How do we achieve that? Havent found anything in settings to have screen dim or something before screen turns off. Anyone know? Thanks

I noticed this when I was out Friday night at a dark bar as I was lowering my brightness so I wouldn't be blinded by the screen while texting. I lowered the brightness all the way down, and the backlight essentially turned off; at first, I thought the phone turned off sporadically so I turned it back on...but it turned out that the screen was on, but the backlight was off.
After some more investigating, it seems like this is a hardware issue as I did a complete hard reset and the problem persists. Strange, but my replacement should be shipping sometime soon. Has this happened to anyone else?

Accidentally gave you a thanks Lol. Mine doesn't do this, when I go to the wick settings, tap brightness, and slide it all the way down it just gets dim, doesn't turn off.

When your screen goes out are you able to adjust the brightness afterwards?

Yes, but I didn't realize this since I was in a really dark bar. When I got home, I played around with it and noticed that sliding the brightness all the way down to 0 resulted in the backlight turning off, and then the screen turning off within seconds. Very strange behavior.
Just something that I wanted people to be aware of so they can get their units swapped out.
Do you have a custom rom installed?

Nope, stock everything. Locked bootloader, unrooted.
The screen actually doesn't turn off I found out. The backlight is off completely, but the screen stays on for the preset amount of time.
Hi everyone, im having issues about Brightness on my S4, It goes down automatically for a few seconds and it's really annoying, im not using Automatic brightness, screen mode is on "Standard" not even on "Adapt display" and I already unchecked "Auto adjust screen tone" too...so...I don't really know if this is an Omega ROM issue or just the cellphone itself...can anyone please tell me if someone is having this same issue? It happens everytime and on any app...
Thanks a lot!
Maybe "automatic contrast" or timeout?

Nop...I dont have those things either...is like the screen is dimming but is not, bright goes low for a few seconds...idk...
Bright goes low for just a few seconds and it goes up again if you are touchong the screen? For me it sounds like timeout. My screen is also dimming after a few seconds.

I have noticed and become rather annoyed with this issue.
If it is dark (sometimes not very dark but dim) in my room or outside when I turn my screen on to unlock it (either knock on or power button) the screen will go black as soon as I try to touch it to unlock the phone.
I think it thinks I'm using knock off? But it happens even when I have that feature turned off. I tried my best to explain this. Lol.
Basically I wake the phone touch it and it goes back to sleep.

Proximity sensor blocked will do this. I haven't experienced this myself. Lighting really shouldn't effect it that much.
Hi! This particular and weird behavior has been happening on my phone for a while now.
Whenever I put my screen brightness on the lowest level, a yellow, flickering, transparent bar appears overlaid on the dock area. No matter where I navigate on my phone its present on the screen. I think it has to do with the screen hardware because I cant take a screenshot of it. Maybe something to do with a screen controller. The yellow tint is simply present at low brightness.
When I raise the brightness again it simply disappears. I have no idea why this could happen. Anyone else had this happen to them before?

Try changing kernels. Example. Going back to pure stock. If the problem persists just put it to full brightness, watch a long video and put the brightness at low again. And see if that works. If not then it is probably a hardware problem.
