Boot Samsung Galaxy in Safe Mode

We would try to find out if some third party apps are causing the glitch. To do that, we need to boot the Galaxy A8 Plus screen flickering device in safe mode, under which all the third party apps are disabled.

  • Power off the device
  • Press and hold the power button until you see the Samsung logo
  • Release the power button and hold down the volume down button until the phone boots up.
  • You will see safe mode in the left corner of the screen.
    Now that the device is in safe mode, you can check if the flickering appears or not. If it stops then the culprit is one of the third party apps installed.
  • Reset the suspected apps
    Go to settings, navigate to apps and choose the app, click on storage, clear cache and clear data.
  • If the screen still flickers after resetting the suspected app, uninstall the apps.

Wipe The Cache Partition of Samsung Galaxy

Some users find the Samsung Galaxy A8 or Galaxy A8 Plus screen flickering gone after wiping the cache partition under Recovery Mode.

  • Power off your Samsung Galaxy device
  • Press and hold the power + volume up + Bixby buttons until an Android logo appears.
  • The recovery mode menu would appear afterward
  • Press the volume up button to navigate and choose wipe cache partition and press the power button to confirm
  • After the cached data is wiped, choose reboot system now.

If this method doesn’t rectify the screen glitch, then a hard reset of your device is in order.
