After updating to 14.1.G.2.257, I have noticed a drop in the brightness to an extent that the screen is not viewable in sunlight. The "Adapt to lighting conditions" is on. I was able to view the screen comfortable outside before the update on the same settings.
Has anyone else encountered this same problem?

I experienced that the "Adapt to lighting conditions" function isn't as good. When I turn it of, it's as bright as before. I like to manage that manually anyway so... You don't give much information so I'm not sure if you've tried this, but I guess that's the first thing people do.

What I notice, as a new owner as of latest version (so cannot tell about prev version), is that the auto brightness range is almost null.
I tested the light sensor in service menu and it is working, but the brightness of the screen does not chnage much from DARK to FULL LIGHT.
Also, if auto brightness is enabled, why the brightness slider in the quick controls?

Sony have advised me to do a repair using PCC and see if that makes a difference. I will try that over the weekend and report back.
This is how bright it is compared to Note

Battery Saving
I guess they didn't want too much battery drain. So what are the benefits of this update? Do they outweigh the need for the firmware upgrade? We'll as soon as it's rooted and flashed with custom then all this will be fine. It's just a waiting game now.

Well, i found that having -2.0 thru -1.0 EV actually speeds up the camera quite a bit. now it depends what type of lighting your in, but atleast now some interior enviroments are faster!
o and also put the white balance on the moon or the light, the picture usually looks best then.
you might notice in the picture i have it set at the smallest resolution, that has nothing to do with this, it was just an accident it was set to that.

sorry, what do you mean -2.0 thru -1.0 EV? I would like to try it
I'm guess the megapixels.
EV stands for "exposure value", also known as "stops". The Kaiser, as well as most point and shoot digi-cams, goes from -3.0 to +3.0 in half step stops.
ooo snap.. nice.. It kind of works but ya depends on lighting ..:-(
Thanks !
Sorry, just went through the entire menu system on the camera and couldn't find anything resembling "stops" or "ev". Anybody know where to find it?
I have a Tilt.
When you open the camera app, at the bottom of the screen (on the left if you hold the phone upright) there will be a little "handle" that you can click on. It's dark grey in color. Click on that and you can adjust the EV value there.
Works great for me. thanks man

When you decrease Ev, shutter speed (Tv) automatically increases. At the cost of getting more speed, your picture will be darker. No problem, just use your favorite editor (photoshop) to increase the exposure again (using +Ev, Levels, or Curves). However, doing this will make your image noisier (more grains) and losing quality.
Vice versa, increasing Ev will decrease shutter speed. It's cool that cell phone cameras are beginning to offer adjustment settings. Most advanced camera will let you control EV, Av, and Tv and lots of other things independently, but only advanced users will touch those settings.
updated the first post, showing what EV is, for those who weren't sure.
Also If you go to Camera settings which is South east (corner right bottom) and then select the second page, select the Adjustments and in there you have another option which is to Sharpen more the image.
This also helps a lot.
I'm still trying to understand the Resolution mixing it with the lightning balances to have a nice fast snap shots indoors and outdoors.
Any help will be appreciated.
I can confirm that this does help a lot on my phone. I tested it at the UNLV vs. Arizona game last night. The pictures came out suprisingly well. Granted, it is a well lit indoor area. But I didn't see as much screen lag as usual.
The green flicker is from using Voodoo Control, but it's also caused by the "Auto Brightness" feature of the phone. In order to get rid of the green tint while turning on or off the phone disable Auto Brightness. Set your screen brightness manually right in the middle of the scale. I use the "Okay and Cancel" as a guide. Doing this I have used the "best ics voodoo settings" and have eliminated the green tint while the phone wakes or sleeps. I also went under development options in ICS settings & set all animations to .5
Hope this helps..
Lol the flicker is from the screen off animation. Once window animations is set below 1 u will no longer have it... I just turn all animations off... cheers

Edit: I feel like as soon as I say this, its happening again.. maybe I'm wrong about what I said but I'm not on auto brightness or using voodoo... ugh

I'm using the settings provided in my "best ICS voodoo settings" thread and set my screen brightness as shown in pic. No green flash.

That is plenty bright for me. I'm sure others prefer their screen brighter.

I have my NS I9020T's auto-brightness turned off and have it set to 50% and never get any green screen.
P.S. I also have window animation and transition animation both set at 0.5.
Since upgrading my Rom last week to the 7.0.A.3.195 I've noticed a stranger fade effect when launching apps.
Its like the contrast slides from low to high over about 2 seconds. It's a little irritating, has anyone else noticed this?

Turn automatic brightness off?

It's not brightness. It's saturation/gamma. Or maybe contrast. The brightness stays the same, but looks like a really cheap LCD for a second, then fades to normal.

Did you work out what this was. I also see the same thing on my unit. Received it last Friday, updated to 7.0.A.3.195 within 24 hours of turning the phone on, there I didn't notice if the phone did this oddity before hand as I was letting it charge and downloading apps etc..
I notice it more so on the Barclays Banking App. White background with green numbers for the account balances. The screen is like all white with a hint of green in there then it fades into contrast correctly and it looks perfect again. I have also noticed this when browsing.
My thoughts are its either A) a bug B) Faulty handsets (doubt it) or C) some sort of "easy on the eye" system when changing from dark to bright colours? Dunno
Ive tried brightness Auto/Manual, Bravia engine on/off brightness max, low all the same. It doesnt bother me but have also noticed it.

Its a backlight issue in the kernel in the kernel and the lights lib. Its fixed by FXP in 4.2 and also should be fixed (I hope) by Sony in 4.1.

It's not an issue, it's a feature (in Sony's mind) so they can trumpet it to the four winds as Bravia Engine, dynamic contrast, et al.
The problem is, that as a feature, it sucks.
I have problem with contrast on my XT. As you can see on screenshots down below, colours looks just fine. But on my screen in XT, when I put wallpapers from Z (got it from another thread) part of wallpaper pointed by arrows is bright gray (similar to the gray below the zigzag). Problem with other wallpaper is analogical - the colour below the zigzag shows up to the zigzag....

It is normal when wake up.
nobody ? ??
increase your brightness ?
it is not solve problem when i increase brightness.
it has red colour background, i can set many colours but can not set white colour. Maybe the back-lit change from white to red.
Are you using a custom face? if so, change to one of the built-in watch faces from LG, or just try a few different watch faces in general and see what happens.
I'm not sure (because I don't know what watchface you're using) but it definitely looks like your screen is defective.
Now, the screen is death
I have nearly the same problem. It's been this way for about three months. I did a factory reset three times. The screen looks fine in normal mode, but when it dims, it flashes the dimmed color for half a second, then dims dark to red. Mine appears darker. I can't see it in the daylight at all.
mine just started the same thing :/ do i need a new smartwatch ALREADY?
kay so its gotten much worse, it seems to be caused by not enough power tothe screen, it seems to get worse when it attempts white
Hi,
Can we have more informations please ??
like : did you used Stock Watchfaces, if not which one before the problem etc...
just got it back from LG, the note says:
replacement case
replacement ic/pa/filter
does anyone know what that means?
How do we get service on this watch? I can't take it back to the original store because it was in another state and I'm tired of living with it this way. Thanks
call LG in your state and winge.. it worked for me
btw my watch JUST started bugging out again https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3AeJ6c65lOo
Good Day
I think I have a problem with P20 Pro CLT-L29 flashlight. I can see just one of the LEDs is working regardless of the camera settings chosen or if I use it as a torch. When I put a dark glass filter over the flashlight is clearly visible that just the right ( warm ) LED is on. The left part of the flashlight remains off. Any ideas how to test both LEDs separately? My concern is that it may be a hardware issue.
Thank you.
Hi,
In my P20 Pro, when using flashlight, only right LED is in use (looking on the back of the phone). But when I'm taking photo, both LEDs are used (but only during the last flash - taking photo; not during focusing).

Thank you for your suggestion. Unfortunately it doesn't apply to my phone. For both Photo and Pro modes during the last flash the warm LED just burns brighter.
I went to a phone store couple of days ago. The brand new P20 Pro for sale there was acting exactly like the same, so it seems that it's not an isolated case flash failure. I'm wondering if this camera was really build as 2 tone flashlight in a first place.
Honestly, I'm a bit disappointed as this model was announced as "The Camera Phone" when it came on the market.
Mystery unveiled.
I wrote to Huawei support and they got back to me today.
CLT-L29 has a single flash LED only. The information posted on phone specs sites
The 40mp and 8mp cameras are next to each other, with the single 20mp monochrome camera on its own, with a dual LED flash, and then LEICA branding.
turned to be wrong.
The white left side of the flash is not a second LED but a RGB Color Temperature Sensor according to Huawei support.
This is what I received back from them:
" Flash + RGB Color Temperature Sensor (*RGB Color temperature sensor is used to ensure the photo effect by adjusting the white balance and exposure degree according to the scene) "
Oh, that's interesting. I have never thought about that. I found some teardown photos on iFixIt and there is only one LED + sensor.

Yep, the plastic is deceiving. Looks just like dual LED flash.
Anyway. I'm happy that I don't need to claim warranty.
