Is anybody else facing this problem?

Have you got the brightness set to automatic? I've seen that behaviour when I have it set but not when I don't.

It's not set on automatic
Noticed this when I first got the phone. It went away after a couple of system updates.
I guess it's about the refresh rate, i switched it to 60Hz and the flickering problem went away.
I noticed something similar on the latest open beta even though all the auto adjustment toggles have been switched off.
I fixed mine I guess. Flashed android 10 oos on both slots and used evira kernel. Dunno which one fixed it but so far no flickering or no changing of screen tone/colors.
It's the switch in refresh rate i think, I've been having it on Oxygen 10, don't think I've noticed it on Oxygen 11 beta
Perhaps yeah. but on OB1/a11 it's more noticeable for me so I switched back to the lastest OOS stable(a10) on both slots and running a custom kernel. No issues till now running 90hz.
I just put on the stable 21 and still getting it from time to time. Feels like it's more noticeable yellow tinge than before.

Hi all.
Is it me or the auto brightness of Pie works way worse compared to Oreo' one?
Too much bright inside, too much dark outside.
Just my impressions. Your thoughts?
Hints / Suggestions?

Definately worse that Oreo. The pie stable was just a rushed update
For me, the auto brightness initially was working on the extreme ends on pie, but after constantly adjusting it to suit my needs, adaptive brightness has worked it's magic and now for me works exactly as I'd want it to work.

Do you mean it is an official documented / mentioned feature the fact that leaving adaptive brightness on and still manually correct it, will lead in time to system recognizing your needs and slowly adjust accordingly?
Or is it something we're just guessing?

It is something that I have experienced after the update to pie.
The Pie update is just a friggin mess. Horrible brightness, time zone changing, bank apps not working, future alarm notifications, awful interface with the info cards and pull down menu notifications, websites loading strange, developer options nested in another settings menu, less options in the settings area, phone dialer button is green... I rolled back to 5.1.11 because of all the hassle.
And yes, I have bug reports and yes, I even tried it with a full wipe and fresh flash of 9.0. Between Google's design choices and the bugs, Pie is awful.
It has always been really bad for me.... Too dark all the time.... it doesn't really respond accurately and fast enough....

WTF ls the point have having Auto brightness if you need to set it manually for a little while? This is just a bad excuse for a poorly see everyone's feature. Nobothern9honebhas this issue and even on Oreo it wasn't an issue

Go and read about it, ask google. I think now its called adaptive auto brightbess or smntg like that, just use it adjusting just will help it for auto feature to give the best screen brightness. Not everyone sees the same in the same light conditions. So this new adaptive brightness in pie is aiming to that. By adjusting it to your needs how u see it better in different light conditions it just helps phone to learn about everyones different vision/seeing levels.
But it just my opinionl

I have read about it and apparently it's a WIP. Doesn't make sense to put a WIP feature in a stable build. Don't get me wrong I love the OP6 and the pie release is ok but it was very much rushed out. They should have taken there time and released a pie build that was perfect. Beta builds should be used to make changes and fixes.
Anyone else has this? In automatic brightness mode it keeps on fluctuation randomly: https://youtu.be/cySme6BFodQ
Any way how I can solve this? Thanks.

Try going to the display settings and switching on anti-flicker.
It could also be a problem with your screen protector if you're using one.
Thank you. I turned on anti flicker but no difference. Everything worked fine before Android 10 with the same screen protector.
it changes brightness even tho the light around you didnt change?
Yes that is correct.
The last system update fixed the issue.
Vivo firmware 8.10.1
Automatic brightness brewery all the time to manual for me... It's boring and horrible.
No new update here... Then nothing is fixed.
Actually I will make a macro to check if automatic brightness is on, if brightness =!on then switch automatic brightness =on with a repeat value like 10/15 minutes...
Wait for a fix
Hello I received an update to version 8.10.5 yesterday there is an improvement in the automatic brightness processing logic that could solve the problem. Battery performance improves 25% after 10 hours.
@siegie65
Thx for feedback, i will wait patiently update because i become crazy, and battery improvement can be resurrection of mobile.
Cheers
How did you get the update?
@RicksonNL
I think they push update by wave like all the time to stop if bug appear. Maybe you are like in last wave... ? ?
Hello update came OTA but I have to say that I have the Chinese version PD1805 A if you have the international PD1805 F I don't know if and when an update will come.
Answer from Vivo Global: The version is under grayscale test, you will get it in the near further.
I have just realised that my device, which I have only had for 2 days, is stuck on 60hz refresh rate and I can't manually change it back to 120hz in display settings. When I press on it in display settings it just doesn't do anything - ie it doesn't open the screen with the bouncing balls and the 2 options. Does anyone know how to fix this? It definitely worked before but I got a MIUI update yesterday and I wonder if that has broken it. According to my settings I am running Global 12.0.2 Stable.
I just noticed that my Pixel 4 XL (currently has the newest Android 12/November patch) does not cycle between 60 and 90 hz anymore. I just noticed an unexpectated and new drain on the battery and finally found the culprit.
Yes, I checked developer options, the phone is NOT forcing 90hz. I checked with developer options (show refresh rate) and the phone is constantly, meaning 100% using 90hz, it never changes to 60. No matter what I do - Youtube, phone, scrolling, doing nothing, idling, homescreen, newspaper app, Audible - it matters not. It is constantly forcing 90hz WITHOUT having ever clicked the 90hz force toggle. This is putting a drain on the battery that is just unacceptable.
Can you guys confirm this?
Try clearing the system cache.
A factory reset maybe be needed after a major OTA firmware upgrade but there's no guarantee it will resolve it.
Updates tend to break things...

The phone was - actually - already factor reset. After doing the Android 12 update, I factory reset it and gave it to a family member, that one set it up new. So it's not a "remnant" of Android 11.

I would re-flash with the latest full image, leaving the script intact (allowing the data partition to be wiped). This may be inconvenient but it's the only way you will know if there is a hardware issue with the phone. I'd also like to know what led you to the refresh rate. In other words, what made you look there. The stock battery monitor is not very good and even looking at system apps (screen, ambient display) you only get time and a percentage of the battery.
is the same on 12 and 11, i just installed 11 and is always 90hz
yes i can confirm, i had the same issue and i just boght my pixel 4 xl 10 days ago. updated to android 13 beta now and it still has the same problem. really weird but i think that google just decided that its best for google pixel 4 owners to have 90hz all the time now cause u know its "more common" now
Google changed how Smooth display works during the cycle of the phone. IIRC it was the same on A11 too. Basically the only time it goes 60hz is during battery saving mode & in some specific apps that prohibit it. It also disables it when HBM is on.
That doesn't make a lot of sense, you can save much more energy by just raising to 90hz for touch and animations and otherwise reduce to 60hz independently of the battery state.
I had the pixel 7 Pro for a while and can confirm that it works there as expected (60 for static content & no touch events, otherwise raises up to 120hz), just not for the pixel 4 XL.
This does seem like a bug to me and explains why battery life (SOT) got so much worse. I wonder if it's an intended degradation to get people to upgrade..
Fix it with adb, set minimal refresh rate
adb shell settings put system min_refresh_rate 1.0
adb shell settings put system peak_refresh_rate 90.0
Tested that, does not work either unfortunately. Display stays on 90Hz all the time

Confirm you have extra dim disabled, and brightness 60%
Confirmed, does not make a difference
Out of nowhere it started working. The only thing I changed in between is brightness and extra dim, ending up with the same setting as before (full brightness, extra dim disabled). Didn't work straight away, but after leaving the phone for 5 minutes and picking it up again, I immediately noticed (display refresh rate setting was still enabled)
Thank you for your help, Hamid!

No problem, glad i helped!
Feel free to visit my optimization threads, it might help improve your battery life and performance.
One last remark: It didn't really work well at first, at least not as consistently as on the pixel 7 that I've tried. After some trial and error, playing around with various settings, the culprit seems to have the "increase touchscreen sensitivity" setting that I had enabled. Since turning it off, the switching between 60 and 90Hz is much better. Brightness and extra dim don't seem to play a role.
Battery life also seems to have improved a lot (now at ~50% at the end of the day compared to <20% before)
-There were a few updates in the last few months that fixed the slowness of the phone, but it seems the recent update did 'break' something and the phone is slow now (lagging) again.
-In other words, whatever I do almost on any app, it stutters or works sluggishly. Even google maps freezes or works in a non-responsive way. It feels like very first Galaxies..
-Also, the screen is flickering when it's super bright or sunny outside. (I already tried to disable adaptive brightness). Nothing did change.

What would you suggest fixing the above problems?Because I'm considering switching to another brand if those issues persist. I have been having similar issues almost with every update...
a hard reset might help?
My S21+ also started flickering since the last update in Bright sunlight. It's almost as if the screen keeps going yellow - white - yellow - white even with auto brightness off and adaptive colors and such all disabled.

I fixed the flickering at least. Go to apps, select device health services, storage, bottom left manage storage, clear all data. That resets auto brightness levels and fixed the flickering for me in direct sunlight.

I did the same now. Will try in the sun next time.
Also, I noticed the phone works slightly faster?
Interesting. Thank you!
