High Temperature Property OFF

Do anyone know how to access this menu? I'm sick of screen dimming every 5 mins because they phone thinks it's overheating.

That feature works so well on both G2 and G3 unfortunately it's not accessible on the G4 ?

Go swap it my T-Mobile G4 never dims when I'm at 100% screen brightness, my phone has never hit 50°c which is extremely good considering I've had the g3 which would always be above 60°c

Man that sucks.

Don't know if the problem I have relates to this issue. I bought the phone today and for some reason I'm having brightness issues where I have it at 50%, it randomly dims and brightens. I tested at 100% and it would also randomly dim and brighten.
I'm afraid to exchange it and the problem would still occur in a new exchange.

This feature is turned off by default on the T-Mobile version. If you have root, you can change it using trickstermod.

I'm assuming its the option under "specific" on the left side drop menu.
It lists: "Temperature Throttle"
SOC Temperature limit toggle
and it's set to off.

Did this work for you? The screen dimming is getting irritating

You guys having this problem may want to look in to getting your units replaced. I drove for 3 hours a few weekends ago using navigation, screen brightness 100%, using bluetooth to stream audio while charging it, and it was on top of my dashboard in the hot South Florida direct sun light. Screen never dimmed at all.

Have you guys tried unticking the auto brightness settings?mine never dims while unticked but i usually leave it on because it saves a lot of battery

Auto brightness issue

Has anyone noticed an issue with the auto brightness of the note 8 ? It seems it doesn't get adjusted efficiently! Sometimes it's too dim and sometimes too bright, that's so disturbing

It's really funny, it worked after I installed an application called lux lite, that's unbelievable.. I need to install a third party application on a 1000$ cellphone to get such a basic function working. Thanks Samsung !

I believe you are wrong about this. The auto brightness is adaptable, in the sense that you can set it manually wherever you want in different comditions and it will learn your preferences and interpolate. I actually find it very flexible.

I find that is not doing such a hot job at learning my preferences. I keep having to manually adjust because my phone thinks it knows what I want. It's annoying.

do you mean that it has a new functionality that has not been in old phones? I have the Note 4 and it works like a charm, but the note 8 auto brightness works strangely, when I'm in a room with low brightness the screen light goes so dim that I can barely see anything!

Ive experienced the same thing, I have to do a screen lock for its auto brightness to work correctly

Hi,
(sorry for my English)
Your message was one month ago but I reply just in case some people have the same issue.
You have to call samsung about your issue. I have done that there are 2 months ago and Samsung are going to change the settings only if they have lot of complaint about this weird behaviour of the note 8, S8 and S8+.
The new settings of the auto brightness is "smart" but often it's more like "lost" than "smart"... :/
I adked to Samsung to give 3 choices for the settings of the auto brightness for the user instead of 2:
1) manually
2) auto "smart"
3) auto "not smart" => so the phone adjust the brightness depending only of the light sensor.
They told me that my proposition can be integrate only if they received lot of complaint.

Seems to come with last update
I can confirm am having the exact issue..
Brightness doesn't seem to auto adjust. Even after a reboot. The issue seems to come during the last update - the update where now we can have video lockscreen and animated AODs.
Hope this is resolved soon.

I don't recall having issues on the last update, but I am on the latest CRG1 now and it's working fine on my N950F.

I ran the sensor tests, and it seems that more than the lux sensor is not responding ...
My heart rate sensor seems to work on a hit-or-miss basis..
SpO2 working fine though.

Try and reset your usage pattern and give it time to learn your usage. You will have to adjust the slider for your preference while its learning. I'm on the latest oreo and have no issues with it.

Reset phone to factory settings..
Issue persists!!

Hello Guys,
Yesterday I received the August 1 Update on my note 8.
After the update, I confirm the matter has been tackled
Screen rotation, auto brightness all working fine now.

That's strange. My auto brightness worked fine up until the latest update. It is the August update that caused the problem for me.

Actually, providinf an update on the matter.
Some days later, situation came back to square one!
Not working:
Light sensor
Heart Rate sensor
Proximity sensor
Gyro sensor
Magnet sensor
Accelerometer
Just fingerprint sensor seems to be working fine.
I was on a trip in Malaysia and was at a Samsung store. They told me this is a very common issue and easily solved by 'software update' but when I went on to the service centre, they denied me since my phone was bought in different country. Phff

If the next OS update doesn't resolve this then I would recommend that you take your device to a Samsung Service Center

Anyone got their unresponsive device working back again ?

[solved] Adaptive brightness broken in pie

Does anyone else have this issue? Every time you lock/unlock the brightness auto adjusts again (and it adjusts pretty low)
So even if I manually set it to 100% and lock/unlock it will be down to 25% again. Doesn't seem like it's learning at all

Seems like it takes a lot of time to learn. I don't use it anyway I prefer having control on it

Seems like a bug honestly, because it goes TOO LOW. I tried to lock the device several times to see if the "learning" of the slider improves, but it still goes back to the same spot... I'm gonna keep it deactivated until they fix it.

Android Pie has AI in basically everything and it learns for you, just keep adjusting the brightness manually and in a few days it'll know how you like your brightness and adjust it for you.

I care about to go low! And now I can't go below 19% with Adaptive ON, it's to high for a dark room.

Actually I've been reading similar things about this on the pixel so it might just be the way it is. Might take long for it to learn. I read someone say it's always fun when he first unlocks it

And I found this link of people claiming it is like this the first few days until you train it better

Yeah it could be the new implementation of the AI, I'm gonna use it for a few days to see if it gets better

This has started happening to me since yesterday. I've been using Pie for a month now (December update). What I've noticed is that it goes down to about 25% every time I cover the brightness sensor with my finger (usually when watching YT) and it stays there no matter what. It's pretty annoying having to always adjust it like that. Using "Sensors Monitor" app I see that the sensor is working correctly so it's a software "feature".
Any suggestions on how to mitigate it besides using "Velis Auto Brightness" app?

How do we know its 'AI'? Has it 'adapted' for anyone till now? That brings us tk the question, what was wrong with Auto Brightness in Oreo? Just because there's piece of code that's new, doesn't mean its versatile.

Yeah, and some of us would be fixing what was intentionally broke. Interesting, what would Android be without the community working as the underdog?
Oh, and AI (its Computational Intelligence) is the new cheaper, efficient corporate slave working to enslave the many.

Auto brightness

How's your auto brightness working? If I set mine to auto it just dumb. In a dark room the screen just gets dark. I mean, it's always in a lower brightness setting.
Can't use it in auto.

Same. I never usually like autobrigtness for the reasons you mention. I remember an app called Lux which was great at the time, as you could customise the brightness levels per lighting environment and was much better at managing brightness automatically.
For now though I generally keep my brightness around 20-30% indoors, pretty much 100% daytime outdoors (or ill put autobrigtness on then) and around 0-10% in the dark/bedtime - sometimes with reading mode on too

Surely it's something to be fixed... Unusable for now

Question AOD turns off after five minutes!

Hello guys
I come from a Pixel2XL where AOD stays always on the way it should be.
However, I don't know if it's a bug or the developers have forgot to keep 11Ultra AOD "always on" even when the option is selected in the settings for it to be, as it goes off just after few minutes!
Any idea what's the cause and is it happening for all devices (mine is GLOBAL variant)

So form of power management is active?

No modification done...Vanilla 12.5.2 Global

Try to update to the latest 12.5.4.0 and see if the issue persists

I wouldn't sweat it as it sounds like a good feature. I use to always have AOD on but it got to be quit annoying for me after a year. It's set to tap on now.
100% availability means 100% no peace.
I got tired of playing the time game as well unless it's dinner

the only thing that was lovable about always on display was to check if I had any notifications to respond to without tapping the device

Hope some developer gets an eye on this as it's a very useful feature where you don't even have an AlwaysON notification LED!

You can set the rear display to be on all the time if you want to
Change the 30 second timeout to 30 million seconds....

Yes... however, unlike the main screen the Xiaomi developers haven't set the pixels to move slightly for the rear screen and that might cause a screen burn!

The time and date is always changing tho.... It should not be using the same pixels all the time
If I wanted to use the rear screen i wouldn't think twice but I don't like setting the phone face down anyway
