Has anybody else experienced their screens changing brightness randomly?
I have mine set to full brightness and it will randomly get slightly dimmer for a few seconds up to a minute before going back to the original brightness.
It's sorta hard to notice unless you're looking at an image with a lot of white (Play Store, webpages, etc.)
My first N5, which I RMA'd for other defects, also did this.
Any guesses if it's a software or hardware issue?
Derp, just found this thread that answers my question: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2516915

Hi all
I've had my tf300 for a few days now, and I have a different kind of screen brightness problem. When watching movies or looking at pictures, they often look like they've been recorded/taken with very strong lighting like very strong sunlight. The effect isn't influenced by the brightness settings on the tablet, high or low the effect is still visible. The first tf300 I had did the same thing, so I returned it, figuring it was a problem with that particular tablet, but the second one does the same thing.
I've "solved" the issue by downloading screen adjuster from marketplace and setting the brightness setting in that app to 70% or less. Apparently that app adjusts a different screen brightness than the one the built in one does, because by using that screen brightness adjustment the effect disappears.
Anyway I was wondering how widespread this issue is - if it might be an actual defect or ASUS just screwing up the brightness settings of the screen.
Regards
I'm not sure what it is with this phone's auto brightness but comparing it to my old nexus 5 I can see that this phones screen is always darker. I know autob its working because I sometimes see it change automatically but its just always set to be way too dark. I
f anyone else has this problem or know how to fix it without having to manually adjust the brightness that would help a ton.
Also if you changed your lux levels please post those.
On and also I do have the official screen protector on if that matters.

Yes, it is a little dark, you can go to settings/display & light and hit the little gear icon, hit adjust and set up the screen brightness you like depending on the ambient light.
i am facing that some time while scrolling brightness increases for some millisecond and come to normal. i found that is twitter, some huge page in browser page.
can any one tell what could be the issue hardware or just a software bug which can be fixed with other rom installation.
I've searched the forum and completed several google searches using various words or phrases, but nothing comes close to my question.
Anyone having screen flicker issues on auto brightness? I've had my phone 4 days and have continually observed the screen incessantly increase and decease in brightness, particularly noticeable at night, probably because I'm finally able to sit down with the device.
Along with aggressive memory management closing apps I want open and the long in the tooth notification isssue, I'm up i the air as to keeping the phone.
Kindly chime in, maybe I just got a lemon.
Yesterday i noticed something strange in my OP7p and i'd like you to check whether something like this occurs in your phones. Issue, which i will describe occurs only when i have 90hz refresh rate set and the low brightness of the screen with the auto adjustment of brightness turned off. The easiest way to see that is on youtube application with a dark theme. When we start a movie on the full screen (horizontally) and watch it for a few seconds, then go back to the vertical position, there is something like weak but visible blink of the screen, or a minimal colours change. It can be noticed in other apps, e.g. on facebook. Seems to me this is a software problem, beacause the same phenomenon doesn't exists when we set 60hz refresh. I would be very grateful if you can check it on your phones and give me a know about it.
I don't usually start videos in full screen mode and never noticed it but yeah definitely does a white flicker.
This is the highest brightness I could get it to do the flicker at.
Thank you for an answer. Personally i am able to see this flicker on a little bit higher screen brightness, but maybe its because im sitting in a dark room now. I was worried cause sometimes i see it during the normal usage of phone, and if only my OnePlus would be affected by this flickering i could still return it or exchange for a new one. It isnt very disturbing however interesting is whats cause of it.

this is usual for EVERY Oled screen and is called jelly effect...
You might want to try the DC dimming option in Settings->Utilities->OnePlus Laboratory.

From what i know jelly effect appears while we scrolling some content and propably that's not what i meant in my first post. Also flicker in my case is only visible on 90hz refresh rate.
I have galaxy s7e as a second phone and that effect doesn't happen there.

Thanks but i tried this option and it didn't do the job well.
So, I've only had this phone for a few days but I've noticed something quite strange about it's adaptive brightness feature. Sometimes when turning the brightness up the phone will seem to "jump up" in brightness instead of smoothly moving up to what it wants to be at. This happens usually at the end but sometimes in the middle of the automatic adjustment. I'm not too keen on owning a lot of phones, so has anyone else experienced this issue? Not just on this phone, but on any? I need to know within my return window if it's a hardware fault or not, but I don't want to go through the hassle or the risk if I don't need to.
The "jump" In brightness doesn't happen unless it's automatically adapting the brightness.
