I've got an ZTE Open C with the Firefox OS. My problem is as such:

At random points the screen starts flickering when I try to unlock the screen, making it impossible to see or do basically anything. Then, at another random point it stops and goes back to normal as if nothing has happened.

What is causing this problem and what can I do to solve it??

I reset my device and it helped, for about one day and a half. I did also notice that the flickering didn't seem to occur when I didn't have my SIM-card insterted, don't know if that's just a coincidence?

Hi aguar37, Thank you for your question. There is an animation when the device is unlocked.

If this continues I would recommend filing a bug with the description of the steps you took and the type of card you are using.

Yes, there is an animation when the device is unlocked. I think I know the difference between an animation and an unormally flickering screen.

I've submitted a bugreport.
