Screen flickering colours like static

Just got my phone today but there is an odd issue where every so often a little flicker happens. It's appears kind of like static across the whole screen but all colours. It only happs for a tiny fraction of a second.

Sort of feels like maybe a hardware thing, lose connection or something.

Happens to all phones if you stare at it long enough - It's part of the GPU rendering - It becomes an issue if it's a constant flickering

Really? I never noticed it on my Nexus 4 or 5 and I used them much more than this. I guess I'll keep an eye on it and if it keeps happening, I'll take it for repair.

I have the same problem, and it is like Yoshiki's video. It usually happens very briefly but a couple of times it has stayed on for a second or two longer. I wish I could re-create the problem so I could take it back but it is very random...

I have the same problem... Any idea? Is it a hardware problem?

It's just the GPU updating and stuff (Post 2).

No problem.

Unless it happens for more than 2 seconds.

This is generally a problem, such is not the iPhone 6! Sometimes hangs seconds 10 - 15, I think it's a marriage, as was the case with tablets from Sony, or a program glitch that output latest build software is not corrected ... and took almost a month!

I have this problem on my Z3 too. Often when the camera is in use.

Hi everyone,

got this problem with my Z3, too.

An i can't  believe, it's normal, because my Xperia Z2 doesn't have such "glitches".

And i've looked for a very long time on the dispaly e.g. playing games (the same games on the z3).

So it's an bad code in the 4.4.4? Hope Sony will release a patch to solve this glitch error soon.
