Xperia M c1904 Screen flickering Issue

[Charles_Kingsle]

Hi Guys,

After using this device for few months.. I've Noticed something......The Display Starts continously flickering once the display is on and kept idle for sometimes. I took the device to Sony service centre twice and they changed the display each time but the issue not fixed and those guys not even able to detect the cause or able to fix it.. They simple said it may be a software issue or may be common with all Xperia M device and advised me to wait till the next FW update.

Later I discovered that the Display Flickering is observed when the option 'Automatically Adapt to Conditions' under the Display>Brightness Section. Hmm to some extent I can agree that the display brightness vary depending on the ambient light conditions but the Display is flickering like while you're inside a DJ club or a pub where you dont have a constant light.. that doesnt seem normal to me... is this a Software issue then?? because some day back my friend bought one Sony Xperia L - a brand new one and in that device too... I've noticed this...

Need some solution and advice...

Also pls Reply to this post if anybody else facing the same issue.

Thanks and Regards,
Charles

I also facing the same problem. Surely a hardware issue.

    Nothing wrong with Xperia M C1904/1905 !

   " How to fix :

1. Go to settings > about phone
2. Click “build number” 6 times fast
3. You’ll see “you’re now a developer” as a notification at the bottom.
4. Go back to settings, you’ll now see developer options above ‘about phone’.
5. Go in developer options, and click “disable hardware overlays” under the drawing section

This will fix the flickering!! The problem is with android , the OS gets confused and can’t decide if the CPU or the GPU should be drawing the screen, so it flickers do to it switching between the CPU and GPU real fast…"

   Hope you are satisfied !:-)
