Android keyboard flickers on and off when typing

Question

When I type on my Android keyboard, it flickers on and off, I'm not sure why. I'm using Samsung Galaxy S3 if it matters.

How to fix it?

Answer 1

Disable the hardware overlays from the developer options.

1. Go to Settings - Developer options
2. Tick Disable HW overlays.

It should drastically fix the flickers or at least help until the fix is merged.
