How To Fix The Honor 10 Lite Screen Flickering Issue

You should make sure that your phone is running on the latest software version before performing the troubleshooting steps listed below. If an update is available then I suggest that you download and install it first. This will minimize the possibility of the problem being caused by an outdated software glitch.

One of the most common reasons why the screen of the phone will flicker is because of a software glitch. This is why we will be concentrating our troubleshooting efforts on the software of the phone.

Perform a soft reset

Your device will store the most commonly used data allowing it a faster access time which results in a better user experience. This data however can become corrupted which in turn can lead to various issues. To fix this you should refresh the phone software which can be done easily by simply restarting the device.

• Press and hold the Power key for up to 45 seconds.
• Wait as the device restarts.

Check if the Honor 10 Lite screen flickering issue still occurs.

Start the phone in Safe Mode

There are cases when an app you downloaded from the Google Play Store will cause issues on the phone when they are installed. To check if an app you downloaded is causing the problem you will have to start the phone in Safe Mode as only the pre-installed apps are allowed to run in this mode.

• Power off the phone by holding down the power button for a few seconds.
• Press and hold the power button and release it when you see the Honor logo on screen.
• After releasing the Power key, immediately press and hold the Volume down key.
• Keep holding the Volume key till the phone completely boots up.
• Once the phone boots up,  “Safe mode” should appear on the bottom of the screen

In case the issue does not occur in this mode then it is most likely caused by an app you installed. Find out what app this is and uninstall it.

To find out what app is causing the problem you will need to perform a trial and error method. Restart the phone normally then uninstall the last app you downloaded before the issue occurred. Check if the screen still flickers. Repeat this step until the screen stops flickering after uninstalling an app. That particular app is most likely what’s causing the problem.

Wipe the cache partition of the phone

There are cases when the cached data stored in the dedicated partition of the phone can become corrupted. When this happens this will usually cause certain issues to occur on the phone. To eliminate the possibility that this is what’s causing the problem you will have to wipe the cache partition of the phone from the recovery mode.

• Turn off your phone.
• Press and hold the Volume UP button along with Power button on your  device simultaneously for a few seconds
• The phone will enter the stock recovery mode
• Use volume buttons to highlight ‘wipe cache partition’ and use power key to select it
• Reboot the system once the process is completed

Check if the issue still occurs.

Perform a factory reset

In case the above steps fails to fix the Honor 10 Lite screen flickering issue then the best  way to proceed right now is to perform a factory reset. Take note that this will erase your phone data.

• Turn off your phone.
• Press and hold the Volume UP button along with Power button on your  device simultaneously for a few seconds
• The phone will enter the stock recovery mode
• Use volume buttons to highlight  select wipe cache/factory reset and use power key to select it
• Reboot the system once the process is completed

Setup the phone, but do not install any apps yet, then check if the issue still occurs. If it does then this might already be caused by a faulty hardware component. The best thing to do right now is to bring the phone to a service center and have it checked.
