Whenever I play games and use my camera. The screen flickers.

Why my phone screen flickers?. It only happens when I play games and use the camera. Normal facebook usage seems fine only in games. and sometimes hear a static noise behind the phone not the speaker.

Answer this question I have this problem too

Is this a good question?

Hi,

Does it do this with the charger connected and switched on?

Hello thanks for the reply. It makes grinding noises with or without charging. Also did a 3d bench mark test the screen flickers and also in games. But when I text message or just browse the web its doesnt flicker or make noise.

Hi,

Try starting the phone in safe mode just to eliminate the possibility that it is a downloaded app that is causing the problem.

If it doesn’t happen in safe mode then you will have to uninstall each downloaded app, one by one and test the phone in normal mode between each uninstall. When it no longer occurs the last downloaded app that was uninstalled was the culprit.

If still no good in safe mode, then you may have to reset the phone to prove whether it is a software or a hardware problem.

Be aware that a factory reset will erase all your data and downloaded apps. It will reset the phone back to its’ factory default condition. Therefore it is important to back up the phone to a pc or the cloud first before performing a factory reset.

Once the phone has been backed up using the phone’s backup feature, reset the phone using the phone’s factory restore feature.

Once it has been reset to factory default, test the phone.

If it is still faulty it is a hardware problem.

If it works OK, restore the phone with the backup you made earlier using the phone’s restore feature.

Once it has been restored test that it is still working OK.
