[Q] Display Brightness Boost Mode - X 2014 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hello all,
I recently return my Nexus 6 because the max brightness paled in comparison to my LG G2 and the phone was just unwieldy. I thought I'd give the Moto X (2014) a shot because it's the perfect size for me. I decided to go to the AT&T store yesterday and see it in person. It's beautiful but I was, again, let down by the max brightness. It doesn't compare to the G2 in that front. However, I read on AnandTech that the Moto X has a display boost mode that brings the brightness up to 390 nits. Compare to the 242 nits it normally pushes, that's awesome!
"What's interesting to note is that the brightness is similar to that of the 2014 Moto X, another recently released Motorola device that sports an AMOLED panel. However, even Moto X has an auto boost mode which pushes it up to 390nit"
Does anyone know how to enable this? I spent an hour at AT&T trying to figure out enable this boost mode and increase the brightness. I couldn't find it anywhere. Is Anandtech wrong? Is the brightness simply subpar on the Moto X?

I read it as a sort of critique in that "even the original Moto X has an auto boost mode", implying that the new one doesn't. Even then, I don't think it's something you can just enable. I think the ambient lighting needs to reach a certain level for it to take effect.

Thanks for replying to steven. I'm kinda glad I didn't buy it now. That's a shame. Such a beautiful phone.

the new moto X (2014) is much brighter and easier to read in direct sunlight than the original X. (i own both). if for some reason the new X does not get bright enough, go into settings/display and turn off "adaptive brightness." then increase brightness to 100%. nice and bright. even indoors, 100% brightness is not as bright as 100% with "adaptive brightness" disabled. I keep "adaptive brightness" enabled and can usually read it fine in direct sunlight. I will admit that with "adaptive mode" enabled, occasionally it will not always enable the "extra bright mode" as soon as I would like but it is readable at 100%. AMOLED has never been as readable in direct sunlight as TFT screens but I prefer amoled for its better blacks, better energy efficiency and more vivid colors. the new X has the best amoled screen I have ever seen.

The screen brightness limitation on the Moto X 2014 is subjective. One man's "really bad" is another man's "satisfactory".
Some people may like their screens really bright in general, so when they go outside with the Moto X it feels dim to them. I've never had an issue reading the display in direct sunlight personally, and if I ever did I would just turn away from the sun so that a shadow was created. When I'm outside for long periods of time I tend to be socialising, making a phone call or travelling somewhere; therefore elite visibility in direct sunlight isn't a requirement for me.
Sometimes an opinion represents an individual's tastes and needs rather than a universal truth. To each his own.

Just got the Moto X a few weeks ago. Just go to settings - display - turn off adaptive brightness

Display tint and auto-brightness problem?

Hello.
Just received brand new Moto G 2014 5" version and comparing the screen colors to Moto G 2013 4,5" version, makes me quite depressing. I noticed, that 2014 model screen is noticeable darker and yellow compared the 2013 model screen, which is bright and blue, I just can't believe that 294 (2014) vs 326 (2013) ppi pixel density is so visible?
My first opinion was, that screen is definitely faulty, as I also noticed such difference once before, when my 2013 model was replaced - screen of the new one was much more brighter.
However, if all 2014 version screens are so dark, then we need a fix ASAP, as right now display brightness in auto mode is too low , it's difficult to use the phone in normal daylight, only manual brightness editing helps, but this is workaround which uses more battery.
I did sent same description also to Motorola forum, hoping that Motorola engineers puttting Moto G 2013 and Moto G 2014 model side by side, compare screens brightness in auto mode, and edit the firmware and publish it.
Right now I ordered a replacement as I just can't believe what I saw.

Update your device to latest Build version KXB21.85.23 size is around 120 MB
1. Touch issues solved
2. Auto-brightness issues solved.
3. Added Google Now Launcher​
The color temperature on 2014 model is warmer (shifted towards < 6500K) as compared to 2013 model (shifted towards >7500K). Its perfectly okay. And regarding display pixel density its quite obvious that the clarity is not that great as compared to 2013 model.

The update is already installed, but I don't see improvement. I can live with less colorful screen, but I can't live with much darker screen - http://www.upload.ee/image/4293011/DSC_0760-1.jpg
I think Motorola should adjust 2014 model screen brightness to same level as 2013 have. Or add option to adjust screen color ourselves, like some Xperia models have.
I never use auto brightness so I don't know about that, but my screen isn't dark at all
White balance is better with new moto g. I use both and with original moto g the white ballance is way to blue. I also have some backlight bleeding issues with original one. Autobrightness is set too low on the new moto g 2nd, especially in low light environments, but if you manually boost brightness, it is bright as hell.

[Q] How bright is the screen?

I like every aspect of nexus 6
but i'm a bit worried about the brightness of the screen
since AMOLED are kind of infamous for not able to use outdoor
I'm guessing the screen will be similar to Moto X 2014
Anyone who own the phone, can you please share the experience for using the phone under bright sun?

That's the important question. This year's AMOLED's (Galaxy S5, Note 4, Tab S) were very bright... but last year's AMOLED's (Galaxy S4).. not so much. Note 3 was fine however.
some review says moto X 2014 has poor outdoor visibility
and according to phonearena screen measurement, the moto X only has a maximum brightness of 385 nits
Now i'm seriously worried about the N6.....
I will accept anything higher than 450 nits, but 385 nits is just way too low
btw, I always never understood why maximum brightness is not part of the standard specs, it's an important factor, sometimes it's more important than pixel density or color saturation
While I will take all the brightness I can get, I have only struggled a few times with my S4 outdoors. I just don't use my phone all that much in full sunlight. Maybe check a football score during my kid's soccer game. Not exactly mission critical, but I guess it would be nice if it were easier. I certainly wouldn't give up the superior blacks the other 99.99% of the time. But given the awesome screens on the latest Samsungs, we should be able to have our cake and eat it, too.

Its brightness is 270 nits (quite dim when you go by the numbers)

I guess I won't be selling my z3 for a n6 after all!
As with most single specs, the luminance in nits only tells part of the story. I'll wait to see what the N6 screen looks like in full sun before making a final decision.

Very true. Amoled screen have very different reflective properties when compared to an LCD IPS screen. The outdoor viewing experience could and should actually be really good based on all the reviews.

Based on reviews the screen looks less vivid, less sharp and more dull than the Note 4. The visibility is less also; many reviewers claim the screen has great PPI but overall is not amazing. No surprises here - Samsung saves the best screens for themselves and everyone else gets rejects. For that reason I would've used an IPS display, like the iPhone 6+ (which has great visibility in sunlight, sharp and good colours).

If that's the case then Google clearly chose the ambient display (which requires amoled) over an IPS display. The note 4 arguably has the best screen in the world and we don't don't know if Google could get their hands on the iPhone 6 display. Maybe they tried and still couldn't get it.
Google can still calibrate the display properly. We'll just have to wait and see.

We can also, you know...Make calibrations ourselves as well once Custom Kernels make their rounds..
If colour reproduction is an issue we should have little to worry if we can modify it in due time.
Here's how to find out - go look at one yourself before purchase.

You are going to have to post a source for that, because I dont believe the Z3 has 850nit brightness at all. A quick Google search showed nothing of the sort either.

i am happy this was answered so i didn't have to make a post just to make sure. i know i have options for dpi and auto brighness controls on my gs2. but i have to wonder why they set it so low in the first place? was it for battery savings? is it because the reflectivity is so good that it didn't need to be higher? is it because it will burn out the organics? if the gs3, 290 nits, was good enough to see outside then i guess this one will be also. it just sucks that it is so low. and i don't know if i would want to trust a kernel that raised it.

Sony smarthones have the worst display ever. turn off bravia engine (contrast and vivid) and you will love motorola 720i ;P
PhoneArena state the Nexus 6 is 270nits.
& the Nexus 5 is 485nits
Yet, I'm pretty sure we've seen both phones on Max brightness next to each other with the Nexus 6 being brighter.
In fact, every video I've seen with both the Nexus 6 & Note 4 has shown the Nexus to have the brighter screen with much better whites.

Every video I've seen with both phones together.
If the Nexus 6 is supposed to only be 270nits, how is this possible?
I've also seen an image of the Nexus 5 & 6 together on Max brightness with the 6 being brighter.
Nexus 5 is 485 nits so PhoneArenas 270nits claim makes no sense at all.
Even in PhoneArenas own video, the Nexus looks brighter than the Note 4, easily visible during browsing & the video benchmark etc.

It's funny because when I was playing with the Note 4 in a Sprint store I was surprised to learn that the screen was at full brightness. It didn't seem all that bright to me.

screen brightness and battery Life

battery life from reviews is favorable or against its performance. with QC it wont be that big a issue. some said 3 hours screen time, some 5. what are you getting?
also. saw the phonearena review of the N6 and it showed screen brightness to be quite poor. 250nits. I was locked on this phone and now, not sure. I like running my phone bright. I also use a 10000mah battery pack so not an issue for battery life but I do like brightness.
I wanted this phone as I cant afford the moto x pure. 32gb, and leather back bumps it above my budget. so atm staying with my POS htc m7. wow what a garbage phone. no wonder their in the shets financially.
The screen on time will depend on brightness of course, but also on other factors such as CPU use, Strength of Mobile Signal etc. Me telling you what I get for Screen on will not help you at all.
The screen is not very bright though in my opinion. Not on sunny day

Moto X (2014) grainy display

Hello!
Yesterday I bought brand new Moto X 2nd gen. Just as I turned it up for the first time I noticed some weird grain on screen. Its more visible on brighter color a like white or even green-grey color lollipop uses when notification bar is pulled down. I didn't see much people reporting this problem so I decided I will post here first. Some people were saying this is how it is on every Pentile Matrix amoled screen, but I have to disagree. Never seen any galaxy suffering for this problem before. The grain is most noticable while scrolling and its always at the same place.
Amoled is always a part of a reason why I bought this phone-never had problems before. I like everything about this phone, so I really wouldnt want this to be a deal-breaker. I still have 2 years of warranty, but I am afraid that next moto would have same problems. Can some guys verify they don't have this un-clean like grain over whole display?
Motorola Moto X 2nd gen. XT1092
Model: SM3958AN7T1
Lollipop 5.0.1 - 5.1 (updated recently, problem persists)
Help me out guys, what should I do? Go for replacement?

You fixed screen?
Hello guys, my Moto X 2014 (XT1092) suffers from the same problem. I can see this grainy effect on the screen especially with white backgrounds, on the material keyboard and notification bar. What I have to do?
AMOLED just like that. White is not as white as on LCD/ IPS. It is normal
Well, a bit O-T here, but I thought I'd ask: how's the low brightness level on the phone?
Are the whites really turning blueish or other shades and how bright is it? I ask because I read one comment before where the person was saying that the display temains quite (too) bright even at the lowest setting and was saying that this is not a very good phone for night reading....
I bought (and returned a LG G2 before where it was the opposite: screen was too dark for normal use with any setting lower than 35%...)
Any input on this?
Edit: nevermind, soon after posting this I watched a video review where the guy was showing and saying that brightness can be dimmed down a lot and that it was fine for pre-bed time reading.
Brightness of my Moto X at mid level, automatic. Can still see the problem under the sunlight, with my eye near the screen.
i have the exact same problem too !! is this normall. it makes the screen look REALLY bad!!
Guys, Amaz sent me the replacement and the problem is still there.

P4XL - Low brightness + Forced 90hz = Severe crushed blacks and purple hue

UPDATE: Found a fix and hope it works for you guys too!
Forced 90hz is the way to go! Pixel 4 FTW!
1. Forced 90hz - ON
2. Ambient eq - ON/OFF (I have it ON but I heard some people turned it OFF and it fixed the black crush/purple hue. I tried it and it didn't fix anything for me
3. Always on display - MUST BE ON (I had this OFF before to save battery. This must be turned back on. I can replicate this every time, turn it off and the crushed black/purple hue appear, turn it on and the problem goes away.
Enjoy your P4 on 90hz always guys!
-------------------------------------------------------------------
I had my P4XL on forced 90hz the whole day. When night came my brightness was at around 30% and I noticed something was wrong with the screen. The default grey wallpaper was severely crushed, it looked more black than grey; youtube videos looked awful in darker scenes; my astro shots looked off, there was no transition in the night sky, it went from brighter areas to sudden pitch black.
I took out my P3XL to compare and it was significantly better! I knew this couldn't be right so I thought maybe I should try turning off the forced 90hz on my P4XL. Once it was off, the black crush was gone!
Is this meant to happen? Does higher refresh rates relate to brightness or has Google done something with it?
Here is a link to photos I took - P3XL VS P4XL forced 90hz (ON) & P3XL VS P4XL forced 90hz (OFF)
ttps://imgur.com/a/mS7yZ5o (i'm a junior member and can't post links, please add 'h' to the front)
I tried to replicate the problem on my pixel 4 xl and didn't have the same issue
I have this exact same issue and it has to do with the refresh rate being forced to 90hz as you said. My guess is if they are Samsung panels this would be their first 90hz panel and the P4 very well could be the guinea pig to see if they can create a solid 90hz panel? Then sadly they failed to deliver a solid product and it was already too late into production and all the panels have been made. Google then was aware of the issue with the panels and locked the higher refresh rate to the brightness levels. Google probably expected that the masses wouldn't dive into developer settings and force 90hz on. They probably also didn't expect many people to complain about 90hz barely kicking in unless you were running at a higher brightness % either. So I'm guessing their software update will lower the required brightness to trigger 90hz with Smooth Display activated and possibly increase the overall brightness of the display. The display is locked around 4xx nits while it's confirmed with auto brightness off that it can achieve over 600 + when playing HDR content. So it's probably just a first batch woes for Samsung and we got stuck with it unfortunately.

The teardown from iFixit indicates that Samsung has manufactured the displays.
I noticed the same issue. White 4xl, I forced the 90hz and sometimes when I unlocked the phone at night low brightness the screen looks watched out, blacks look gray but then I locked the phone and open it again and I get the issue op is talking about. Very crushed blacks and colors are way off. I also have on the night light as well. I will test more today.

Didn't Samsung make the panels for the 90h display for OnePlus 7 Pro? If so, they've been out for about six months and they are excellent panels!
