Screen flickering 4.3

JTLtd_ — Fri, 28 Feb 2014 18:24:15 GMT

Flashed Generic AU .266 C5303 to my UK unbranded C5303 and my screen/backlight is flickering like a pulse. Anyone else experiencing these issues?

Are you using official update or official flash from different country/carrier? May be an issue when using different firmware..

I would downgrade but I experienced so many issues in 4.1.2 even after many repairs.. Hope there's a fix, this is the only issue I am experiencing, apart from no NFC logo in notification bar, but that doesn't bother me at all ...

No, BE2 not working but I didn't really like using it, the contrast change in reds were too intense for me IMO .. I couldn't use any music player without it force closing while using ANY app in 4.1.2, massive dissapointment for me as I like to roam and listen to music ..

Did you experience it on 4.1 too??

The same problem here, after 4.3 update the screen started to flicker, its especially noticeable in poor light conditions, or when the backlight is at the maximum and/or with mainly grey colors. Before the update there wasnt any problems with that. This is very annoying, and not very ergonomic, i have to say. Any solutions?

Rickard;

I will pm you in the morning.

The flickering is constant, bear in mind it is very faint until you notice it. I don't see it on blacks or whites but greys show it immediately.

Most noticeable on nav bar as the transparency makes it look as though the wallpaper is changing
