I remember about a week ago, the lockscreen would never be dimmed and the lockscreen picture would be in its full context.
Recently, my lockscreen picture is always dim and the clock is in its full brightness. I looked around in settings and I don't think I ticked an option. Anyone?
Anyone?

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 flashed Baked Blackbean 7 last evening. Everything appears to be working fine, so thanks to the devs for a good AOSP 4.2 rom!
I do miss the brightness slider on the notification page though. I see an option under statusbar settings called "statusbar brightness slider". I've tried turning this on and off, but don't see any change. The description is "whether the statusbar brightness slider is on when you slide across the statusbar".
Does anyone know what this option does? It'd be nice if it was a quick screen brightness control.
from your home screen, press the status bar. slide left for dim, right for brighter.
it takes a few times to get used to it.

Ok, that's what I thought. The problem I was having is that I had auto brightness on.
Just like the slider in notifications in TW, you have to have auto brightness off for the slider to have any effect.
Thanks for the quick response!
np, glad you got it squared away.
Here's my only problem with this watch : The active display is beautiful, bright, colorful, great to look at. Wish I could look down at my watch and see it everytime but I can't - it flips to AOD display no matter what.
I can live with that, but I'd like to make the 'inactive' display or the 'AOD' display brighter than it is. I have not found any way to do this.
Is there an app or a rooted modification to make this brighter? I don't need the active display on all the time, just want the 'inactive' display to be brighter so I don't have to squint at my watch during the day.
Does anyone have a solution?
Disable the "Low light" auto and AOD stay visible correctly.
I have "Auto low brightness" set to "off" but the AOD brightness still goes down to a level 1 brightness and is very difficult to see. I'd like to see it at a 4-5. Are there no rooted mods or anything that can fix this?
Yes, we must have at least brightness to 4 to see properly AOD. But if "Auto low brightness" is ON even at 6 is it dark with dark light.
I tried setting it to 10 while keeping "auto low brightness" OFF - but the AOD brightness is still too dim. I wish there was a way to change this.
I don't know of any way to do this for native watchfaces. However, Watchmaker allows you to customise the AOD to your specification. I have a Fortis watchface I downloaded and customised that the AOD just hides some complications and is fully visible. Yes, it does drain battery quicker but still lasts the day...
I gave Watchface a try and although you can customize much more, after setting the dimmer brightness to 40% (which was the max) it still looked just as dim, if not more, than the default Galaxy AOD display. I guess I'm the only one with this complaint - I work in a bright environment.
same here.. aod is way too dim. There should be an option to change the brightness of that even if it does use a little more battery.. There seems to be 2 different brightness settings with the aod that automatically adjust between the two but turning off Auto low brightness doesn't seem to make any difference. The point of having aod is so we can use it like a normal watch.. but as it is now it's almost pointless.. hope samsung fixes this in a future update.. but unlikely.. I use watchmaker but can't find the option to adjust the aod.. any ideas???
On my Galaxy Watch 42mm I use AOD Clock, it's an app not a watchface, but stays always on very bright and it seems to be moving slightly (amoled friendly?). But uses a lot of battery.
Just got a OP6. When on the lockscreen, the screen is tinted a lighter shade, never come across this before and it reverts back when you unlock the phone. I don't have face unlock enabled. Is this normal?
Also, brightness under 100% is very dim, have to have it at 75% to be the same as my Moto Z Play on 20%. Is this new on 9.0?
Thanks
1. Yes, lockscreen has tinted look
2. Yes, seems to be a feature of 9.0, it has been presented at some point.
Cheers for that. Can you disable tinted lockscreen? My OP5 didn't have that.
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.
