Screen auto rotation bug - Sony Xperia 5 II Questions & Answers

Has anynone noticed on his/hers Xperia 5 II that the screen doesn't want to auto rotate every time you rotate the phone?
I have enabled it in display settings/quick actions but it doesn't want to work every time. It even sometimes freezes in one position (be it portrait or landscape) and it won't leave that position no matter how you turn the phone. I have also checked my accelerometer in factory tests and it works fine.

Same to me.
Sometimes the problem is the time that it takes to rotate.
I checked that a restart fix it.
Seems to be a software issue.

Yes, it happens sometimes, obviously a software problem.

[Q] SNote screen brightness

I've a little problem. Whenever I open a note, the screen become too bright, despite of the auto brightness settings. When I close it, the brightness return to normal. It's really annoying. Have you met this problem yet ?
Use display brightness it is preventing fro this situation.

Yararli, can you please elaborate on how it fixes the problem? On my note the screen brightness goes up regardless of any settings. Did you have to adjust it manually every time? Thanks!
I did nothing about it only adjusting the tool into not opaque my tablet is 4.1.1

Auto brightness issue

Hi everyone. I'm experiencing problems with the auto brightness, I set it at half but it often gets much brighter for a couple of seconds then scales down to where I put it. After a while back over again. This happens in the same exact position and low light condition. Doesn't happen with higher brightness demands. Tried to toggle off every screen auto feature (like ambient display,...) but nothing changes. Tried adjusting both auto level and non-auto level, thought it might conflict, but all to no avail. Got any clues? Thanx

S7 screen issue

I have a small problem with S7 flat (Exynos). Sometimes when I turn on the screen it does something like small blink and then it turns on normally. Is this normal? It's hard to notice but I've made video on which you should be able to see what I mean (20-22 sec).

yeah me too sometimes...
And If I use very low brigthness the display have a strange behavior ...
It's the auto brightness adjusting, the auto brightness is a annoying feature even if u turn it off there's still a secondary one Samsung calls adaptive screen or some bullcrap

display staying on

Ok so have noticed another issue with my phone that I can't say happens every time but more often than I would like and enough for me to notice.
It seems that when my phone gets a notification be it a Google notification (weather/news etc) or email or face book etc my screen wakes up (which is fine by me) but then stays illuminated. It stays this way until I read/swipe it away.
This is more noticeable at night when it's on charge and I happen to wake and find the screen is illuminated still.
I have checked and the option to "wake screen when notification comes in " is switched off so it's not this.
Anyone else have an issue like this/noticed this?
Yes, I have exactly the same issue. It consistently does this when charging, and unplugging the charger allows the lock screen to fade out, as it should always do.
Haven't had this issue on my device & I can't seem to replicate it, but hopefully it's fixed with the August update as a saw a few users have reported this to the ColorOS community
I have this issue, very annoying. Any fix?

Someone reported that it's related to the Google Clock app. It is annoying and I've also reported this to the Color OS community. Several times I've woken up to find my screen on and if my device suffers screen burn-in because of this, I shall be making a warranty claim due to a software issue and being not fit for purpose! I am not in a position to uninstall G Clock as I rely on it for several assistant routines associated with my alarm. This issue needs to be fixed, along with several others!

Touch lag issue when using Adaptive smooothness

I got my Note 20 Ultra back on November and encountered an annoying issue when Adaptive refresh rate is turned on and watching YouTube videos. When YouTube first starts the display will run at 120hz, but after a few seconds it will drop to 60hz. When the refresh rate drops, the first touch of the screen is interpreted as a touch and hold instead of a single press. The display will then jump back to 120hz, but the display still thinks I'm pressing and holding the screen when I've already let go. If I then touch the screen again while in 120hz the phone thinks I've done a double tap (presumable completing the first tap and then immediately registering the second tap), which causes the video to seek forward or backward, depending on where I pressed on the screen the second time. If I tap the screen the one time but allow the screen to drop back to 60hz after it jumps to 120hz from the first tap, then the first tap seems to be ignored as my second tap acts like a tap and hold again.
What's interesting is that as long as the display stays at 120hz, all taps after the scenario above work fine. A single tap will open the playback overlay (pause/play button, seek arrows, etc) like it's supposed to, but once I leave the display alone and it drops to 60hz this whole problem starts all over again. Since adaptive refresh is tied to the brightness sensor, this problem does not present itself in a dark room since the display stays at 120hz in a dark room. Also, if I turn off adaptive refresh rate and have the display stay at 60hz all the time then the problem is not present either. I also will occasionally get non responsiveness on Brave Browser but I can't say for sure if they are related.
This has frustrated me so much I did a factory reset and interestingly the issue did not re-appear at first with a fully updated YouTube. Once I updated/installed other apps (including Galaxy store apps) the problem returned. I don't have display overlay apps installed, so I suspect it's a Galaxy store app but I can't pinpoint which one. I don't believe this is a hardware issue, so I'm curious if anyone on the thread has had a similar issue. I'd like to report this to Samsung but I have no idea where to even report this.
Sounds like you've figured it's a software program. You should update one at a time and see if you can pinpoint the issue. Try to not to install 3rd party software until all you need to update gets updated and phone is working fine.
Or
I would say try using a package disabler and try disabling the apps you suspect to see if any improvements. It might not be a Samsung app as others would be facing the same issue you're having.
As always don't restore settings/app data from backup etc other than media, messages, logs.
I'm using adaptive and everything is working fine on my end. Snapdragon variant here. Albeit I keep a number of Samsung apps disabled as i don't use or need them running in background for no reason.

Can you provide a list of apps which you have disabled through adb?
have you tried diff version of youtube that can help

I use package disabler pro bought from their website. It gives me a great on demand enable/disable option.
My use case might be a bit different from yours as I have about 160 packages disabled at a given time. I guess I can provide a list and you chose what you want from it.
I'll try uninstalling apps again to see if the problem can be resolved that way. On the latest version of Youtube it worked fine before I started installing more apps. I kind of don't want to do a full factory reset but if I have to so I can narrow that my be my only option. I'm wondering if there is another software I can run on my phone to see if any apps are interfering with the display or adaptive refresh rate?
I ended up doing a factory reset on my phone. The issue went away for the most of the day but returned again by night time. Same issue - when at 120hz and drops to 60hz the issue is present. It's not just Youtube, it's on any app, including the home screen. The first tap is always interpreted as a tap and hold, so single tapping an app icon brings up the tap and hold menu, and single tapping on the home screen brings up the home screen customization screen. Another test I did was turn off auto brightness, then turn my brightness down to the lowest setting. After that the display stayed at 120hz and the issue did not return until I either set the brightness up manually or turn auto brightness back on. I also tried in safe mode, and the issue was not present there either, but I can't tell if the device every went into 120hz or not since all 3rd party apps are disabled. At this point I have no idea what it is. The app setup was fine during the day, no new apps were installed, but the issue returned. Seems like I have no choice to but turn adaptive smoothness off and leave it at 60hz.
Just to add a little more interesting information here. I had someone else use the refresh rate monitor app on their Note 20 ultra (Tmobile variant), and their display operates differently than my Verizon variant. On the Tmo variant, when the screen drops to 60hz and the screen is tapped, the refresh rate drops to below 60 (12, 34, 48, etc) but then goes back up to 120hz after the app opens. Mine just goes immediately to 120hz and then gets that tap-and-hold behavior. So clearly the screens software or firmware is behaving differently here. I'm wondering if we have any other Verizon variant Note 20 Ultra users on this forum that could also test?
