Screen Flickering while Charging

Jamdude — Thu, 10 Apr 2014 23:12:50 GMT

It seems to have only started happening since the 4.4.2 update, but whenever I put my phone on charge the screen will flicker. My phone is fully up to date and I charge it using the supplied charger and have also tried the Sony charging dock, a USB plug from my old Sony phone, and multiple Micro USB wires but I get the same result with all of them.

If something is moving on the screen such as a video playing or I'm typing then it doesn't seem to flicker, but if I'm not doing anything then the screen will flicker black rather wildly. Any help would be great, thanks.

Hi there,

That´s strange.

Repair/re-install the latest firmware using Sony Update Service (ignore the notification that your phone is up to date and follow the recommended steps on the screen).

Sony Update Service

If you want to backup your important data, read this topic:

Cheers.

It looks like the problem's fixed for now. I noticed the most recent build number for my phone is 14.3.A.0.757 but Sony PC Companion recognises my device as being on the latest version which for me is 14.3.A.0.681.

I factory reset my phone, updated everything, and now it doesn't flicker when its charging, thanks for your help.

My Z1 is running on 14.3.A.0.757 too. I tried factory reset, but no luck! Screen still flickers while charging and when battery is charged more than 60%! It's so annoying! Fix this Sony!!!!
