Aug 8, 2013 8:04 AM in response to 1muddyfarmerby matt00,Hey 1muddyfarmer
Thanks for the question, and welcome to Apple Support Communities.
The following article provides troubleshooting steps for potential hardware issues. If you have not done so, does restarting or resetting your iPhone help the issue?

Oct 30, 2013 10:05 PM in response to 1muddyfarmerby bossodg,Can you be a bit clearer on when it flickers, first turn on, using an app, making calls. Just so we understand better

Oct 30, 2013 10:11 PM in response to bossodgby cathybeex,★HelpfulOkay well I was actually face-timing someone when my phone froze then my screen suddenly went white. So I turned my phone off then turned it back on. I noticed something weird with the screen and that it kept flicering around the corners. I does it non-stop. Doesn't matter if I'm opening an app or on the lock screen, it just flickers.

Oct 30, 2013 10:17 PM in response to cathybeexby bossodg,I would see if it happens with it restored via http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1808 and set up as new that will tell you if its hardware, If it's not hardware add your back to the phone and see if it keeps happening, if yes its a corruption in personal files

Nov 22, 2013 8:09 AM in response to bossodgby MaddyJ,I found this happened to my phone too after the ios7 updates. Solved by turning off auto-brightness. Since then all has been fine, just have to manually brighten/dim screen when I need to

Mar 13, 2014 11:38 AM in response to 1muddyfarmerby Gryphon MacThoy,Me too. I was trying to install iOS7.1. It wouldn't install due to lack of room. sync got stuck for an hour doing nothing so I unplugged from laptop. sync incidator still going on the phone so I shut the phone completely off and started it back up and it started flickering.
1 - Rebooting the phone doesn't fix it.
2 - Really? Reset like brand new - for a screen flicker? Are you kidding? I thought this was APPLE, not Microsoft?

Well. FIX is a strong word. "Made it stop flickering. For now."

Jul 8, 2014 8:42 PM in response to 1muddyfarmerby Elendae,If anyone still has this problem, an easy fix is to set your brightness to the lowest possible setting and leave it there for a little while. After maybe ten minutes, I set the brightness back to full and the screen wasn't flickering anymore. Better than rebooting several times.

Jul 8, 2014 8:47 PM in response to 1muddyfarmerby Mac.Dee,I had this problem before and also like my screen went like lightly color stripes.
You can try hold power and home till it restarts and release after seeing the apple logo. Turn off auto brightness and set brightness between range lowest to middle.

Sep 4, 2014 2:17 AM in response to MaddyJby Gin Tonyx,Same for me: I switched auto-screen-brightness off, reduced the brightness manually and then switched auto-brightness back on. Flickering is gone for now.
Will comment here if / when it comes back.
