# What if the phone screen is flickering?



## Answers

### Answer by Saumya Mishra

## Possible causes:

- **[Software](https://www.mindstick.com/articles/23272/why-software-localization-is-important-for-your-business):** Glitches, outdated apps/OS, conflicting settings like auto-brightness or blue light filters.
- [**Hardware**](https://www.mindstick.com/category/article/hardware-technology)**:** Physical damage like cracks, water exposure, or faulty [internal](https://www.mindstick.com/interview/956/describe-the-accessibility-modifier-protected-internal) components.

## [Troubleshooting](https://www.mindstick.com/articles/1617/desktop-troubleshooting) steps:

- **Quick fix:** Restart your phone. Often a [temporary](https://www.mindstick.com/forum/2292/how-to-set-temporary-path-of-jdk-in-windows) glitch is the culprit.
- **Software checks:**

   - **Updates:** Ensure your OS and apps are updated. Bugs might already have fixed.
   - **Settings:** [Disable](https://www.mindstick.com/interview/1528/disable-enable-an-element-in-jquery) auto-brightness and blue light filters. Play with brightness levels.
   - **Safe mode:** Boot into safe mode (instructions vary by phone model) to see if it's app-related. Uninstall suspicious apps.

- **Hardware checks:**

   - **Damage:** Inspect for cracks, scratches, or water damage. Contact your phone manufacturer or a [trusted](https://www.mindstick.com/interview/863/which-one-is-trusted-and-which-one-is-untrusted) repair shop.
   - **[Charging](https://www.mindstick.com/articles/310460/why-you-should-have-charging-stations-at-events):** Try a different cable and power outlet. Faulty connections can cause flickering.

## If all else fails:

- **Backup & reset:** Backing up your data first, try a [factory](https://www.mindstick.com/blog/304231/factory-vs-service-in-angularjs-which-one-better) reset. This wipes everything clean and resolves software issues.
- **Contact support:** If nothing works, reach out to your phone manufacturer's support team for further diagnosis and repair options.
