Netflix issue -- Tearing with high speed horizontal movement



Folks,

I'm not sure if this issue occurred during 4.4 Kit-kat, but it definitely has happened on Lollipop.

I purchased a 612 in Japan a few months ago. The Lollipop update wasn't coming through for me (and I had some Wi-Fi frequency issues), so when I finally saw an apparently official 612 American (I'm American) ROM to flash, I diligently followed instructions and successfully installed 5.0. I've since upgraded to 5.1.1 using Sony's PC Companion.

Anyways, onto the issue, which I believe this is the ONLY community on the net that could possibly help me with.

In Netflix, and seemingly ONLY on Netflix (as in, not via the Videos app, YouTube, etc), when a movie has high speed panning/action, there is a tear in the first 1/3 of the screen (a vertical one), toward the SONY logo. When I flip the tablet 180 degrees, it's on the opposite 1/3 of the screen!


The ONLY thought I have is that maybe the Japanese models physically have a different refresh rate than the US ones, and in flashing my unit, I managed to run into that issue? And perhaps Netflix is one app that doesn't VSYNC properly? I've tested every thing under the sun and while I originally thought it was happening only after I pulled the notifications tab down from the top, I recently had it happen without touching anything after a fresh restart.

I LOVE this tablet, but honestly, Netflix in bed is a HUGE use case for me. I'd LOVE to solve this issue. If anyone can help (and please let me know if more info is needed btw), I'm exceedingly grateful.
