Check your brightness settings or check the temperature in developer options.
Maybe your screen is too bright or maybe it's a battery issue?

No one has screen dimming problem?

I don't know if screen flicker and screen dimming are the same thing but I encounter a similar issue whenever brightness is below 30 percent.... Other than that my Nexus is flawless besides a rare notification freeze

So, if mine is also called a screen flicker, how do I fix it?
When my N7 screen went all black out, I have to use a torch towards my N7 screen sensor to have the screen bright up again

I just got mine yesterday. Not rooted but I noticed if the screen auto turns off....sometimes it is locked up. Hitting the power button won't do a thing. Have you had this problem?

Yes, i have this problem too. Then when I have no torch beside me for the sensor, i would need to press power button for 10sec+ for a reboot. How suck it is. This is the only thing bugging me on N7

I just got off the phone with Google play. Having a new unit sent to me. Glad to hear (unfortunately) you are having similar issues.

So, no one seems to know how to fix, then it's hardware problem and have to send to ASUS?

hey!
if it is the same issue as i have (screen turns off in auto brightness or manually set the brightness to minimum), i dont think it is an hardware issue.
i think the minimum background light is set wrong in the system.
also i dont think it is hardware related, because many other owner af a n7 are reporting this issue.

So is that means only hope is hope for next firmware fixing it?
Sent from my GT-N7000 using xda premium
i dont know... if so, i hope for a quick fix
but you could try the app
tegra prism toggle
(costs about 1$, needa root)
maybe it helps
testcenter, thanks for the recommanded app, but i not wanna root at this moment.
I guess in the mean time just not using auto brightness and pray for not dim out again

Eye Strain?

Wondering if anyone else had this problem. After playing games (both tekkin 3 and hill racing) I notice that my vision is blurry and I feel kind of dizzy. This has happened 4+ times so far. What I did is lowered my brightness settings all the way to 0 but I still get the same problem (although I think its less severe).
Anyone please help? I dont want to have to change phones since I love this one and have bought many accessories (palm touchstone chargers, cases, gameklip,ect).
Hehe actually I do experience blury vision after im playing awhile

Use lux dash app it will lower your brightness up to -90%

Yeah, Screen Filter can help, but I myself actually find the display of my S3 a relief after a whole day od LCD screens (work+home).
Glad it aint just me.

Thanks going to try that. Is there anyway to increase the range of brightness settings in the kernal so we dont have to run an app? Using CM kernal. Hopefully there is a way.

GREEN TINT IN S4 i9500

I am using my s4 from past 20 days but today i noticed whenever i open keyboard to type something a slight green tint occurs on the display it is very visible while using the phone in dark environment with zero brightness and with higher brightness levels its not that clear but still it is there ... i got rid of smearing issue courtesy screen adjuster app but this issue is bothering me .... anyone else having the same issue plz let me know.

Haven't noticed this on my I9505, try using another keyboard
Sent from my GT-I9505 using xda premium
I'm having this issue and it's doing my head in!
Every time I bring up the on screen keyboard the hue changes slightly to greeny tone. Then back again when keyboard goes.
I'm surprised not more people mention it.
The easiest way I found to see it was ten brightness right down, go to a dark room and open play store. Touch on the search bar to bring up recent searches and keyboard, then hit the back button, then touch touch bar again, then the back button. Keep doing this so your toggling keyboard on and off and watch the whole screen shift tone.
I'd love to know if it's an issue across the board or if only a few phones are affected.

I am facing the exact issue bro but i hope it will be a software related issue but i am also worried that may be we have defective handsets because very few people raised voice against this issue so it means that most users are not suffering from this issue.

Is this for the stock keyboard? I'm using SwiftKey though.
Sent from my GT-I9505 using xda premium
I tried with other keyboard and its still there
Sent from my GT-I9500 using xda app-developers app
It's got nothing to do with the keyboard.
If you watch a movie on you tube (black and white is best) put to full screen and wait for slider to dissappear, then tap screen to bring it back. The hue changes to green!
It's whenever the screen has to bring something up like a keyboard, menu, slider etc.
Come on guys please can you test this so we know it's a problem on all handsets like smearing or if it's a hardware fault in a few handsets.

What auto tinting option ?? Where is it ??
Sent from my GT-I9500 using xda app-developers app
Lol there is no 'auto tinting' option. If you mean adjust screen tone, it makes no difference.

This happens on kernels based on MDN below,
anything above MDM the tint issue is fixed.
On ME2 firmware and I experience the same issue. It feels kinda like a 'flicker'.
I have same keyboard tint problem too and its bugging me. Is it a sw or hw issue? Can it be fixed?

mostly all people have this problem & I was worried too about this. But update your phone. you should get a new update notification by now.! I already updated and it fixes this problem. and the smearing issue as well. And then you can also move your apps to sd!!!!!:victory:
Hi, just got my replacement after having some overheating problems and noticed this problem on the new one. I'm pretty sure is the screen, and not a software problem. Mine looks yellowish/greenish on the bottom. I downloaded Screen Test app and notice the problem. I have some pics showing the color differences along the screen. I'll go for another replacement tomorrow.

It's possible the screen may be bad. Do you notice the tint anywhere else besides while watching video?
Not really, ive seen videos on it...when I see the menu the green goes away...when the menus gone and its just video, it comes back
Sent from my SPH-L720 using xda app-developers app
Any ideas? Is this a common issue?
Sent from my SPH-L720 using xda app-developers app
Does it happens on all videos?? Or Only on dark/grey Backgrounds?? I had a defective s4 and i looked green at the bottom of the screen. Got it replaced and this one looks fine.
Can you post a pic?

Is anybody have solution for it??
Can our developers @dhacker29 , @arrrghhh , @timpohladthomas , @Somber73 or anybody else fix it?

Maybe it has something to do with automatic brightness being on? Not exactly sure

I was going to ask a similar question.
Keep in mind, I do not actually own a xt907. I do not seem to have any sort of brightness issues on my xt897...

I was think about automatic brightness... But I have thee same issues without it...
I have this problems with brightness only on KK ROMs.. And all my friends, who use KK on XT907 have the same issues... :crying:
I also have this issue on KitKat ROMs. It not an auto brightness issue because it does it at all brightness settings even max.
Screen will light up dim at first and about 10-15 seconds after it will finally adjust to the level it's set it.

That's very odd. I hope they fix that.

When I first used gravity box on 412 it had same bug. But now the updated gb no longer does it. Try installing gb? Then enable the brightness slider.
