I have a cheap LYF phone which has a strange issue. When I switch on the phone and try to open the lock screen - it flickers to the wallpaper, then goes blank and couple of seconds later relocks the screen. And it repeats the cycle over and over again, automatically. Screen turns on, it goes to the app drawer, screen flickers, goes blank and relocks the screen.

Even the top half of the screen which shows network connectivity flickers between showing no sim, then no connectivity, back to no sim. It is also losing battery at a rapid rate because of these changes. It doesn't even charge when the phone is on. Charging while the phone is switched off works fine.

I made a video about it, apologies for the huge background noise:

I think it's a problem of your phone's system ui.
