Hi everybody. Proud owner of moto e. Moved from galaxy s.
Anybody notice a quick screen flicker sometimes?? Seems to happen when brightness changes.. Or maybe when I use the battery saver mode. Thing Is I haven't been able to consistently replicate the issue so I dunno if it's normal/problem..Everything else is great.

Seems to be auto brightness issue, i've noticed it today.

I got my GT 10.1 this past Monday and I have noticed auto brightness changes quite frequently. I can't figure out why. I don't think I am blocking the sensor but I don't know where it is...
Has anyone else had this issue? It's making me dizzy so I just turned off the auto setting but it seems like it should work.
Yes, mine does the same. I assume the sensor is next to the front camera, which I'm not obstructing. But the brightness level will change rapidly. I had to disable the feature. Found it default to a level too dark most of the time anyway.
I agree with it being too dark. At least I know I'm not the only one with the issue.
Same issue with me. Turned it off. I read that auto brightness burns more battery than full brightness cause it's constantly asking the CPU to make a decision regarding brightness.

Interesting. I always thought that one if the purposes of auto brightness was to conserve the battery.

I had this problem too. It would constantly change so i had to disable it.
Maybe samsung can put a fix out for it.
I imagine the algorithm included is very simple and uses very few cpu cycles, so I doubt it has an impact on battery life. Especially since it probably doesn't (shouldn't) run when the screen is off, so it shouldn't prevent the device from sleeping.
I agree the levels they have set are much too dim and make auto-brightness just about useless. I had the opposite problem with my Captivate, where the auto-brightness as too bright. Fortunately CM7 allows you to adjust the levels for auto-brightness. I hope we see something similar show up in a custom rom for the Galaxy Tab 10.1
Anyway, I keep mine set at 20% and that seems to work pretty well for me.
Where do you see the brightness percentage? I have a slider but don't see a percentage anywhere.
It's an approximation on my behalf.
I notice the same problem especially when holding the device vertically with my right hand on the front facing camera. I guess the ambient sensor is located somewhere where my hand is and thinks that I'm in dark room and automatically lowers the brightness. I also noticed that the brigthness change whenever I touch the screen so i guess its listening every time you touch the screen unlike the ipad where it refreshes evertytime it wakes up.

Hi,
I bought a Nexus 7 32GB Wifi version yesterday from Carphonewarehouse.
I brought it home and it asked to update, I let it update to 4.2, with automatic brightness my screen is very dim, I mean its not nice to view with automatic brightness as it seems to dim the screen to much.
I know people are having problems with latest update etc, as I updated immediately when turning on device etc I cannot be sure if this is due to the update or it was like it before the update, I would like to use automatic brightness to conserve power but it seems to dim the brightness to much and I also notice the brightness level adjusts quite a bit in same lighting and is very noticeable when viewing screen.
When using full brightness the screens brilliant.
Is this part of the 4.2 bugs ?
I disabled auto sync for Google Currents to help some performance issues for now.
As this is my first tablet and updated immediately I can't compare differences between updates to know if its just a bug.
How long does it take to charge the tablet fully approx ? as mine seems to take ages, again I am aware this is possibly another bug after 4.2 update.
PS: I here that I should have got a £15 Google credit but never got an email and I had to pay by card when I purchased a £2 app as no option to choose Google credit only to pay by card. Was this a limited time offer or something as am gutted I not got it ?
Thanks for any help/advice!

Hi,
Unfortunately the screen flickers issue is a well known issue to nexus 7. Since you just bought it, I would recommend exchange it and hope you get a good one. Mine is having the same issue but I kinda get used to it. Good luck...

If automatic brightness does not work the way you want turn it off. Flicker gone.
It is a checkbox under settings / display.
I like mine best with brightness set to about 50%. An added bonus is that really extends battery life.
I highly suggest giving lux a try. I bought it because I found the minimum brightness on the n7 was too bright for night reading. It has a lot of settings to tailor the auto brightness to your taste. I turned off the android auto brightness and set the manual brightness almost all the way down and let lux adjust it from there.
4.2 totally screwed up automatic brightness, made it super sensitive. best option right now is to turn it off and change thaw brightness manually
Thanks everyone for replying, gonna just turn off auto brightness and set it to 50%, its ok at 50%, thanks much appreciated!
Fingers crossed an update will sort the sensitivity out.

What does the flicker everyone refers to about auto brightness look like? I don't think I experience this issue. It may be the lighting I have around doesn't cause it.
What I DO have an issue with is low brightness either manual or auto in dim rooms where I don't want to be blinded, is the flickering caused by WiFi signal being low. This isn't the same issue others refer to here is it?

If it flickers on manual - you have a different issue.
Some devices have screens that are significantly dimmer than others on all brightness settings (I've had 4 so I should know). I've got an n7 that the screen is virtually unusable on auto under some conditions. I complained and got a replacement and they've never bothered picking up the faulty one. My Mrs has it now and it doesn't bother her but, side by side with my n7, its a massive difference. If it bothers you return it because it'll really get on your nerves after a while.

my device died anyway so took back for replacement. I decided not to update to 4.2 as auto brightness works excellent without update and no bugs either so will wait for a more stable update, much happier now. Thanks!

Hi
Has anyone noticed on their S4 that when you go onto the internet the screen brightness dims slightly? (happens on some other apps as well. I have got the brightness set to max and turned auto brightness off.
Does anyone know why this is happening?
This is a battery saving trick implemented by Samsung. Amoled screens eat up more juice on the white pixels and not much on the black ones. That's why the theme is dark too. There have been a few threads about this issue already, if you want more details.

My setup for auto brightness is +2
Reaction time from dark into sunlight is almost immediately
Reaction time from sunlight into darker area takes almost forever. It takes almost complete darkness for the screen to go back!!
Normal or not??
Thanks for any reply.

I noticed that too - The screen get brighter in a matter of nanoseconds but when I am in a dark environment it takes a minute or two and sometimes it never turns the brightness down. Hope they'll fix that with an update or something soon.
Anyway, what I did to go past that is turning down the brightness and then setting it back to auto brightness when I am in a dark environment.
Normal. But rubbish. Lol.

I have the exact same issue with my S5 when power saving is enable...
I disabled power saving mode for now.
Check out Lux Auto Brightness. I can't live without it.

Hi Guys!
Everybody knows there are some roms, which have fully working Always On Display. I'm also using one of that roms, but I faced with a problem. Before the night I used the phone with the lowest brightness, and it worked fine. For the night I left switched on the AOD. After I woke up I saw that my phone's screen is flickering on the lowest brightness.
This is my second S5 dead like this...
this might be the answer to my query about why ive been seeing so many dead/dying displays as of late. Using AOD on a display that wasnt built for it is never a good idea. The AMOLED designed for this phone is over 3 years old (design-wise) not a good idea to torture it like one would with an AOD
Wow! Nice finding, thanks for sharing. Sorry for your losses. I'm glad I've never flashed those ROMs.
