3rd party keyboards causing screen to flicker.

**gordonzhao** · 08-03-2012, 04:10 PM

I've come to the conclusion that the screen flickers at times when I'm typing. And only when I'm using the 3rd party keyboard. I use TouchPal (which is hands down better than stock). Is anyone experiencing this issue? It's a very sporadic flicker, but it's definitely noticeable and gets irritating. If anyone has a fix, please post!

I too have noticed it - but not very often - I'm using SwiftKey 3.

Touchwiz is just a bit glitchy does it on most things

It's very noticeable if you're sending an sms I don't think it's as frequent in other apps.

other than: the screen flicker its pretty solid, though I replaced the dialer and contacts with TouchPal as well.

I think Swype is part of the stock isn't it? I installed TouchPal right after the phone was turned on.

I wonder what it could be. I have a white one coming so I hope it's not the same.

SwiftKey 3 had flicker for me mostly in the messaging app

But my phone also occasionally flickers on widget locker too, so I'm not entirely sure keyword related

I definitely notice flicker from time to time with my SwiftKey as well. I think the problem is more likely with the messaging app though as that seems to be the main place I see it.

If I recall correctly I've seen the screen flicker in just about every app that I've had to type in. Of course not everytime I type but it's been noticed in every app.
