Up until this morning, Ive not had any problems with my 8530. I have NOT updated to the new OS thats out now, but all of a sudden my screen has started flickering. Ive not loaded anything different to the phone, Ive actually deleted a few themes and apps I dont really use. THis is just out of nowhere. Any ideas? Thanks!
I'm talking about a flickering like an old flourescent bulb, like right when it blows. I know what the gradual lightening and darkening is. I've always had my screen set to gradually dim after a few seconds to save battery life. This is something totally different.

I turned it off, just to check, but so far it still does it. Its mainly doing the flashing while Im texting. It doesnt happen when its just sitting, but only during use. Nope, no new case. I dont wipe it off or clean it with anything, just blow off the keys where there is dust. Strange....
Wipe the whole BB off with a soft cloth like the one used for your glasses or a camera lens. You might have a bit of dirt on the light sensor. I was told the light sensor is in with the LED on the top of the BB, make sure that is clean.
