Which charging or playing games the screen on my T610 flickers. Is this normal and is anyone else facing the same? Does the new batch of the T610 without the hiss problem have this problem? Mine hisses and was planning to get it exchanged so wanted to find out if this is a common problem with all the T610 or mine specifically?

Note: If you want to figure out the screen filtering easily, put the phone on charge, and turn of the background. With a plain background, you can easily notice the flickering, atleast in mine i can.

It happens everytime the screen refreshes i guess.

Like every increment of the battery (while charging) the screen flickers once.

Even noticed that when i was playing the preinstalled Minigolf game.

Well.... j/k,

but technically we've all got 'flicker' - the screen refreshes many times per second, some of us notice, some don't. Personally i can see it, but it's not too much hassle - looks like a monitor at 60Hz, rather than the usual 100/120Hz i use. I know that loads of other people don't even notice the difference though (but i pity their eyes.)

Plus during games etc where more processor power is being required & more is demanded of the screen (drawing moving objects, etc), then the FPS'll probably drop too - but that'd create more of a 'stutter' than a 'flicker'. I think you are just seeing the same refresh as me, only it's more evident during gameplay or other intense studying of the screen.

Yes I get the flicker as well, and sometimes its so back it makes the phone look a bit cheapass. Like people have said, its more noticebale when charging the battery and playing games.

Its definately not the refresh we are seeing. Its more like the backlight is "pulsing".

^Indeed, it is the baclight 'pulsing'...

If you start a game and watch the progress bar going across, you should notice the pulsing.

Tis irritating but nothing major. Hope SE fix it...

okay guys this is what i noticed,
when charging, its the current/charges that affect the performance of the backlight. something like interference. just like you place your mobile right next to your monitor when receiving calls or SMS.
as for playing of games, only J2ME games does make it flicker. Java sucks that's why it flicker because its s.l.o.w... not with mophun games that i play. only Java games.

Its not just when charging though. I get the pulsing at just about any time. I notice it when playing any Mophun/Java game, and even moving between menus.

I've recently got my T610, and noticed it pulsating while charging. kinda annoying really as no other phone i've got/had does anything of the sort... and the hissing.. sooo bad...
