Title: Screen Flickering/Interfering/Mirroring?
Post by: DanSibley on January 21, 2015, 07:10:21 PM: Hi Guys
So I just bought myself a 2013 Nexus 7 32GB WiFi, and I'm having some issues with the screen.
For no reason it will just start flickering on the bottom half (see the attached video to see exactly what i mean).

If i turn the tablet on and off again it just comes straight back.
Has anybody seen this before and has any tips on what to do about it that'd be a great help!
Thanks,
Dan

My Nexus 7 was updated to android 5.0.2 and everything went slow and crashing, games or navigators or FB stops and can't even use it!!!

Post by: matt on January 30, 2015, 05:34:38 AM: I'd do a reset without backup and restore. Then add programs one at a time to see what is churning up resources. You could try uninstalling Facebook first, it seems a likely culprit. Oh, do you have google play set to auto update? That can tie things up as well.
