[Q] Brightness problem - AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL

Hi everyone,
I have a problem with my one xl (o2de, everything is stock): depending on a picture on the screen its brightness changes.The "whiter" picture - the higher the brigthness (and it's not a hallucination), it looks like inverted CABC with big amplitudes of brightness changes. For example, screen brigthness for the picture 2 would be higher than for the picture 1, the same stuff with 4 and 3 (and it happens even during video playback, brightness goes up and down constantly). What could be the reason? Automatic brightness is off, of course.

My girlfriend just got her phone in the other day and it has this issue. It's currently flashed with CleanROM 5.1 and has been doing this.
My phone (same model) is also running CleanROM 5.1 and it doesn't seem to have this issue.
Does anybody have any ideas or solutions?

Could be a screen firmware or hardware issue. I would RUU and see if it continues.

I second that. HTC is known for this bug. You can also download Velis from the market. That seems to fix it too.

Screen issue

Hey guys,
My phone seems to have a strange issue where what you were doing previously is still showing on the screen. For example, I was playing draw something and then opened up the xda app. During the loading I could still see the page where I was guessing the word. Is anyone else having this issue? Also, do you believe it's worth sending my phone back, as the warranty is coming to an end. I feel it's getting worse

Is this on just one ROM you are using, or have you noticed it on several. If so, I believe it is a hardware fault.
I think you should send it in for warranty

Well icecoldsandwich and Cm9 are the only two ROMs I have used lately and they both have the fault. But they also both share the fact they're both ice cream sandwich
Just when I had settled down to a ROM, I'm having to change again

Screen Burn ?
Isn't it the Screen Burn issue ? Have you set your brightness too high ?
I have the same issue, I thought it was the screen burn issue. Happens across all ROMS, but it fades after a while so I'm not really bothered.

My brightness is always on auto brightness. I don't think it's ever on the highest brightness.
Also mine fades quickly, but before it was hardly visible. Now you can see the previous image clearly. But this only seems to happen on certain screens.
Seems to be a common issue, most people say it disappears after a while. Might as well just leave it. Not worth putting my phone back to stock.
I'm experiencing it with all the ROMs. It annoys me sometimes, but goes away quickly.
Anyway, you're not an isolated case...

Screen burn, burn-in, image retention.
I'm on my 3rd DS and they've all had it. It's annoying but it didn't last so that's something I suppose.
Apparently it's fairly common with SLCD screens.
Lowering the brightness, hiding the statusbar, and some livewallpapers/screensavers have helped in my experience though.

i too had the same issue previously.. but back then i always had the screen brightness set to the lowest. thought it was due to that and now am changing the brightness based on the lighting of the environment as i hate to set it to auto.. after that am not seeing that issue

screen flicker on low brightness

Do you experience screen flicker for your tablet when;-
1) Brightness set low manually. espicially at night !
2) Auto brightness set but flicker comes again when screen brightness is low in dark room.
3) Wifi is turned on and signal is low.
note : i disable the "auto adjust screen power" and provlem still exist on low brighness !!
My friend has the same problem and he can't figure out the reason :/
In GT2 i don't have this problem but with nexus7 yes.
is that individual problem for this tablet or all of galaxy tab 2 7.0 have this problem ??
please what should do ?
i noticed somethings :
1-screen flicker on low brightness under 20 % when i rise it above 20 % it gone !!!
2-it show clear on background color white !!!
3-that happen sometimes not all time and when i Lighter down screen a little by little the problem gone !!!!!!
waiting your answer ..
thanks

Since you are using the official firmware, then we can rule out the possibility of a bad modification from custom firmwares as the cause.
First thing to try usually is to see if the problem still occurs after a fresh factory reset, so do backup your stuff first.
If the problem still exists after a factory reset, then it could very likely be a hardware problem with the LCD backlight & you should send the tablet in for servicing.
the problem almost solve when i use app ( screendim)
www.4shared.com/android/h9Qv3UW8/ScreenDimFull.html
why is that ?!! what do you think ?
I have noticed this same problem with GT2, but no where near as often as with my Nexus 7. Ive also noticed my polarized sunglasses have less impact on the GT2 than Nexus 7 when the device is held in landscape position. I've just gotten used to the flicker I guess, because I rarely notice it anymore.
AW: screen flicker on low brightness
Same problem on my tab below 30% of brightness. I'm using Custom Auto Brightness to solve the problem.

i use app ( screendim ) like i said about one week and it is very simple and the problem almost gone when i put on low brightness !
Actually these are considered workarounds rather than solutions.
I use my Tab 2 at below 30% brightness as well on stock (albeit rooted) ROM, it works just fine.
If the root cause is likely to be a hardware problem, then you should send it in while the device is still covered under the warranty to replace the LCD.

actually it happen with me only on lowest brightness and only sometimes not all the times and only sometimes when i turn screen on for 30 seconds and then it gone !! and when it gone it isn't come back until i turn screen off and on again (and not all the time ) !!
really that made me crazy !! but after use app ( screendim full ) the problem don't show almost time on low brightness !!
what do you think ? is that wrong to use apps to soleve problem or should take it to SAMSUNG service ..because it will take week to diagnose problem !!
is there any apps that can make backup to all apps and all settings and all homescreen settings and games saved for restore it if service make data reset for tablet ??

Right, I've tried 4 tabs at my local dealer and everyone had screen flicker on low brightness - more or less. Especially when it's dark it is easy to see. 2 of them showed the screen flicker after a short period of time while the screen was activated. The other 2 tabs showed the screen flicker after about 10-20 minutes. Every tab came out of the box. I think it is caused by a cheap LCD panel.

On my panel screen brightness below 30% is too dark for me. So it doesn't matter for me. So I set the minimum brightness higher via Custom Auto Brightness.

Interesting, I was wondering which country/region do you all reside in from which you purchased the Galaxy Tab 2 ? This sounds like a batch problem if so many people complain about similar issue.
From where I hail, & based on the local forums, I have never heard of this issue with Galaxy Tab 2 in general until here on XDA Developer forum.
I may not be an expert but from the description of the problem by various members, it seems to be a serious hardware flaw that ought to be replaced under warranty.
if problem stop at this point that okay and it isn't bother me anymore when i use app ( screendim ) ...but i am fraid to developed to more than that !!!
if there is expert tell me will be more than that with screen or not ?

Video: Samsung seems to have introduced black clipping/crush with software

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.

Am i the only one who has display backlight flickering with my Zenfone 6?

Hi,
i got my Zenfone 6 today, and i really like it, but there is one thing that probably makes me return it...
The display is flickering when it‘s set to really low brightness, i think its the backlight.
I‘m not sure if it's broken or not. So, am i the only one with a flickering display?
Thank you

I had the same situation yesterday, it was on low brightness too.
But only for a few seconds, for now, everything seems fine, even in low brightness.
With adaptive brightness set on or off?
Do you have the latest firmware version WW-16.1210.1904.133?
It doesn‘t matterif adaptive brightness is on or off, it does it as soon as the display lowers its brightness to the 1st 1/4 of the brightness bar...

Hi, i have the same problem. Received the phone a week ago and trying to find a solution. I am on the last firmware, tried the dev option about overlay, hard reset and still the same. Going to send it back to Asus for a refund...
I wonder if this is software or hardware related. As of now i can't use it at night with low brightness.
It will probably be a problem for a particular phone, I would recommend that you replace it with a new one.
https://swedroid.se/forum/threads/snabba-fragor-snabba-svar-zenfone-6.165775/page-38#post-2443073
Thanks for the feedback. Called Asus this morning to replace it hopefully.
My Zenfone 6 does the same. If I set the adaptive brightness on the low brightness flickering disappears. I think it's a software related problem because others Zenfone have the same behaviour.
Tried it. No matter the settings it flickers. I found a video that match the problem, weird no one noticed : youtu.be/DN1La8AbZsI
Check at 1.16 min, on the right side, it flickers like that, when the luminosity is low. This is what i see on my screen.
Same here. White backgrounds flicker when brightness set to low. Tried disabling HW overlay, but it didn't help. Phone on the latest firmware WW_16.1210.1904.133.
Anybody letting the techs at Asus know about these problems? I would like to hear about a fix before I buy anything.
I am in touch with Asus France, i have to send back the phone for an exchange as they told me it MAY be a hardware problem.
I linked the thread to them if it can help.
Every zenfone I have had (2 and 3) have had this issue.

Funny how we here in the US complain that so many phones are released in the EU, or India, or China long before they ever appear here....but in reality it could be that we benefit from this practice so that some of these issues can be resolved by others before we have to deal with them.

I hope that when this phone is released in your country, this issue will be solved definitively via software update. The way I see it, this problem isn't a huge problem, fortunately. Actually the screen flickering occours only if the brightness is set to a very low level (e.g. <20%) but, with this setting, the backlight is too dim as well for use even in a dark room (obviously for my taste). Since I use adaptive brightness with default settings, the minimum value the screen brightness reaches is 34% so I never get the problem....

Question S22 Ultra bugs (mobile data/display/other)

Just got my phantom black, 12/256 exynos version delivered today, been using it since this morning and I noticed that on mobile data I have little to no connection even though the 5g icon is stable in the Taskbar, as soon as I connect to wifi everything runs normally. I also had the purple glitch when touching the fingerprint sensor but solved it by disabling the dinamic animated lock screen wallpaper and putting in a normal, static one.
Another issue is that the phone locks itself (goes to lock screen) while browsing the apps (just like double tapping on home screen) but not while using any app.
I hope this is just firmware issue since they are shipping all the phones with the same firmware region based but maybe they still need feedback from some carriers (hence the mobile data issue) and also the display glitches I believe are nothing that a firmware update wouldn't fix.
P. S. : in these first few hours I didn't get at 1 hz refresh rate

With my xiaomi 12 pro if the screen brightness is dim it doesn't go to its lowest refresh rate. Increase the screen brightness and see if it goes to 1 hertz
I am having exactly all the same problems as OP with my 12/512 Exynos version. Now wondering if it is hardware or software issue with the screen glitching when using the fingerprint sensor. The glitch only occurs when using 3088x1440 wqhd+ resolution and dynamic animated lock screen. Position of the screen interference is always the same but can differ in size.

Could this also be a YouTube thing also? Like how Netflix has to certify certain devices in order to use HDR content. Maybe these new 2.0 panels need to have apps updated to work with them.

They forgot to mention one thing. The adaptive refresh rate only works, if your brightness is above 8% or ambient light sensor reads more than 40 lux.
So if you are some like me, with low brightness and low ambient light, get ready for your battery to dissappear as it will be stuck at 120Hz...
on some forums it is mentioned that on Vivis setting for display, the problem does not occur anymore; can you confirm?
anyway, the fact that these artefacts are not displayed when in FHD setting, shows that it is not a display problem, but a software or GPU
I've posted this in a separate thread. I don't think my issue is linked to the screen issues described here. I have a flashing green pixel. Seems like hardware. See the pics.
I have a mountain of problems too, with S22 Ultra black 12/256.
I've got:
Overheating and rebooting in my pocket when doing nothing
Random hanging whilst scrolling down a long list
Intermittent flashing green dots (I think four) across the screen
Horrendous battery life (had it for only 48 hours, but still)
S-Pen sometimes doesn't fire the Air Actions menu when removed (or basically just doesn't notice it's been removed?)
And not really a problem, but after 4 generations it still can't record HDR and 60 frames per second, when in 4k.
This is a huge disappointment, and the fastest tech return ever from me.
