Screen flickering 4.3

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

I posted 11 sites/blogs talking about screen flickering... also there are to many topics on forums about this issue...
maybe its time for sony to give all of us an answear???

Do we have to replace our devices massively?
Do we have to wait for a fix?

Do developers work on it at least?
SONY have to release a stable for all 4.3jb if they just dont want to give us kitkat (i say they dont want. because kitkat will be perfect for sp and there is no reason for sp to not get kitkat)...
Sony's silence is unacceptable.. 2 months without an official answer!

Not saying you're wrong, but where does the 30% come from? Has someone conducted a large scale survey, or what?

Maybe it's hardware bug?
