samsung S7 camera Flickering - Samsung Galaxy S7 Questions and Answers

Hello,
Since I bought my Samsung S7, i've noticed that the camera is flickering when you are for exemple at home and the light from outside is super strong
It doesn't happen outside or when there is not a strong different luminosity. It seems the camera doesn't like hudge contrast difference.
It also happen more frequently on the slow motion mode of the camera
Is it normal?
On the picture mode, sometimes it's possible to cancel the flickering by boosting the luminosity on the manual mode
Thanks for your help

Hi there. It is happening to several users (don't know whether it happens to everybody). Check on youtube for "S7 flickering" and "Galaxy S7 flikering".

Galaxy S7 strange changing screen brightness

Has anyone noticed the screen brightness changing momentarily on its own? It's kind of hard to describe so I made a little video. I think it happens often, but it's easier to see in certain apps such as the one I used for this demo.
Apologies for the quality, it was recorded with my Nexus 5.

I'm french an i have thr same problem too. I search for a solution. Appear as a soft problem...
sous GS7
Same issue with the S7 AT&T, I just turned off auto brightness.
Turning off auto-brightness does not solve this issue.

Display is slightly blinking in specific conditions

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.

Display and Instagram issues

Hello to everyone, new user of the Xperia 5ii and I have two problems
1)Has anyone observed a slightly change in the colour of the screen between 60 and 120hz? It's very obvious if you have dark mode and sit in a dark room. When you toggle the selection on and off, you can easily see it
2)I was trying to upload an Instagram story and the quality drops significantly. You literally can distinguish pixels. It's only on Instagram, on Facebook there was no problem. Also I tried to upload the photos from another device, and the same problem exists.
Any help is most welcome

This is true and if being honest, quite expected. It most noticable when the screen brightness is somewhere 5-20%. You can clearly see it when toggling the 60 or 120hz. The panel itself is great, many oled defects are gone or very minimal. This green tint issue is quite common on other 120hz panels too (mostly Samsung made). That might also be one reason why the new Iphone 12 phones don't have 120hz, too much quality problems.
So yes, there is a green tint. But luckily it is very minor and only on certain screen brightness. Haven't noticed it when actually using the phone.
Not sure if this count as a defect to get a replacement (the replacement would probably have the same issue).
Attached few photos I took.
I have the same issue in low-brightness and 120Hz activated

Question Screen glitch

I noticed that unlocking screen with fingerprint with display set up in wqhd, natural and adaptive mode, produces this glitch :
, anyone noticed the same?
I have exynos version.

that glitch happens before you even touch the fingerprint part. happens as soon as the screen comes on. looks like a digitizer problem.
It only happens using default animated lock screen
prob glitch with the actual wallpaper animation
Also happens on S21U has been present since October
Edit:- smaller glitch on S21U however
I never noticed it on my S21 Ultra.
I had this issue too, just got mine delivered today and had this issue when touching the fingerprint sensor, also I had the animated lock screen set, I just changed it to a static one, I'll get back if the problem persists
Same exact problem here too (Exynos 512/12).
Edit: 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.
I tried more than one animated wallpapers, it only seems to have the issue with the pre-installed animated wallpapers though, with the other I downloaded it works fine
It also happening switching from 108mp to 4/3, but not every times. I also noticed that glitch sometimes doesn't go away if camera is set up to 108mp until i switch to an another camera mode.

Question HDR Issues on S22 Ultra (Snapdragon)

The issue issue is the screen dimming after moving the brightness slider to increase brightness. Some have spectucalated it may be due to the Vision Booster Samsung had bragged about. If so, I would like to know how to disable Vision Booster and publish a software update to fix the issue?
Please upvote this to gain more attention and for Samsung themselves to acknowledge this issue to fix this issue ASAP. One of the main features of this phone is for maximum viewing pleasure but how can I enjoy when the brightness is so dark and there is nothing I can do to increase the brightness?
Edit: I found a video which has the visual proof of the same issue:
Same problem for me with exynos had the s21 ultra and side by side hdr is definitely brighter on the s21 hopefully just a software issue and hope this isn't attentional from Samsung
Yep, and increasing brightness slider does not increase the brightness at all. At most the brightness will increase to my desired level but then dimmed out back to the brightness level before I changed brightness.
after new OTA and updated cam firmware.. HDR settings seems totally broken. Unlike old fones where it specifically had HDR option "on/off/auto" the option has vanished. Strange
Sorry my bad.. i thought u were talking about camera

This was mentioned in another thread where samsung confirmed removing HDR options for an "automatic" HDR
Yes issue is there. But i think it can be fixed with software update
Yes.. i am having the same issue with my s22 ultra snapdragon variant. I compared it side by side with my s20 plus. Very bad HDR effects, specially watching hdr movies. Lets raise our voices and bring this big issue to samsung attention. Wherever the country you are, post it on social medias and try to contact your customer support. This needs to be fixed.. samsung should vbe aware of that.
S22 ultra (Snapdragon m-s908n) here, and same issue, although mine seems even worse.
You can even see the screen dimming when changing brightness in Netflix while playing HDR content. Step:
- play HDR content
- set brightness to full (Netflix interface)
- change brightness slider down (tiny bit) you will see a flash of brightness (what I assume would be the correct setting) and then immediate dimming
Changed all display settings and still nothing :/ (refresh rate, resolution, video brightness, ...)
I am aslo having the same issue. Snapdragon SM-S908E/DS
