Entering safe mode can also be a great way to check if a third-party app is causing the flickering. Try that if rebooting doesn’t help!

That’s a good idea! I’ll try safe mode tonight and see if the flicker continues.

I feel your pain! My phone did the same after dropping it. Have you checked the screen connections? Sometimes, a loose connector can cause flickering.

That’s really smart! I hadn’t thought of that. Guess I should look into it. Thanks!

If you’re feeling adventurous, a quick reset to factory settings can solve many issues, but be cautious as it wipes everything! :sweat_smile:

I dropped mine too, and honestly, it’s been a struggle. I might just drop my phone in the sea for a fresh start. :joy:

Haha! Well, that’s one way to fix it! Seriously though, I can relate; it’s so frustrating.

28

Has anyone looked to see if a software update could be the issue? Sometimes bugs get fixed that way, and you might notice a difference.

It’s just a phone, but it’s so annoying when it doesn’t work! I hope we find a solution soon. :crossed_fingers:

I dropped my phone last week and now the screen flickers too! It’s so annoying. Did anyone find a solid fix?

I know how frustrating that can be. Have you tried restarting it or checking for any loose connections?

33

I faced a similar issue after a drop! Ultimately, I opted for a professional repair. It was slightly pricey, but the flickering stopped completely.

True, professional repairs can be costly but often more reliable. Did you consider DIY fixes before taking that route?

DIY is great for some, but I wouldn’t risk it unless you’re experienced. I tried fixing mine, and it only got worse. Always a gamble!

36

Yikes! It’s good to know this—maybe professionals are the safest bet for me!

If you’re looking for long-term solutions, I suggest checking parts online. You can find quality screens at cheaper prices. Just make sure they’re compatible.

I got mine from a site called iFixit. They have great tutorials too if you decide to try fixing it yourself!

Thanks for the recommendation! But how reliable are these parts really? I’d hate to waste money.
