I noticed this too the first couple days but I think it has settled down over time. What software version are you on?

The latest 8.1... Forgot to mention it is when Adaptive display is active.
*Doh* I did mention that in the subject ?

Auto screen brightness

Is anyone else having issues with the auto screen brightness? I'm in bed now with all the lights off and my screen is at it's brightest. As far as I can remember, the screen has never gone dim for me. I have always had to do it manually.

Same problem here.

Mine seems to work. I always thought it worked based on where the bar is set prior to the checkmark.

I use Quick Settings to adjust the brightness. The auto on this phone definitely isn't working correctly.
Mine works just fine. Dim when it's bright around me, bright when it's dark around me.

I feel like mine does change some, but it never seems like it's a really accurate change to the condition... or maybe I just think it does, hmm.

That's backwards. You want the brightness down when it's dark, because less light is needed to see the screen, and up when it's light, because more brightness is needed to see the screen.
I as well have had issues with the auto brightness. It never seems to change. I manually set it, or leverage a widget.
Mine works but it adjusts too frequently. It was annoying to see it going brighter and dimmer every minute or two so I tuned it off and use a widget.
Thanks, Robrecht

Glad to see I'm not crazy and imagining things. Very surprised at how many little quirks HTC let slip by on the thunderbolt.

I have always disliked auto-brightness. At night when I'm reading a book in bed, it is just way too bright at the lowest auto-bright setting. Though it was nice to automatically brighten up when I'm outside. Now days, I just stick an Android power control on the home screen and manage it myself. 0% for when I'm in bed reading books, 30% for normal every day use, 100% for when I'm outside. It seems to help the battery quite a bit too.
Its best to adjust it manually anyways... Just add a widget on your home screen lolz
What's best is not always whats preferred. It's little things like auto not working that make me miss my cyanogen'd droid 1

Yes.. take off the auto brightness, adjust it to full then enable auto again. I noticed this today on 2 out of the 5 devices I sold. Odd glitch. Let me know if this helps. Hope your enjoying this amazing piece of hardware!!!!

capacitive buttons

Hi. Are the buttons supposed to light up? Mine don't. Is this normal?
They light up on mine.
It does look like it is controlled by the light sensor.

More specifically only in certain light conditions. The buttons rely on the light sensor to tell them when to light up.

They do light up in low light conditions. Atleast they do on my HOS.

Any way of stopping them lighting at night? Reason I ask is I use Gentle Alarm and when 'Night Display' is enabled they will remain on even when in Night Display mode I press the power button off then on and they still come on? Not had the problem on other phones.

There should be an app in the market or online called led hack to disable them

Don't think it's on the market these days? I have found a copy but need to be rooted - but thanks for suggestion. I'll root at some point but my One S may need to be returned as currently in discussions with HTC over mobile network reception.

S8 plus slow motion stuttering - Flickering

Hi everyone i just noticed today that slow motion video in low light condition stutters a lot. Is anyone else experiencing the same please do report
Here's the sample

Those are your light fixtures. Similar to recording LEDs with slowmotion, you will see them flicker on and off.
Your lights are turning on and off multiple times a second, you cannot see it.

You are totally right. This problem was on the s7 as well.
Hope Samsung solves this problem in future updates which well never happen ?

This isn't a "problem" it's part of how light bulbs work, and how slow motion works. In your house, your lights flicker like that, just fast enough that we can't detect it with the human eye. Slow motion slows this down, which you can then see.

Yours isn't doing what theirs was. Theirs STUTTERS, literally loses frames, yours is doing what it's supposed too. Never losing frames. Just capturing the lights flicking on and off. Again, I know what I am talking about.

Okay my bad i am not trying to proof anything. But what i see and read it's seems to be a common issue .
Edited.
Sorry I was driving and i replied to you i wasn't clear. So you are saying that the light bulbs are flashing at a similar speed to the camera shutter which is making it flash the Low frequency HZ cause the problem am i right?

That is correct.
The video you linked is not losing/dropping frames.
If you want it not to flash, use incandescent bulbs. (They do not switch on and off repeatedly.)

My S8+ has stutter / lag on slow motion mode since upgrade to Oreo. It had too much OTA Upgrade but that has not been fixed.
Is there any idea?

Display color issue with night mode on

Does anyone have any issues with the color being darker on the middle of the screen horizontally, when night mode is turned on and with low brightness? I had issues with 9.5.3 and now on 9.5.7. 9.5.4 did not have the same issue.

I don't ever use night mode myself, but perhaps this is worth a shot... Check out the "OnePlus Laboratory" settings menu and turn on the experimental DC dimming (or perhaps it's on already and you need to turn it off?). This is totally a shot in the dark though.
