What screen flickering issue? Seems like a hardware issue not software. I haven't had or heard of that issue from iPadOS 17.
Got a tip for us?

There was a lot of unable to check for updates today for some reason, normally you don't see that. The update usually shows up quicker dependent on the package size. MacOS is usually the last one to show OTA.
Restore to 16 and see if it still happens.
Anyone else’s WiFi and cellular symbols gone on the Home Screen? Reappears when you open an app. Might be a bug.. haven’t seen release notes
I'm about to update. Does anyone know if this fixes the issue with abnormally large iCloud device backups? My typical backup is 5-6 GB and now they are over 60 GB.
EDIT: Beta 5 fixed this issue, my 14 Pro backup is back to 5.5 GB again.

All my devices on 17 are 3-4GB. Delete your backup and start a new one.
I tried that but it didn't help. I'm updating to beta 5 and will try it again. There are some posts on Reddit with people saying the same thing about large backup sizes.

Hopefully this resolves the issue with Beta 4 that some folks were complaining about - iCloud backups not running. I was ready to install Beta 4 until I read that.
It's not a HW issue - doesn't happen in iPad OS 16 - and it has been reported by others.
It seems to be tied to auto brightness which once disabled seems to stop the problem.
Yes, seems to be the case here, too, on my iPhone 13 when first starting. A restart didn't help. But the icons seem to stay after you open an app.
I always wait until August to test the public beta. This will be my first when released.
I am not seeing the flickering. I thought it look fine.
I'm on PB2 and so far it's been stable. No issues.
Hoping this fixes the (minor) CarPlay issue of the up/down/left/right controls not working to quickly navigate, have to use the rotational control in my car at the moment (no touch screen)
Are you the same guy from Reddit literally the same comment lol
More of a beta 4 issue I guess, but saw some weird flickering refresh thing on the update screen, both before and after it found the update
My phone calls no longer show the small contact photo, but a full screen poster which I heartily dislike. Anyone find a way to change these back?
