i don't know if its because of ICS or something went wrong in my xperia s.

but in some games like Temple Run : Brave, Cut the Rope... or even when i open images... the screen start flickering.

it'll be easier to use another camera to record the issue, does it happen with other games or just with few games?

if it's only one game most likely it's a compatibility issue

that seems to be a compatibility issue that must be fixed by the game developer

I just watched the first video, it seems odd, repair your phone with SUS and check if the flickering with the photo app continues

Good day!

I have most likely the same issue but in my case screen is flashing when in keypad lock mode ( I am using face unlock) when I lock my phone it will be blackout right? but after a few minutes it flashes in a randomed timing showing the face unlock screen even my phone is just sitting in the desk and no body touching it. What could be the problem Sony? Thank you hope you can help me.
