I just received my nexus and I thought the battery was dead cause it showed the battery icon briefly. I left it charging for an hour and nothing. I tried the flashlight trick on the screen and I could see the welcome screen. I disable the automatic dimming feature and now my screen turns on. It must be a software issue on the sensor. I don't know yet.
So you shine a flashlight at the ambient light sensor and it turns the screen back up? Like the sensitivity of the sensor is too low? I'll have to make a mental note of this for when mine finally comes in.
Yes if you can't see the screen. If it still doesn't work, shine the light on the screen and you should be able to see the welcome screen. I don't know if you ever had your laptop LCD inverter burn out?
Thanks for this post. I had the exact same problem. I struggled to get up and running, but figure it out with the help of my GNex.

Thanks for the info.
I had this problem and I'm getting mine replaced. This is almost certainly not a software issue, else everybody would be having it (and if it were a misconfiguration, it would go away with a flash of the factory rom).

Do a search for light sensor, and you'll find other people with this problem.

True, I can't even see youtube in landscape mode cause the screen will shutoff. I have to have it in portrait mode.
Sounds more like a hardware problem. A light should DIM the screen, not brighten it. The sensor is reversed.

So when you walk outside to the bright sun, you would want your tablet's brightness to be at the lowest setting? I doubt it
Hello
I'm having an issue (don't know if it's known or not so don't judge) but my screen brightness is all the way up and regardless auto brightness is off the screen sometimes dims out on its own. Now I know the older s5 used to do it when the phone got hot but this is doing it regardless the phone is hot or not. It'll dim out then come back to max brightness or stay dormant. Anyone else having this issue and is it known? I'd love any and all answers if you can... thank you!
hey man i have the same thing with a galaxy s6 edge from romania,no worry the update will come and fix it
Hi people,
Can anyone help me, I'm going crazy!
Right I have a note 8 a few weeks old. Never been dropped etc. I put a black background(no pictures etc, just pure black) on my home screen. When I turn my screen brightness up to full, and look at my screen in the dark, the top of the screen looks faded(Browny yellow instead of black). I sent it in to samsung and they said there isn't a problem, but their obviously is! Could anyone please try this on their device for me? Just put 'black image' into Google images and you will find loads of black images to try it with. Thanks in advance (has to be viewed in a dark room, because it's not noticeable in light and the screen brightness has to be full). Thanks in advance.
Hi,
Have had the V40 since release date. Feelings are mixed bag of frustrations.
My screen is constantly dimming and then going bright. Screen brightness is off. Is there anyone else experiencing this? Can anyone help?
I want to add this.... This problem seems to only happen out doors..bright sunny conditions....
Thanks!
I have the same thing, but it's a dimming before the screen goes dark ... it never comes back on brighter unless I touch the screen to keep it active, if I don't touch the screen it soon goes black.
Play with the screen saver settings in display, setting them to different times to see if that's your issue.

I see what you're saying. However that's not what I'm taking about. It's almost like a flicker... Almost like the screen is overheating and the screen is dimming to protect it.......
Have you used or are you using package disabler pro?

What does package disabler pro do?
I have set under developers to keep screen on while charging. However, it goes almost to black, so dim I can not see what is on the screen. Anyway to adjust this? I am also using adaptive brightness if that matters.
Galaxy S10, with Android 10 installed.
TIA for any help.
