Screen flickering issue after replacement of broken screen. - OnePlus 3T Questions & Answers

Recently I replaced* my oneplus 3t screen as it was broken.
When asked in official service centres, the price was not affordable tbh as I could buy a new phone in it.
That is approx. 170+ USD.
So I went for a duplicate copy display.
The thing is I bricked my smartphone before, so I used the unbricking guide and installed everything from the MSM tool.
I am not sure whether the flickering is due to the display used, some problem in the digitizer or I have made some mistake in installing and its due to a software fault.
Please help me to find out whats the problem, if its the screen issue, I'll have to be accustomed with it and if not and there's some software fix, it would be great.
P.S: A noob here, sorry if this thread seems too lame but I required assistance.

If factory reset doesn't help, then it's a fault either in the new replacement screen or on the logic board of the phone. You didn't buy the cheapest replacement screen did you? These are usually second or third hand sorting with some quality flaws.

Hey, I'm running into the same problem. I had my screen replaced and the screen would flicker as it turned on. The repair guy tried a bunch of different panels but no luck, the issue persisted. Did you figure out what's causing the screen to flicker? Is it a software issue or a hardware one?

same here, i don think that it's software because it's flickering (in my op3t) even in TWRP when screen have more to refresh like it's changing the background. now i'll backup phone then Factory reset, can someone tell me how to check what type of screen is mounted? aida64 doesnt tell me anything or i just cant find
Edit:
As expected nothing changed but it's on my Op3t YOURS can be different

[Q] Phone starts and sounds but screen remains black, with backlight on!!

Hello all,
My Xperia was in a serious bootloop that I couldn't fix, not with pc companion not with flashtool flashing stock roms. So I gave up and sent it to the closest Sony Mobile certified repair store, it took them one month to tell me they couldn't fix it, they said they opened it, changed the battery and it still had the same problem so they also gave up and gave it to me, they did say the problem could be the motherboard. I'm now living in Brazil and getting a motherboard for the c6602 is impossible first of all because the phone was never commercialized here (and importing is impossible, it'd take 2.5 months and they'd charge me 200% of the part price, unfortunately that's how Brazil works ). Something interesting that happened is that when I got my phone back they had solved the bootloop issue but they created another issue, the phone starts makes all the sounds the screen turns on BUT all you can see in the screen is the black color, so the backlight is on but nothing shows up.
Could I be able to fix this via software? or the only option is changing the motherboard (or maybe fixing something on it)?
If any of you knows how to fix this I'd appreciate an answer.

Because I sent it to sony and they said the problem was the motherboard and the problems the phone's been giving are pretty random, for example at the beginning the problem was that it had random reboot each one with more frequency, it when from that to just work with the ac adapter connected, it went from that to a bootloop of just showing the sony logo and restarting, after I got it from sony the problem is that it boots app (without needing to be connected) it makes all the sounds like it was working perfectly but the screen is ON but black. So because all this I'm convinced it's the motherboard.
I see changing the battery didn't fix your problem.
I think it's so sad that this phone with just more than a year of life are getting this serious problems and sony isn't doing **** to help us. They keps my phone 1 month just to tell me that it couldn't get fixed, they said they changed the battery and all but still the same problem. I've reached a point when I just don't trust sony anymore, I'm getting a galaxy s4 on monday but still I wanna fix this crappy-phone.
Well, in my case it happened out of nowhere, I wasn't doing anything special with the phone..., I'm thinking maybe restoring the TA partition would fix something? I don't know... I found the motherboard for 80 euros in aliexpress

Dead screen ?

My phone's screen just went black suddenly while i was using the phone last night. Nothing i do will wake the screen up, i tried rebooting by holding the power button, tried power+volume down also to boot into recovery .. no response. However the phone seems to be functioning as i can hear the screen lock sound. I think im stuck on the pin screen (the one to pass the boot-up-encryption). theres some vibration and feedback when i randomly press on the screen too.
The device is running Stock 6.0.1 , unrooted , stock kernel. Has this ever happened to anyone else ? could it be a software issue ?
I believe the LCD panel just went dead ..
Thanks!
Have you hooked it up to a computer and tried to see if it's recognised by ADB?

I had a nexus that had a faulty screen and randomly shut off or something half the screen will glitch out and one day it just stopped working but I could hear the lockscreen sounds. Your best bet would be to send it in for service maybe its a loose connecting or a hardware issue. When mine started acting up it was a loose connecting so if I hit the phone with my hand it would go back to normal and then it stopped working. Its a common issue if you do a google search many people have encountered this
That sounds to me like a return-under-warranty job. If you were in the UK you could quote the Sale of Goods Act, which specifies that an item must be of suitable quality and last a reasonable amount of time, but in my case when I returned my faulty N5 to Google after 18 months they were as good as gold, didn't quibble, simply replaced it with a refurbished one which appeared to me to be indistinguishable from brand new.
Since by definition your phone must be very close to its warranty period, depending on when you got it, I'd start with that. This is the link I used from the UK - maybe different if you're elsewhere, but you should find a link called "Get a call from a hardware specialist":

That makes sense. could be just a loose connector between the LCD panel and the MoBo ..
Problem is i live in Jordan and I got the phone from Dubai. Its still under warranty of the seller (Souq.com ; an online store .. kind of like Amazon of the middle east ), So i have to send my phone to Dubai to fix it. Now i could just go to a local phone repair shop and ask the guy to check the connectors, but im afraid that would void the warranty and not solve the problem ;( .

I submitted the form , although i live in Jordan which has no presence of Google whatsoever but what the heck !
thanks all for your suggestions.
Google is supposedly a global company...
Let us know how it goes, and good luck.
Well, if you figure out that it is just the screen, you can use this program for basic control with a lot of latency

Mi5 32gb Black Edition [Touch Screen issue]

Hello all!
So, I've been in love with all Xiaomi Products for a long time, my my phone is an OnePlus One and I can say that I'm not a newbie regarding this Android world.
Months ago I bought a Mi Pad 2 which had a strange behaviour with the screen, sometimes when I lock the screen, I couldn't unlock it. After spend an afternoon, flashing, reflashing and trying with different roms, I could fix it.
Yesterday I got my Mi5, It came perfectly on its box. After charging for a while (It came without charge) I tried to set it up. It came with Miui 7 International version, play store and play services already installed.
I notice a strange behaviour with the screen out of the box, it didn't respond very well and sometimes I couldn't unlock the screen. So I decide to Flash Miui 8 by following the Miui.com instructions but nothing changed, I'd said that I got worse.
Looks like the screen did not respond very well, after using a "touch screen test" app, I could see that the response was very poor, I barely could detect my 2 fingers and if I try to draw a line, I doesn't recognize all the movement that I'm doing in the screen.
Have you guys seems this before? Do you think it's a soft issue? For me it looks like a hardware issue, I already open a ticket with the support, but would be amazing if I could fix it by myself.
Btw, meantime I request to unlock my phone from mi.com/unlock but I don't want to touch the bootloader till I don't get an answer from support.
Thaaaaaank you!
Normally mi 5 doesnt have that issue, even i never heard that was a bug. So i guess it hardware issue, return it to your dealer

EVA-L19 Replaced Screen, Swiping Works Intermittently

I sat on my Huawei P9 EVL-L19 and ruined the screen. It had horizontal lines that would come and go. Sometimes it would select things on the screen without any input from me.
I bought a Perthde Display + Touch Screen Digitizer Assembly With Frame off AliExpress. Had a local shop replace it.
Now, swiping works intermittently. Give a swipe, it works. Swipe again, it doesn't. Wait a second, and it works again.
Tried doing a reset; no change. Went back to the shop, and they wouldn't do anything. Their response was that the replacement part must be faulty. Wondering if it the new screen / digitizer is truly bad, or they screwed up installing it. A loose connection or ?
At a loss for what to do next. Thoughts?
Thanks.

I had a weird problem with my P9 as well which I have documented on other threads here. My situation was this: Phone worked perfectly fine UNTIL I updated from Marshmallow to Nougat. Once on Nougat my scrolling was non-existant. I tried everything including many tips & tricks from very helpful experts here on this forum. I had to revert back to Marshmallow so that I could use my P9. One day I came across a thread that explained Huawei and Emui have a sensitivity to screens that is unique. I purchased this screen at https://www.witrigs.com/oem-lcd-screen-assembly-for-huawei-p9-black and had a local phone repair shop do the job. It fixed the problem totally and was a beautiful replacement. It seems that it really DOES matter about the quality of the replacement part. I am pretty sure this is your problem also. Make sure you get the total LCD screen assembly and digitizer and I highly recommend the company web site above. Good Luck!

Thanks for that info. Took the phone to another shop today. They are going to replace the screen with one from their supplier. It comes with a guarantee, so I should be ok. Another $45, but since the phone is nearly new, worth doing.

Note 8 Screen suddendly turn full flicker green !

Hello Guys !
I have a big massive Problem with my Note 8 SM-N950F.
I was watching Youtube and my Phone has worked fine no Problem no Green Screen till suddendly my Screen went full Green Flickering mode and I dont know what the Reason is. I restarted the Phone and it worked again no problem for 30min then it went back to Green flickering screen.
I have try : Restore the Phone as New completly Wipe out / Result = Negative
Installed a Custom Rom / Result = Negative
I did not dropped the Phone nor does it has a Water Damage.
The Green Flickering screen only comes when Im in the System but while I am on TWRP it never shows up so I think it has something to do with the system and not Hardware.

A full wipe and flashing the latest official firmware usually solves non-hardware issues. If you tried that and the issue is still there, then it sounds like a hardware issue that would need repair (hopefully within warranty).

Motherboards can be faulty, etc. It doesn't have to be caused by the user. If you flash stock with full wipe and the issue persists then the only remaining variable is hardware. Either that or maybe you didn't do the full wipe when flashing latest firmware. Not sure what else to suggest beyond those two possibilities. Hope you get it working.
I had this also on my N950F. It happened very suddenly while I was using it:-
* Greenish tint
* Reduced brightness capability
* Flickering
* ~half-inch border of more intense tinting on all four sides
Cut a long story short - couldn't fix it with a complete factory reset.
Today, the problem has suddenly disappeared and the screen is perfect after four days with this issue. Just out of the blue - screen back to normal.
I'm guessing it was either a dodgy board connection which righted itself, or a temporary light sensor issue.
it is a hardware fault relating to the lcd. this is usually seen when the phone has been dropped. and is a broken lcd. i know its stated it wasnt dropped but that is the issue

Utter nonsense. It hasn't been dropped and it doesn't have an LCD screen. Know-it-alls spoil it for others by making unfounded comments.

Yes, that's it, if not droped, then a faulty screen, just like that, many people wish that all problems can be fixed by some trick, clever app or hidden setting, but, in true, a very little number of troubles are fixed this way, so my advice would be to take the device to an authorized samsung service center

Be nice to people trying to help you.
There is two causes to this. Software or hardware. Next time it happens try screen capture. If appears on screen shot it's software buggy. Although highly unlikely but if it does usually a reboot or factory reset solves it.
Other more likely scenario is hardware. If you used a crt tv you'll know as its the same symtom of failing picture tube.
And it's definitely not connector issue.
