FP2 : screen sparkling

[fafa]

Hi folks,
I got a problem since day one with my FP2 screen.
I received it 10days ago approx.
Frequently, the screen is ‘sparkling’. Like a star in the sky.
anyone have this issue on his phone ?
thank you

Maybe you should give it a try with de-assembling and re-assembling the screen (and cleaning the contacts with alcohol) since it could be just contact problems?
Boot the phone again you probably already tried?!

Have also a look here:

Screen blurs and lines appear

Hello, I noticed a problem with my FP2. I don’t know if it’s related to the flickering problem but it seems different, hence a new topic. After a few minutes of use, the screen gets blurry and then ligth colored lines appear on most of its surface. It’s still possible to read but it’s uncomfortable. If I close the screen (or let it go to sleep) and open it again, it’s back to normal, for a few minutes only. I tried to toggle brightness, adaptative on or off, but it doesn’t seem to help. I too…

How do I replace a module/the screen?

#The guide moved here. ###Original Post: The modules of Fairphone 2 can be replaced very easily. You can already find little tutorials on Youtube: How to replace the screen If you run into troubles try the trick explained in the pictures below.

If you are talking about the flickering in low brightness than this is a known bug an FP is working on a fix for the next software update.

Hi @therob you guess well. I already tried to reboot it.
Didn’t try to open screen & clean contacts.

But It seems that Pascaline has the same problem.
Seems to be a known bug https://forum.fairphone.com/t/screen-flickers-at-low-brightness-fix-planned-for-future-update/11577?u=paulakreuzer

So, I’m going to wait for FP upgrade on this issue.
Thanks anyway!

But It seems that Pascaline has the same problem.

OK, but to be clear about this:

• under “sparkling” I understood something different: blinking spots distributed through the screen, like “stars” you described it…
• The bug about flickering is changing in brightness across the complete screen homogeniously, or at least in big horizontal stripes and a lot of poeple have this (incl. me)

So how it looks like? Homogenious or local brightness changes?

I unlisted this topic as it’s the same issue as the bug, so now we can go a bit off-topic without disturbing the other forum users.

@therob

I think “like stars” describes the screen flickering pretty well. If you look up in the night-sky under dark and clear circumstances you’ll notice a lot of stars that “flicker” = change brightness in different frequencies. Sure you see them as just some points (like pixels), but then again - if you’d few the fairphone from a few hundred meters away the whole screen would appear as a single point too.

Hi @therob you’re right, I didn’t describe it as well as Paulkreuzer.
Homogenious like Paul’s description.
Thanks!
