If you don't have full bars all the time (not close enough to your wifi router), I'd suggest returning it and waiting another month before buying another one.
Asus has to be aware of this issue by now...someone in the XDA thread said the newer ones have that fix.
I just got a new one from Staples (exchanged for one w/ light bleed on the backlight) and it still has the flicker problem...very noticable w/ weak wifi signal...barely noticable on strong wifi. At least they seem to have fixed the left edge of the screen popping up in this batch
My wifi bar was full, from what i noticed it was flickering anytime it was attempting to download something, which meant while web browsing and loading a webpage it would flicker as well as watching a netflix movie (but it was hard to notice) I just returned it to staples, got a refund, and I am just gonna wait till i come back from after vacation and hope a new batch is out and the bugs are ironed out. The flicker is a defect, since my first one didnt do it, and the screen retention is also a defect, since my second one didnt do it (actually it did very very lightly, but no where near as bad as the first one). Staples doesnt have any more replacements for me but im worried that now i would get one with a glass separation issue or bleeding issue. As much as I hate being without it, I would just recommend everyone to keep sending the defective ones back, that way they have to do something about the quality control.
