Light Sensor - Galaxy Note 10.1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Where is the light sensor on the Galaxy Note? The screen brightness on my tablet seems to switch at the smallest change, I can't tell if its where I'm putting my fingers or its just that sensitive. Last night I tried to watch a movie on the screen with normal lighting and I could barely see what was going on, especially in dark scenes.

It's at the top of the face of the tablet, right next to the front-facing camera.

Can be a problem with some cases....

In-Display frame and a spot

Hi everyone.
Just got my new S6 (non edge) today. While I'm installing my apps by sitting in the garden, the sun shines directly to the display and I saw just two things I can not recognize.
Around the display is a frame inside, which is showing up, when there is a white background in a lighten environment where the auto brightness is setting up to a maximum . Its hard to photograph, but I tried it. The "zebra-look/stripes" are from taking the photo, its not present on the display.
After that I saw a spot on the upper side in the middle of the display, too.
Anyone else? Or is this no problem? Doesn't looks nice when the sun is shining and you are using the phone...

My phone has the same thing when in direct sunlight showing a white image I can see what looks kind of like a faint black border on the edge like in your bottom left corner picture.
I literally just saw this when I was outside today, fortunately I was not able to see it inside or under normal lighting conditions. It's most likely a shadow of sorts from light reflecting inside the display assembly. I don't think it's a big deal tbh.
Yeah quite possibly a shadow of the assembly. My fingers make shadows on the screen in direct sunlight unlike any phone I've seen before.
If you look hard enough, it looks like a G.
Its rhe panel in behind the screen guys

[Q] Grainy screen?

Does anybody else have a rather noticable grainy screen? It looks like a layer between the diodes and the front glass. Its as if I was looking on the screen with some photoshop grainy effect. Or better, if you put a very thin paper in between the diodes and the front glass. It gets significanty better with brightness turned up to max. But it doesnt go away completely. Its most pronounced with darker colours. Black is fine though, no mura effect there.
Its really annoying to look at. Is it normal? I thought LG supposedly fixed this issue which was very common on the original Flex.
I only saw a grainy screen when I turned the brightness way way down below the normal with Lux brightness control.

brightness sensor

Hello !
I believe I understood that there was a "three dimensional" sensor on this phone,
Above the flash I saw a sensor, but for the front face I think there is nothing
In use, I often have the screen that gets too dark, because my hand must hide this sensor, or the rear face directed towards the ground and therefore less light towards this face
Also, if I use my phone flat on a table or desk, it goes to a minimum, which is very disturbing since I like using my device a lot. ?
With the sun, we can see under the panel the fingerprint sensor in the middle of the screen, a small rectangle not very straight, moreover, but also a small circle at the top, where I imagine it Is there a light sensor, am I wrong or someone has some info to confirm this ?
Thanks and good day !

why doesn't samsung bring dc dimming

My eyes are extremely sensitive, and yet are not bother'd by PWM or lack of PC dimming. Why not? Here are a couple things that may explain it:
(1) I use dark mode at all times on all apps possible. That way, most of the screen (80~90% of screen pixels) most of the time, emit no light at all. The only pixels that flash light are the important ones, e.g. lighting the actual characters of the text I'm trying to read. And,
(2) I use an anti-glare screen proctector, mainly because reflections from various ambient light sources all around me bounce off the shiney display screen's unprotected glass surface and go directly into my eyes! The matte finish of a good anti-glare screen protector may also tend to disperse light coming from pixels behind the protector, lessening their blast of light pulses seen by my eyes.
It possible to enable DC dimming on Samsung Galaxy fold 3?

Question Circular hole on the inner screen

Hey everybody,
Have you noticed that at a certain angle there is a clearly visible camera hole on the inner screen of the Fold 2?
Look at the upper right part of the screen where usually the signal bars are displayed.
Perfect camera sized opening under the pixels... I guess they initially designed the screen with an under-dsplay camera in mind, but for some reason decided not to do it at the end...
Ambient light sensor. Cover the hole with your finger and the screen will dim.
