Okay, anyone with a TF101 have issues when attached to the keyboard that has the Brightness display repeatly popping up or the tablet just increasing brightness by itself?
I have the newest firmware (just release a couple of days ago) and have the same issue.
If you increase/decrease the brightness and the box you see in the middle of the screen which shows you brightness setting as you change it .. this is the box i'm talking about. It only appears with the keyboard attached and it shows up repeatedly (increasing the brightness or if at highest setting, just popping up) and stays for 1 to 2 secs then disappears again.
I've looked around, but I haven't seen anyone else with this issue and not sure if its just me (or maybe I don't have the proper search string to find it).
Edit: I sent the tablet in a while ago (forgot to update this thread) but they couldn't find anything wrong with it. After I got it back, it was still have this issue though now on both CM10 and TeamEOS it seems to be resolved somehow. Kinda strange.

Hello guys,
I've just received my TC and couldn't wait to set it up and install all applications I need.
During this procedure I recognized that the screen flickers whenever there is activity on screen.
Doesn't matter if the device is looking for WLAN or GSM Network, filling up a progressbar during restore of my SMS Messages with PPC PIM Backup or just navigating around in TomTom.
Found out that flickering stops if I hide the progress-bar filling application by opening the Programs-tab in startmenu and if the device is idle and nothing happens on screen (no animation or screen change) it wouldn't flicker at all.
This flicker-thing is quite annoying. Anyone else got that?
Maybe it is an effect of the video-driver problem. Don't know.
Maybe the device is just "broken" in some way and I have to return it to my dealer.
EDIT: Just saw that the screen even flickers slightly when the cursor is blinking in the SMS-Editor
Never seen this problem on my TC. Had it for nearly 2 months. I would return it and get a new one.
OK, now I'm quite sure that it is a device error.
Woke up this morning and the flicker-effect has gone.
The I "navigated" to work (just for fun). And when I arrived (50 Minutes est.) the flicker was back again. Seems to happen when the device works hard for a couple of minutes.
Anyway, I'll stop investigation and send it back to the dealer.
BTW: Thanks for the comment !
TOUCH HD PHONE
Firstly let me say this:...... I have a phone that has had to go back once because of a weird problem - so it might be "one of those phones " (the prob WAS fixed by a new board from HTC but thats another story !)
Here's the prob. Today when I was typing a text the back light kept adjusting up and down. This has NOT happened before So I did some tests:
1) Its to do with the autoadjust feature (not a prob when its OFF)
2) All is OK UNTIL you start to type this is how I spotted it typing a text. The backlight was going up and down - I thought my eyes were going!!!
ATTEMPTED RESOLUTION:
Fristly I did a soft reset......(prob still the same)
I down loaded LUMOS, which shows actual numbers for the light sensor,
Here's what I found......
It moves up and down a bit then settles, in a dark area its on say 3 or 0 but when I type on the screen it goes up and down like a yoyo ! ie 3,79,120,3,0 if I stop typing it settles on 3 or 0. AND THAT IN A NUT SHELL IS I "THINK" THE PROB !
"The light sensor seems to be affected by typing."
I never noticed this before so this may be a fault.
LUMOS seems to cope slightly better than win software with this and I can get around this by turning the sensor off, but if its faulty BACK it GOES....(AGAIN)
The last prob did my head in. I love this phone but I'm not sure if I got a touchy one !(pardon the pun)!
ANY HELP/THOUGHTS VERY GRATEFULLY ACCEPTED
Update - CAUSE
I have found out the cause !
It happens when screen taps (sound) is turned on and is FINEwhen it is off. I only tuned this on last week !
SO what they heck this is some software bug perhaps - any thoughts ?
Thanks so much !
Hi Simon,
Ive never noticed that, because i dont have the soft keyboard sounds on, too annoying and i never have the auto adjust on either, i like it bright all the time..... you didnt say, but are u on stock rom?
Just got my GNote today. I've had a Thinkpad Tablet for almost a year, and let's just say the GNote is already making me much happier.
I opened it and applied the firmware update. I've been playing around, and have found one annoying bug: Whenever I open or select S-Note the screen changes to maximum brightness. It doesn't matter whether I am opening the app from initial, or just switching back to an open S-Note through the open task selector. The screen goes to full brightness.
But, the settings bar for brightness does not change. When I pull up the menu by tapping the clock, the brightness bar will still say it is at the lowest brightness setting. When I touch the stylus to the slider at the lowest brightness setting, the screen immediately dims.
I've tried turning "Auto" brightness on and off, and have also looked for some obscure setting in S-Note. No luck.
Anyone else having this issue, or have a solution? It sounds minor, but when working in a dim room its a real shock to the eyes every single time I open S-Note.
Thanks,
JCHP
I'm not seeing that issue running S Note here and did the update earlier today but it was through Kies with a 1GB+ file instead of over-the-air ~50MB or so file.
Update: Ok, I see the issue now when you open a note within S Note.
I noticed this also. Like if i have browser on. Then do multiscreen and choose s note, the brightness will increase dramatically. Nothing major. Just noticed that also.

Weird. This is not happening to me either. Try going into Applications and clearing S Note data and cache then reboot.

The brightness I creases after you go into s note and choose a note. If i close the note or multiscreen, the brightness goes back to how I set it. You won't see the slider change. The brightness just increases on its own at that time.
I do have the latest update Installed.
I tried it and I also got the same result. Although, the brightness change occurs only when opening a note. In the S-Note "homescreen", where you choose which note you want, the brightness is the same as the requested setting I put.

Yes-- this is my issue exactly.
The slider is what makes me think this is a bug and not a feature: It doesn't change, although the brightness does. But, if I tap the slider at the point where it is, then the screen will dim to my preferred level, and I can work in the note at that dimmed brightness... until I switch to another app and come back, at which point the brightness again changes.
Its only an issue in dim lighting. I can see me making notes in my bed at night and swearing every time the screen suddenly brightens...
I've encountered the same thing. The update must have screwed something up.

There is no change in brightness on mine when I open or close S Note.
Having the same issue
I am having the same issue as well. Has anyone called Samsung customer service or reported this issue? This is extremely annoying. It started after the update. It was working just fine before.
I am having a similar issues with my S3. I will unlock my phone and sometimes I find the screen is really bright. I go into my settings and look at the brightness slider and it's set at 60%. As soon as I tap the brightness slider and my screen re dims back to the correct brightness. Had me thinking weather or not this is a hardware or software issue.
I am 90% sure it's software in my case Still annoying.
have the same issue. In meetings it turns up and I have to waste my battery, no time to change the slider.
This issue reminds of my problems with the my Lenovo TPT when in "always on" mode.
They fixed it, but i took until the 3th update...
Tell Samsung early enough so they may fix it soon, I know how annoying and painful it can get at night, I really disliked this issue.
Same issue. Any solution.?

same issue here , i have N8000 and when I bought it comes with Germany rom but without this bug, when i Change it to the Offical United Arab Emarits i have this bug I tried to find any soulation but no way it really annoying ...... so anybody !!!!!
really annoying
Just bought the tablet today and noticed the exact issue. I also noticed the same issue and what I did to fix the problem was to select the system tray (bottom right) and remove the auto checkbox and keep the brightness to full.
Hope that helps!
same thing. s note goes to maximum brightness (same with the camera app. too). a bit annoying but still in alive =) hopefully they fix both of them.
Reported it to samsung and...
Well I complained to Samsung about this and they told me it sounded like a bad installation of the firmware, which i dont really think its the case because I've had this bug since I bought it and because many people have it too. Anyways they told me to reset to factory settings and if the problem was still there to send the tablet to some address... but I dont really want to reset factory settings because i would lose all my app data and Im not rooted as to just make a backup with Titanium...
anyway just putting out there if someone is brave enough to reset to factory settings (maybe someone who just bought it) and tell us what happens I would be grateful
Note Pro
Same issue here on note pro 12.2. Really annoying. Anybody solve this problem?
Hello!
My oneplus one is having this issue for a while now, When I plug it in and lock the device, there is a 60~70% chance that the display stays on but its just blank, I have to unlock it and lock it again to fix it.
Recently this also started happening when it was not charging and the screen would often stay on causing massive battery drain :/
This happens on every single rom all the way from CM11S up to CM13 and also oxygen os,...
Does anyone know what the problem is?
Thanks,
Noahvt
I have the same problem since I can remember, also looking for an answer.
I have a similar issue. Sometimes the screen stays on, but is dimmed. A simple double press of the power button resolves it (turn on full, turn off screen) but its mildly irritating. I have only noticed it since being on sultanxdas cm12 ROM. I had an issue with a notification LED app not working since a recent ROM update so uninstalled it. Maybe the issue was related to that app as I cant remember the issue occurring since I uninstalled it a few days ago.
Hey all! I recently updated from Android 10 to Android 11 OOS 11.0.2.2 and I have a strange issue I didn't have before. On grey/blue backgrounds, the screen dims and changes color a little bit after not touching it for 4-5 seconds. I already submitted a bug report but I just wanted to see if others are having this issue. I do have a T Mobile device that's been converted to global, but again this issue wasn't present before. I can't report as to whether the issue happened on OOS updates previous because I just updated and got 11.0.2.2. I've also linked a short video here showing the issue. If you guys have any input at all, it's appreciated!
I may be having a similar issue. I am trying to view your video to see if it is the same problem. I have noticed that my color turns warm, as if the blue light filter was activated. It normally happens when I am trying to type in a field. In most situations, it happens when there is a lot of white being displayed.
I did not pay attention to the browser that I was using. It may be a Chrome issue, but that is only if we are experiencing the same thing.
Ok, so we are talking about two different things. But, your dim is very subtle, at lease as far as the camera is concerned. Does mine do the same thing? No idea. I probably never noticed.
However, are you using Adaptive Brightness or manual brightness? In my experience, OOS 11 came with a LOT of bugs. I've been getting screen orientation problems as of late, and it would lock my screen sideways depending on what I am doing. I do not use auto rotate, and I am certain that I didn't press the rotation button in the bottom right corner. Even if it showed up, it shouldn't have, as I was using my phone in portrait mode every time that bug showed up.
TL;DR: OOS 11 - YMMV.

So I have the same thing with the screen going super warm on white backgrounds too, primarily on web browsers. With the other issue it only happens with the brightness between 30-70% or so and the screen gets darker and the gamut seems to get a tad cooler but I've chalked these up to separate issues. No phone is without faults but it seems like Oneplus releases software without testing it at all.
Edit: I noticed the yellowing on Chrome, and nowhere else on the phone. Samsung internet does have the same issue
Yes, I have a slew of issues with Android 11. My problem is the fact that I like it a lot more than A10 w/OOS, sooo....I have no option but to tolerate them for the moment.
