Just received my tf700t and updated to the new firmware. I noticed that when switching from any screen back to home screen and even throughout watching movies on my tablet, the screen brightness constantly adjusts even with automatic brightness turned off. Its pretty annoying esp. while watching movies. Is there a solution to this problem?
Can't say I have noticed that, and I've used it both with automatic brightness on and off. Maybe try a factory reset?

I noticed the same thing - I believe it's the LED backlight adjusting when you go from bright-to-dim and dim-to-bright screens. It is annoying though. I'm assuming that I'll just get used to it (I just got my TF700 yesterday)...

So your saying that taking off the auto and setting it to the brightest setting and it still adjusts by itself.

Yes, I have noticed it as well. Doesn't bother me, though -- I'd rather have the system tweak itself for brightness than just picking a brightness off-hand and sticking to it.
I've previously owned the tf101 and never had anything like this happen. I use my tf700t at about 30-40% ips, and it constantly adjusts. I haven't tried it at full brightness, but it still is weird that it would keep adjusting even throughout watching movies. It almost like 3 or 4 subtle brightness changes when going from say the apps screen back to the home menu (on default wallpaper). I went through all my settings and googled it without success, so I'm figuring that people either don't notice or just aren't bothered by it. It's driving me crazy though
I noticed this...and thought I was going crazy. Thanks for confirming it's not just me and yes it drives me nuts. Hopefully there comes out a way to stop it.
Auto brightness was way too dim for me. So I've disabled it and set the brightness myself.

What I'm talking about has nothing to do with auto brightness. When it's turned off, there seems to be some type of secondary auto brightness that you have no control over because it constantly adjusts when switching through certain apps/screens and playing movies. Look closely at the screen and you should see it. I'm glad I'm not alone as a few others have confirmed this discovery as well. I don't understand the point in setting your own brightness when the tablet will still adjust itself with auto shut off. I hope a fix of some sort will come soon.
I have not noticed any change in brightness levels with auto brightness turned off.
It reminds me a bit of the brightness/contrast adaptation my SGS2 does -- only there it can be toggled under the display settings, whereas on the TF700 you're just stuck with it.
I don't think that the screen is actually changing brightness - just that the backlight is adjusting as needed depending on how much bright/dim colors are on the screen...
What's strange is that if I enable auto-brightness (which works great in the bright office), that effect seems to go away... Very strange...
I'm assuming that it's a battery-saving thing, but I'm really not sure...

I actually watched this happen (without auto brightness on) without transitioning to a new screen while scrolling past a dark image on a light forum thread. I think it's a tegra 3 thing. I know I read about t3 dynamically adjusting the backlight during video playback and saving more energy in the process than the t3 soc itself consumes during playback.
I've been using mine on power save mode so far. I'm betting the brightness changes would be more fluid and less noticeable at higher speeds.
Read your user manuals. It discusses the feature in its entirety.:good:

So that's probably your answer,
You running on maximum power saving mode. What you expect?
You asking tablet to save all power it can, and that's exactly what's it's doing.
Of course there's a chance of defect, hardware it software. But that could only be tested on a group of other tablets using same settings, to try to recreate what you describing.

I've noticed the same, as well as a few other users, we actually had a (sub)thread about this a few days ago here.
This is in fact very similar (or equal) to dynamic contrast we all know from LCD screens. Unfortunately I do not know the solution, but setting the brightness to as low as I need in any given lighting conditions helps.

Is it just me or does the auto-brightness seem to only stay at a certain brightness and never change? On my previous phone, usually when I had auto-brightness enabled, whenever I walked into a dark room, my brightness would lower right away but on this phone, no matter where I go, the brightness seems to always be the same with auto-brightness on. The brightness does not change, even when I walk out with the sun out..
Can anybody confirm this please, I'm thinking of exchanging this unit as it might be defective...
Sent from my LG-P999
Might be your phone. In my moderately-lit office, I can definitely see the screen brightness change when I focus a flashlight on the sensor and then take it away. It's not a huge difference, but definitely observable.
Do you use a case? Is the case blocking the light sensor?
I do not use a case. I have also tried blocking the sensor with my fingers and the brightness just seems to always stay the same... also when I use the power control widget to change brightness and set it to auto-brightness it immediately jumps to that same particular brightness level that I've been stating

The change is definitely less noticeable on this phone than my Nexus One, but is there.
I just got the G2x and it does the same for me. It's range of brightness seems to be 20-30% and that's it. I had this problem with stock gingerbread, so I tried rooting and installing CM7, but same problem. So I got it set to manual 10/40/100 on my power control.
My friend said his original droid did this for quite a while until a software update came along a few months later. Maybe we just have to wait till there's a software update to fix it?
Yes, it's borked, always has been.
Mine is broken too. Same happens to me.
Sent from my LG-P999 using XDA Premium App
Same here. It has never worked, as far as I can remember. Depending on where the setting happens to be left at, my battery runs out in just a few hours, or I cannot use it in the car.
Aside: I switched to an original Droid from an iPhone 3G, then onto a G2X. My next phone is going to be an iPhone -- and I'm not coming back to Android until Google figures things out. Android is nice, but I hate being out of date after a couple of months, and having to install unsupported, hacky, half-broken user-built ROMs to stay current with the state-of-the-art functionality.
I don't think it's been usable (auto-brightness) on any Android device I've owned. Typically, in a home setting, it simply sets the brightness to the lowest setting, which is way too dim. Why can't they implement a "customizable" auto-brightness so that it's actually usable???
Does anyone else have any better luck with Auto-brightness on Android devices??
Actually, I *do* have one Android device where it works properly - my HTC EVO V 4G.
Yes, I know there are apps in the Market but they always seems overly-complicated. I just want a simple brightness slider that can adjust the auto-brightness, like on iOS devices (was trying to avoid mentioning that, but it's the best way to describe what I'm looking for).
Anyone know of a way to customize the auto-brightness level without a 3rd party app?
Thanks for listening while I vent!

In the case of the TF700 I found that switching on the Super IPS+ while in auto brightness mode makes it usable. I totally agree with your point, adjustable would be nice. The TF700 is the worst I've seen. Even in fairly brightly lit rooms mine turns the brightness all the way down.
The only device I have been able to leave autobrightness on is with the Galaxy Nexus. However, I am noticing constant adjustments in brightness on the Infinity, even with autobrightness turned off. Are you guys experiencing the same thing?

Yeah, it's actually just the dynamic contrast adjusting the backlight levels depending on how much white is on the screen, etc... No way to avoid that yet...

You must have better luck than I - I found myself having to constantly add new "levels" to make the brightness adjust properly for the current lighting - it was never as automatic as I had assumed it would be.... THen i had issues where certain apps wouldn't install anymore and had to enable a special option to let me install apps again, etc - again, just not as simple as I had hoped...
Maybe I'll give it another shot... Maybe it's better than it used to be...

Man, my sensor must be on steroids. I'm going thru theze new threads and am wondering if I've got the same pad.. I went into my settings and changed to"auto" but still get good resolution contrast and readability.

My auto-brightness works great in bright envs. But at home in normal lighting, it sets the brightness all the way down (my TF101 did the same thing so I highly doubt it's a bad light sensor). It's un-usable. Of course, I want more - let me adjust it!
Sent from my ASUS Transformer Pad TF700T using Tapatalk 2
Lux and I bet there are other apps for this, has a debug mode that outputs what the sensor-api returns.
So get there or get such an app and try if the sensor readings are somewhat reasonable.
That method showed me my sensor has also a little problems with darker surroundings.
Sometimes it will get stuck at a low leven like 4 lux and not go down all the way to zero.

Hi guys,
So I just got my forth Infinity Everything seems to be OK this time so I can finally play with it There is one thing I didn't notice in the last three tabs, but it is because I have never used it in dark conditions so far. Anyway I just noticed that if my brigthness is set to 10-30% (no auto mode) and if I run some application with dark background (like Gallery, YouTube or some screens of Google Play) it is visible (but you need to pay attention) that screen gets dimmed a little and if I return to homescreen it is noticable that screen get's brighter after some time. I think it won''t be visible, but there is some little lag of adjusting the brightness. If I reduce the brightness maximally to the left it is not visible, also if I move it to >80% it is also not visible. If I run app with white background (like GMail or Internet) there is no such issue. Is it normal ? It is not big issue, but I'm praying I don't have to send it for replacement once again I checked it both on normal and balanced mode while running on battery. I have to check if there is difference if I'm plugged into AC power, but I don't have such issue on my HTC Sensation.
Sounds like the same issue I'm experiencing.

Hi CeeJayII,

I'll watch netflix then press the home button, the screen stays at video brightness (darker) for a second then restores back to the original setting.

In my case I can't tell how much it has dropped, because looking at the brigthness level in statusbar it seems to be the same, but it is still visible that the brightness has been reduced/increased. In my case it is definitely not reduced/increased by 15%, I would say it is something like 2-5%. Besides that in my case everything is OK if my brightess level is 0% or more than 80%. But in your case it seems to be similar, because you are watching netflix (dark background) and when you go to homescreen the brightness is restored. Maybe it is some power-saving method to prolonge our battery lifes ? Anyone else can confirm the issue ?
Well I may have overstated, when brightness is at zero there is quite a drop. The higher the brightness, the less noticeable it is. It doesn't change on the brightness slider for me either, just seems to dim a little. I think it is the same issue. I'm guessing it is normal.
OK, so it seems to be the same issue. Let's wait for other user to reply if they observe the same thing.
This sounds like the SmartDimmer (which is different than auto-brightness - it's kinda like dynamic contrast). You can disable it if you are rooted.

What's really strange is that I just picked up a Nexus 7 and the "SmartDimmer" is barely even noticeable on the Nexus 7, which is where that tweak originally came from (over in the Nexus 7 forums)!?
The issue is *way* more noticeable on the TF700 (I probably would have never even noticed the issue on the Nexus 7) - almost like there is some sort of bug in the TF700 firmware as it relates to the SmartDimmer. It drove me *crazy* on the TF700...
Anyway, it's well worth rooting to get rid of the constant flickering!
EDIT: By the way, the search function in the Tapatalk app is next to useless... Unless someone knows something that I don't - for example, is it even possible to limit the search to a particular forum/subforum in tapatalk?

That's strange, as they're both IPS and manufactured by ASUS (the Infinity with some added brightness if used), it'd be nice to compare the config files you mentioned in your posts on both devices, along with smartdimmer settings in the plaintext files.
Just a thought, but as there are more pixels on the Infinity - is it actually faster on the N7?

It seems to me that Samsung has screwed up the screen calibration inadvertently in their cluster-F of an OS. The S4 shows black clipping in images, gamma test charts, and videos, but I found some remnants of a more capable screen here!
http://youtu.be/V7T4rEQt27o
Seriously Samsung, don't give a crap if it gives somewhat better battery life, FIX THE DAMN THING! What's the point of releasing an FHD phone and having that black clipping and blue tint? At least leave an option to switch it on and off.
Will be fixed with custom kernels as with S3/Note 2, hopefully.
Noticed this last night while multitasking.
Kind of annoying, I do think its software related because my SystemUI crashed at one point, among other things, and it stopped happening.

Correct. Whereas before going from one screen to the other would cause a momentary jump in brightness, then a quick lowering of brightness by a noticeable but nearly insignificant degree - post a ton of errors/crashes, it stopped happening.
At one point the phone jumped a few notches in brightness (without my touching anything). And from then on out, all my screen swaps from light/dark, dark/light, different apps stopped having that ever-so-slight adjustment.
So it *seems* like it is an adjustment made on-the-fly of sorts, and I would really love to just be able to disable it...
This was a major problem in the OG Note and was never fixed.
Samsung needs to fix their screen because it's terrible compared to other phones. I can barely see the screen in daylight when I'm outside.
As an experienced Android and iPhone user, this phone is the biggest disappointment of my life. The lag is horrible and there are so many annoyances like the screen brightness changing all of a sudden (with auto brightness off). We need CM10

I can confirm that this happens in Netflix as well. If you pause on a scene with clipping, and hold down the menu button, the clipping goes away or atleast improves substantially, right before the Netflix app fades away.
There definitely seems to be something crippling the gamma across the OS
Is it me or am I the only one happy with the screen? It's not that bad in daylight as long as you bump up the brightness and you can adjust the color mode on the screen so it mimics the HTC One color saturation.
Also I don't notice any clipping, fault screen perhaps?
I leave auto brightness on all day I live in sunny Miami Florida and I see my phone perfectly outside. I never have any jump of brightness but in the settings menu I do get a little bit of this blue smearing and whites go a little darker but its minor not enough to make you annoyed. I don't know but I'm having no problems with my phone and I love it

Go to the Play Store and watch the Trailer for Django Unchained.....no clipping? Clipping is present on every AMOLED, just to different degrees
As far as is my understanding, either the screen smears on grey on black, or you have reddish blacks. Some might not notice it or care really

The smearing can be reduced by using the appear app Scream Adjuster and setting red green and blue to + 5 to +10 depending on how badly it smears.
Yea it sucks. But an update can easily address this issue
can someone give me a specific example of where they're having problems?
I just ran the black/white/APL clipping patterns from AVSHD-709. Movie, Photo, and Standard all show no problems. Dynamic however, crushes blacks. Those who are having issues, are you all running Dynamic screen mode?
edit: upon further inspection, it would appear that 17 and 18 get clipped in movie/photo/standard. It's not perfect, and that's all this guy seems to be demonstrating, but I can't imagine a situation where any of you could be legitimately noticing it. It's well below 10% luminance. Just leaning back in your computer chair can clip that many shades of black or more on an LCD monitor. Just as an example; this would not show up on a calibration report, even if gamma was done in 5% steps instead of the typical 10%.
If any of you are really seeing crushed blacks, I would bet that you're using dynamic mode.

Then you need to exchange your phone. I got the 32GB on the 10th and installed the Titanium backup setup from my GS3 and the S4 destroys it in every way. Absolutely no lag, much better battery life, more natural screen saturation, although still oversaturated on the greens. I havent changed the default setting for the screen, which was set on adapt. I am a full time video editor and I just watched the Django trailer off the play store and it was flawless, blacks were crisp, no pixellation or overcrushed blacks and the brightness did not pulsate with changes in luminance from scene to scene. With auto brightness on in a dark room or fully lit room.
I do remember when I got the S3 with ICS stock how terrible the autobrightness was and terribly laggy camera was but after wither the JB update or custom ROMs, all that went away. But none of that exists on this 32GB one I have, so if you applied the latest update and you have the same probs then def get an exchange.
the black clipping is a known issue, and if you're still complaining about lag, swap your phone as everyone who's done that hasn't had any since. as for random brightness changes, noone's mentioned them since the ota
Got rid of the lag by switching launcher to nova and froze a lot of **** from AT&T and Samsung. It hasn't freeze ever since.
The smearing is present but only in the settings menu when I scroll up/down. Not a big deal but I hope it gets fixed.
Besides that the screen is gorgeous and have no complaints. Excellent battery life.

It's difficult for me to determine whether it's something intentionally done by the software to limit the screen brightness or a defect. If it's the latter and you can still exchange or at least attempt a warranty swap through a carrier, it maybe something to look worthwhile to look at.
Sent from my SM-N986U using Tapatalk
If you're saying that the Note 20 Ultra isn't as bright as previous Samsung phones I would concur!
I have an S10+ and Note 20 Ultra, and I don't know what brightness "problem" is people talking about. They're almost identical. You know that you can adjust brightness to your taste, even in auto, right? By default is dimmer because of energy saving stuff, but you can move the slider up...
I have a note 10+ I still daily, definitely dimmer than my n20u, but that sounds like software trying to adjust for some reason.
Samsung is buggy, will always be buggy I feel like.

but when you go no outside but to room with much more lite the screen will be more strong
its like the auto brightness even when off still doing somthing to keep the screen
It may be to protect your eyes or something but mine does this as well.
Auto Brightness - Off
Manually set brightness to highest point
Then if you go from a dim room to sunlight the screen will brighten up even with auto brightness off so you can see it under sunlight.
Anyone manage to get this issue resolved? When the phone get hot, the screen dim to the extend u cannot see clearly under the bright hot sun. Using Samsung superb chip. Really lots of issue with note 20 ultra. Samsung taking customer for granted now!

When the screen is too bright it heats up then dims? Sounds like well thought out safety process implemented by samsung for people like you. ?

That is a big problem. I am just using Chrome and not playing games. Why would it heat up so freaking fast!

Chrome? I stopped using that resources hungry POS browser years ago. I advice you do the same.

Works well on all my phones, but our individual experience with chrome doesn't add much to the fact that Samsung's software might be limiting the user experience, which it is, more so than other manufacturers.
After all, we should be the ones to dictate what we want to use for web browser or any other app and not have to change it because samsung has buggy software managing it's hardware. Other manufacturers have it down, imy currently loving my xperia mark 2 and the way it's optimized.
