Hi, I am new to XDA, and this is my first post.
About a month ago, I grabbed my One XL in Hong Kong. Loved the phone very much but in the past several days, I noticed that the screen brightness seems to change with the background color. When the background changes from "mostly black/dark color" to "mostly white/light color", like when switching from appdrawer with black background to light-colored homescreen (ex., the "serene" desktop), the screen backlight will gradually (within about 1 sec. ) turn brighter. This is quite obvious if I lower the brightness level (I set it to about 10%), and at 50% the issue is barely noticeable. This looks like a battery saving method, but I'm not sure. I would like to ask if this is normal, or is there by any chance a way to turn this off? Because it is indeed very annoying to me. Currently using ViperXL 1.2.0 rom and Beast kernel. Thanks for your help!
P.S. The auto brightness is always turned off.

I just flashed the final beta of CM7 to my triumph, and idk if everybody is having this problem my soft keys are flashing/flickering when i move the phone. It's not physically they are flickering because of the way the light reaches your eyes.
No way to explain it really, when you hold the phone still it's good.
I believe this is because the soft keys brightness is not high enough.
Anybody find a way to fix this,
Thankss in advance.//
I have he same thing, but not sure how to fix it.
It's a 'feature' to reduce the brightness on the softkey LEDs. By default they're turned on full brightness, and it can have light leaks that affect a dark screen on some people's phones. You can just turn it off with an app like 'adjbrightness', 'keyboard backlight control', or in CM settings - display - auto backlight - use custom & edit other levels.

If you could explain a little more of what to change on that screen it would be much appreciated. There are so many values to change that it is a bit overwhelming to me.
In the "Edit other levels", the left column is what the light sensor readings are for a certain light level, the next column is the display backlight that should be used in those situations, the right most column is what brightness the bottom capacitive buttons should be at. Set it to 0 to be off, 255 for max. Try some different values to see what suits you.
Awesome! Thank you!
Hi,
I am new to Android and just got a LG P769 L9 android phone from Tmobile.
The phone is great and running ICS 4.0.4. One thing that is troublesome is the brightness control and it does not have auto brightness like the Samsung phones. There is a list of quick toggle buttons on the power control tool on top of the notification pull down screen. It can quickly cycle through 3 levels: dim (0%), medium (50%), and full (100%).
Dim is great at night in dim area, but medium and full are just too bright except I am under direct sun light.
Is there anything I can use to change the default brightness level, say the medium to 25% or have a new level created for 25%?
Thanks in advance for your advice.
Hello guys, I have the pixel 3 since 3 days now and I noticed a day later that my screen isn't showing off the same colors from the top to the bottom. On top it's more vibrant and more warmish but on the bottom at the half of the screen it's turning in some red and it's persistent on every brightness. The best I can show it to you when I turn nightlight on and turn the brightness down to maybe 10-20% then u see it clearly. Did anyone else noticed it? Or is it just on me? thanks in advance
Hi - did you check to see if the app is perhaps transparent and reflecting your wallpaper? What app are we looking at in your example? Do you experience the same look in Chrome?
I asked the same question on r/oneplus.
So I've bought a OP 7 Pro just 1 month ago and I'm really paranoid about burn in.
I searched a lot about amoled technology and from what i read i assumed screen burn in it's not something recoverable. And I took all the security measures to not make it happen. Auto-brightness, screen timeout to 30s, AOD turned off, and i never leave a static image on my phone.
Today I noticed that when i plugged my phone and the colors screensaver started, the fingerprint icon left a visible mark like it was burned in. But it lasted only a couple seconds and then it disappeared. Same thing happens with the signal icon on the status bar.
So, is that screen burn in? Or it's just image retention? And why is it recovering? Should I worry about it becoming permanent? I'm not even enjoying the phone anymore :c
Sorry for my english and thank you
Not that big of a deal. Especially with screen technology these days. Walk into your local carrier store, or Best Buy, look at an old phone that has an amoled screen and that's left on all the time for display. That's burn in. When the image stays there after a long period of time and doesn't disappear when the screen is turned off and on. When I had my S8 and S9, it was noticeable that the clock and always-on home button shifted all of the time. With screen technology the way it is now, a lot of OEM skins have some sort of burn-in protection in place. I've left the screen on my 7 Pro on for hours on end, alas at the lowest brightness, with the screen timeout set to never and I've never had an issue.
I'm paranoid about burn-in too. I use navigation gestures and systemui tuner app to hide status bar. I use battery widget reborn to see battery percentage and other notifications can be seen in notifications pull down shade. Use auto brightness to change brightness more frequently. I use amoled antiburn app to check for any burn-in. All clear so far.
Since launch, Not much chatter concerning this as an issue... Enjoy your device
I have Google maps burned in..? I hate it because you can see see on a white background alot.
Just curious. How many of you are seeing screen-burn in on your phones?
I use CF.Lumen to adjust the screen to be warmer at night. I notice some darker areas/burn-in with CF.Lumen enabled and the screen brightness dimmed to super low levels (using CF.Lumen's built-in darkness slider for Sleep mode)
What I notice is a sort of dark spot at very low brightness, and a sort of dark shadowy line running down the screen close to the left side. It's kinda annoying but I really only see it when I have text on the screen (and I'm trying to read text) at lower-than-stock dimness levels. I'm slowly getting used to it. At first I panicked thinking that my screen had burned in already at a few months of use, but when I have CF.Lumen off and I have the stock brightness slider set all the way to 0, I don't notice any lines or weird dark spots.
Then again, 0 brightness using the stock brightness slider is still VERY bright if you're coming from iOS's Accessibility settings. Android has poor screen filter settings and few good screen filter apps outside CF.Lumen and f.lux and I doubt Android 12 will change that.
So, are any of you experiencing screen burn-in? OLED burn-in is something that always has me worried. I try to avoid OLED phones for this reason, because I'm paranoid.
OLEDs have a finite lifespan. The brighter they burn, the shorter they last.
The higher energy blue emitters have the shortest life span, while red the longest.
Darker screen wallpaper, dark mode and less white icons/headers helps reduce wear.
Use manual brightness control and avoid going over 50% whenever possible. Don't use in direct sunlight... this is a killer.
Move icons and widgets periodically on the homescreen. Avoid prolonged white screen viewing and apps that are dark mode illiterate.
These practices also increase battery life substantially.
Use Screen Test to see if any damage is present.
After over 1.5 years of heavy usage and one battery replacement, my AMOLED display on my Note 10+ shows no signs of damage. How you use it day to day/what you view with it makes a big difference in display longevity.
