Hello guys,
I have my bold since January (2012) and until now I was pretty happy with it.
But yesterday I suddenly found its screen shimmering while watching pictures/photos.
This shimmering appers as darker thin lines running from the bottom to the top. I reboot it for several times and still screen shimmering.
Is there anybody who faced the same screen issue? :confused:
Can you please advise me how to solve the problem.
Thanks!
Do a self test diagnostics to determine if it is a hardware or software issue. Options/Device/Device and Starus Information. Type the word t e s t. Then follow the prompts. Best of luck. Let us know how things go.
Thanks for prompt reply, but would you pls teach me where to type "test".
In the Option/Device/Device and Status Information I could not see the field where I can type.
You just type t e s t there is no place to input it.
Albee, can you please advise me which field I should use to type "t e s t" on the Options/Device/Device and Starus Information.:confused:
thanks
Dilshod as albee said, just go to Options>Device>Device and Status information.. Now when you are at that screen, you don't need to find a field to write �test�, just type word �test� from keyboard and follow the on screen instructions.
Danii, thanks. Gotcha.
Just followed all prompts, but shimmering still persisting. Rebooted devise. No change.
Pls help. guys!
Sounds like a hardware problem to me. If your handset is under warrenty then get it replaced. Did you happend to drop it recently or is it a second hand purchase?
Your conclusion is scaring me. Warranty already expired.
I bought it as new and never had it dropped or whatever. I'm very careful with my bold.
I didn't want to scare you but maybe I was too quick to jump to the conclusion. If I was you, I would wipe my dvice and install a fresh OS. What OS are you running and does screen shows fault only browsing through pictures?
In case I wipe it, any chance this problem disappear?
I'm running 7.0.0.296 which is originally came with my devise.
The screen shows fault (flicker) only browsing through the pictures. When I put screen display brightness as 100%, the thin lines which were running from bottom to up are seems to be gone, and only light flicker appears. But as soon as I make brightness as 50 or 70%, the stripes start running again.
Any other idea?
I cannot guarantee you anything but can only suggest. It will be your call. There is nothing else I can suggest so wait for a better expert who can suggest something else. Wish you best of luck with your device.
Thanks.
I'd better to wait until some other expert could suggest something else.
Guys, after 2 times of device self test, I reboot it with battery pull (took out battery for few minutes and put it back) and now the screen problem has gone. I can see the pictures on folder w/o any shimmering/flicker.
I don't know what happened.
Anyway, I'm happy again.:rolleyes:
Thanks to all of you!!
