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,

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 ?
Hi,
I have a Problem with my mi8.
The Display flash

Turn off aod
Aod ?

Always on display. Sametimes it's help but it's probably fault of ambient light sensor or screen.
It is the same If aod Off
Not good
That's a common thing with faulty oled screens, it is a hardware issue
I have the same flashing screen when I turn the screen off before the aod is displayed. It does not happen all the time. Turning off aod does not help. I doubt that it is a hardware issue as the flashing started after updating to MIUI 11 - at least for me.
I have also this problem, started a while ago when I was on MIUI 10 after I installed some kind of dark theme
This indeed looks like a AOD fault cause turning it off solves the problem, and the latest version of AOD with custom picture customization, reduced this issue for me
But it also seems like it mostly happens when the ambient light is low so the automatic brightness reduces the screen light and AOD starts to flash
I hope it won't be a hardware problem
One other thing that I want to mention is sometimes it goes really bad and the screen starts flashing for a long time, in this case phone seems to become unresponsive as not touch and not the fingerprint sensor and infrared camera doesn't work at all

It is used for past time if you're asking
So a little update on the flashing screen situation
I disabled auto brightness and set the brightness a little below middle of brightness bar and so far so good. No flashing here for a while
Also disabling the AOD completely solves the problem
Another update on the state of this flashing issue, after Android 10 update haven't seen any flashing so far, AOD display works fine, light sensor and automatic brightness work just fine.
I guess it was a software issue after all
I hope you have solved it. Do you have the anti-flick on?

Nope I don't
Anyone else who has this issue:
Try disabling hardware overlays in developer options, also check to see if the Game driver option within Developer options is set to default. Although its possible that this could be the beginnings of a hardware issue, it could also be a software related issue.
If none of the things that I mentioned work, i would try reflashing the stock fastboot rom. ( must be fastboot version)
Similar happened to me but i think this is not recoverable.

No matter what i do, it only flashes and nothing else is visible. Device purchased about 1.5 years ago.

You need to return to stock using a fastboot rom, using a recovery rom will not work.
Most likely you have corrupted files. but sure it could be an hardware issue, especially if you have dropped the phone or installed something to increase the refresh rate. If you flashed a refresh rate mod, then you need to flash the DBTO image from the fastboot stock rom.

I have TWRP installed and thought of checking it out but it simply flashes there as well. Right now i have the display on, set never sleep in Developer options and simply keeping it up until new phone arrives. Once i am on new phone, i will try factory reset on this first and go from there i think. Not sure how to get to fastboot when display is not working.
Due to such weird nature that nothing really helps i tend to think that this is HW issue.
EDIT : Turned off display by accident (because phone call happened) and now it's back to flashing disco with absolutely nothing working. Fastboot (power + lower volume key together) is of course flashing as well so inacessible.
Happened to me too. Turned off AoD, restarted, turned on and it was ok for a while. Now flashed again. Dont know what is causing this :/

I also got the same issue on my dipper. The only solution that works perfect is by flashing to LineageOS 17.1. I know it's an OLED screen faulty but Lineage really fixes it. Been using Lineage for a few months and never have this display issue again. Other custom ROMs can't fix this display issue.
Who else are facing the same problem ?
1)Initially, when I unlock phone by pressing power button the display was changed to dim colour(mostly yellowish) and with horizontal lines displayed when the brightness is below 50%. After tried with multiple times pressing on power button the display came back to normal.
2) Next stage, it's not solved with power button. I have to keep my phone aside for some time to get back to normal display. It's been 15 to 20 min then.
3) Now, I would get normal display only in morning. Else, I need to keep my phone idle without touching for at least 4 to 5 hours. I've also changed screen power off time from 30 Sec to 10 Minutes. So that my screen wont turn off and I can keep the normal display. If I forgot to use or kept aside more than 10 min then my screen would go off and display would gone again and irritation starts with that discoloration problem..
4) If display changes to yellowish to reduce the horizontal lines problem I need to increase the brightness to 80 or 85% but this causing my phone with another problem "heating issue"
Samsung haven't responded on this issue yet, how could we bring up the issue and get the proper resolution from Samsung.
This happened after last March update installation?
What note 9 do you have?
Probably not a hardware fault if it happened after recent software update.
A number of note9 affected although samsung seems to disagree at the moment.
Hello,
I also have a problem with the display after waking up with the POWER button. There are tinted colors distorted and some stripes like dim lines and slow refreshing. Everything started after updating to Android 10. In fact, when the display lights up incorrectly, it starts to heat up from the bottom. Putting the smartphone aside for a moment or cooling down causes the display to work correctly.
Workaround? I turned on Active Display and first knock to activate it, then the display lights up correctly and then I unlock the screen and use normally. It is known that battery consumption increases. Of course mine is Exynos.
hi guys,, i remember a similar experience sometime back.. try this. if u have turn on the proximity sensor i mean the advance feature where the phone screen doesn't turn on while in pocket , switch it off and restart the phone and see if the problem still exist.

whats the firmware version u are having now and phone model?
Try wiping the cache partition in Recovery Mode. If that doesn't work then back up your device and manually reinstall the OS back onto your device.
Im having the exact problem. I flash LineageOS and it worked by max brightness then back to auto. I installed brightness widget to max brightness and back to auto everytime I turn on screen.
This issue is popular after March update. I tried everythings you mentioned above, reset, flash new firmware, even April update, wipe cached, flash cooked rom, heat screen, turn off features, disable gpu overlay, etc... Samsung Vietnam guaranteed can fix with new screen but I'm out of warranty.
I dont have any issues us unlocked snapdragon xaa model on latest android 10 version.
Can we confirmed that a screen replacement fixes the display problem or is it still a software issue

No one knows what is the exact cause here, its noticed in many devices right after this March update but few are noticed months before. But, now the problem came to many users at same time. So its been brought up by many tech blogs, websites.

I'm having the exynos version too but with ITV (Italy) firmware ...never had this problem and now I'm on April's version after March's version.
This looks a little bit like what happened to the S5 years ago when after 1 and a half/ 2 and a half year's the screan began flickering, having green spots or lines, randomly didn't go on with low luminance settings since it completely died....a lot of people said on forum's that it was the screen and a replacement solves, but when it happened to me years ago the Samsung assistance center told me that it was another component (never told me what it was) causing the issue and once they changed it , they solved the problem.
So, after my experience with the S5, don't know what to think now for what is happening to some guys even if I think that this issue might depend with something happening after marchs update because for the too many people having it after the update, coincidences are not credible.

Yes, many people were facing this problem and how many times we have contacted the Samsung they are behaving like they just hearing the issue for the first time. Just created and posted the link in Members app and 67 members joined so far. Everyone having the display problem out of nowhere. All of them on out of warranty except one or two. Still members app floating with the display problem messages.
Display issue got noticed in S20 too but they immediately released the security patch and solved it. Don't know why they were silent on Note 9.

This has been an age-old issue on multiple devices and still can't find a solution.
When the screen is unlocked the display is dim to a very low brightness hardly enough to use for a few seconds, roughly about 5s, and it turns on to the normal brightness. I find this issue reported to have been occurring since 2105? or earlier on phones from OnePlus and others.
I have Nova launcher as default, altered it's settings, just in case, in vain. After tinkering with many options in the settings i couldn't find a proper solution. Then I found that after the phone is booted, the problem didn't occur for some time, under a minute. So i Disabled multiple apps from startup, yet, nothing changed. It was also noted that the display was not fully dim though, whilst the home screen was dim, the status and the notification drop down stayed lit with normal brightness. Afterall, it seems the fingerprint might the thing causing the issue that the phone doesn't show a problem when screen unlock is performed via other methods like pin. Apparently, it's all BBK phones that's having this issue? Even though this is not a big problem, the experience is pretty annoying. And, it wasn't there when i first used the phone.
So, is there a workaround for this issue other than disabling fingerprint or using other login methods? Or could it be a bug that's to be resolved in an OS update? Any help is appreciated.
Edit: vivo pushed an OTA update today, and after installing that, it seems the issue has been resolved. There's no mention of such an issue in the bugs fix list, let's still assume it was a bug.
Edit 2: Well, the problem persists (also deleted attached image of update which did not help resolve the issue).

Sorry i did not mention I did try that method in the first place of all. We could tell it isn't the auto brightness causing the issue if the status bar and notifications are displaying in normal brightness.
The issue was resolved with an update.
Edit: not really. Sick.
Hello XDA Community,
I'm seeking assistance with a peculiar problem I've been encountering with my OnePlus 10 Pro.
The issue manifests as a persistent black clock display whenever the phone is locked. This display seems to prevent the screen from turning off as it should when the device is not in use. This not only affects the phone's battery life but also my overall user experience.
Additionally, I've observed a concerning correlation between this black clock screen and the device's charging speed. When the black clock screen is active, my OnePlus 10 Pro doesn't seem to charge at the speed I've come to expect from this device. This is particularly problematic as I rely heavily on the phone's acclaimed quick charging feature.
Has anyone else encountered this issue or can offer any advice? I would greatly appreciate any insights or potential solutions.
This screen is probably "ambient display" but on screen option I have disabled this in Wallpapers & style and always-on display is disabled.
Thank you in advance for your help.
I have had this with the fingerprint button showing after the screen is off, I got around it by turning it on then rebooting and retesting then changing the feature to off and then rebooting then testing again...
The problem occured after a firmware update, so if you've changed region or performed an update then that may be why.
Definitely something that shouldn't be happening.
I don't have "wise charging" turned on or wireless charging, or any kind of AOD feature, cycling and rebooting between each change should help, least it did for me.
I google this case and this can be ambient display by google but I dont have any option to disable it

Again, just cycle AOD to on then reboot.. then turn it off then reboot.
Then retest.
It simply shouldn't be on at all, so did you update recently?
