Hey guys, can someone else with the samsung note 4 exynos model try their phone in direct sunlight on auto brightness and tell me if the screen kicks into a super bright mode with high contrast and strange colours? You have to be in direct sunlight with auto brightness turned up. I'm getting paranoid about this and not sure whether to swap mine. I know samsung have just added assertive displays to the exynos models and possibly now snapdragon but not sure if this is whats going on.. it almost makes some colours look fluro.
Yes it does, it is normal.

Hope they get rid of this feature soon then.. it triggers so easily.
And it looks terrible, thought my screen had broke first time it did it.

Glad im not the only one then.. do your colours kind of go fluro?
Hmm just took my samsung tab s outside in bright light and it did the same must just be much more pronounced on the qhd display
At first I didn't like it, comes it makes the phone look all weird, but after a while I've really come to like it, especially when driving, I've reliazed, never once was it hard to view the display. Which IMO is awesome! I've never had a smartphone I could always accurately see the screen, in every type of light
I do outdoor hiking and I use the phone for navigation and taking photos. You do have to set the auto brightness to On for it to boost the screen brightness but it triggers after u turn on the phone screen instead if consistently. Battery is not an issue because I carry spare batteries
Anyway to keep the screen on at its Max brightness consistently? II don't care about color distortions either as long as I can see things!

I hope they don't, I want to be able to see my screen under sunlight.
Maybe tweak the levels a bit so that it doesn't activate until absolutely necessary, but removing it completely? Why? So people can start threads about how they can't see their screen outdoors?

this is a great feature, why should they remove it? if people fine it annoying , just untick the auto brigtness job done

Under bright sunlight...the display becomes little washed out....more of a yellowish color??? This do not happen always...something to do with the sensor?? Is this normal or issue with the display??

It's normal behavior; for some reason, Samsung decided to boost the contrast and brightness (only works when auto brightness is enabled) when display is under direct sunlight in order to make readability better, when you compare how you can actually use the display under sunlight compared to other older AMOLED panels, it's a small trade off to give. :good:

I wonder why is this even an issue? It helps you see in bright sunlight and it works. So... why not?

I used s5 and note 3 earlier but didnt notice this, so it was bit wierd to notice it on note 4 given that it has more superior display. I will send a screenshot later, may b that would be more convincing to understand.
It happens only when brightness is kept on auto!!

I know... I understand what you mean. I do not know how to turn it off (maybe Adaptive Display in colour settings).
But IMO i dont see the problem as without that feature I wouldnt be able to see properly in bright daylight. I know the colours and contrast is slightly affected, but it wouldnt impede usage. It's such a great feature from Samsung that I have come to enjoy.

Note 4 is a firsy phone with that feature. I think only way to disable it is to uncheck "auto" when using in direct sunlight.

Let me start by telling you that I am a fan of LG screens and lcds and I can't stand the AMOLEDs on cellphones and the unnatural colors. I have an LG TV, LG monitor and had G2 and the G3. I am a new owner of the G4 that I just purchased yesterday.
The reason I switched to this phone is to have better camera and better visibility in sunlight which is where I work. I work outside and need good sunlight visibility and take a lot of photos and videos outside.
The problem I have and I'm sure all the G4 owners will have this, is that the color of the screen fades out especially the greys and the blacks on screen. I'm not having the typical light bleed here. the whole screen fades out almost turning very very grey with texts and other colors fade out in color.
Its doing it on a cloudy day as well. Ive swtiched the phone out to a new G4 because of this problem and the issue is still there with the new phone. I'm really shocked by this because all of the reviews going around the net are raving how its visibility is great in sunlight!
I think LG messed up really bad here, made the display awesome indoors and wasn't fully aware that the lcd is sensitive to sunlight.
I was wondering if anyone else is noticing this problem.
To do the test, go to a random website or some site with text which is more noticeble than other colors(grey texts turn really white so its a better test), hold the phone out for 3-5 seconds then look at the phone. You'll notice that the texts are very grey or even white. It has to be done in natural sunlight. It wont work in indoor lighting.
Then turn the phone upside down for 3-5 seconds then look at the text again to see it come back to dark black or visible color.
Please tell me I'm not the only one noticing this....
I might never come back to LG after this one... At least for my cellphones...
I don't even think it's fixable with firmware updates... oh and my brightness is on 100% when I test it. I've tried it with auto as well and same thing with the first G4 and the new G4 I switched out.
I would hate to pay a restocking fee of $50 just to return the phone.... LG what should I do?!
Yes - I've seen this twice when outdoors at work this week. Hoping it's a software issue they can address? What has been said in the past?
Thanks for the reply. I hope its a software issue as well but I doubt it... I looked all over the internet and not one thing has been said...
I can't believe all the reviews are raving about the visibility outside.... how is this better than G3??? even the G2 had better visibility
I think its like the Note 4 it goes into a high contrast mode, but I use Lux Light for auto brightness and it doesnt do it anymore
Agree on that.
Additional the display isnt as bright as LG made me belive, my G2 is noticable more bright than my G4 ?

This is a design by LG - to lessen the contrast in direct sunlight, so that you can supposedly can see more. If you cover the light sensor, it'll revert. It only does it at 98% brightness or higher.
It doesn't help me, but it's doing what it's supposed to..
I have lux full version and it still does that...

Yes, that's because LUX controls brightness, not contrast.
You're talking about the contrast changing to lessen when under bright sunlight, no?
Did I completely misunderstand this thread?
How is that a design... Its not contrast... It doesnt do that indoors... It fades out everything

You can't replicate this indoors when you have 100% brightness on? That's weird, because I can...
How is it not contrast? Darker colors are not as dark in comparison to the lighter colors...
Does this video work for you:
https://www.reddit.com/r/lgg4/comments/38hfrw/lg_g4_the_little_things_hidden_features_maybe_not/
Yeah it doesn't detect it tell the lux gets really high, but if you take a flashlight to your sensor it will turn on. But either way its still easy enough for me to read I dunno guess I got good eyesight
I just took whole bunch of pictures of my kids at the pool full sun. I have a nexus 5 and 6 and the G4 is almost in another league as far as outdoor visibility imo. At least with the camera app. Haven't had the phone for long so will have to report back if I see this issue

Sorry, but I don't know. My eyes have gotten used to this, but I'll admit - it was weird in the beginning because I started thinking that my phone had weird viewing angles and thought it was a defect.

It does actually. Most text isn't gray, it's like the note 4 would do the same thing

Good to hear it's by design. Still weird though - came from a note 3 and it didn't do that. Will now relax!

I use google keep for my main home screen and I hate how it fades out... At least give us an option to turn it on and off...
Is there a hidden settings in the phone where I can change it maybe??
I'm try to find something myself as well.

The funny thing is that when I called LG from the Tmobile store they didnt even know about it. Thats why they swapped out the phone for me. Good CS
Hey I have s7 edge g935f .. with the exynos.. as the most of you know the s7 edge has a big problem with the screen . It adjust auto without the auto enable . . While watching videos on bs player or mx player I have been notice that the screen brightness change itself . I had the same problem with s6 edge .. can please someone tell me how to fix thiss problem? It's very disturbed ..... nougat 7.0 stock. No rooted . Stock kernel.
Edit:I should mention that when the phone is on dark place or a place with many lights the screen do the same thing. The screen adjust change auto. So maybe it's a sensor I don't know
I give you a hint. It is under the Advanced features. Not a problem but a feature.

Can someone help me or I have to throw the phone on the garbages?
Someone please . .
Things to try:
1. Go to Settings->Advanced Features->Video Enhancer and turn it OFF.
2.Open MX Player->tap 3 dots in upper right corner->Settings->Player->Screen->tick off the Brightness checkbox
Try these two solutions and report back!
Good luck

Hey dude. I done it right? I think the problem is with a sensor because if something cover the sensors in the area wirh the camerw then the screen auto brightness itself. Is the video enhance off? See the photo

No man. I think the prpblem is a sensor . But i heard all the s7 edge users have the same issue as me . What about you?
Man if something covers the sensors which are on the camera at the left, the brightness auto change itself .... also if i go in a darj place then the same thing. Or if i go in a place which have a lot of sun or light. THATS WHY I HATEEE this phone.. i paid 500 euros for it and i dont believe its happening
Well i found the issue but i dont know how to fix it. Well i download a sensor test app from google play that lets you test the sensor . I went to the light sensor and put my finger on the top of the phone where is the selife camera and i realise that when the auto brightness is off the screen is dim, and the sensor shows 0.0. When i change off the auto brightness and put my finger on the sensor the same thing happens. So its a problem from the sensor not a feature or settings. What i mean, i mean that when rhe auto brightness is off then the screen brightness change itself LIKE WHEN YOU CHOOSE ON THE AUTO BRIGHTNESS. Well i dont have any other option from put this s.hit phone on street so a car can break it. I dont belive itttttt
Any way to fix this annoying bug ?
I have the same issue, Samsung is ****, I'm switching to Apple
Hey Guys, This problem is also on the S8 and Note 8... I tried it in the stores
Don't Buy Samsung products, You'll end up dissappointed
Their Auto Brightness is a joke, It works when it's off too, And you can't turn it off
They don't want you to use high brightness because then their screens will have burn in quickly because they are cheap
and their batteries won't last too much
Oh wait.. And the SIM tray is Plastic haha, It broke and my sim card got stuck inside
Are you kidding me Samsung, This expensive phone has a Plastic SIM tray?
You must learn from Apple, They use Metal SIM Trays since 2010 or so.

Agreed , plastic sim tray , auto brightness bug, color peeling of around the usb ports. There are signs of sub standard built quality. But tell me honestly which other android phone has the best premium build quality without any issues. And apple , although fast and better build, its so much closed and limited OS, and pay for everything policy, forces oneself to choose android, and i wont say that others like lg, sony, huawei, oppo and htc etc have bad build quality, but they are neither good nor bad then samsung, all have their own downsides , because nothing is perfect, and to stick with what you have until it gets the job done is the best lifestyle. Good day !

so the screen is getting switching to some weird over saturated mode but only when I'm direct sunlight.
adaptive display is disabled and AOD are disabled. It doesnt matter how bright the display is. test at 100 and about 70 brightness outdoors and issue was the same?

You can disable it under display settings. Just go to color scheme and chose standard or saturated.
You can disable it. It makes easier to read under sunlight. Just go into screen setting and disable

I mean screenshots takes photo from what is being show to you,not the display itself myfriend.so the photos you posted all look same to us.
Btw that is a feature of samsung super amoled displays which our devices use,it is to make you read better under direct sunlight.
