Note 20 Flickering

[Ranjen617]

On my drive home this evening I was using Google Maps, Amazon Music, location set to on and Bluetooth set to on. Whenever I tried to text someone to say I was coming in, my phone started to flicker. Phone stopped charging as well.

At this point the Maps closed, music still played and I was finally able to text. I unplugged the phone and plugged the phone back in, started to charge very slow. Samsung cable and Samsung plug.

Got in, tried to text another to let them know I made it in. Phone unplugged, GPS off, location off, Maps off, Amazon Music off and BT off at this point. Phone screen still flickered.

Restarted the phone using the restart function. So far it's ok. Unsure what exactly caused this but may have fixed this.

Anyone else dealing with flickering?

Below is the fix or workaround...

Looks like what I mentioned for the home screen folders issue you had . Most likely going factory reset

I did a reset actually. This is another new issue that just came up. The apps are still popping out of the folders also. I can't win lately.

Oh wow, might have to wait for next update maybe.

I just got the security update today. Didn't flicker going down the road this evening. I'll update if it does. Security update shouldn't help should it?

Funny my mothers s20 Ultra was having a screen flickering issue yesterday. Two week old phone. Luckily there was a software update pending.
Updated and cured the problem.

I did a little research and the screen smoothness setting was allegedly the cause though no firm resolution. Good luck.

It can come with performance and stability improvement

Yep there's often more to a security update than just security
