Who else has screen flicker problems?

No flicker on my phone - got it from radio shack; first phone from best buy had screen defect - yellow spot under screen and light leak between bottom bezel and frame right below android function buttons. Also, radio shack had no problem activating my phone.

i agree with you. when best buy wouldn't exchange my phone i told them they could keep it (i returned it) and went and got it from radio shack. the manager who refused to exchange was wearing coke bottle lenses and told me he couldn't see any visible defect.
 
Mine does it and after five times the screen will get extra bright.

I guess I'm going to BB after all.
 
Yep. Get a new one. I tried the "galaxy" and "nexus" live wallpapers on mine, slept and unslept with both a bunch of times and no flicker...

I've seen this happen a few times on mine, but can't recreate it with any reliability. And it's only happened a few times...
 
Anyone have the flicker issues while using netflix, I only get it during the playback so I don't know if it's the phone or netflix.

Also I already returned one earlier where the touchscreen was not responsive so I'm afraid the stores batch might have issues.
 
So I've had it since Friday. No screen flicker issues... this morning I installed folder organized of whatever the free application from Amazon is called today. Screen immediately started flickering. Uninstalled the app and the flickering is gone and haven't seen any all day
 
I only started seeing the flicker after I rooted it. So I think that may be the reason. Did anyone else who has the flicker problem root their phone?
 
Was not as. Lol.
Maybe see if you remember the last app you downloaded before the flickering started?
Or are they doing it right out of the box?

That's what happened after a factory reset on a phone with the flicker.
 
I got a slightly minor screen flicker issue when backing out of sleep mode. But there is a big screen flickering issue during video chat using yahoo messenger. Adjusting the brightness won't make the issue go away.

I bought the phone from bestbuy yesterday. I will definitely go for an exchange.

BTW, the battery life is not good, half an hour music streaming and web browsing kill at least 50% of battery.
Wierd 3G connection issue. After listening to Amazon cloud music for like 15 minutes, the 3G connection just died. I have to restart the phone to get back the internet.
