I have this light spot on my screen. It is visible at very low / low screen brightness levels. It is clearly visible when I use screen filter to reduce brightness at night. When I use higher brightness levels then I cannot see the light spot anymore.
I took photo of the screen and marked the light spot. Photo is grainy and pinkish, but thats from the camera, not in the phone's screen.
Do anyone else have this kind of screen problem?

I took the phone to the warranty service and they replaced the whole screen So no problems anymore!

I am currently running JPA/JPB Hybrid firmware and I was wondering if there even is a sensor for the auto-brightness.
Normaly I have set my brightness to the lowest level, which is enough for indoor usage. But as soon as I am outdoors in the sunlight I can't even tell if the display is on or off with this brightness level.
Now the strange thing about this is that it does not seem to make a difference whether you check the "Power saving mode" in the Display settings or not - the Display brightness always stays the same:
- with the highest level it does not get darker in very dark rooms to save battery
- with the lowest level it does not get brighter even in direct sunlight, which makes the display unusable
On the left of the Samsung-logo there are 2 "holes", I guess one must be the proximity sensor and the other one the brightness sensor?
Is there any way to have the brightness on a very low level in dark rooms and on a high level in bright rooms / outdoor WITHOUT switching manually? Even switching with a widget sucks, because outdoors the display is so dark that I can't even draw the pattern to unlock the screen first (at least not without covering the display from the sunlight)
If there is I think the driver is missing so it's useless.
There is a brigness sensor, not for auto adjusting the screen brighness, for example try *#0*# and press sensor, now if you put you finger on the sensor, you phone vibrates, it means it is dark, if your finger is not on the sensor, it says, its brighten outside, that is for example to telephone, the screen goes dark, when you put the phone to your ears
"that is for example to telephone, the screen goes dark, when you put the phone to your ears"
No, that's the proximity sensor, and I think there is no light sensor in SG3, because that test app shows only proximity, accelerometer and magnetic sensor.

Power Saving is not for dynamically change the strenght of backlight. It's just turning to lowest level when your battery is 15% and less.
And there is 2 holes, for proximity sensor. Try to cover one hole, and it doesn't work. Why? Because 1 hole sending an infrared (I think...) wave, and second is receiving that back, from eg., your hand.

totaly makes sense - thank you very much!
i notice that my display is not uniform ... first i notice when i pull down my notification bar. But seems to be on dark grey or dark pink as well. I can see clearly when is not much light in room. Is just mine or is a common problem? Sry for bad quality pics.
even worse
Hi,
same with my S5. You can see the non uniformity best when the background is grey and the brightness low:
Can someone post a picture of his S5 at the lowest brightness with grey background to show how it should look with a uniform screen?
So mine turns pink/reddish when setting the lowest brightness setting (ambient display on) - you have to be in a pitch black or very dark room.
When its off, it still does it but its not that bad.
EDIT: If yours does turn pink, will you RMA?
Mine does this as well. I rarely ever see the brightness go that low so it doesn't bother me that much. However what does bother me, is at 50% brightness unless i am looking at the screen dead center the screen has a redish, bluish, or greenish hue on it. Was very yellow the first day I had it, but the yellowish hue is gone.
I have adaptive on. Last night I set my brightness all of the way down. For the first time I saw a slight pink hue. Increasing the brightness fixed this. I am not sure if turning off ambient would have fixed it. If I see it again I'll try turning it off.
I thought was a known feature of amoled. I'm guessing they will all do it at low brightness.
Mine actually got worse. When I first noticed it, it was acceptable. Now its almost reddish already. Some people say its actually a feature of AMOLED. However, when I tried it on a different AMOLED Screen, Note 3 and 4 - i didnt see it.
No, I tried with adaptive brightness on and off and can find no color changes except maybe a slight blue hue when tilting the device and then almost rainbow effect at close to 180 degrees. Guess I got a good screen.
Hi,
I am using S8 SM-G950FD on stock android 8.0.0 from year+, all of a sudden the display on the screen has turned yellowish, i have tried the adaptive display option and changed the RGB to max and low and the settings for edge colour but the display is still yellowish.
Also noticed another thing: If the brightness is <50% the yellowtinge with black lines come up but if >50% then the display is fine.
I tried to click photos/ take screen shots but the yellowish is not visible on photo, but the dark horizontal lines on whitebackground are clearly visible. have not dropped the phone but this has begun suddenly.
when the phone is under bright light the automatic brightness increases the brightness of screen and the display is clear, when the phone is moved into low brightness the mentioned issue comes up
Any suggestions on how can i resolve this?
Any help is appreciated, phone is out of warranty. Is there any any replacement circular for galaxy s devices, like FOC?
I've noticed weird brightness issue at Auto Brightness turned off and when I set it at full. It is actually going even brighter when is brighter outside and it's getting darker again when going into darker environment and it is making me crazy because firstly I don't want my battery to drain more when using brightness sensor and actually don't like the feeling of brightness going up and down that's why I TURNED OFF autobrightness. Could you reproduce the same behavior?

Yes i have this when dark mode is turned on, Even with Auto brightness off it will still change the brightness when i am outside in the bright sun and it also changes the way the text appears adding sort of black lines on the edges of the letters (to give it more contrast ?). It's a feature not an issue i think it also doesn't happen indoors even when lights change. For some reason it only happens when it's very bright outside.

Yeah, but every feature should have "turn off" button, but Xiaomi couldn't help it with forcing something on us as always...
Under Settings/Display/Contrast & colors try using either Increased contrast or Standard. NOT Automatic contrast.
