Happens with my phone too.. I think its pretty normal. Just a software glitch that can be rectified with an update from Gionee. May be with the Kitkat update

to avoid overheating maximum brightness has been reduced

Anybody else experiencing this issue?
I looked everywhere but found no real solution.......
Tried flashing new rom no luck ...
This was quite common with the S2, what you can try is to power off your phone and remove the battery for 20-30mins, if the same issue occurs either the battery sensor is messed up or IDK.
Happened with my infuse in the summer out in the sunlight and i posted a topic in there about it. They say its normal
Well I tried this still not working .....

Same problem here. Even i charge my Note also is heating. Dun know why.
Screen bright again
I dont know what cause this problem, but I got the same thing on my phone. A temporarily solution is to install Brightness Level from Android Market. It does not fix the problem in the system settings but it makes your screen 100% bright again

Problems that go away on their own, come back on their own...
Is there a way to remove this protection?
When I have the gps in the car I get that all the time, even if the phone is not hot at all, very annoying because with the sun and sunglasses -> cant see the screen very well.. stupid!
If you have one of those tpu softcases you will not know whether or not your note is hot just by the feel. Those cases are terrific insulators. I had overheating with the Note on GPS and charging. It actually shut down once and dropped out of the GPS signal a couple of times. Took the Nillikin case off and found that the whole phone was very hot.
After the case was removed I continued the trip with four days of continuous GPS and on charge with no problems. Even with the TPU naked, it still got pretty warm at the top half of the phone, but worked fine with brightness set pretty high. I think this is normal for the Note
[FiX] Galaxy Note ICS OVERHEATING PROBLEM SOLVED
[FiX] Galaxy Note ICS OVERHEATING PROBLEM SOLVED:
1 Go to settings- developer options - UNCHECK "Dont keep activities"
2 Use go launcher ex (or some other good launcher...) instead of default launcher
3 Instal from google play android assistant and use it to clean cache and stop most of background process
4 install from google play "cpu master free" (MUST HAVE ROOTED PHONE) and set 1000 MHz for MAXIMUM, and check box "set on boot"
P.S. DO NOT expect that your phone will be cold as ice after you do this...
ICS is build that you can use max. out of dual core, and galaxy note is pretty slim and back is made out of plastic...All that increase heating problem...
Hope i helped! =D
download the free version of "watchdog" and it will give you an alert if any software uses a lot of cpu power, you might have to go into setting and add system process to the watch list, you can also whitelist and blacklist program so they are killed as soon as they cpu usage goes above a certain level, though this might be pro version only.
Only use watchdog to find the problem and then remove it as it can use quite a bit of cpu power itself.

Having modded the framework for my rom to include lower brightness mod i can say that the values set in the decompiled framework are virtually the same as gb values infact brightness was increased at the lowest level from 32 in gb to 40 in ics with powersaving mode set to 32 in ics

I see no difference at 38 and below in LQ3. The lowest dim at 39. At 40 the brightness will then increase.

Hi legion =)
I most often use phone at 100% brightness simply just because I like it when the screen is bright and clear, colors appear nicely too on high brightness. And outdoors in sunlight its sometimes hard to see whats on the screen even though brightness is set to 100%. You were right about the burn-in. Can see some burn-in if looking very carefully, depending on what colors there are on the screen over the burn-int areas. But still they are so weak and hard to notice even when you know where to look for those areas that I will probably have bought a galaxy note 2 or maybe even 3 before they appear clearly visible and too annoying to endure

Automatic Brightness... Bonkers, help please

Hi,
I bought a Nexus 7 32GB Wifi version yesterday from Carphonewarehouse.
I brought it home and it asked to update, I let it update to 4.2, with automatic brightness my screen is very dim, I mean its not nice to view with automatic brightness as it seems to dim the screen to much.
I know people are having problems with latest update etc, as I updated immediately when turning on device etc I cannot be sure if this is due to the update or it was like it before the update, I would like to use automatic brightness to conserve power but it seems to dim the brightness to much and I also notice the brightness level adjusts quite a bit in same lighting and is very noticeable when viewing screen.
When using full brightness the screens brilliant.
Is this part of the 4.2 bugs ?
I disabled auto sync for Google Currents to help some performance issues for now.
As this is my first tablet and updated immediately I can't compare differences between updates to know if its just a bug.
How long does it take to charge the tablet fully approx ? as mine seems to take ages, again I am aware this is possibly another bug after 4.2 update.
PS: I here that I should have got a £15 Google credit but never got an email and I had to pay by card when I purchased a £2 app as no option to choose Google credit only to pay by card. Was this a limited time offer or something as am gutted I not got it ?
Thanks for any help/advice!

Hi,
Unfortunately the screen flickers issue is a well known issue to nexus 7. Since you just bought it, I would recommend exchange it and hope you get a good one. Mine is having the same issue but I kinda get used to it. Good luck...

If automatic brightness does not work the way you want turn it off. Flicker gone.
It is a checkbox under settings / display.
I like mine best with brightness set to about 50%. An added bonus is that really extends battery life.
I highly suggest giving lux a try. I bought it because I found the minimum brightness on the n7 was too bright for night reading. It has a lot of settings to tailor the auto brightness to your taste. I turned off the android auto brightness and set the manual brightness almost all the way down and let lux adjust it from there.
4.2 totally screwed up automatic brightness, made it super sensitive. best option right now is to turn it off and change thaw brightness manually
Thanks everyone for replying, gonna just turn off auto brightness and set it to 50%, its ok at 50%, thanks much appreciated!
Fingers crossed an update will sort the sensitivity out.

What does the flicker everyone refers to about auto brightness look like? I don't think I experience this issue. It may be the lighting I have around doesn't cause it.
What I DO have an issue with is low brightness either manual or auto in dim rooms where I don't want to be blinded, is the flickering caused by WiFi signal being low. This isn't the same issue others refer to here is it?

If it flickers on manual - you have a different issue.
Some devices have screens that are significantly dimmer than others on all brightness settings (I've had 4 so I should know). I've got an n7 that the screen is virtually unusable on auto under some conditions. I complained and got a replacement and they've never bothered picking up the faulty one. My Mrs has it now and it doesn't bother her but, side by side with my n7, its a massive difference. If it bothers you return it because it'll really get on your nerves after a while.

my device died anyway so took back for replacement. I decided not to update to 4.2 as auto brightness works excellent without update and no bugs either so will wait for a more stable update, much happier now. Thanks!

[Q] Auto brightness reaction time

My setup for auto brightness is +2
Reaction time from dark into sunlight is almost immediately
Reaction time from sunlight into darker area takes almost forever. It takes almost complete darkness for the screen to go back!!
Normal or not??
Thanks for any reply.
Gr. Marc
I noticed that too - The screen get brighter in a matter of nanoseconds but when I am in a dark environment it takes a minute or two and sometimes it never turns the brightness down. Hope they'll fix that with an update or something soon.
Anyway, what I did to go past that is turning down the brightness and then setting it back to auto brightness when I am in a dark environment.
Normal. But rubbish. Lol.

A possible improvement for the overheating camera issue

It may help improve the situation, I noticed marked improvement in the length of videos that I can record if I enabled Extended Usage as folllows:
Power Management -> Stamina Mode -> [Check] Extended Usage
Mention how long you can record without this setting and with it.
Also mention ambient temperature when you do the recording in both cases.

Ambient temp: 29 C
BEFORE
Recording Video : less than 20 seconds...
AFTER
Over 2 minutes so far, no shutdowns yet...
Massive improvement...
I actually was recording my baby doing tricks, but initially was not able to do so... cause by the time I click on the red button to record, it already has over heated....
Presumably you are talking about 4k.
20 seconds at 29 degrees is rather short, i managed 2:30 in a non air conditioned shop before it put up that message, there was no active wifi or cell connection when doing this test as there was no sim card in it.
will try your setting later and report back how much difference it makes. Some body else also mentioned that this setting worked as well.
I think the camera overheating issue is not really related to the camera sensor, but to the processor overheating.
I am stating this based my experience with video recording using DSLRs,

Yes it is very short. I was so annoyed that I flashed another firmware only to find out that it had the same problems. I was not even taking 4k videos! Basically when you factory reset the phone, whatever settings that is there was the one I used.
However, last week, when I got my phone I could remember taking videos that were relatively long (3 minutes or so)... Oh well now I have setup the phone again... I am now on that .438 singtel firmwware.

It's very hard to do any sort of proper testing and come to any conclusions.
I can usually take loads of photos and (1080p video) in close succession, but just last week, when it was quite sunny - I managed just a few before the error and being told the camera would close to cool down. Started the camera again, it shut down almost immediately. And after that, I got an error that stopped the camera loading at all.
Now that's not normal. It really wasn't THAT hot either, but the CPU was running at 60 degrees! Goodness knows why, but ultimately I was unable to take photos until I'd turned the phone off completely to let it cool (I was out, so didn't have any cold water to dip it in).
After leaving it a while, it was okay for as long as I needed to take some more pictures.
It's ****** annoying as we're about to have one of the hottest weeks of the year so far in the UK, and here it's quite humid and sticky. Thus, I fully expect that I'm going to have loads of problems. And Sony will give us the software fix they've now acknowledged is coming just in time for winter.
I agree it's funding annoying

Because it's an lcd, it doesnt actually burn in. It's image retention or ghosting. I'm having the same problem. Lowering the brightness will help. I use automatic brightness and it works great. I've heard that using an app [Twilight] that can put a filter on the screen might help. Apply 5% filter for 30% brightness, and for every 10% brightness add another 5% filter. Example: 30% brightness, 5% filter, 40% brightness, 10% filter, 50% brightness, 15% filter, and so on. I don't know how much it will help but if it does that's always a good thing.

The maker of WETA has found if you lower the values of the screen just barely through KCAL compatible kernel it can stop the ghosting completely.
But that means you have to use a custom kernel that supports KCAL so if you aren't rooted you pretty much have to deal with it. It goes away eventually.

And auto brightness seems to work a lil bit

I just got my LG V20 US996 Friday afternoon & of course tested it at full brightness most of the time but will start using automatic brightness more regularly if it really helps prevent such eventual screen issues, I just noticed today for the first time on my Moto X Pure, which also has an IPS display, what looks like burn in that appeared suddenly not gradually..?
How common is (IPS vs other screen tech) burn in-ghosting-image retention with the LG V20/US996 & best ways to avoid it's if not really totally repairable? -Thnx
Finally i fixed it, AlhamduLillah!
.... How?
Supposedly the burn in for LCD displays is rare, part of why I bought the v20 in the first place. Except it's not rare, seems to happen more than it should. I ended out sending mine in for repair, barely still in warranty. I suggest those of you with issues and warranty do the same.
Screen burn in.

How? You can't just say you fixed it and then be silent about.
I'm having ghost issues as well now.
Is it the heat that makes the problem for the screen to do it? If that is the case one more reason to use a big battery like the mugen 9300 battery which keeps the heat of the phone down tremendously. Sadly iv changed back and forward on the stock battery and my big mugenpower - and now have the problem of ghost. I do mostly have my screen on 100% light all the time as one is not even able to adjust the auto function - I ordered the phone at 2017-Marts-09 and the issue has just raised in the last couple of weeks. I bumped up from 2 minutes turn on time to 5 minutes which seemed to be the time I began to get the ghost issue, which seems to be getting worse - but that could just have been a coincident.
Its not a big issue as such but it is still a little annoying having it around.
If it is an heat issue with the LCD - had I known I would just have used my big Mugenpower battery 9300 mAh all the time which keeps the phone at an stable 21-22 celsius degrees all the time. Stock battery sometimes fly over 40 Celsius when working.
It seemed there is a one year warranty on the phone but I'm not sure if it is actually worth doing anything in that regards.

The thread starter seems retarded for me sir.
I tried without success to use the 1 year warranty and sent my phone in TWICE to LG. Both times they did nothing but wipe the phone and claimed they fixed it.
I ended out going through my carrier which sent me a refurb phone, but it looked new. I would recommend anyone with similar issues do the same. You can change the colors of the screen and it improves what you can and can't see, but the burn-in is permanent.
