Weird issues with screen brightness - Google Pixel 3 Questions & Answers

Smaller Pixel 3.
Brightness randomly changes in fixed light setting. It's very subtle but enough to be annoying, especially visible when viewing content on white background.
Another weird issue I'm seeing occasionally is the brightness changing as a result of scrolling through content - happens in Chrome and other apps too. Not sure if it's related to the first issue. Turning off adaptive brightness doesn't seem to fix it.
Anyone else seeing this? I'm wondering if I should go for RMA or if this is a software issue.

I just received my phone, and noticed this the first night. It is very subtle, almost undetectable, but I noticed that turning the brightness up diminished the effect.

A different screen brightness problem

Hi all
I've had my tf300 for a few days now, and I have a different kind of screen brightness problem. When watching movies or looking at pictures, they often look like they've been recorded/taken with very strong lighting like very strong sunlight. The effect isn't influenced by the brightness settings on the tablet, high or low the effect is still visible. The first tf300 I had did the same thing, so I returned it, figuring it was a problem with that particular tablet, but the second one does the same thing.
I've "solved" the issue by downloading screen adjuster from marketplace and setting the brightness setting in that app to 70% or less. Apparently that app adjusts a different screen brightness than the one the built in one does, because by using that screen brightness adjustment the effect disappears.
Anyway I was wondering how widespread this issue is - if it might be an actual defect or ASUS just screwing up the brightness settings of the screen.
Regards

[Q] Screen dimming lag

There an issue I've been noticing recently. When the screen returns to normal brightness from being dim, there is extreme lag. this also happens when it goes from full brightness to dim. Has anyone else noticed this issue and is there a solution? I was hoping that this wasn't an issue with my phone specifically.

Screen Brightness Problem

Has anybody else experienced their screens changing brightness randomly?
I have mine set to full brightness and it will randomly get slightly dimmer for a few seconds up to a minute before going back to the original brightness.
It's sorta hard to notice unless you're looking at an image with a lot of white (Play Store, webpages, etc.)
My first N5, which I RMA'd for other defects, also did this.
Any guesses if it's a software or hardware issue?
Derp, just found this thread that answers my question: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2516915

Always On Display too dim in dark rooms (Due to auto dimming)?

Now that I've had my phone for a couple of days I've noticed that the Always On Display automatically dims when you enter a dark room, and becomes much brighter when exposed to light. The problems is that it's too dark to be particularly useful when it's dimmed. I've searched, but can't find a way to adjust the level of brightness for the AOD.
Anyone else noticing this problem? Anyone aware of a method or an app which can remedy it?
Thanks!
Mines is the other way around 95% of the time the screen is very bright to me.
I wish there was a setting for it but i cant find one.

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.
