We were all waiting for the new update to come but Once more Samsung has manage to destroy some things
One of them is screen auto light adjustment... At least at Exynos version
Before the update you could just adjust the bar wherever you like and then with one off - on to auto switch you have return to full auto light adjustment...
Now this is impossible
With auto on if you move the bar this setting is saved like the ideal auto lighting condition and stays that way...that means that auto lighting is working good but from the base of your previous adjustment and not full stock auto.. If you deactivate and activate again the auto switch nothing happens because of the previous "saved condition"
So that means that you can't go back to full stock auto lighting conditions...
That's to bad and it has to be really fast a new update to fix this issue...

That's actually how it works on stock Android.
I have found another disappointment change... YouTube app... The end of side to side full screen video play...if you choose to cut video for full screen it will only full up and down sides but unfortunately will leave huge black bazels to left and right (landscape view) to this beautiful bazzelless device... This is too disappointed...
UPDATE
After clean installation of YouTube app everything works OK again...
It's strange because before the clean installation I had exactly the same version with the new one with totally different interface (it was the same as my Xperia z4 tablet)
Same issue, also Exynos variant, with auto brightness and YouTube app here in Romania after the same updated. Reinstalling the YouTube app will help but only for a couple of minutes, because after that some kind of update is coming via the app it self and the full screen mode is messed up again.
Regarding Auto brightness: For me, the new behavior is the one I want and expect. I hope, it stays that way.
I have this same problem!
Poland, Exynos.

I have found a solution with YouTube app...if you don't sing in to your acount then you will never have full screen problem again...
I think that has something to do with the same version of YouTube to second devices like tablet... Because when I'm singed with both devices (s8+ & Xperia z4 tablet) I m always having problems with full screen faction... If I say unsigned then it works as it should be.... Strange things....
auto brightness problem
Same problem here too. I'm from Bulgaria, Exynos version. Any solutions ?

Just got my GNote today. I've had a Thinkpad Tablet for almost a year, and let's just say the GNote is already making me much happier.
I opened it and applied the firmware update. I've been playing around, and have found one annoying bug: Whenever I open or select S-Note the screen changes to maximum brightness. It doesn't matter whether I am opening the app from initial, or just switching back to an open S-Note through the open task selector. The screen goes to full brightness.
But, the settings bar for brightness does not change. When I pull up the menu by tapping the clock, the brightness bar will still say it is at the lowest brightness setting. When I touch the stylus to the slider at the lowest brightness setting, the screen immediately dims.
I've tried turning "Auto" brightness on and off, and have also looked for some obscure setting in S-Note. No luck.
Anyone else having this issue, or have a solution? It sounds minor, but when working in a dim room its a real shock to the eyes every single time I open S-Note.
Thanks,
JCHP
I'm not seeing that issue running S Note here and did the update earlier today but it was through Kies with a 1GB+ file instead of over-the-air ~50MB or so file.
Update: Ok, I see the issue now when you open a note within S Note.
I noticed this also. Like if i have browser on. Then do multiscreen and choose s note, the brightness will increase dramatically. Nothing major. Just noticed that also.

Weird. This is not happening to me either. Try going into Applications and clearing S Note data and cache then reboot.

The brightness I creases after you go into s note and choose a note. If i close the note or multiscreen, the brightness goes back to how I set it. You won't see the slider change. The brightness just increases on its own at that time.
I do have the latest update Installed.
I tried it and I also got the same result. Although, the brightness change occurs only when opening a note. In the S-Note "homescreen", where you choose which note you want, the brightness is the same as the requested setting I put.

Yes-- this is my issue exactly.
The slider is what makes me think this is a bug and not a feature: It doesn't change, although the brightness does. But, if I tap the slider at the point where it is, then the screen will dim to my preferred level, and I can work in the note at that dimmed brightness... until I switch to another app and come back, at which point the brightness again changes.
Its only an issue in dim lighting. I can see me making notes in my bed at night and swearing every time the screen suddenly brightens...
I've encountered the same thing. The update must have screwed something up.

There is no change in brightness on mine when I open or close S Note.
Having the same issue
I am having the same issue as well. Has anyone called Samsung customer service or reported this issue? This is extremely annoying. It started after the update. It was working just fine before.
I am having a similar issues with my S3. I will unlock my phone and sometimes I find the screen is really bright. I go into my settings and look at the brightness slider and it's set at 60%. As soon as I tap the brightness slider and my screen re dims back to the correct brightness. Had me thinking weather or not this is a hardware or software issue.
I am 90% sure it's software in my case Still annoying.
have the same issue. In meetings it turns up and I have to waste my battery, no time to change the slider.
This issue reminds of my problems with the my Lenovo TPT when in "always on" mode.
They fixed it, but i took until the 3th update...
Tell Samsung early enough so they may fix it soon, I know how annoying and painful it can get at night, I really disliked this issue.
Same issue. Any solution.?

same issue here , i have N8000 and when I bought it comes with Germany rom but without this bug, when i Change it to the Offical United Arab Emarits i have this bug I tried to find any soulation but no way it really annoying ...... so anybody !!!!!
really annoying
Just bought the tablet today and noticed the exact issue. I also noticed the same issue and what I did to fix the problem was to select the system tray (bottom right) and remove the auto checkbox and keep the brightness to full.
Hope that helps!
same thing. s note goes to maximum brightness (same with the camera app. too). a bit annoying but still in alive =) hopefully they fix both of them.
Reported it to samsung and...
Well I complained to Samsung about this and they told me it sounded like a bad installation of the firmware, which i dont really think its the case because I've had this bug since I bought it and because many people have it too. Anyways they told me to reset to factory settings and if the problem was still there to send the tablet to some address... but I dont really want to reset factory settings because i would lose all my app data and Im not rooted as to just make a backup with Titanium...
anyway just putting out there if someone is brave enough to reset to factory settings (maybe someone who just bought it) and tell us what happens I would be grateful
Note Pro
Same issue here on note pro 12.2. Really annoying. Anybody solve this problem?
Hello guys I'm pretty new with samsung
I have a GT-N8010 and there's significant screen flickering problem!!
I searched for some info
Afterwards, i tried to force stop and uninstall some 5h1t app from the device but the problem is still here
The problem was quite minor in the first few month, it raerly happen and could be recover immediately by turning off and on the screen again. But it was not tolerable these days as it wont recover by that and keep getting more and more serious like crazy colour changing and i cant easilly find a way to stop it :'(
What should I do to fix it??
I dont care if I have to root it or something, just hope i dont have to format the as i use the S-Note for copying lecture notes and i dont want to lose them (maybe i should backup with Kies to prevent that)
Yes, the main function of this 10.1 is to copy notes and it cant even serve well here, hope if someone could help me
(I have some experience on flashing different roms and mods on Sony devices, so maybe i can handle some on samsung as well)
Did you install an auto brightness app?

No, sometimes I use auto brightness app but it's the stock option on settings
Wrong settings of auto brightness apps can cause flickers.
An obsolete / out of date auto brightness apps can also cause flickers.

I'm using the stock auto brightness in settings
Over the couple of months, many Moto G4 Plus owners have been complaining about the screen burn issue.
Well there wasn't a fix for this through software except Blue Light Filter (which didn't work for me), and while trying for the fix, I feel I have found one.
Prerequisites:
1. Android Nougat (7.0) (I am running on the stock NPJ25.93-14 i.e the 1st December 2016 Security Patch)
2. System UI Tuner enabled.
No Root Needed.
My device is the Indian variant XT1643 i.e 2GB RAM variant.
For those who are on Android Marshmallow CM based Custom ROM, you can try using the live display and setting the value nearby 3000~3500K (Although I am not sure if this would work since I haven't tried it yet).
Its the Night Mode!
1. Go download the "Night Mode Enabler" app from the Play Store --> https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=org.michaelevans.nightmodeenabler&hl=en
2. Open it and click on "Enable Night Mode".
3. It will take you to System UI Tuner where you can toggle night mode on/off.
4. Go to the quick settings edit option, and you will see a new tile - "Night Mode".
Toggle on the night mode and see the effect after some time (it started to show effect as soon as I enabled it and fixed the issue within 20 minutes for me).
[Q]. What will happen if I toggle off night mode?
[A]. The Screen burn will occur once again.
You need to have the Night Mode to be always on in order to get rid of that Screen Burn issue.
I know that many might not like the color temperature of Night Mode, so if you have a CM based ROM, you can edit the temperature with "Live Display" option.
Well, try it out and lets see if it works or not!

First of all, thank you for sharing this.
But your "fix" is just a workaround and not a proper fix for our broken displays.
The only real fix is to replace the display.

Umm, I guess you are right. I have changed the title now.
Even screen replacement is not a permanent solution. I have replaced display and within 3 weeks issue reoccurred
It fixed the issue
The night mode enabler has fixed the issue for now. But the screen is of some weird color(especially white background).
Anyways, Its good to see my phone screen without the screen burn issue after such a long time.
Thanks
RGB calibration is the best fix for screen burn in !
unfortunately if u r on stock rom ,Then you have to root ur device .

Anybody facing the green tint issue?I got the RMX2071(china rom) and the version of A21.I set the brigtness to about 25percent and turned the dark mode on.The black screen is quite green at the right side of the display when in the chrome goolge search page and google keep note blank page.I am not so sure whether this is coz of ota update or factory error.If u havent test yet,try that and plz reply me.Wish they can fix with ota update :crying:
I'm running EU (A.28) version and I haven't noticed that. However, I find that with low brightness, my lockscreen display crushes colours together and is annoying. Presumably because it's an OLED Panel, grey's look more purple with low brightness. And with high brightness, they boost the colour saturation as of a max limit of screen brightness and this is really really annoying too.

I have RMX2071, and I'm on Chinese stock ROM too. It came with A.14, I upgraded it via OTA to A.20 and than a few days later to A.21. I am using dark mode too and low brightness, but haven't noticed anything like you describe.

I could only see it when the ambient light is low also.May be my phone is only defected.Thanks for your info.
I have some wierd issue for a long time ( op9 pro ox 13) afte
when i open the default cam app usaly when there is light(sun) outside after one shot the screen get dark and i cannot see nothing, the light sensor is set to manual, the only way i can restore it to normal its to press to home button and again the cam app
is there any option when i read not to lock the phone ?
how can i disable this thing ??
Do you have the same problem if you set the screen brightness to automatic? If you are rooted and have magisk modules, try disabling all of it and see if this helps.
automatic is making the screen almost all the time darker ( outside)
Ok, I have no idea. I don't have this problem and the fact no one else has responded, chances are this problem is unique to you. Only other suggestion I have is to reach out to OnePlus and see what they say or send it it a service center if you have one in your area.
