Screen flickering 4.3

[JTLtd_]

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

It looks like software - doesn't happen in 4.1.2.

There are lots of flickering devices (Sony and non-Sony) that can be fixed with turning off the auto brightness, tweaking build.prop/kernel, or forcing GPU rendering. None of these works in this case, so it's kind of now up to Sony to fix it.

hardware bug?!?!?!? and How disappears when we do downgrade???? magic?!?!?!?

4.3 [.201] + some devices = Flickering Screen.

anyway .... it's not our fault

and two questions

Why so much interest in you prove otherwise? if the problem is other people?

Why is not 30%, you know if it's less? I appreciate the information, not just the negative or doubt

nop maybe im wrong.. but my nerd calculator brain get that % by combining some forum answers from different sites and some polls on xda (1st poll 11 votes I have flickering-minilag problem vs 15 votes I dont have flickering-minilag problem)... another poll i created http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2683322,. but this is a general 266 bug problem.. flickering still not solved on 201.. (numbers are small but still %.. and im sure many ppl dont even notice and care about flickering like my girlfriend she cant see it for any reason :S fkin noob )

I didn't make the assertion mate, not for me to disprove it. If I said 30% of people had two d1cks, would it be up to you to disprove it?

Hope it get's fixed - 2 months and no answer is not good.

We all hope... i have the chance to trade it for galaxy s3 now.. but i dont like galaxy s3 :S sp is stronger.. maybe s3 is little better on multitasking cause of quadcore but sp gpu is way to stronger and cpu higher ghz(antutu 3rd test 30-40 fps on 4.1.2 with sp and 15-22 the s3 on 4.3).. with 4.3 antutu is even better on sp

The s3 was my 2nd choice. My g/f has one, and it is pretty good, but I don't regret getting the SP too much. The main reason I didn't get the s3 was I thought "it's getting old and won't get KitKat, but the SP definitely will". Doh!

xD thats why samsung is miles better than sony on sales....  Every samsung device of friends i played with are super stable even with stock...
Sony has beautiful devices and i never had hardware problem with any device (only with sony ericssont t610 joystic was problematic )..
But ugly samsung have better developers - support?!?!?? in my opinion always.
btw sp have better battery life than samsung (on 4.1.2 for me 2 days with enough use)

about kitkat i dont care for now i just want a stable jellybean 😕

kitkat update is a dream for me on sp cause they have to work on z series now

This has been investigated again and i passed on the videos posted here and if adjusting the brightness a little doesn't help you need to contact a service location for assistance.
