Hey i received an update for the Always On Display (update number 1.1.22)
after i updated the app i noticed that the AOD is much dimmer in some places than it was before
also i noticed that my girlfriend's s7 AOD is much brighter than mine in the same areas (they were the same before the update)
is there a way to undo the update? (was update through galaxy apps)
Thanks in advance
As far as I know, the AOD dimming is introduced in APD1 and later firmware updates. What is your firmware version ?
Yep, they pretty much ruined the entire feature. Its now too dim to see in anything but outside in full sunlight. Indoors its pretty much just a black screen now. Been a month, they still havent fixed it.
The update is to solve screen burning, this is why is dimmer now.
Cheers.
No, it never burned in since it was always moving. Now it is so dim that i cant even see it, rendering the entire feature useless.
It must be a bug, it cant possible be intended.
Dunno if you tried it but I noticed my AOD accomodates with the lighting condition in the room but im often sitting in the corner where I face the light so when I turn it off I face it to the light so the AOD would be bright. weird habit for now huh hahahah
Still annoys me to hell that they basically took one of the best features of the phone and essentially ruined it (so dark its unreadable indoors, if you dont have a ceiling light shining straight on the sensor). Just by a single little forced software update. Why couldnt they just provide a simple brightness slider in the AOD settings?
Third party AOD apps exist that allow complete brightness control, but sadly none of them run with the samsung AOD "tech" so they all keep the phone hot and running as if fully awake, draining battery more than just the pixels being lit do.
just done the update this morning and I didn't notice difference in the brightness of the AOD. it remained the same. are you sure your dim situation is not caused by some setting, which was reset after the update ? For example, It happened to the fingerprint lock setting in my phone, which become corrupted, unusable after the update. I need to delete the previously saved fingerprint and add a new one again for it to work.
100% certain it was the update. I literally can barely see the AOD indoors anymore. Before the update it was always very bright and vibrant.

How often does your clock move on your screen, because mine stays stationary unless I turn the screen on and it turn it off again, then it'll change to a different position.
Hello everyone. I understand that some of my questions might already have solutions. I did do a search but the results I got were either irrelevant or no solution found across long threads.
1. Brightness
I noticed that the minimum brightness in Nougat is higher compared to that in Marshmallow. Before, I could barely see my screen in a bright room at 0% brightness and even in a dark room 0% was too dim. I would have to 10-15%. Now at 0% in a pitch black room, it still feels a bit too bright and my head hurts from it.
My question is: is there a way to lower the brightness further or is my nougat update buggy? Like perhaps for you guys, the lowest brightness is the same as in marshmallow.
2. People's edge.
The colors around the rings of my favourite contacts are gone. I found a thread that mentioned it but failed to see the solution. Is there a way to fix this?
3. My settings shortcuts (the one located on top of the settings menu in a 3 x 3 grid i believe) is gone. I cant seem to access it anymore. Did Samsung remove it?
4. Gallery app
My gallery background is white which doesnt look as good as the marshmallow version. Specially because its white whenever I tap a pic to bring the picture menu up while black when the menu isnt on. Thats really annoying as I spend a lot of time in my gallery.
Can I revert the gallery from nougat back to marshmallow?
5. Does samsung intend to deploy a bug fix or is this the final version?
I must apologize if any of my questions are silly or worse. I am not used to upgrading OS or even fixing bugs.
Thank you for reading my long post. I would give you a potato if I could! :3
Hello everyone. My english is poor and sorry for that. I was in Switzerland and brought cheap S7 edge. Man tells me that have a problem with displey. It is true. I used phone a day trying to fix him or get better option tu use. After a 5 hours of much work I get some options. My S7 Edge works well when light sensor detects light. It cant be less light, its must me right under the light or to get flashlight on phone. I chek that with oder phone, put flashlight on sensor and everything was okey, get off the sensor all got in chaos. I recorded that and will post youtube link here.
Any options what to do?
PS. Its cheked so much time and working, please dont joke me and reply non thead popst. Thanks.
So.. The way I understand it is that u have problem with auto light, that your phone has to be on full brightness for the screen to be good. What happens if u just turn auto light off and put brightness on the screen on full? Good then?
I would take a video of this issue, but I don't have a good enough camera. It's really, really hard to capture unless you have good video recording tech, which I don't have. :crying:
My issue is that, when I set the brightness to its lowest level on my Zenfone 3, the screen starts flickering. This is especially noticeable with white backgrounds. You can tell that the screen is flickering (perhaps refreshing?) rapidly and it makes the phone painful to look at.
Someone actually created a thread about this issue here on XDA a few months ago, with a video showing this issue, but unfortunately, the video doesn't capture the flickering properly. Here: https://forum.xda-developers.com/zenfone-3/help/ze520kl-low-screen-light-level-20-t3603502
How to reproduce:
-Turn auto-brightness off
-Slide brightness bar all the way to the left (AKA to the lowest level)
-Open a white background/grayish background or blank page in Chrome
-Screen starts flickering
It happens across the phone, and intermittently. Sometimes it happens, sometimes it doesn't. In Chrome, in games, whatever. I once thought it could be related to charging the phone, but the screen has flickered on low brightness even when my phone wasn't plugged in, and at 70-80% battery. I might try resetting the phone to see if it's a software defect; I really hope it is.
Turning off hardware overlays in Developer Options does not resolve this issue.
I'm currently on ASUS stock Nougat, unrooted. I can't root right now. I don't have any screen overlays apart from CF.Lumen, which isn't set to come on during the day, when the flickering happens, and I don't use any screen color modes apart from the default settings. I also always have auto-brightness turned off.
Just wondering if anyone else is having this issue. I might try recording it one day.
Thanks.
Update 1: Removed my 64GB SD Card from the phone to see if that made a difference. It didn't. So the flickering isn't related to power management, AFAIK.
Next step is to wipe the phone completely, including its cache partition from stock recovery, and set the phone up as new again. It might be a hardware issue, but my fingers are crossed.
I've had this issue since I got the phone, ZE552KL. Turning off auto brightness fixes it for me, so I have a feeling it has more to do with ASUS' auto brightness algorithms than anything else.

I always have auto-brightness turned off. I think it might have to do with the ambient light sensor. I've tested it using SMMI and it works just fine. But I wish there was a way to disable it, since I don't need it. I'm kind of disappointed in this phone.
I'm going to try a full reset, and perhaps a custom ROM to see if it's a hardware or software issue.
Hello community,
After a while I have the Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge, my accidently dropped from the screen side.
Screen started blinking white at the down side and half above of screen is green.
The interesting thing is when you are outside like sunny weather, if you set the brightness to the full the problem will be fixed! Unless you go to a darker place.
I took it to a repair shop, they said the LCD is broken and it must be replaced. For some reasons in our country it is too expensive for us to replace it.
Are they saying the truth? Including the solution I mentioned above, is LCD totally broken?
The second problem is I can't turn auto brightness off completely. When I disable it my phone still do some adjustments for the brightness of the screen and causes flickering at the lower brightness.
I almost searched the Internet to find out how to disable the proximity sensor. But I didn't see any helpful solution.
Sorry for bad English.
Thank you for reading.

pls some help me for disabling the proxymity sensor
There was an app called Hardware disabler that I used on my Note to disable the proximity sensor. I think it needs root an was not in the playstore, but it worked fine for years.
