auto brightness haywire? - Mate 8 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi guys. Just got my mate 8 coming from 3 years of Samsung note 3 ownership.
I know mate 9 is available in the market but I dislike the design (too rounded look)
Anyway I noticed that the preset auto brightness seems to have a mind of its own. I prefer not to have screen maxed out or at certain brightness level but it seems to do so by itself out of the preset. Any idea why is this?

Is the 10+ display brighter then the n9

Hi I've still got my note 9 till the jiffy bag come for it and next to my note 10 plus when watching the same hdr video on both displays the note 9 seems to get quite a bit brighter is this something to do with note 10 calibration as I thought the note 10 was the brighter display
Thanks
Yes, the Note 10 plus display was tested and beat the Note 9 in every category. It is currently ranked the number one display in all smart phones.

How come when side by side when watching the same video the note 9 seems alot brighter with both phones having the same settings ect
I've done this and it seems a bit better just the note 9 seems more vivid and brighter on videos am I right in assuming it's the way the note 10 is calabrated?
Just watching hdr videos on youtube the note 9 definitely brighter and more punchy side by side but both in the setting menu ect they both seem equal (maybe the note 9 slightly brighter)
Is there a reason for this of might I have a defect I'm thinking it maybe something to do with Samsung removing more of the blue light in the dynamic amoled and been calibrated differently
Just want some confirmation before I send my note 9 back to samsung lol does anyone still have there note 9 to compare
Many thanks
Right just had both displays with adaptive brightness Same setting ect and shines a light to them both and the note 10 definitely get brighter then the note 9 so I'm assuming the dimmer video on youtube ect is down to Samsung going for a more natural look
Just hope in the future they bring back adaptive setting so we can have the more punchy colours because vivid isnt a patch on adaptive setting on the note 9:silly:
Note9 vivid is on by default. Note10 is normal by default
Then you have to add you may "unlocked" the last 10% of the Note9 for brightness and You didn't with the Note10.
My Note10 is about the same brightness than my Note9 fresh out of the box both is vivid and normal mode. I didn't unlock the last 10%

I've put both phones in performance mode put the note 9 in adaptive mode and the note 10 in vivid
The note 9 is still brighter and more vivid in videos compared to my note 10 I think it's the whole "natural" look samsung is going for I briefly had the xperia 1 and that was the same next tom my note 9
Just seem a little washed out the note 10 next to the note 9

Hi mate, well it's seems its not only mine note 10 plus it's a little bit washed in color, I bought in the beginning of this month, make all the updates, inclusive android 10 and reset after, my note 9 too android 10 and reset, and start comparing both, and notice the screen looks better in note 9, I even go to store to compare to others news, and it's the same, it's seems more vivid and accurate, both with QHD and note 10 plus seems in FHD, but that it's not the major problem, its the blacks, but only in low light, I noticed low light note 9 are more blacks, and note 10 are more dark grey, I don't know if it is because the screen is more bright outdoors or need a update, or dinamic amoled Is very different from super amoled, note 10 don't have the option of adaptive display, could be one of the reasons.
I,m using yet the note note9, because I was thinking in trade for a new one.
Do you still have both phones?
Thanks

Hi I dont have the note 9 no more but I've compared the note 10 plus to the missues iPhone 11 pro max and the iphone seems to be the brighter display and the whites on the iphone are incredible (just my opinion)
It really shows when playing hdr via youtube the iphone display crushes my note 10 in terms of brightness and colours popping
Not sure why I've tried tweaking around but the display just doesnt compare
I personally think it's something to do with the blue light filter samsung added to there dynamic panels and possible loading adaptive display mode didn't help lol
I'd still chose my note over the iPhone though

My v40 and s9+ is are brighter than my brand new note 10?

First thing i noticed upon setup.I tried messing with all display settings.Note 10 is supposedly one of the brightest display's on the market even more so than a xs max or a s10+.Do i have a defective unit? anyone else feel like their max brightness is low?

Agree.,,my OP7pro is brighter than my note10plus. This along with the issues of signal, is a deal breaker for me.
My note 9 was as well I tried all sorts to see why but I managed to sort it out by switching on performance mode and setting blue light filter on and to the lowest setting
Now the note 10 plus is brighter then my note 9 but in video the note 10 is not as vivid and bright I think it's due to the note 10 been more color accurate and them eliminating a lot of the blue light
But I think it does get bright just more in direct sunlight
Ok so i tested the v40, s9+ and note 10 all on the same youtube hdr video. s9+ and note10 on vivid, note 10 is definitely the brightest of the three.so the display is not faulty, its capable but you cannot go the high brightness manually. probably because of potential oled burn in warranty problems , samsung has capped the brightness under normal conditions. Also i noticed, if turn the screen temp to cool it looks a bit brighter. I read somewhere Samsung reduced blue light from their display starting with the s10. Might be why display appears to be dimmer. Wish it wasn't capped at the very least. you pay 1k for a flagship phone and samsung does this smh.

Does Xiaomi Mi 10 Pro has the same screen problems like OnePlus 8 Pro?

Hello,
I have OnePlus 8 Pro and Oppo Find X2 Pro.
Under 5% screen brightness OnePlus has huge black crush.
They fixed it with beta DC patch, which makes colour accuracy hitting the floor.
Oppo has very small black crush on minimal brightness level.
Both Oppo and OnePlus have the same screen model (just differently calibrated - OnePlus has extremly vivid calibration just like S20 and Oppo has very good natural colour calibration) - but same problem:
between 5-10% screen brightness there is a step which is making everything tinted green.
You slide brightness from 1% to 10% and you will have colours like: ok ok GREEEEEEEN ok ok ok.
I won't accept 1k€ phone having such bad screen, so I am thinking about trying flagship Xiaomi,
can you go into complete dark room and slide brightness from 1% to 10 and tell me if the colours stays the same?
I also have S20 Ultra and iPhone 11 Pro Max - their screens are just perfect (iPhone has much warmer screen, very pleasing to human eye), but I don't like iOS and Samsung has pure garbage Exynos CPU in EU.
Interested as well
Any kind soul to check as per OP request?
Sent from my OnePlus8Pro using XDA Labs
I've tried it. Miu12 xiaomi.eu latest stable. No issues, screen colors remain very consistent. Let me also note that this phone/rom combination has a really good auto-brightness implementation. I've had numerous phones, this is the first one i never need to manually fiddle with brightness.
My only complaint about this phone (or miui) is its out of the box aggressive memory handling. Need to tune many settings of apps to not miss notifications.

Thank you for checking!
In the meantime I also discovered a fix for my Oppo screen problems -
there is an option called 'low brightness flicker-free eye comfort' and after turning it on the screen is perfect.
It is basically the same thing as OnePlus did (PWM/DC patch), but this one actually works,
while on OnePlus it fixes one thing and brake two others.
Long story short I'll be staying with find x2 pro, because of 12GB DDR5, 512GB UFS3 and
well baked ROM with good RAM management.
Have a nice day.
PS. Auto-brightness is indeed bad on Oppo, Samsung and OnePlus and it's great only on iPhone.
Another thing I'm missing with Oppo is wireless charging, but I'm OK with those issues.

Glass? back & screen brightness

So yesterday my N20 Ultra arrived from wondamobile (highly recommended, everything went smooth), and I'm quite happy.
I do have 2 questions though:
- Is the back really made of glass? Everyone says it is, but it feels completely different from my Oneplus 7 pro (and yes, I know for certain I don't have the non-ultra). The glass on my Oneplus feels cool to the touch, while the note doesn't. It also sounds different when you tap them with your nails.
- I heard this phone had the highest peak brightness of any screen. On the highest non-adaptive setting my Oneplus 7 Pro gets much brighter. Is this just Samsung limiting the max brightness, or is this a random difference in panel quality or something? I saw Lew from Unbox therapy also had potentially related questions about the display.
I made a return of my N9860 256gb. Compared to Note 9, theNote 20 ultra's brightness sucks! I order a new 512gb model. I hope will get luck with last one
These displays should be able to get very bright...

Firmware glitch it sounds like... bad Samsung
It isn't a Hardware fault. Samsung limited the manual max brightness limit to be like that , so you only get the full brightness in adaptive brightness mode under direct sunlight

So can you manually jack it up?
I never use adaptive brightness, lol it never worked right and still doesn't.
I don't want to kill my OLEDs or my eyes so typically it's at about the half way point or less on the 10+
The 20 U gets even brighter...
Using these devices in the sun is sort of asking for it.

Question [CLOSED] Redmi Note 11 Pro Plus AMOLED Display Problem

Hello,
I've been using Redmi Note 11 Pro plus for the past few days. I had been using a Samsung m30s before and compared to that the display experience in Redmi Note 11 Pro has been dull.
Last day I noticed something. I had tried using a completely black wallpaper and then I noticed how the black was not proper. Colour was leaching out through sides of display like a backlight bleed.
I had seen previous reports of a possible Redmi Note 11 Pro Display problem which made me do a display test on the phone. Then I noticed that this bleed like effect was present also for white as well as dark grey colors.
However these went away after I restarted my phone. So I wanted to know whether anyone else experienced this Redmi Note 11 Pro problem.
<Moderator Edit>: Self-promoting video link deleted.
This is a software issue that only occurs on MIUI. On custom roms this problem doesn't show up and the screen is completely black.
Probably a software issue, mine is noticeable when swiping the brightness while on the black screen test raging from 8 - 15% of brightness where I can see the bleeding
Hello I was planning on getting this phone (Redmi note 11 pro 5g) but after researching a bit I came across this thread. I heard this is an issue that affects both models. Is this an issue that affects only certain units or do most have amoled problems? Does this only show in 120hz mode? Thanks!

My device has no such problem. I generated a #00000000 image using an app and tried viewing it at max brightness in a dark room and the screen legit turns off. Its kinda freaky to see a display turn off when you know its on and expect some bleed. I come from lcd so thats what I expected. Needless to say I'm glad my model wasn't defective.

I have compared the Redmi Note 11 Pro Plus 5g (peux) with last years top model Redmi Note 10 Pro Max and this display seems to be more colorful and vibrant compared to last years model. That one seemed more washed out in the same display modes.

The issue is not present at 100% brightness. Try keeping the image, and play around with the brightness settings from 0 to 100. Then, you can notice that at certain percentages, the backlight bleeds quite heavily. In my device, it's at around 30-50. Some other users report that it's happening to them at 40-60.

Tried it and still fine.
I have the same problem with a redmi note 10 pro, with brightness between 0 an 19%
At 20% and more, the black si.. black

hi does this affect daily usage? I tend to use my phone a lot at night in bed so it would suck if the bleeding is that bad. How noticeable is it when watching content with dark scenes/backgrounds?

On my day to day usage, I find that it's not noticeable at all. However, If you're watching content that has pure black elements, it is very noticeable. It's inconvenient, but usually when it happens I just turn down the brightness a little bit and it's gone.
I wouldn't say it's a deal breaker, I still think the phone is a pretty good value, but buyers beware. There's some hope that it'll be fixed in an update at some point but I wouldn't hold my breath. Just be aware that your mileage may vary.
Is this an issue that is present on 60 or 120hz? Saw a couple of posts on other threads that say issue disappears on 60hz. Is it the same on yours?

The problem still persists regardless of whether or not I set 60 or 120hz. On my device, at least.
Guys, try this app called Oreo colorizer. This solves the issue.
It forces the display to shift its color space to DCI-P3 instead of the default sRGB according to the below XDA thread.
So the issue is software related. NOT HARDWARE. Hope Xiaomi solves this by updates in future.
[APP][Official][v1.1] Oreo Colorizer
Oreo Colorizer uses an invisible system overlay operating in wide color gamut that forces the display to shift its color space to DCI-P3 instead of the default sRGB. Optimized Rendering only affects apps that use SurfaceFlinger (IE: 99% of all...
