Hi there,
Someone gifted me this phone and from first day of usage,
I'm having very strange issue with it's screen.
Its screen stress my eyes and make my eyes red if i look at it for above 15 minutes... Even in lowest to sub-lowest brightness.
Same issue was faced by one who gifted me this phone.
I want to ask that someone else is also facing the same problem or there's some fault in my unit?
I can't really figure out the problem my self, and to be honest i never had this problem before. Even thought i spent hours with my old 3.5" android phone and it never stressed my eyes or made it red.

Try using the screen filter app from the play store. It reduces the screen brightness as maybe that is the problem. I also recommend seeing a doctor as this could be very bad for your eyes.

Hi everyone,
I have worked out that its heat that causes the phone to start to flicker. I put my phone in the freezer for about seconds seconds (don't advice anyone else to do this) and boom the flicker went away for a while.
So this means its not the screens which are faulty looks like a hardware design fail to me. Whats the long term effect of this on the device? Could it cause the phone to stop working? Who knows but i cant belive HTC did not catch this during testing.

I played Glowball for at least a half hour yesterday and my display didn't flicker. So it's not all of them.
mate flicker is a defect, end, my hox heats to 53deg n no flicker
Definitely not heat related, I noticed the flicker as soon as the several I've had were delivered, they were freezing at the time, as they'd been in a couriers van all day in cold weather. If anything it then became more intermittent as it warmed up.

Hello xda,
Today I was using my XS as usual I was playing a game. The phone then became a bit hot ( I wouldn't say it overheated just got a little hotter) then out of nowhere my screen went darker, flickered a bit and has remained really dim since.
Initially I thought it may be a software issue so flashed to stock .55 ics but that didn't make a difference.
The only thing that does help is cooling the phone, (in a fridge ) which brings the screen back to normal until the phone warms up again, this made me think there could be a loose /faulty connection somewhere inside the phone but I can't check as I need the correct tools.
So my question is, has anybody else come across this problem?
If you have how did you fix it? (if it's possible to fix)
Or is my lovely XS just dying :'''( ?
P. S. My phone has taken a lot of abuse so that may be the reason lol
Thanks to any help in advance
The screen dims to keep it from overheating. Its a safety action to keep your phone from burning.

No man you don't understand my phone screen is PERMANENTLY dim and it didn't overheat because previously I've felt the phone get hotter than it did.
Im nearly sure of the cause now, it must be some form of loose connection. I will report back with facts once I can take it apart.
Any other ideas still welcome, would be nice to hear from someone who's fixed this before.

I got my nexus 7 today, but around 30% brightness the screen will start to flicker like a candle and it's pretty unbearable. I was wondering if this was a softwarw problem that could be fixed or whether I should just exchange it for another one.

Same problem if the environment light is not stable, the light sensor is so sensitive that will make the problem happen. The Nexus 7 1st has this problem too. The AUSU' offical explanation said that the problem is normal situation. Unbelievable!!!
hmm.. I dont see to have this issue? Are you able to provide steps to replicate it?

No I'm not, it happened today while I was visiting a friend. I just dropped my brightness down to about 30% and this horrible flickering just started, I got home today and I can't seem to replicate the problem.
Taking it back on Saturday anyways because I was watching a movie and oh god, I got some BAD light bleed.

I haven't seen a lot of this reported at all really. Before you return, if you could, take a short video of the issue happening. I'd be curious to see what it looks like. It does sound like a bad panel, though; so definitely let us know how the new one works out.
I just got my nexus today and have experienced this flicker issue within 10 minutes of use , I'm happy to say I immediately came to my trusty xda app for answers and as usual found one !! Seeing that I'm not the only one having this issue I'm thinking its a hardware problem.

I read about this here or some place else and if I remember they said not to lower brightness below 40 for those with the issue.

My actual camera has been lost for like uh, 4 months lol.

This is exactly what happened to me, also I can reproduce it while having my brightness in the 20-50% range while having a subpar wifi signal.
Hello there guys.
I just wanted to ask you this: have your HOV had any issues with dead pixels ever? One day I just noticed a really hard to spot but surprisingly regularly placed dead pixels. It was just another day, I unlocked phone, checked time, kept living my day like I would normally do. Then when I entered my dropbox app, I noticed those pixels. They are only spottable (still you need to focus to see them) on white bright backgrounds. I tried this Dead Pixel Spot and Fix app from google play. It basically flashed my screen with colors for around 15 mins in hope of reviving dead pixels.
Unfortunately it hasn't helped. They are nothing major, but once I spotted them I know their placement and I see them with my brain not eyes if you know what I mean.
I haven't done anything that could harm them. It dropped few times but nothing happened just seconds after. I have it in case too. Tried to press some spots on the phone in hope of fixing it but that seems not to be the case.
Any ideas how to fix it, any feedback on your HOVs?
I think this has something to do with the "wire" or "tape" connecting motherboard with lcd. Is that possible?

Hi, I’m having a problem with my Huawei Mate 20 that I bought in 2019. The screen brightness is too low even when set to 100%. This started happening two days ago after I spent the day outside in the sun (i don't know if hot temperatures influenced but has already been 2 days so is strange). When I got home, I charged my phone and opened some apps, but it started crashing and the screen went black. I tried force rebooting it multiple times but the screen remained black. I thought it might be a battery issue so I charged it for an hour and a half but still nothing. After 40 minutes, I accidentally pointed a lamp at my phone and could see that it was working perfectly but the brightness was very low. A similar thing happened to me in 2020 but I can’t remember how I fixed it. I tried searching for solutions online and on XDA developers but none of them worked for me except one that involved ADB which I can’t try because for some reason I can’t connect my phone to my PC with USB debugging. My warranty has expired like 2 years ago so lol... and I haven’t received a response from Huawei support yet (i emailed them yesterday)
Welcome to XDA.
It was heat damaged. Anything above 125F can do it. Exposure to direct sunlight on a hot day is especially bad.
I did this accidentally to my Samsung S4+ years ago. Very faded out and got worse the more I used it.
Oddly after sitting unused it got slightly better. After I got a new phone it sat for months unused, it improve further still. After 3 years it appears to operate normally now. The crystals seem to have reverted back. Peculiar critters.
Yours may or may not do the same. There may be a way to accelerate the process. Mine sat in both hot and cold environments during that time.
Putting a charge on the crystals by using the phone is probably what hindered their recovery.
Either replace the display or let it rest. Using it will likely make it worse...

Hi black, thank you for the warm welcome and for responding to me. In fact, now that I think about it, the last time this happened to me, I had exposed it to a lot of sunlight. Would it be a good idea to place it in a cooler or shadier location to speed up its recovery? And approximately how long should I let it rest? About a week?

Cooling it might hinder it's recovery. Not really sure. I was surprised when mine eventually recovered. Not saying this will be your outcome.
Also it may take way longer then is practical
If you need to pull data leave it sit for as long as you can wait.
It's back lighting is working, right?

Lol, it looks like i just ****ed up my phone. Before I started this thread on the forum, for pure curiosity, I tried to activate the torch but it didn’t work despite multiple attempts. I hope it’s not a hardware issue ()

It can easily happen; protect from drops, water... and heat.
The battery may have failed if the phone died completely.
