If I (1) manually set my screen brightness to anything below about 20%, or (2) have it on auto-brightness and the phone turns brightness below about the same level, then the screen flickers like a dying fluorescent fixture with a bad ballast. Is there a fix for this? Is there a light meter on this that I need to clean? Is there an Xposed module that can fix this?

I've noticed that my Fascinate's screen dims before going dark. Is there any way to disable this behavior? I use keep phone overnight in a desk dock, running the app 'Bedside' to display an extremely dim clock. The phone's automatic 'dimming' actually seems to brighten black portion of the screen a tiny amount.
I've messed around with the display settings, but thusfar had no success. Does anyone know of a workaround?
Since I got this phone, I see this happening.
If I touch the screen immediately as the phone becomes dark after 30 secs of no interaction, the brightness increases but not to the full level.
This happens when auto and preset brightness.
Returns to full brightness if I tinker the brightness setting - eg. If I turn auto brightness on then off.
Anyone knows what's going on?
Do you have any xposed modules installed?
Sounds like 2 or more modules/apps are having a punch up
Hello. I disable my auto brighness and even so when i go to a dark room, my screen is dim and when i am with very light, the screen is vry bright even with auto brightness off! Is there a problem?
I had to switch out my s7e and my 2nd unit keeps dimming the screen when in low light. I have brightness at max and auto brightness turned off. Are there any fixes for this? Does anyone know if the Base (sp) rom fixes this?
Test if your device does this: set screen to max brightness and turn auto brightness off. turn your screen off. Turn off the light in your room. Turn screen on and unlock screen. It should be a bit dimmer. Now turn screen off, turn the rooms light back on, and turn the phone back on. It should now be brighter. Does your phone do this?
Bump
Mine does it too and while this issue has been documented on different forums I have yet to see a real season or fix. Found posts about it also happening on the S6. It is irritating as I thought that auto brightness turned off should completely prevent this. You can trigger changes by covering/uncovering the proximity sensors at the front top of the phone with your fingers.
i recently bought a used s7 edge. the cellphone's display is damaged buf overall it works fine. except for a few issues mainly related to light sensor according to my understanding.
1: the display flickers when auto brightness turned off or when brightness is set to anything less than maximum
workaround: i installed screen filter app to control the brightness
2: the screen goes to green screen of death when device is put to sleep
workaround : turn AOD to always on and never Turn it off
3: the display goes to green death screen during call and wont get normal unless call is ended and screen is locked and turned on..
4 : at AOD ,the screen flickers at night time or in a dark place but gets back normal in bright light..
info i need : i thought what if it was possible to change the android framework values for the light sensor so that no matter whatever the light of the surrounding may be.. the device will always think it's in bright light.
for example if the settings for current values are
high 5000 medium 2000 low 600
then i change it to
high 1000 medium 500 low 25
so that the device will always think its in full bright area..
can anyone help me in achieving this goal? thanks
