Hi All,

So I power up my previously perfectly functioning Samsung Galaxy S3 Tab after it had installed some updates and all of a sudden I have these malformed characters in text happening.

This seems to be in all Apps and it flickers between different characters randomly.

I went through all the setting but couldn't find an issue > Then factory reset the tablet expecting that to fix it but its still the same!!

The screen is fine as photos/movies etc display perfectly fine - Its just that it seems to be unable to display text reliably now?

Hoping someone on here can help as I'm all out of ideas - Any advice would be very greatly appreciated.
