My New iPad's screen is flickering after 30min of usage
My New iPad's screen is flickering after 30min of usage and needs to reboot to work properly. Is it a SW or HW problem? Anyone got this same issue?

Thats what im doing too... But im goin to the store this friday to have it check and probably buy applecareplus...is applecare plus worth it?..
I have the same problem too only that with all the apps and even photos the only solution is restarting the iPad hd but it doesn't sole it completely it will crash after a while... On top of that it deletes all my apps from time to time but if you Check the usage it's still there
Yeah I have the same problem with my new iPad and CRS Racing game.
Rebooting helps to resolve flickering display problem but I am don't want to restart my iPad each time I play this game. There should be a better solution from CRS Racing game developers side.
Same problem here on new iPad after playing CSR Racing
Same problem with mine...
playing 3 days in a row and now after playing CSR Racing => flickering in other applic's.
😠
So how can we push developpers to find a solution?
I experienced flickering as well. It stopped once I completely closed the CSR game app- from the bottom apps menu.
I'm having a screen issue as well but, instead of flickering, a full 1/3rd of my screen on the right side when held in portrait or 1/3rd of the bottom when held in landscape mode gradually gets noticeably darker. This is with the new iPad. I was looking through recent posts to see if anyone else has been having screen issues when I ran across this posting. When I read that the issue seems to be caused by, or possibly related to, playing CSR Racing, I took immediate notice as I just started playing CSR.
When I last played, the screen darkened in that 1/3rd area. I closed everything down and rebooted a few minutes later. The only program I opened was Safari and, within seconds, the screen darkened again. I don't have any idea if the flickering and this darkening I'm experiencing is related, but I have a feeling the problem is going to spread among new iPad users, sorry to say.
I plan on visiting the Apple store next week to look into this more deeply.
I stopped playing csr and deleted it the 2nd time it happened to me... And luckily my new ipad is still good.. Took it to the store to buy applec+, then i told them about the flickering, they said if it only happen to one app, its just that app... Ur ipad should be fine....
Just kill the CSR Racing from running in background after you have finished playing it.
How to kill bacground app?
Double hit home button and you will see the list of recently used apps.
Now tap and hold on any of those apps unitill you see red circle at the top of all icons
Hit that red circle to kill this app from running in background.
This will save a bit of battery life as well.
This helped me to solve flickering iPad display problem after playing this game, I gues it should help most of you as well.
Enjoy the game! 🙂
UPDATE!
I experienced a little flickering and had a darkening of the screen on the right side AND also play CSR Racing. I made an appointment with an Apple Genius yesterday, a really bright and knowledgeable young woman. She was familiar with the flickering but had never seen the screen darkening on one side. She believed it was hardware related and doubted very much if any app could cause it. After backing everything up on iCloud, she restored the original iOS AND flashed the firmware. I had to reinstall everything from scratch since if I used my backup, and the problem occured again, there was no way of proving whether the problem is harware or software related due to corruption. So far the problems have not reoccured. And, I am continuing to play CSR!
This incident is now on record (and I have a copy). Should it happen again, I was told the iPad would be replaced, no problem.
Just thought you guys should know.
Here the same problem, flickering after i played csr racing game for a long time.
I have taken my new ipad 3 back to the shop for repair and now my ipad is for 4 weeks in repair :-( bomber!

I'm sure it's the CSR Racing... apple gave me a replacement and i had to reinstall everything from scratch as well. after playing CSR Racing again, it started happening again. next time it happens, i'm going to erase CSR to see if the problem goes away.
CSR should fix this issue!!
Just kill the CRS Racing app after you stop playing it so it doesn't run in backgroud. It will avoid flickering. Read my previus message for more information.
Haven't had any issues since
Hi Alex
I got the same problem (Cause my husband play CSR Racing too.....><)
Originally, we think that we just had a bad luck, so we got the FLICKERING ipad
So, we went to apple store to change a new one home
But, after two day, the same problem came out
Then I saw your share
I am having problems with the CSR Racing app on the Iphone4. It will not open and just has a black screen. When the app does not function I have noticed that all of the apps that require "Location Services" also will not function correctly. (ie: maps, weather, gas buddy.) When CSR Racing functions properly all other apps work correctly. I have sent in many help desk requests with no reply. Has anybody else noticed this on the Iphones?
