Is auto brightness set to on?

 

After looking at most of the links in this search.

I have come to the conclusion that it is a small hardware glitch. Seen across multiple phones, keyboards, and platforms.

 

Looks like it is a known bug in swiftkey itself.

screen Flicker

ADW will cause a flicker too when Sense is not disabled or frozen with Titanium. It's something that comes and goes though. Nothing like you are seeing though.

 

Yeah, may have to just live with it.

 

I've also experienced multiple dropped calls with my SV. I checked with my Marquee and I have full signal, switch over to the SV and the signal fluctuates drastically. I'm taking mine back today for a replacement. Hopefully it's just a hardware issue. Figured I might as well get it done since my warranty ends the 14th for returns. Fingers crossed!!

 

Could the app dev's filter comments at the play store? Hmmmm

 

Sorry to go off-topic again.

I just got back from Radio Shack with my new phone. Looks like it's still got a very low signal compared to my Marquee. Damn thing even dropped a few calls while I was in town where there is a decent signal! I hate to say it but I may just end up taking it back. It really makes no sense at all when my Marquee is getting 3 bars to a full signal and this phone has sporadic signal and drops calls right and left. I'll just have to see. I've got 6 days to make my mind up. That's when the option to return it runs out. I really hate it too because I love this phone.

 

Dangit What about screen flicker?

 

LOL!!! No screen flicker for me when using Swiftkey. I only see it once in awhile when changing screens. I've already figured it out. It has to do with Sense and ADW Ex. As long as I disable Sense or freeze it w/ Titanium I'm good.


EDIT: That was on the phone I just took back. I haven't even rooted the new one I got today. I may just wait for the update and then root. Haven't made up my mind yet.

I may have spoken too soon. It looks like my reception is a little better after all. I've made 3 calls on it since coming home and no dropped calls yet. Keeping my fingers crossed!! lol


I'll install Swiftkey right now and test it for you on my new device

 

LOL!!! I took mine back rooted and all. They didn't even check it. The trick is to go ahead and wipe it then have it fully booted up. That way they won't see that the bootloader has been unlocked. Don't really think it would have mattered anyways since it was a hardware issue.

Also, I flashed back to a copy my original ROM. It was straight stock when I gave it to them.

OK, just installed the paid version of Swiftkey and it's working fine. No flicker at all that I can see. I'll report back here if I encounter any though and let you know.

 

I think you will be happier in the end if you do take it back.
A small issue can turn into a bigger one later, sometimes.

 

I agree w/ Lilbit. I would go ahead and take it back. If it is a hardware malfunction, it's best to go ahead and get it taken care of. No sense in taking the chance when you still have the option to get it replaced locally.

Also, doesn't Zag have a replacement policy for their screen protectors? If so, I would look that screen protector over very carefully. If there is even the slightest imperfection, use the warranty. That's what it's there for.

ORRRRR, why not take it back to Best Buy? They should replace the screen protector within the 1st 30 days whether there's anything wrong with it or not. Just let them know you have a defective phone and you need them to replace the Zag so you can put it on your new phone. They should do it!
