On some screens in my game I am using surfaceView. It works fine on every other device and android version except one – Samsung galaxy s3 with jellybean update 4.1.1

On this device all the screens using surfaceView go blank and nothing shows up. But I know the game is running because I can hear the sound running. On one of the screens I have set the orientation of the activity as landscape and there it works fine whereas all the other screens having potrait orientation are turning blank on loading

    You will have to turn off fullscreen.

    getWindow().setFlags(WindowManager.LayoutParams.FLAG_FORCE_NOT_FULLSCREEN, 
    WindowManager.LayoutParams.FLAG_FORCE_NOT_FULLSCREEN);

    It’s a bug of jelly bean for certain devices with hardware overlays.
