I have the TMobile S6 variant that I've had for about 6 months or so and noticed a few weeks back that that auto brightness does not work. it stays very very low even in very bright settings, I always have to go in a manually change th3 screen brightness. Is there a fix for this in an update or something because I seem to be the only one with an S6 having the issue although it has been reported for the Edge only.
Me and others have the same experience with the S6.
Samsung support told me that it's no issue - just an "individual perception"!
I use the app" AutoBrightness" to substitute the issue of the "world best Smartphone"

Hello,
I am writing an application that uses the built-in pressure sensor. I experienced that after the screen has gone dark the pressure sensor stops delivering data. The onSensorChanged() method of the SensorEventListener never gets called when the screen is off. When the screen is switched on the sensor immediately starts providing samples again. I tried setting a wakelock, unregistering and re-registering the SensorEventListener triggered by a ScreenOff Action, running the service that hosts the listener in foreground - nothing works. I use the latest stable version of slim bean but I doubt that using stock rom would behave differently. Has anyone tried this before and maybe even found a workaround? Any hints that point me in the right direction appreciated. Same Code works as expected on a Nexus4.
Best Regards
Paul
Just guessing, but maybe the sensor is turned off by kernel

Yeah, it seems like this is something beyond my influence. The sensor is a fabric by Bosch, but I don't even know where to find the relevant files in kernel source. Maybe I just disable that feature for the Samsung devices. Thanks, anyways. And cheers from Cologne. Tomorrow half the town is going to be drunk here because of 11.11....
My S5's auto brightness seems to get way to low in darker areas. Also the "+5, -5" slider while on auto seems to do nothing for me.
Has anyone else experienced this?
Sprint - Galaxy S5 - Moto X - Nexus 7 LTE
Sure have, at times its way to dim and when set on auto-brightness that slider doesnt seem to do anything. I usually cant stand auto brightness on any phone tho.
Yea I know what you mean about auto brightness in general, but I feel like this phone takes the unusable to the max. I've never experienced anything like it.
Sprint - Galaxy S5 - Moto X - Nexus 7 LTE
Sadly I can't use auto brightness in the house because of this issue and its pretty annoying.

I guess the brightness isn't the best when in certain areas, but I can't really argue. The phone itself is perfect and the brightness issue isn't a big deal for me.
I use Lux. Got it for am older phone. Works well for this one too

This really bugs me Samsung sell a top end phone yet Release it with pretty much display and sound to a lower level.
Screen I turned straight back up but sound I assume UHQ still worked but it was also turned down which explained the down turn from my S7 to S8 using my Level headset and also in the car.
Why oh why Samsung you morons, the battery impacts seemed negligible.

Bro, just turn them to how you like. They are optional. No need to complain about something you can tune to your liking in 2.5 seconds.

So...
I'm very confused and everything comes to mind.
without further ado, it's about my watch Samsung S3 SM-R760 whom battery has begun strange behavior literally in one day, from 3 (3.5) days to barely 11h
Current software version of the watch:
Tizen 4.0.0.2
R760XXU2DSC1
KNOX 2.3
I have Auto HR off, Screen 5, GPS off, AOD - off, wifi always off, nfc off, report diagnostic off, only BT on
Basically it is a 350eur paperweight now.

Is it possible that they are set up something that will ruin our watches to buy new ones?
It seems to be watch faces. Try Uninstall all watch faces and only use the default one.

Of course, several times tried to reset, with no additional apps or watch faces, situation with draining same.
so, summary, reset without success to solve battery drain then flashed old firmware 2.3, flashed again new R760XXU2DSA1_Tizen 4, again R760XXU2BQC5_R760OXA2BQC5 2.3.2.3 and get back to R760XXU2DSC1_Tizen_3File_Multi CSC (OXA)... :crying:
I do not know what to do...
Maybe some sensor is working all the time without you can disable via software. A faulty sensor or reading. Uninstall Samsung health app and related

and I doubt on some sensor or even kernel, that is stuck or something like that... so I post here to find some ideas what to try
health app on phone not installed.
And every sensor is tested with combined firmware and it passed.

I have the same problem, but we are not the only one.
Search in samsung forums and you will see. I will selling this crap.
Dont look for magic fix, this is samsung software related error, because if you turn off bluetooth the battery will last 3 days.

I think i found the problem. I hace 2 mobiles, one iphone 6 plus and the other a redmi note 7. On the iphone 6 plus, the watch use 2% in one hour, on the other hand use 10% in 30 minutes. Also on the redmi note 7 i have to install the samsung wear app downloading the apk because from the store now it says is not compatible. And they change the samsung S plugin on the new version. So i guess that the app on the redmi note 7 uses the bluetooth link with the watch all the time.
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.

Some users have this very strange screen problem...
Some users have this strange screen problem .
Its random and it lasts for 1-2' sec
Anyone else?
I envy those who received their device already, over here they will be delivered next Friday so we have to wait a bit longer. However I don't envy the issues you guys are having, fingers crossed I don't have to return the device shortly after I get it in my hands.

That’s most definitely in need of a screen replacement. That’sa hardware failure. I would think one could get that fixed for free

What's interesting is that the guy reported the problem only when using WQHD+ on youtube. When used in say gallery the problem was not there.
I've found this guy's post with details on our national samsung group

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.
