I received my 6P Tuesday and everything has been ok so far. I turned my phone on a couple mins ago and the colors on the display look washed out. I turned on/off adaptive and tried restarting. Has anyone else noticed this?
Figured it out for anyone else that comes across this issue.
sRGB was not on but the screen displayed as if it was on. I just turned km sRGB and then turned it off and my screen went back to normal.

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.

Same. No lights out.

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.
Has anybody experienced any issue with their screen colors seemingly fading out to create what almost looks like a "negative" effect? It's like it gets very bright and washed out. It's fixed by turning off the screen and turning it back on, but I don't think I should have to do that. Anybody experience anything similar to this?

This I believe happens on Galaxy S5 Mini (I have it) where when it is set to Auto Brightness and I go outside under direct bright sunlight, the screen will boost brightness beyond the manual Maximum setting that you can set. In turn though, the colours on the screen will go psychedelic where things look very bright and washed out. When I go back inside, usually it stayed extremely bright, soI had to put it to sleep then wake it up again to put the psychedelic brightness back into sense.
On the Note 4, I tried this yesterday, colours didn't go crazy, it stayed pretty much spot on, but I still had to put it back to sleep and wake it to fix the brightness.
It's possible I wasn't patient enough to wait for it to return brightness back to normal after leaving direct sun light, but I did give it 10 seconds and it didn't go back.
I got the same experience with my note 4. At the beginning I thought that it was an issue with my screen. But it could be good to know if it is or not. If one day I will get a black broken screen... This issue appears only under the sun light.

Have you tried disabling the "Adjust screen tone" under display settings to see if it has any effect?

its brightness boost happens in bright environment if you close the auto brightness it will be gone. its not an issue. but gets too bright when not needed sometimes. but in direct sunlight where manuel max brightness not enough it helps alot and it doesnt look weird in a situtation like this.
I just got my OP2 yesterday and noticed something. The backlight on this phone when on something white will for some reason just suddenly flick dimmer than it was and not go back unless I either reboot or mess with this brightness anyone else had this?
And yes I have adaptive brightness turned off. I remember I had this issue on my old N5 and it bugged me to no end.
I keep noticing the screen turn on when I'm holding the phone in my hand. I'm not pressing the power button

Settings->Display->Ambient Display
I read it in another thread, but found out it applied to me as well. I had Light Flow installed and it was the culprit. If I use the power button to shut off the screen, ambient display would kick the screen back on. Same happened just randomly while I'm driving down a smooth road (no sudden bumps/shakes) and the screen would randomly turn on. I switched to Light Manager and so far the behavior has stopped.
I stopped using light flow long ago as it would usually cause issues. Let me check out ambient

Yeah ambient I don't need and disabled it

I tried to like ambient display but ended up turning it off. It got annoying when I was holding the phone and my touch woke the phone up from ambient. What exactly is supposed to trigger this thing? Light? Motion?
No lightflow here but I do have a skinomi techglass which I thought I read could screw with the light sensor.
Yeah I feel the same way about the ambient display. I have no real need for it. My screen turned on at least 5 times while I was holding the phone in a cab. Annoying

I had turned on the always on display shortly after setting up my new G6, and then a few days later I turned it off. However the setting keeps turning itself back on, usually overnight. I had turned it off yesterday, but woke up this morning to the display being on, and the setting set to on.
Starting to think I have a gremlin messing with me.
Go into your AOD settings and verify you didn't accidentally set up something the revolves around the time for your AOD to come on. See attached screenshot
Good call. I checked the "Daily timeout" and it was setup.
Turned it off and we will see if that stops it from turning back on in the morning.
I love the AOD. I was using the digital clock, but then changed to the analog clock. I like watching the red second hand. I also use the screen saver when wireless charging, although I feel more thought could have been put into it. The screensaver seems half baked to me, but it works.

How goes battery drain with this turned on?
I don't notice anything adverse.

I don't wanna start a new thread. But can you in any way customize the AOD? I don't need the battery icon shown there as it distracts a little from notifications. Any way to turn notifications and icons on/off?
And did you guys notice any serious battery drain when turning AOD bright instead of normal mode?
Whats the brightness selection, is it the overall brightness of the AOD? I think from default it's reasonable
