Problems with our mobile screen are one of the most common problems. You don’t need to have dropped it or see the broken screen, to start experiencing failures such as locks, ghost touches or that we are not able to get it to turn on. Realme‘s mobiles also do not get rid of these problems, but luckily we have several solutions to try to keep up with these errors with the screen.
When we hit the screen and it has broken, we take for granted where the malfunctions come from. However, the most frustrating thing is when there has been no accident and the screen starts to fail. As we say, some of the most common failures are related to ghost touches, or the screen lock without being able to do anything.
The screen does not turn on
In addition, another of the most common failures is that the screen remains black and does not respond. We can continue listening to sounds and alerts in our realme, but the screen will remain off, no button will be used to find it. Given 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 device. To do this, we will have to press the Power and Volume Up buttons for at least 8 seconds. This way the terminal will turn off and back 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 . In other words, after the loading period, we will try to restart using the previous system.
The screen malfunctions
This is where we enter the “wonderful” world of ghost touches and delays . In the vast majority of occasions we are facing software problems that we can solve very easily, with various options at our fingertips.
Calibrate the screen
It’s the best way to get the touchscreen back to work the first day. In this way we will avoid those problems with phantom touches or delays when it comes to marking options on the screen. In this case, the best option is to use one of the most popular screen calibration apps.
Once downloaded, we just have to follow the steps that indicate to go tapping at different points on the screen, with one or more fingers. Once the steps are completed the screen will be calibrated again and the problem should disappear.
Upgrade to the latest version
Realme updates are frequent and improve many aspects of the device. 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 apps
It is very common that some 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 the black screen. The solution is to check the latest installed apps and delete the suspicious ones to see if the problem disappears.
In addition, the relame itself recommends scanning the phone for viruses from the Security Center app that is installed as standard on the devices. It is recommended to search at least once a week and restart the device after each analysis.
Be careful with the covers
If your mobile phone has a poor quality tempered glass or cover , it is very likely that without you noticing, 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 testing the screen again, to see if it now works correctly.
The screen looks bad
A screen that is too dark, or a screen that shows erratic colors, will weigh down the experience throughout the system, with 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.
Automatic brightness activated
Auto brightness calibrators are still not overly accurate in many circumstances. This often causes the screen to appear too dark or excessively bright when it should be upside down. The solution is to go to the settings of our realme and touch “Screen”. Then it will only be necessary to deactivate the “Automatic Brightness” box.
Calibrate 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 your display. Color Calibrator is one of the best apps to modify the intensity of each of the RGB channels on the screen. We can also alter the brightness or create different color profiles. It also has already defined color modes to give you find the touch of color we are looking for without complications.
Is it a hit?
If our OPPO have taken a hit, the screen may start showing strange colors or streaks that we cannot eliminate. In this case and unfortunately, it is a sign that the LCD panel has been damaged, so it is more than likely that we need the help of a specialist technician to fix the problem.
Are there more solutions?
Mobile diagnosis
On realme phones and on most Android devices we can count on the help of a diagnostic test, which we will access by simply writing the following code in the phone app: * # * # 6484 * # * Once we have a center, we will have that go to the option of touch panel and LCD to carry out a test in search of possible errors. It is the best way to get out of doubt and know if the problem is related to hardware or if we are facing a software problem that we can solve ourselves.
Return to factory settings
When nothing works, the best solution is to return the phone to its original state, which in most cases eliminates screen problems at a stroke. To do this, we will have to follow the following steps, not without first having saved our data, since everything installed in the system will be removed since we started it for the first time.
- With the phone frozen press the button to turn on and turn down the volume at the same time.
- When the realme logo appears we release both buttons.
- We select the English language.
- With the volume keys we place ourselves in the “Wipe Data” option.
- With the power button we confirm.
- We place ourselves on “Format Data” and accept.
