Has anyone on dzo's Aurora ICS noticed that after changing the brightness setting of the screen causes the backlight behind the buttons to flicker at times or not turn off after the screen has turned off?
- it appears to only occur if the buttons at the base of the front are not pressed after changing the brightness.
Hi, started this thread to see if anyone had the same problem I'm having with my screen.
I have a Galaxy S4 GT-I9500 (Octa-core variation), it is running 4.4.2, rooted, stock Touchwiz.
The problem is that the screen starts to flicker almost as if it would want to turn off, when in low light conditions and auto-brightness on, it continues to flicker unless I set the brightness between +2 and +5. I can reproduce the issue without auto-brightness setting the brightness to the lowest, one notch above the lowest and there is no flickering. It is noticeable in white backgrounds and also when swiping down the notification center, that's the most noticeable instance but you can see it in the home screen and in any app.
I started noticing it when I had 4.2.2 Jelly bean (rooted), and I updated to Kitkat hoping it would be solved but it is the same, I updated through Kies and rooted, no Factory reset, I want to try that as last resort.
Funny thing I discovered is when I set Juice Defender to control my brightness it does not flicker even in -60% brightness, but when the dimming happens before the screen turns off it does flicker (and the dimming thing is controlled by the OS I think, not Juice Defender).
I wish I could put up a video but I don't have another phone to film it.
Anyone know if this is software or hardware? What can I do?
I'd like to add, that I changed the battery, disabled overlays in developers option, forced GPU rendering, tried Pimp my rom and played with all the settings, checked and unchecked every option in Display settings and it still flickered given the low brightness conditions.
I think I've found the best solution out there for most annoying screen flickering issues... Done a substential amount of digging and finally discovered the app "Twillight" works like a charm by enabling backlight control feature... Try it out first, then thank me and share your experience here ...
Hello!
Have some problems with my screen backlight.
ROM is Mahdi Mako 4.4.4 with root.
When in recovery mode everything is ok, backlight is at maximum but when i started android backlight goes wery low, like 5-10% , and it can not be controlled with brightness slider and with autobrightness, but it seems that brightness sensor is working.
All sensors were checked via sensor box and the same other utilities.
Problem is not in the ROM, the same situation was on stock ROM and i checked it on many other ROM's.
I started to have this weird problem all of sudden on my phone where the screen flickers on different apps, a solid color of thing that's being displayed on the screen comes up from the bottom of the screen which covers up more than half of my screen and sometimes the whole display.
I installed one of the screen filter apps from the PlayStore which fixed the problem by having an overlay on the screen but the brightness has decreased so I am unable to see the screen n bright light(like outside), I can't figure out if this is a software problem or hardware since the screen is perfectly fine when I have an overlay/filter app running in the background.
I have tried resetting the phone, installing a custom rom and disable hardware overlays etc but still no luck
