Fix problems with the screen of Realme mobiles

Problems with the mobile screen are one of the most common errors that can appear from one day to the next in the terminal. It is not necessary that it has fallen or seen the broken panel, to start experiencing failures such as crashes, ghost touches or that we are not able to get it to turn on. And it is that, Realme phones are not free from these failures either.

When we have hit the panel and it has broken, we take it for granted where the operating problems come from. However, the most frustrating thing is when no accident has occurred and the screen starts to fail. As we say, some of the most common failures are related to ghost touches, or the display blocking without us being able to do anything.

The panel does not turn on

In addition, another of the most common failures is that the screen goes black and does not respond. We will be able to continue listening to sounds and alerts on our phone, but the screen will remain off, no button will be used to find it. Faced with all these errors, we have several common solutions that work in the vast majority of cases.

Force restart

The method that offers the best result is to force a restart on our mobile. To do this, we will have to hold down the Power and Volume Up buttons for at least 8 seconds. In this way the terminal will turn off and turn on again with the problem solved.

put it on charge

If the above method doesn’t work, the immediate solution is to put it on charge for 30 minutes and try again . That is, after the loading period, we will retry the restart using the previous system. If this does not work for you, it may be a failure of the device’s own hardware.

Do Hard Reset

If the screen is black or frozen, our only option may be to Hard Reset the Realme phone to recover it:

  1. With the phone frozen, press the power button and the volume down button at the same time.
  2. When the Realme logo appears, we release both buttons.
  3. We select the English language.
  4. With the volume keys we place ourselves in the ‘Wipe Data’ option.
  5. With the power button we confirm.
  6. We place ourselves on ‘Format Data’ and accept.

This is where we enter the ‘wonderful’ world of ghosting and delays. In the vast majority of cases we are facing software problems that we can solve very easily, with several options at our fingertips. We can also find this out by using the Realme mobile bug checker .

take a quiz

On realme mobiles and on most Android devices we can count on the help of a diagnostic test, which we will access by simply typing the following code in the phone app: *#*#6484*#*. Once inside, we will have to go to the touch panel and LCD option to perform a test in search of possible errors. It is the best way to find out if the problem is related to the hardware or if we are facing a software problem that we can solve ourselves.

However, Realme phones have a native function with which you can diagnose the terminal to find out if something is wrong. Once we want to check the status of our smartphone, and all its components, all we have to do is move our finger on the home screen to access the application drawer. Among all the ones that we can have installed, there is one that is especially important, it is called Phone Manager .

When entering the application we will see different sections, but we are going to concentrate on the last one, where it says Component Check. When entering this section we will be able to see a summary of the specifications of our mobile with the RAM and storage memory processor, but also the option to start the verification or test in Realme . By clicking on the Check button, they will show us all the components that we can analyze on the phone, including the smartphone screen.

Calibrate the display

It’s the best way to get your touchpad back to working like it was on the first day. In this way, we will avoid those problems with ghost touches or delays when marking options on the touch screen. In this case, the best option is to use one of the most popular screen calibration apps .

Once downloaded, we will only have to follow the steps that they indicate to us to go touching in different points of the screen, with one or several fingers. Once the steps are complete, the panel will be calibrated again and the problem should disappear.

Update to the latest version

Realme updates are frequent and improve many aspects of the device, for example adding gestures to activate some actions. Some of them have been focused on improving the performance of the screen , so it is important to be sure that we have the latest version. To do this we go to Settings> System> System Updates.

Review the apps

It is very common that a recently installed game or other type of app is interfering with the correct operation of the touch screen. This is usually due to the fact that they stay in the background consuming resources, which causes lag problems, delays and even a black screen. The solution is to check the last installed apps and delete the suspicious ones to see if the problem disappears.

In addition, relame itself recommends scanning the smartphone for viruses from the Phone Manager app (which we saw in the previous section) that is installed as standard on the devices. It is recommended to scan at least once a week and restart the device after each scan.

be careful with covers

If your mobile has a poor quality case or tempered glass on it, it is very likely that without you realizing it, it is the cause of all your problems with the screen. In this case, the possible solution is as simple as removing these accessories and trying the panel again, to see if it now works correctly.

The display looks bad

A screen that is too dark, or one that shows erratic colors, will hamper the experience throughout the system, with a greater incidence in games or multimedia content such as movies or series. In this case, we can also review several points to try to solve the problem.

Auto brightness on

Automatic brightness calibrators are still not overly accurate in many circumstances. This often causes the panel to look too dark or too bright when it should be the other way around. The solution is to go to the settings of our Realme and touch on Screen. Then it will only be necessary to deactivate the Automatic Brightness box.

Calibrate the color

There are specific apps designed to adapt the color of the screen to our tastes in a more precise way . The system shows default settings that may not be to our liking, so it is best to make these settings manually and thus be able to compensate for possible irregularities in their display. Color Calibrator is one of the best apps to modify the intensity of each of the panel’s RGB channels. We can also alter the brightness or create different color profiles. It even has color modes already defined to help you find the touch of color you are looking for without complications.

format the phone

When nothing works, the best solution is to return the mobile to its original state, which in most cases eliminates the problems with the screen at a stroke . To do this, we will have to follow the following steps, but not before having saved our data, since everything installed on the system since we started it for the first time will be eliminated.

  1. Access the settings of your Realme.
  2. Click on Additional settings.
  3. Select Backup and reset.
  4. If you want to delete everything, click on the last option, Return to the factory state (delete everything).

If it’s broken…

If our Realme has been hit, it is possible that the screen starts to show strange colors or streaks that we cannot eliminate . In this case, and unfortunately, it is a sign that the panel has been damaged, so it is more than likely that we will need the help of a specialist technician to be able to fix the problem.

Although, we can also change the panel ourselves, yes, we must be careful, since we could break the smartphone forever. If you dare to replace it, these are the steps you must follow:

  1. We will have to turn off the mobile. Next, check to see if the terminal has any kind of screw somewhere on the edges of the device, if so, you’ll need to remove it.
  2. Then, apply heat with a blow dryer around the screen so its seal softens.
  3. Now, we will have to stick a suction cup in the area of the lower or upper panel and pull gently, since that is where we will insert the pick .
  4. Remove the chassis containing the display from the front bezel or bezel and glass assembly by unscrewing a set of screws. We must also separate the damaged glass from the bezel or the front frame. In addition, you will have to be careful with the telephone connections (note where you should connect each cable).
  5. Next, we will remove the seal from the new panel and remove the plate that comes on the broken screen, which is responsible for dissipating the heat from the touch glass device of the terminal, in addition to holding it. We may have to remove both the selfie camera and the top speaker from the terminal.
  6. Finally, we will place the new display, the plate that we had previously removed and we will connect all the connections.
