Hey guys. My first hours with the SGS2, and there's something annoying me that I couldn't find anywhere.
I'm getting screen brightness variation depending on the image. On darker images the brightness is higher than on brighter images.
I'm pretty sure this is not auto-brightness. I've tested with manual brightness and the effect is there too. It's almost like if there's not enough power for the screen, and when you have more bright pixels, the screen dims.
Has anyone experienced this?
This is specially annoying when scrolling different content, or even when you are on a predominantly white screen and the swype keyboard shows up, making the white area much brighter.
I'm currently on "Normal" on that stupid screen setting (I have image post-processing). Tried movie too, but still shows this behaviour.
Here are two photos using a Nikon D40 in Manual mode. Exposure has not been changed between both photos. I've put them side-by-side for comparision. Brightness was manually set on the SGS2.
Is there a solution to this? Hopefully it's not a hardware problem .
Hmm, can't post image links... Can someone please post them?

EDIT: FOUND THE ANSWER MYSELF
There's a configuration for Energy Automatic Adjustment (don't know if this is the right text as my phone is in Portuguese). Disable that damn thing .

I'm colourblind and I have a bit of a problem working out good settings for the camera.
My main problem is that if I take a picture of something light, one of my pets for example (mainly white in colour) it shows the pet as glowing bright white against the normal coloured background - making the detail impossible to make out on the animal.
I've had a go at fiddling with the brightness and contrast but I can't really tell what effect each of them has so I have made no progress.
What settings do you all use on the camera? Is there a setup which should overcome my problem with things being overwhelmingly white?
I think the camera is just plain awful and I avoid using it as much as possible
Especially at night the screen of the phone is to bright for my opinion.
Is there any app to decrease the brightness of the screen?
Screenfilter
On market + free = Awesome
What a brilliant little app. That is exactly what I've, been looking for...
Superb!
The only remaining thing I'd like would be a way to turn the screen negative too, so that I can flip bright white web pages to being black background instead. Happy to have the distorted photo colours this would induce.
Although thinking laterally, the better way to solve this in the browser itself might be with local css style sheet over-ride, (if it was possible?).
The negative screen mode would still be useful to flip other bright white apps though. Of course ideally, the screen would be negative inverted as well as having this screen filter available too, so that you could convert background to black and still also reduce brightness of text.
Anyone know if such a feature exists, or could be created easily?
Thanks
Mike

SIlly mistake
You don't need an app, just run your finger left/right on the notification bar to increase/decrease brightness.

the minimum brightnes is still too strong in dark, therefore is screenfilter needed
Lowest you can get from the notification bar is down to 8%.
With a few different brightness widgets you can get down to 0%, which is still blindingly bright and not much darker than 8% to be honest... especially at night in a dark room!
This "screen filter" software lets you make the screen much darker than 0% by adding a grey lens over the whole screen for when you want it darker. It works really well.

Wow i didn know screenfilter exist. *Rushing to check it out*. Finally no more blinding light when in my bedroom.
ScreenFilter
don't set it all the way down lol
Hi,
I would like to confirm there is somehing wrong with my amoled display.
If someone could download voodoo display filter from play market and do a quick test for me in the dark.
Open a picture viewer (I use quickpic) find some pictures, now turn the brightness down to minimum, open voodoo display filter and activate it and lower the brightness even more..
If you zoom or scroll between pictures, do you see black rings and all over the screen there is some odd texture?
This does not show up if i don't lower beond stock brightness, but at night i find the screen to shine to mutch..
Help
Ok im not alone, and found the ongoing thread..sorry for dblpost
I've noticed that in the sun some times and more with the camera, the screen will boost its brightness to a level we cannot select. it seems to even change the gamma of the screen where the screens look almost pink. But the result is a really bright and view-able screen in direct sunlight. Anyone know of an add to enable this via an app or some setting?
Also I remember with my Note 3 I could write on the back of the photos, is it not possible anymore?
I'm intrested to this.....but we have to find anyone who knows how to do that...
gekkehenkie11 developed an app for CyanogenMod called MDNIE Tuner which does that. Check the first post here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/note-4/orig-development/official-cm12-910f-910g-t3046965
Not sure if it works with TouchWiz...
Hello guys,
I was hoping to know if you also have this effect on your oneplus 5's.
The best way to describe is when you are on dark screens like twitter's night mode and you have some images with dark margins.
When you scroll up or down, does it appear a trail that disappears after some miliseconds? Like the screen refreshing itself making that trail disappear.
If you wanna try do this: twitter, night mode, follow for instance Nvidia (his logo is black and dark). Then go to home screen of twitter and try to find a nvidia's twitt. When you find it, look to his logo and go up and down. Do you notice something on the image itself? Like a trail of black pixels or blur effect that disappear after a while?
Hope that you can understand me.
Edit: don't know if I can post links here, if not please tell me that I remove it. This link is from Reddit where it appears an image where you can try this effect:

Edit 2: it appears that the effect is more visible on low screen brightness
Best regards.

Yes, I have noticed it as well though I also had it on my OP3. I think it is more of a thing with OLED screens and low brightness.

Yes, I agree. As this happened on my note 4 as well as my axon 7, oneplus 3 and oneplus 5
Yep, I've experienced that once. Dark purple logo on black screen
It happens on Amoled screens when the backlight is low. I have seen the same thing on all my Samsung phones as well.
I also confirm, low brithness OLED screen (samsung s3, s4, s5, s7, op3, op5)
oled are good for low battery consumption and high contrast ratio (blacks).
Otherwise, lcd pannels will be faster and more accurate with colors.
