Thread: Flickering light.

I was wondering if anyone has had this before.
Sometimes, my BB's backlight flickers randomly. I dont think its a OS issue.
Has anyone had this before? Do you think its a hardware issue?

thanks in advance

I havent seen that before, I would be inclined to think hardware though.

Yeah i had a feeling it was that.
Damn, i hate the return process with Bell, it takes 4 weeks. Gah!

I also get this, usually when the back round color on the screen is white (SMS,BBM,Phonebook).

Just wanted to let you know that you are not alone!

Did/will you return yours?

i had it once and it just went away

I had the flickering light when i upgraded to .114 OS. I just downgraded back to .109 and i haven't seen the flicker yet.

I think it's the ambient light sensor going crazy, but I could be wrong..... It seems that even going from a shadowed area to a lighted area triggers it.

i noticed it once on my #2 storm, when i was runnin .75. Havent seen it since, but im now on #4 running crackmans hybrid!

i have had it on my phone since new. i had to turn off the auto dim in settings to correct problem.

Flickering light usually happens on OS .114
It's a verified problem of the 9500 leaked .114 OS along with other bugs...
I know so as I have been messing around with .114 a week or two just before I got back to official .113 (and also confirmed this with other users)
