Yes, many users reported similar problems with the iPhone 12. I wonder if it’s a software issue or a hardware defect. Has anyone consulted Apple about it?
I did! They suggested resetting the phone, but it didn’t help. Frustrating!
I think it’s more common in certain models like the Pixel 5 too. I’ve experienced it sporadically. It’s a bummer, really.
Right? I had a friend with a Pixel who had to get it replaced because of this. No one should have to deal with a flashing screen.
Support told me it’s a known issue with some phones, but they rarely admit it. You can find similar complaints across many forums if you search.
I’ve noticed that too. It’s mostly Samsung and iPhone, right? What are the others facing this issue?
The LG series has also had its fair share of problems like this. Has anyone tried a factory reset to see if that helps?
I tried, and it didn’t fix it. Almost makes you want to give up tech entirely!

Maybe it could be a versioning issue after an OS update? I remember it happening to a friend right after a system upgrade.
Good point! It might be worth checking for any pending updates too. Who would have thought a screen could give so much trouble?
Honestly, it feels like they design phones to break just after warranty! It’s a conspiracy, right?

Haha, I love the humor! But really, it’s no joke when your screen flashes. Let’s figure this out together!

I think consumer reports should push for more transparency with brands. It’s hard to trust if they keep sweeping these issues under the rug.
Absolutely! Every time I hear about a new model, I wonder if it’s just hiding old issues with a shiny new shell.
I had a green flashing screen too! It turned out to be a loose connector inside. Hardware issues can definitely cause that. Have you tried checking for loose components?
Wow, that sounds frustrating! But it could also be a software glitch. Have you updated your phone’s software recently?
I think both hardware and software can cause this. I had an app that went haywire and caused my screen to flicker green! I just uninstalled it, and the problem was solved.

Good point, apeterson! It’s interesting how software can sometimes mimic hardware issues. Try booting your phone in safe mode and see if the flashing continues.
How would I do that? Is it the same for all brands?
If your phone’s Android, just hold down the power button, then long press ‘Power Off’ to see the safe mode option. For iPhones, just restart it while holding the volume button! Give it a try.
