Overview

If you own a Huawei smartphone and suddenly find yourself facing a green, red, or blue screen, you’re not alone. These colorful screens can often indicate serious issues ranging from software glitches to potential hardware failures. In this post, we’ll explore potential causes and solutions to help you navigate through these challenges.

Common Causes

  1. Software Glitches: Updates gone wrong or compatibility issues may trigger abnormal screen behavior.
  2. Hardware Damage: Dropping your phone or exposure to moisture can affect the screen functionality.
  3. Overheating: Continuous high usage can cause overheating, leading to screen malfunctions.

Troubleshooting Steps

Step 1: Soft Reset

  • Long Press the Power Button: Hold it down for about 10-15 seconds. This can force a reboot and might resolve temporary software issues.

Step 2: Boot into Safe Mode

  • Safe Mode Activation: Boot the phone into Safe Mode to determine if third-party apps are causing the problem. To do this:
    • Press and hold the power button.
    • When the Huawei logo appears, press and hold the volume down button until the device finishes restarting.
    • You should see ‘Safe Mode’ in the corner of the screen.
  • Test Functionality: If the screen works normally, an app is likely causing the issue.

Step 3: Factory Reset

  • Backup Important Data: If you’re still facing issues, consider a factory reset, but remember this will erase all your data.
  • How to Factory Reset:
    • Go to Settings > System & updates > Reset > Factory data reset.
    • Follow the instructions on the screen to reset the device.

Step 4: Seek Professional Help

If none of the above steps work, it might be time to consult with a professional technician. Take your phone to a certified Huawei service center for an in-depth diagnostic.

I’ve been seeing a lot of green screen issues on my Huawei P30 Pro lately. The screen flickers randomly and the colors seem off. Is this common?

Yes, green screen issues can occur, especially on older models like the P20 series. It usually happens due to a software glitch or display hardware failure.

I had a similar problem on my Huawei Nova! It would turn a bright green, too. Restarting the device seemed to temporarily fix it, but the issue returns.

That’s interesting, @joelweaver! Restarting helped temporarily for me as well, but I worry it might be a hardware issue looming.

It really is! Red screen especially seems like a symptom of overheating or graphical errors. Has anyone tried changing the display settings?

I’ve tried adjusting the display settings and it worked for a while. But then my Huawei went blue screen! Any tips on that?

Blue screens are often related to memory issues. A quick fix is clearing cache, but if it persists, you might want to consider a factory reset.

Yikes, that’s a last resort! But I hear you—sometimes we have to go to extremes. Any success stories after a reset?

Surprisingly, after a reset, my problems didn’t come back immediately. But now, my screen has turned purple! What does that even mean?

12

I read somewhere that color bleeding can lead to screens showing weird colors. Is this related to the RGB settings not aligning?

13

I had a yellow tint on my screen once! @conwayhoward, could it be that we are missing a simple software update for color calibration?

14

That could be it. Trying an update first might save us some headaches. Anyone know which version is stable?
