Question:

What is causing the flickering on the screen when using the Chrome app?

 

Answer:

The flickering on the screen when using the Chrome app is caused by a setting error in the Direct Rendering Display Composer (DRDC) GPU usage within the app. This has been reported to the development team at Google, and they are working on a solution.

 

In the meantime, here's what you can do:

  • Update your Chrome app to the latest version available on the Play Store, which includes the fix for this issue.
  • As a temporary workaround, follow these steps:
  • Run the Chrome app and enter 'chrome://flags' in the URL input window.
  • Search for 'drdc' in the search flags section.
  • Select 'Disabled' from the options ('Default' or 'Enabled') for the 'Enable Display Composer to use a new GPU thread' item.
  • Click the 'Relaunch' button to restart the app.
