 I cannot test this myself because I do not have Android, but here is a
 quote from the help desk, ticket #8615:

 > I installed Orbot in my Nexus 7, and while it works, whenever I go back
 to
 > it (that is, I use another application, and then return to Orbot) the
 > application starts flickering, and I cannot stop or reconfigure it. It
 > won't answer to any clicks (touchs?) and the only way out is killing it
 > through another app. What's the problem?

 Help desk ticket #8617 describes comments on Google Market  from  users
 experiencing similar issues.
