Screen flickering is cuzd by an application common to all oF us!. Probably Whatsapp(not sure). I factory reset my fone yesterday, and there was no flicker. I have noticed each time I factory reset my fone either on Indian rom or naija rom no screen flicker happens.
But I noticed when I loaded some apps, no flicker still
But when I loaded a group of app that contains, Telegram, Whatsapp, skype... Yh the Screen flickering started.

As I have mentioned before, Screen flickering/blicking is a software bug, its not that your Screen is faulty.
Don't go and give your Phone to someone that will spoil it cuz u think your phone has screen issue.

M5 users Attention please. Over-heating can be minimized!.
Yes, I mean it. We dont have the knowledge that we over-Load our RAM with "Running Apps", "Background Running Apps". In worst case some apps like Facebook and Google only take much ram and also Over-clock the CPU cause lot Of Heating and draining battery, some of us even leave our game running background and still you are complaining?.
Gionee provided a perfect tool that comes with our Phone. Either rooted or Not. This app has the whole System access.
Yes am talking about "System Manager -Eco Mode".
Some of us dunno how to use it.
Turn it ON and add few apps that are needed by you to run 24/7 example Whatsapp. Look at my image below.
With those few apps in whitelist, all other apps stop running in the background exactly 2-5min when I close them releasing enough space, there by not causing overheating(except you are in a hot temp location).
Remove all other junk apps like Du cleaner n battery saver nd greenify all of those can not work like an inbuilt OEM app.
I experience overheating something, yh that is when am playing my favorite game ( Mortal Kombat X). If you know that game, its a badass Graphics game so it needs more to process by the Phone which ll result in heating.

Pump Express technology.
That's why it charges very fast

Causes might be 1. Low voltage( low voltage brings about High current and this execessive current flows around appliance looking for escape there by causing over-heating) the voltage supply might not be enough
Just like in my area, Power Supply from Nepa ranges from 180-195v against 220v. ( though ur charger rating is 100-220v) but am telling you, a low voltage produces execessive current that is not needed.

2. Climatic condition around us too matters. Its not only you that have skin to know when its hot nd when its cold. Those Phones too does. Infact those in Makurdi Benue State doesn't complain cuz dey are used to it. Every phone is always hot when charging over there. grin

bro wit due respect i will disagree wit u on de aspects of low current
bt i guess ur rite abt de climate conditions cos wen am in office wit full air conditions is doesn't heat bt am out it will heat up even wit 3g browsing
den some one said up dey dat it becos of de fast charge system dat makes it hot too

. Bro, correct that part.
It's high voltage that generates excessive current flow which increases the Wattage then if it's more than what the phone can take in, d remaining one will be dump out as heat which will make your phone hot and can spoil your cord by causing it not to fast charge again.

See theoretically: V=IR, I=V/R, having R to be constant, increase Voltage and see what happens.

Thanks.

You are aswell right bro. But thats only theoretically!

But in practice(reality), resistance of a conductor is lesser than 1 (you can use your multi meter to measure it if you doubt) and if resistance is lesser, re-work your ohms law and see for yourself.


But here am talking about electrical losses that causes this over-heating on the mobile devices it more
calculation than just ohms law.

screen flickering ia not an app problem.. its a problem with amoled display screens.. it occurs whn your pixels and ur gpu dont relate well.. it can be corrected onky if you increase d bright very high and also using gravity box to make d brightness static.. you dont c such problem in IPS screens like xiaomi devices etc..

You didn't ask them if/when andriod 6.0 will be available for M5. Am soo hating Gionee now, how can they upgrade M5mini and leave M5 out. Who does that. I hate not receiving Manufacturers support again after buying there products.
