> C510 screen flickering
Bookmark topic
I noticed something strange on my c510. Its nothing major but its slightly irritating me. Every now and then the screen flickers constantly until i switch it off and back on again then it stops. Its like a strange shimmering. The screen is not distorted its just slight flicker shimmer type thing cant explain it. Switching off and back on stops it. Anyone else noticed this with theirs?

Hi no haven't noticed that on my new one (or the one I took back that took black photos), not yet anyway. Maybe you should change it in case it gets worse.

Its over 28 days old now plus i debranded it. I will try to explain. It does not happen often just sometimes. You know when you look at a tv or pc screen for too long and its that bright it starts to look like its flickering. Well it does that sometimes the backlight. Its so hard to explain properly. Its not really bad just bit strange and as i said happens only every now and again hardly ever really.

I've had not problems with my C510 flickering and mine is 19 days old. The only thing i noticed regarding the screen that it is sometimes hard to see what you are doing when its very bright outside.

Oh dear that's a pity. I read on the other thread that you'd updated the software. I've never done that on a phone, nearly did a minute ago with my new one but was worried I'd mess it up so chickened out. Maybe when there is another software update it will fix it. I'd phone SE to see what they suggest.

I never updated software i debranded. I tried updating mine is 032 it shows 035 is out but it said i already have latest software. Mine is month old. The screen kind of does it sometimes a slight flicker. There is problem too apparently with this firmware of a split screen like it goes into 4 mirror images. It happened once with mine.

Hi Bonovox. My C510 has contracted the very same screen-flickering illness (like a very low refresh rate problem), but i could only notice it when sending a text. It fixes itself if i turn it off though and it has only happened twice to me.

And here the seemingly perfect C510 is starting to show its spots, really a pity. The phone is pretty nice when I tried it in an Orange shop, guess the problems will start now...
