Any screen flickering issues?

soorajkumar chandran · February 2019

I have been using this nokia 8.1 for quite some time. The screen flickers while making a call sometimes, but not always. Software update issue or screen issue? Any idea?

I had the same problem...the screen didn't respond well when i pressed the power button to check my notifications...after some time it turned red as it flickered and after a while my screen burnt so i had it replaced...now after two or so months i get the same flickering...

I experienced the screen flickering as well. Mostly in the phone app onec in a while.

While it flickered, I pulled down to see the notification tray. It did not flicker but I could see the background flickering. Guess it's a software issue.

Yeah I've noticed it to. Only when ImI using the phone app. Its a line at the bottom of the screen it's visible for a sec and then itsi back to normal.

I have the same issue. It happens every now and then, i.e. every few seconds while phone on stand-by, without making calls. I hard reset it, but no use. It started flickering during making the phone updates! Any help will be highly appreciated.

After 6/2019 updated, the issue cannot be resolved.

Every screen of Nokia 8.1 has a bunch of dead pixels in its upper part.
See the picture below.

I ave been using the Nokia 8.1 for the last 3 days. And I've been experiencing the same issue. Maybe after upgrading to August's security, the problem has started. Any idea about what to do now?

I got the same issue even with the newest update Android 10.

This flickering got worse and worse while making phone call in low signal areas.

Don't know how to solve this but i got this issue earlier and I tried soft reset,full reset but problem was present.I noticed it's happen because of my secondary sim which might have issue because of one year old i.e.Vodafone while using Data,Call and My First SIM is Airtel So I removed Vodafone SIM used my device 2-3 days with single sim i didn't get this issue but when i put My Vodafone SIM I got issue so i replaced this sim and after that ported to Jio and i haven't seen this issue now.

Yup I'm facing the same

Naseh · December 2019

I bought a Nokia 2.2 and it had flickering problem from first seconds of using. so I refund it and bought another one and now this new one has same problem also😐 I don't know what to do. Is there anyone else has this problem with Nokia 2.2?

Basically what I have noticed the problem is only with the 2G network of Idea Vodafone and BSNL whenever there is 4/3 G connectivity for all these three networks then no issue of flickering is there otherwise either you have These Sims in first sim slot or second sim slot except Airtel the 2G network makes the screen flickers

this is the problem of The frequencies
