Is there any way to disable PWM on Galaxy S8?
Or any workaround for it available like a black filter?
My eyes are sensitive to PWM that AMOLED displays use..
Disable pwm on the s8
Did you ever find a way to disable the pwm on the s8?
When you go from a bright room to a dark room with a dark background on your phone do you notice the auto dimming is rough like it staggers almost flickers?

Hi guys, quick question when adjusting my brightness slowly on a darkish background I can see my screen pulsing. It goes bright dim bright dim as it's dimming the screen. Can someone here go into a dark area and test if there unit does the same?
Anyone?
screen brightness repeatedly changing itself in constant light conditions, bug or feature?

Is it possible your obscuring the light with your hand or fingers causing the phone to constantly adjust to what it thinks is changing light conditions?

its possible, if the sensor is on the bottom bezel. never had this issue w/ my n4,5,5x, or p1 though.
My problem is more that the brightness doesn't adjust itself enough. If I'm on auto-brightness and in a pitch black room, my phone blinds me because it doesn't adjust.
What is everyone else using for display settings? I've enabled 'Adaptive brightness' but it's doesn't adjust very well. I prefer not to have to go to something 3rd party like Lux.
Mine micro adjusts in a dark room it's not terrible but it's enough to be annoying while reading because it grabs your attention. More noticeable on white backgrounds.
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 curious. How many of you are seeing screen-burn in on your phones?
I use CF.Lumen to adjust the screen to be warmer at night. I notice some darker areas/burn-in with CF.Lumen enabled and the screen brightness dimmed to super low levels (using CF.Lumen's built-in darkness slider for Sleep mode)
What I notice is a sort of dark spot at very low brightness, and a sort of dark shadowy line running down the screen close to the left side. It's kinda annoying but I really only see it when I have text on the screen (and I'm trying to read text) at lower-than-stock dimness levels. I'm slowly getting used to it. At first I panicked thinking that my screen had burned in already at a few months of use, but when I have CF.Lumen off and I have the stock brightness slider set all the way to 0, I don't notice any lines or weird dark spots.
Then again, 0 brightness using the stock brightness slider is still VERY bright if you're coming from iOS's Accessibility settings. Android has poor screen filter settings and few good screen filter apps outside CF.Lumen and f.lux and I doubt Android 12 will change that.
So, are any of you experiencing screen burn-in? OLED burn-in is something that always has me worried. I try to avoid OLED phones for this reason, because I'm paranoid.
OLEDs have a finite lifespan. The brighter they burn, the shorter they last.
The higher energy blue emitters have the shortest life span, while red the longest.
Darker screen wallpaper, dark mode and less white icons/headers helps reduce wear.
Use manual brightness control and avoid going over 50% whenever possible. Don't use in direct sunlight... this is a killer.
Move icons and widgets periodically on the homescreen. Avoid prolonged white screen viewing and apps that are dark mode illiterate.
These practices also increase battery life substantially.
Use Screen Test to see if any damage is present.
After over 1.5 years of heavy usage and one battery replacement, my AMOLED display on my Note 10+ shows no signs of damage. How you use it day to day/what you view with it makes a big difference in display longevity.
Hey everyone, is there any rom that can enable DC Dimming on the Pixel 7 Pro? I don't mind sacrificing on color accuracy but I really would appreciate DC Dimming on it as the screen flickers at really low 240hz frequency and gives me eye strains and headaches.
Thankyou!
afaik you can download a screen dimming app and reduce the brightness with it, should have the same effect since official implementations take the same approach. the only thing that won't be affected though are some system overlays (notifications, lock screen, statusbar icons)
