i have the same problem, has anyone found a solution?
I had the same problem for my Samsung tab 10.1, flickering and restarts, I fixed it:
1.- I unplugged all the main cables like charge battery, screen, data cables.
2.- Adjusted and plugged again after of 10 min.
3.- note: remove both side the screen cable and press well after plugg it.
4.- Charge and turn on.
It worked for me, now, the recommendation from fuzzy is good idea to do after that the screen work.

While this may be the solution, it isn't so easily accomplished. Normally a "soldered-in" battery is in fact ultrasonically welded. Using a soldering iron will heat the battery and likely ruin it. It's too bad Samsung is making such junk lately. I was starting to like my Tab S 8.4 -- the form factor is perfect for a tablet.
Morning.
Im from Brasil, sane problem here "flicking, glitch, auto rebooting ", more later i will try to open and see batery terminal solder point and i try to resolder with my reflow station and if it works i back with news.
When i use power adapter it dont reboot or flick screen.
Then lets try.
Bye and sorry my bad grammar i am brasilian and dont talk english very well and dont using an translator.
I didn't have to re-solder the connector, but I did see that the plug was not seated all the way thanks to the picture.
I pressed the connector down tight and all is right and good with the world again.
I just do same think the other friend here on the forum.
Thanks lot for this picture, cause this realy was the big problem on my case.
I had this same problem, too, with a 2 year old table and tried everything on the internet I could find.
Thinking it was a battery problem, I took it to a local we-fix-it place and that was not it.
Eventually went through Samsung to get it fixed (out of warrenty, $218 max on fixing it.)
Shipped it to them (price included). They returned it "fixed" saying it was a loose batter cable. It was not as the "reboot" happend right out of the box.
Now that it was "fixed", it was under a short-term warrenty. Promptly called them, got it sent back, included a detailed note not to "trust their quality control team as the reboot problem could go along time and not happen and need, sometimes, to run a few programs to see it happen."
Finally returned fixed. Notes state they had replace the motherboard. (what it actually said was "SVC PBA-PBA MAIN (XAR); SM-T800,-,SVC,M32").
So this is a motherboard problem according to my repair and issue. Guess it was cheaper than buying a new tablet. And I do like the Tab S 10.5. So glad I did it.
