Brightness in the dark - Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I have turned off auto adjust from the main notification menu and I have my phone set to standard on the display settings and my phone still dims when their is a lot of white on the screen, when I load google chrome and in games (emulators). Has anybody had the same issues? I've seen also, but I'm not sure, that the processor still run at 1,458 Ghz, not at 1,89.

There's still a setting you need to turn off in the display options, it's just above the high sensitivity checkbox that let's you use the phone with gloves (I don't remember how it's named in English but it basically means auto tone).

It's the "auto-brigthness" and it's uncheck. Perhaps it's a problem of my rom. I'm on stock rom, just root. Or the solution may be to change Kernel. Those who have custom rom/Kernel, have you this "problem"?

Is under display settings , something with "tone"

I don't think it's a problem with options. Many users have this problem. I've try many and many options but still have bad results. But you, have you also this problem or not? If yes, changing Kernel must be the solution or not?

I think this happens if you've enabled Adapt Display in display settings. Try switching it off.

Has anyone got a solution to this, I have had this phone 2 days and the screen jumps up and down in brightness and I am sure I have turned off all the auto settings.
One minute the whites are nice and bright next they turn grey or cream then back to bright white.

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?

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

Colors changing on s4, not adapt display

So yeah does anyone else have this issue? My s4 colors tend to get warmer and like have a green tint when the keyboard is pulled up any keyboard for that matter in any app with adapt display on or off and auto brightness off or on. Like the status bar turns greenish too. It's so strange.

do not understand you well , do you mean the icon of notiffication bar getting green sometimes , and some times they do not?:laugh:
Yes. But only when the keyboard is up. The color of the whole phone gets warmer

Maybe power saving mode?

Nope. It like changes the
Saturation a little when the keyboard tray is displayed.
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I337 using xda app-developers app
interesting.
I want to see if someone else can test this. Open up or even reply and look at the status bar and tell me if the black becomes like a greenish tint as well as the whole screen. Then close the keyboard and watch it change back to normal.

I see it change a slight bit, but my face has to be pressed up against the glass when opening the keyboard to even notice. Is this really an issue?

No but I was just curious as to why it did it
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I337 using xda app-developers app
I have exactly the same problem on Verizon S4. It really bothers my eyes as it seems to be changing the white balance / tint simply based on what's on the screen all the time. I have of course turned off all options that have anything to do with automatically adjusting the display.
I have the exact same problem with my GS4 international version. The problem gets even worst when playing a youtube video. The colour of the youtube video and the whole screen changes when the status bar is present and when it is not. The whole screen becomes reddish when the status bar is present and greenish when the status bar is not present. Any help on how to disable or fix this?

No but people seem to not realize it's even there. It's built into touchwiz. Only goes away in like cyanogenmod or something. But I'm sure it can be fixed if a dev wants to help so let's all keep this rolling. Anyone else notice it?

I noticed all the Hues are screwed up, even with out a keyboard being displayed. Internet surfing, playing games, Navigation.
I miss my Galaxy S2 because it didnt have this issue.
Edit:
Compared my s4 with Note2, and note 2 cilors and hues are so much better.
I don't see a change. ..

I have the same issue but mine happens very rarely. It's super annoying. Has anyone tried deleting colorblind.apk?
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I337
After I noticed it a few days ago, I think it is ok now, at least not as bad as the first time i saw it. Youtube video seems to be ok now with very very tiny bit of change in colours and contrast compared to yesterday with the same video. I think it might just be some bugs in the software. I did try restarting it many times yesterday and also disabling auto brightness, auto adjust screen tone and adapt display and that didn't help at all but now it's just kind of fixed itself
I just realised that this only happen when the brightness is set at a very low level. The effect is less noticeable when the brightness is high.
Yes so it's throttling the display to save battery and such
Does flashing cm10.1 fix the issue?

Screen brightness

I have issues with the brightness constantly changing. It is extremely annoying. I believe I have all the settings to where it shouldn't change. Its on full brightness, dynamic and unchecked where it will adapt. It is extremely noticeable on light pages like the web or Tapatalk. This is my 3rd Samsung never had issues before. Thanks for reading

Turn off auto adjust screen tone in settings>display?
Sent from my SPH-L720 using xda premium
Already did thanks. There are 3 settings that affect the screen I think. Its driving me crazy
Sent from my SPH-L720 using Tapatalk 2
Yeah, it's a phone wide thing that isn't affected by settings. Happen to me when I switch over to Chrome from a different white display. The whites change, even if every other setting is constant.
Basically, it's a known issue with no way to change it at the moment. Not sure if it continues in AOSP.

App/tweak that adds the steps for auto brightness?

I'm looking for that tweak that adds the small adjustments for auto brightness, so you can lower/raise the auto settings without losing the automatic part. Some Roms have it cooked in, but unfortunely the one I'm using does not!
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I337 using xda app-developers app
I have never seen it in any MDL of MF3 rom. If you want that feature I would suggest installing a international rom. For some stupid reason Samsung doesn't use it in the US version of their phones.

Infact you can use it. Install the xposed framework and then Wanam Exposed. Among other things there's an option for it.

I use and like the pro version of it.
The app lets me choose a preferred brightness level for various night or day brightness.
Such as if I'm next to the dim lamp next to my bed, I tell Lux how bright (or dark) I want my phone and everytime my phone gets to that level of light, it will automatically adjust to my preferred backlight level.

ITs discused here too, seems is like a samsung dimming to prevent overheating cause of dysplay, it happens in all note 3 and maybe can be changed when custom kernels takes this as an issue to solve
