Screen flickering? Conflict!
(Click here to view the original thread with full colors/images)

Lately i've noticed that when in text or any app my screen will just turn off at random, i will then push the top button to turn the screen, then it will faintly flash then go black again. once i push it again it then turns on, this happens alot, and almost every day if not every day. why does this happen?

the phone is unlocked and im using it with T-Mobile but i doubt that would affect the screen, would any of the apps i have cause conflict with the screen issue?

maybe some others and experiencing the same problem?

I have a virgin 1.1.1 phone and it did the same thing about 2 weeks after I got it and just as the problem came out of nowhere, it disappearred just as mysteriously.

when i txt alot it happens

honestly everytime i turned on the screen today it happened

even if i pushed the home button or the sleep/wake button. both did it.

why does this happen?

is the phone screen short circuiting or something?
seems like it b/c it hesitates to turn on. then second try it happens?

I had no idea that it was this common! Does it ever happen when you randomly get a text? It displays it for a second then shuts off for about 20 seconds, then turns back on to display the text?

yes i get the same thing, its quite annoying if you ask me, and idk what causes it either?

atleast im not the only one who has this problem.,
too bad we dont know why it happens.
i suggest turning the phone off, then back on.
just to refresh things. ..?

i think it happens when you dont press the button in all the way

because sometimes it happens like 3 times in a row, then it doesn't

so im THINKING its not full contact with the button but im probably wrong idk

I'm in the same boat.

It does the samething for me too, after some programs it will do this blinking thing.

It happened to me, just a couple of days ago. Although I think it had to do with the actual screen. I could kind of twist on the phone(not hard but put pressure on it) and the screen would black out every time. I noticed it when I was hokking it up to charge at night. It lit back up after repeatedly hitting the home button. I eventually figured out that the sweet spot was at the lower right hand corner of the screen.

What's crazy, is that I have yet to be able to reproduce it ever since. It had me worried that the phone was on it's way out.
