auto brightness problem with t-mobile - Xperia Z3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Anyone having issues with auto brightness not adjusting? I find it when i unlock my phone that it is too dark to see anything.

What's about after that?

Same here actually, the adaptive brightness sucks on my T-mobile Z3.

Same here on my D6616 Tmobile z3 . Has anyone else experienced random screen flickers like an old CRT type flicker? been seeing this the past few days on mine.

No, flickers here. Auto-brightness seems okay for me, maybe I just have low standards lol, after the G2's auto-brightness issues.

It's been the same for all Xperia phones as far as I can remember. You would have better results with a 3rd party app (something like Lux Autobrightness).

Auto Brightness Issue?

I'm curious to know if I'm the only one with this issue. I haven't been able to pinpoint it, but it seems like after every reboot I have to go back into the brightness settings and enable "auto brightness" again.
Anyone else seeing this?

Hmm. Well that just made my issue suck that much more. Lmao.
No big deal, hopefully I won't be rebooting that often.

yeah that or hope someone else had the same issue and fixed it somehow
Possible Solution?
I was having the same issue, I switched on and off auto-brightness, turned off the phone, pulled the battery, turned on the phone, switched auto-brightness on and restarted the phone. After all that, auto-brightness is working correctly. I hope this helps.

I'll probably try that next time I run into the issue. When auto is on it works well.
Sorry for the late reply, I have this exact issue too. Annoys the **** out of me.

Well that's three of us. Hate the issue, but doesn't it feel better when you know you're not retarded and the issue really does exist?
I have been having this issue at well. It appears to happen at random!
I've heard that the auto-brightness bug happens when your phone goes into power-saver mode. It turns off auto-brightness, but then doesn't turn it back on once you've recharged.
Not positive this is the cause, but it seems logical - I'll have to keep an eye out the next time I let my battery run low...
I've noticed that more often than not, the phone fails to switch autobrightness back on after exiting the camera app.
Happens to me too. I never really pay attention enough to notice when it occurs.

Led notification light issues

Hi all
Just got my 2nd nexus 5, first one went back for touch screen issues. Got 2nd one and this has problem too.
If someone sends me a text the pulse notification light pulses once and that's it. No repeat. However after that if someone sends me a text it works as it should, ie repeats every 10 seconds.
Seems very random as to when it works properly. Anyone else have this issue?
Thanks all
Chris

Yes, people have this problem on stock rom.. It appears randomly though and not as often as you're getting. A restart fixes it... Are you using Light Flow or any app to control the LED??
No will light flow solve this?

May be, May be not. Even light flow has some random problems with LED notifications... For some people it works flawlessly, for some it doesn't... Only way is to try it out...

Trying it now seems to work ok. Strange that my last nexus didn't suffer this problem. Wounder if Google are aware of this issue?
Also on a side note not sure if it's related but I'm sure my first nexus 5 did a software update when I first took it out of the box, my new one did not do that.

Yes, I think they are aware of it... I remember reading it somewhere around XDA about it.. Can't find a link to it though.. I guess we will just have to wait for the update and see... FYI, a reboot fixes the issue temporarily..
It didn't update because the ones which were manufactured in January came with 4.4.2 Out of the box which is the latest update!

Thanks for your reply mate, for me when I reboot the first message does not work, then they seem ok after that, that's just for sms, I get no notifications at all with whatsapp etc, however light flow seems to work ok at moment but would be nice if Google did a fix.

Big issue with light sensor

I explain you my issue...
First thing to say is that I had the same problem on my Galaxy S5 and of this reason I think that there is some app that causes this issue.
The problem is that the light sensor works normally when the outdoor luminosity increases, but the brightness of the screen doesn't reduces if the outside luminosity is going down until I block/unlock the phone again.
The result is that if I'm ouside during a sunny day and the brightness is set to the maximum level, also if I go to a cellar the brightness doesn't change.
Does anyone else have the sam issue?
Thanks
I'm having the same issue. Wish I knew what was causing it, but haven't a clue. Hopefully someone can help.

It's a very strange issue. I'm using Lux that is working fine but it would nice to be able to use also the default brightness slider in the notification panel.
I've used lux in the past on previous devices, but forgot all about it. Gonna give it a try!

Can you make a list of the apps you have installed in your device so we can check which are the same apps we are using...:good:

Waze App

Good morning All.
So I am new to the forums so excuse my nervousness here. I have a odd question for those who already have this phone. Basically, I would like to know if the Waze app Galaxy S8+ operate fluidly? The reason that I ask is because when I had my Note 5 I would notice while I was using the app during the navigation mode it would skip as I was driving.
When I had the phone then I thought it was a firmware issue from the app or the phone it self, however that was not the case because they were both up to date at that present time.While researching I found out that I was not it was an issue with the Android OS.
I am very interested to know the answer to this thank you!

Only used it once, but it seems to work fine
I use it daily and haven't had issues with it. Ive had my phone since wed, but had a S7 edge before that and no issues there either.

Great news. I know it seems like an odd question, but I use Waze more than any app on any devices that I have.
Waze work great in my galaxy s8 plus...
Enviado desde mi SM-G955U mediante Tapatalk
Daily use of Waze and zero issues.
I use Waze daily while on patrol. I used it on all the previous Android devices I have had and now on the S8+. I have had no issue with the production version.

That's good to hear. I have just got a S8+ and never realised that AMOLED's suffer this as I've only ever had LCD phones.
Do you do anything other than change the car colour as I guess the orange icon to the right of the screen in the app could cause problems.
Do you set it to a certain brightness etc?

I just let it run as is with auto brightness on. I'm in the same boat, this is my first AMOLED phone. I've had it about 3 months now and so far so good.

marks on display

I bought it yesterday, and just noticed this greenish mark that looks like it's sitting over the in display fingerprint scanner.
Has anyone noticed it?

That is a problem that happens on the 8 pro quite a bit. I'd try and get a replacement immediately.

Ya this happened to me on 2 different 7t McLaren's. OnePlus quality control is crap and this cements my decision not to get the OnePlus 8 unfortunately.

My oneplus 8 is just fine and it really seems to be that the pro has far far more issues. There's a few complaints about the normal 8 but not even close to as many as the pro

Nope. It's a very crisp high refresh rate screen. I've done extensive testing to make sure it's not an issue. I have the network unlocked variant not the verizon one.

Im just 24 hours with this device, it looks like this tint gets stronger after frequently using fingerprint scanner. And its well seen on a grey background.

I strongly suggest you get an exchange for that. They'll do it no questions asked. You're chances are very very good that the next one will not have that issue at all.
