Always on Display - "Brighter Display" - LG G6 Questions and Answers

Does this make AOD brighter for anyone? Thinking this may be something that may need to be fixed on a patch because I see no difference....

I see no difference either and IMO it's useless sadly

I see no difference as well.

Does the AOD dim at all?

Having problem with auto brightness

I got note 3 days ago. I notice that The brightness always jumping, sometime happen with open application with white background.
Wonder any one have the same problem or just me. I'm on the KJ4 Kernel

I have the same problem
I got the same kernel but without the auto brightness jump you are experiencing, unless I move my hand over the camera.
I suggest goto Settings --> Display and un-tick "Auto adjust screen power" if it's on and see if that makes any difference.
Auto-brightness is hopeless anyway, turn it off, as well as the setting Bigmile mentioned. Then, to make quick on-the-fly adjustments to your Note's brightness long press in the notifications area and slide left and right till you get the brightness you want. Much better way IMO.

Galaxy S and SII were the same, but still surprisingly little known feature.

Just switch from iPhone. IPhone have perfect auto brightness adjustment. However I still like the note very mush as it have nice BIG screen.
Hope it will fix in future update anyway.

define applications with white backgrounds?
if youre referring to the browser, it has its own independent brightness setting that can be adjusted inside the browser.

I call my self an enthusiast and I didn't knew that? Well, the saying "You learn something new every day" is proven once more.
Been using android since launch(I guess it was implemented on GB?) and I admit I NEVER thought of sliding the notification bar icons neihter left or right in the way NZtechfreak suggested.
It's possible that I might have done it by accident, but even IF I did, I did not even noticed it. You got my Thanks.

I wish the "auto-brightness" on all devices worked like it does on the Note 10.1!

Like most other Android devices, the Note 10.1 has an "Auto Brightness" option. However, unlike most other Android devices (in my experience so-far), you can further tweak the brightness even when "Auto Brightness" is enabled, effectively adjusting the sensitivity of the auto-brightness mechanism.
Try it in a very dark room. With "Auto brightness" ticked in the pop-up notification panel, the screen should be relatively dark. Move the slider all the way to the right, and it will add a little bit of extra brightness, but still be quite dark. Move it all the way to the left, and it will subtract a bit of brightness, making it even more dark - even though Auto Brightness is still selected and operational.
Some have said suggested before that doing this adjusts a "maximum brightness". This is not the case (as illustrated by what happened in a darkened room). Instead, this adds a little or subtracts a little from the brightness that would be determined by the auto brightness setting.
i have a note10.1 and galaxy s3, auto brightness both work as you say with the newest firmware.
though the s3 was like other android devices, in recent jb stock roms it changed.
so i guess all samsung devices will have such autobrightness,if a new stock rom comes.actually it just works as what ios autobrightness do.

yep, I love the "Manual Auto-Brightness" feature!! ALL ROMS should have this!!

Well, my experience is the same as others -- it's either auto or manual. I don't know how the "auto-manual" can be enabled. I am assuming they are describing something similar to iOS where you adjust the brightness slider, and the auto-adjustment is relative to that. I find the auto-brightness a bit too dark for my taste, but don't want to keep it at top brightness non-stop. So I use Lux Auto Brightness (I opted for the free app) and have been happy with the results.
Hmm.... I'm on the leaked JB rom (Dr. Akrim version). I never spent time with stock ICS so not sure if this is the difference.
On this ROM, the Auto check box stays on as you move the slider.

This probably works only on JB.
It does not work on stock ICS for me
And ditto about auto brightness being too dark.
I usually have to turn it off.

Hey I am on ics, on the very first build, didn't do any updates. For me the brightness thing works like a charm. Maybe check your settings or something

Xperia phones work exactly the same way. AFAIK its only HTC phones who have crappy auto britghtness.
I have auto -manual mode but I'am on an old firmware from july even before the tab is released

I can adjust the slider while auto is on, but there is no difference when i slide it.
I´m on ICS, and Samsung had better named it: Auto Darkness
The way it is, it is completely useless.

Very true. It is undoubtedly the best implementation of auto brightness. I'm loving it.
I think I might now know what issue you might have.
Maybe you covered the the top bezel, the one opposite of the samsung logo. If you do this then the light sensor thinks you're in a dark room and reduces the brightness to almost the lowest level.
Sent from my GT-N8010 using xda app-developers app
i think the auto brightness is ALWAYS just a teeny bit too dark, even if its slided all the way to the right. I would love it if i could "slide it a little more to the right", that the slider was a little more sensitive, allowing more tweaking on the auto levels.

I haven´t covered the sensor.
Auto is ALWAYS too dark for me.
When I drag slider, auto gets turned off
I found out why it was always too dark. I had energy mode switched on.

Galaxy s4 screen throttling

Anyone notice throttling on the screen in terms of contrast tone and brightness. You cannot turn it off no matter what settings you choose. One good example is when you pull up the keyboard and the brightness is fairly low, there's a huge color shift that pops up till the keyboard tray is gone again. Could a kernel fix this?

i am trying to get some help from international model guys on this; mine DOES NOT change contrast and brightness if i disable every auto feature AND ALL POWER SAVING features. I have seen this on another GS4 and not on my own or my GF's with everything disabled. I wonder if there is a difference in screens or part batches and sensitivity or a different controller chip; another thing im looking into.
also the ambient light sensor; try covering it completely. i think that and the 'auto detect/modify screen contrast/colors' is running no matter what on certain GS4's.

i have calibrated many monitors before; maybe when the bootloader is unlocked and there is a full ROM dump someone could assist me to find the screen calibration adjustments so i can create a professional AdobeRGB and sRGB profile for the screen as well as rec 709 full and 16-235 video modes etc. I am not the only one interested in this; the Galaxy S III, Note II, and Google Nexus 7 are all excellent candidates for field monitors with excellent gamut. I just want mine to display colors as accurately as is possible for the moment; i keep all my demo reel footage and music videos i shot on it; a proper 'flat' image is important before editing, and my company we shoot raw, yet even a simple 8 bit example of before/after editing in raw environment would help our clients.
This is the first mobile full HD screen capable of such broadcast range of gamut; would be incredible to use as proper field monitor with correct calibrations.

Always On Display : how to control with tasker

Well,
One of the lacks of our G6 is the notification led.
And I hate with allways display being allways on....
Anyone knows a way we can task to turn on always on display only when we have a new notification?
I think it whould be great and very battery friendly!
Cheers
Sent from my LG-H870 using XDA-Developers Legacy app
There are some 3rd parties apps in play store, search ambient display.
Ok. I will.
But I whould like to use the default allways on display, but with this settings!
Cheers
Sent from my LG-H870 using XDA-Developers Legacy app
Me too, I would prefer also an implementation more like ambient display with gestures.
Also interested in that feature. It would be awesome if the screen just comes on when there is a new notification. It makes no sense to have it on all the time.
I don't know why lg does not implement this feature but packs all the "second screen" menus from the v10 as hidden menus into the g6.
The g6 is awesome (even with 32gb, no quad dac and ir... come on lg... but i bought it anyways), but now i just found out how much i miss the notification led from my gnex and i can't tolerate excessive battery drain by having an lcd on all day when there is no new information.
What “exzessive battery drain“?

it makes sense to have it always on because
... In the pocket it is automatically off and also when it is lying on the front.
There is no battery drain. Test it.

Yes it switches off but for me it does not need to be on when there is no notification.
That would reduce the drain even more when >90% of the time there is nothing to be seen and if i want to see the time i can switch it on myself.
Just as an alternative to the missing notification led. Would be a very handy feature to minimize the backlight time and still see notifications and i am sure others would love that too.

Okay I agree with the LED. It is a fine feature.
I want AOD also for the time so it has to be shown.
Otherwise more customizations would be nice.
In your case "show only new notifications" for example.
LG has to consider that it should be not to complicated.
I was hoping we would get background images like samsungs on AOD.
Anyone to help with a tweak or something?

Of course there's a battery drain. It may be minimized but it's definitely there.
LG wouldn't include a switch for it in battery saver if it didn't.

The setting is not named aod_mode. If someone would find out what is this settings name, we could manage it with Tasker. I for sure would like to have AOD on, only when I have a notification.
Sent from my LG-H870 using Tapatalk
Guess I'm on the other side of the coin, I think this complaint is ridiculous, I like the AOD notification or not, with the addition of an led notification it would better.. It doesn't drain enough battery for me to care, if you don't want to see it turn the phone over or keep in pocket. Unless you're creeping and don't your partner to see you have a text (lol) its a non complaint IMO.

I love the AOD. It was very annoying to doubt tap my Pixel every time just to see if there is a notification. Battery life is pretty good still. I can't see this using maybe 5-6% over a charge.

Pixel shifting app

I was just wondering if there is a separate app that can do something similar to the "prevent burn-in by shifting pixels every..." In the smart pixel feature that I noticed in RR rom for the v20 that works regardless of what the user is doing. Maybe it could help get rid of this screen burn-in that some others and I experience?

Or you could try using a custom kernel that supports kcal and adjust the color settings to reduce ghosting and screen retention

Doesn't really work for me. I've lowered the rgb values down to 220 and although it's not as bad as higher values it's still visible when anything on the screen stays in one place for a while.
Maybe I'm just sensitive to it or something because I never had a device with an lcd that has this issue.

What percentage is your brightness on usually ?
It varies because I use lux but on average I'd estimate around 50-60%. I know the screen being brighter probably induces it more but it's easier on my eyes when in the little room that I use it in.

That is my theory. Brightness over 50% for extended periods causes this problem.
Indoors I have mine at 25%. No sign of any ghosting a year later and i should say the same with the G4 too.
I got used to lower brightness for battery reasons. My laptop is on zero and even that is just right indoors.
Outdoors is a different story.
1.flash kernel that support KCAL (im using M2000)
2.download Color Control app:
https://android-apk.org/re.codefi.savoca.kcal/
3. give root access if asked
4. set value as image attached.
5. wait for about 10-20mins (screen on)
6. youre good to go
* dont forget to set on boot color control
