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

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

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.

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

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?

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?

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.

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.

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.

Brightness in the dark

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.
Sent from my GT-I9505 using xda app-developers app
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).
Sent from my GT-I9505 using xda app-developers app
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"?
Sent from my GT-I9505 using xda app-developers app
Is under display settings , something with "tone"
Sent from my Superb Galaxy OctaCore
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?
Sent from my GT-I9505 using xda app-developers app
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.

Screen auto brightness, pitch black when I start sometimes

Hi, sometimes when I start my s5 the auto brightness is set to 0 and after like 5 sec or so it gets corrected.
However this is very annoying when your out in the sun and start the screen and have to wait before it corrects the brightness, is there any way to fix this?

I noticed this too. Together with the fact that looks like some app is hanging. Its clear to me that there a few bugs still in the system.
