Hey there, I am using the XZ1C on the latest stock pie build and there is annoying feature where I do not know how to disable it. When I am in more bright situations the contrast seems to adjust that I should the screen better but for me it is just annoying. The blacks get a really light gray. I have auto-brightness disabled. Anyone here with the same struggle or a possible fix?
Thanks in advance

To those with more experience with Android/HTC phones, what do you think about this issue? It is odd that these phones were shipped with this feature clearly not working (because this feature doesn't work for all of them - right?).
Do you think it is a software issue? A hardware issue? Or both?
And do you think it likely that this feature will ever work? There has been no real information from Google/HTC about this.
I love this phone, but it would be nice if the feature actually worked!
Auto brightness has been tweaked for the N1 in CM... after that tweak, I find it quite good...
I'm using CM 5.0.5.2 and the auto brightness oscillates up and down...

Don't hv this problem... tho it takes a couple of seconds to adjust to the light
Just updated to 5.0.5.3 and no change. So must be a hardware problem?

Wait, so is it that some people had the cycling up & down auto brightness problem - but then using CM fixed it?
Its not that big a deal, I can just use the static brightness - but I'm just curious how many other ppl have this problem, what you think is the cause, and if you think there will ever be a fix.
I also notice that if the brightness is low, I get a red/purple hue - is this related? What causes it?
And yes I did make the title CAPS, because I am a bit cross they thought this would be a good idea.
Personally I don't think our screens need this feature....
It seems the nexus 6 has this 'automatic contrast brightness' feature built in.
Really, i cant think why.
I am really enjoying the phone, but for me the brightness just is not up to scratch (unfortunately) but hey hoo.
Anyway, i noticed this happening to mine. Start chrome for example, for a split second the screen is bright then it dims down.
I would say this is software setting, but it seems there is no access to it, can it be fixed by kernel setting or some other rom mod?

Do you have Adaptive brightness turned on in the Display settings?
are you noticing this at full brightness?

Hi, yes it is off as is ambient display...
As stated in the OP, this is built in on the Nexus 6 as it is with the LG2 also i think.
It would be great if we where able to disable it, but from what I have read about Content-based Dynamic Contrast it might be kernel related or something within the rom...
Does anyone have any info on this CDC feature?
Cheers

There is no such thing. Do you have any reliable reference that it's a feature of the N6? I can only find one article from "PC Pro UK" whatever that website is.
What does happen like it happens with most if not all OLED (and Plasma btw) is that the screen has a max overall brightness it can achieve. If you have a small white square it will be able to get brighter than if you had the whole screen white.
In practice I don't notice it though, with the phone turned to max brightness and then opening a mostly white empty Chrome page.
Are you running stock? I don't have this type of issue unless I have adaptive brightness on.
Hey guys, now that I'm all caught up and on MM, I've found an issue that's really kind of annoying.
Not sure how many people use Lux Auto Brightness over the default, but I've personally become very used to having it. Now with MM, Lux's notification overlay (which would normally replace the standard brightness slider) shows up as it's own notification rather than as a replacement. Kind of annoying to see 2 brightness sliders especially when the default brightness doesn't work while Lux is enabled.
Has anyone else experienced this and found a fix? I'm assuming this is an MM issue and I do plan on rooting once I get more than a couple minutes to do so, I'm assuming Xposed could fix it although I'm not too experienced with this alternative.
Thanks for the help!
+1
I tried a lot with and without root, unfortunately to no avail. There is a Russian patch for S7 but I do not dare to try on S6.
Hello dear xda-community,
I just returned from my vacation to Mexico. Whilst being there and taking pictures I encountered a very strange dilemma with the display and the brightness-automatic of the P10: Even if I deactivated the automatic screen-brightness, the system shaded when shooting pictures in the bright sunlight. Which resulted in a barely seeable screen, whereby the S7 of my girlfriend provided a sharp and bright screen.
I really wonder what caused this strange behaviour, and if anyone of you experienced a similar behaviour? I really don't get it why a feature still works when it's deactivated -__-
Thanks, cheerz

did no one experience this issue?
I experienced this, too.
But mostly I got it working with manual focus.
The most annoying thing is that the colors are a bit darken with bright sunlight, even if the sun isn't in the picture. The colors seems to be faded, the saturation is very low. See the attachment, the smaller prop plane is blue in reality but on this photo it looks like black, like the background buildings, too.
Hello Janno,
my issue is not with the postproduction, but with the lightsensor which is shading the whole display (even if this option has been disabled)
Thanks for your reply though, I chose a bad headline
Um getting this issue too... After about 10mins in the bright sun light the phone dims...even when i turn off automatic brightness and increase the brightness level it wont work...i think its a flaw on oreo update...when using nougat this never encountered

I guess it has something todo with the device temperature - Have the same behavior while using navigation :x
hm... not sure if it's really temperature-driven, since in the lockscreen no dimming took place and the display was shining in brightest and good readable colors.

Yeah thats true...
Its a bug in the display, you can turn it off in developer options but it still occurs. I think B365 has a fix for it
is B365 a user here?
Thanks for the help

B365 is an Oreo update.
I am pretty sure it is temperature issue, had it on oreo 360 and 365 after update. It happens while I am driving with navigation (waze)and charging and direct sunlight on the device. Then I take the p10 and place it in front of the air conditioner opening for 30 seconds and everything is ok.

So for me, it has something todo with the device temperature. I bought a new phone holder, which is placed in front of the Ventilation and my display didnt changed the brigthness anymore ?
Same problem
In application's it get dark even you have automatic switched off. This issue is a really annoying and looks like connected with temperature.
My P10 was/is on B365 as this issue happened. Just got it back today from repairs, of course they found nothing^^
So it seems really to be a software-issue. Any way to fix this?
Well I have a question.
Is it possible that the display is quite dimm even under direct sunlight and auto mode?
My gfs iPhone 12 pro max got a way brighter screen.
I'm really honest the longer I'm using this device the more unimpressed I am.
It's already dimmer than every flagship right now and it's even dimming more while gaming...
I really don't know what to think about this mobile anymore. So much which leaks way behind my expectations...
Anyone who got similar thoughts maybe?
Best regards
Turn auto brightness of and enable the following:
Settings -> Display -> Brightness Level -> Sunlight Mode on
Does it work?
Hello, thx for your reply. Already did this but seems like it's not working it's still dim. I also have lots of dust in the camera, I think I need to replace it with another one...
