      steph, 25 Feb 2018Lately I am receiving the following message when attempting to reply to an email. ie message "... moreI don't have the problem but I looked around, it seems that there's something wrong with Android Web Viewer's last update, so try to go to settings - apps - app manager - Android System WebView, and disable it. Or wait until Google releases an update for it, I guess. Hope this helps.

I have all the latest updates, but the first time I noticed it was when the winter came and I just came home with a cold phone. Before that, it would only flicker at really low brightness that I wasn't even using. For example, if it warms up the problem is not so big, so I assume it has something to do with the weather. Maybe I'm wrong, but we'll see when the winter goes away.

A lot of people report the same problem, I've seen conversations about it, and tried some advice, but nothing worked. So I'm just using higher brightness during the day and EyeFilter for the evening (similar to Flux, Screen Filter, Red Moon, Blue Light Filter, etc).

                  I've taken my entire family of 4 phones to S5s since I left Sprint and went to T-Mobile.

                  I chose these because the S6, (which was the phone at the time) had a permanent battery that couldn't be changed, and a wrap around screen that couldn't be protected. My wife's S5 is on it's third battery and they only cost 7 bucks factory at Amazon. She uses it for everything. Mine is still on it's first battery because I don't.

                  They are great phones and the only "improvement" with the new phones is in the camera sections that the S5 already had. And a wrap around screen that nothing can protect.

                  I have 4 of these running since the S6, all referbs, and we've only broken one. I keep two extras. The last one I bought was 123 bucks and preinstalled with Marshmallow. Nice.

                      Bought it end of April last year, still no problems. It was 2 years old but with a new battery. Only the screen flickers at very low brightness when it's cold, but I can live with that. Apart from that, it's as good as new. More than 130 apps inside, no problem. I just clean it sometimes and don't use heavy apps or battery-heating games, but I do use it a lot. I can't believe it's already 10 months.
