Alright so I just got my Note 3 here in Canada (SM-N900W8) and whenever I download an app from the Play store, or do anything I would normally do on a S4 or HTC One, the phone lowers the screen brightness (usually keep it on full brightness). When I go into Settings > Display > Brightness, it says something along the lines of to ensure your phone doesn't over heat, your phone's brightness has been lowered. Now, I've noticed this happen a handful of times, and I'm wondering if anyone else is having this problem?
I don't think the phone should be doing that over simple task like downloading apps. Might want to take it back asap and exchange for a new one.

Yes, mine is doing the same exact thing. When it first started happening, I thought there was something wrong with this particular phone but then I saw that same message. It's annoying have the screen change brightness like that.
I notice when browsing web page it does it too.. can anyone else confirm? Test by turning your brightness all the way, then download a few apps and browse the web. Let me know.
same experience
Hi! Very new at this forum. Just searched the net because of the same problem. The screen keeps dimming even if im using it. I thought it was a problem so I had my unit replaced. I have a new one now but it still does the same thing. It still dims randomly. Now I dont know if I should have another replacement or if this is normal.

I think the dimming may be caused by settings>device>display>auto adjust screen tones. And/or screen mode check anything but adapt mode. .. That solved it for me.

And here's the link to that thread... http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2382134
I haven't got the Note 3 yet partly because of this. When I compared my Note 2 to the Note 3 in the At&t store I noticed the Note 3 was definitely not as bright, while being obviously bluer. But I also caught it dimming itself too, very quickly but couldn't get it to reproduce the behavior. Changing the display mode didn't affect any of this. I've wanted to see this amazing improved display everyone talks about but I haven't seen it yet - certainly not when the brightness is set manually.
I wonder if this dimming display thing is a new normal, that they've made the brightness more an automatic control now. I have no idea if this is to save battery (but then why not let the user choose) or if these new screens need to be protected more from overheating.

What's the point of full brightness if it's going to auto-dim all the time? I ended up returning my Galaxy Mega for this very reason.

What parts of the phone heats up? Mine is near the camera. But I havent had this message yet on my note but it does get fairly hot alot. I dont even do anything for it to heat up this much. Just browse around and dont play much games.

I'm on my third... and posted already in your thread! for me this throttling happens all the time, gallery indexing for example triggers it a lot!
to clarify:
this throttling has nothing to do with settings a user can adjust, it's logic must be kernel implemented! no auto-contrast setting would help! and it happens even when you are on manual lowest brightness. on my devices the screen would switch even then in a cycle of ca. 20s between a additionally dimmed and the set state...

Hey folks so i bit the bullet and gave my dna to the wife (still love that thing) and got a brand new G2.
Something weird is up w the brightness or contrast on this phone though: even w auto brightness off and brightness set to minimum the brightness seems to randomly adjust itself when interacting w the screen. Is this a bug or some kind of feature im not aware of? The DNA had it a bit when scrolling but nowhere near as noticeable as this.
I've noticed this as well and from my understanding this is something that all G2s have.
From what I have found this only happens when the brightness is low (i.e. less than %50) and has something to do with the phone trying to adjust the brightness based on what is being displayed on the screen. I have noticed it the most when using the XDA app when I'm scrolling down through a thread; the display brightness seems to randomly jump up and down just a bit as you scroll down with your finger. If you're not scrolling the brightness won't jump up and down.
Initially I thought it was just something goofy with the auto brightness, but as you pointed out the 'flickering' still occurs even when auto brightness is turned off. Hopefully this is just something that can be fixed with a software update as it is a bit annoying.
I use lux brightness app now and have no problems with this issue,it was an issue before.

I've noticed it too. Even with automatic brightness off, CABL turned off, and brightness at 68%, it'll still do it. I've poked around with Xposed, and I have yet to figure out why it does that. I've heard speculation that it's controlled in the kernel, so hopefully a kernel dev can figure out how to disable it.
I noticed this as well but its completely gone on on these new AOSP ROMs. If you are looking for a solution this is the best IMO.

Try Lux or Velis Auto Brightness ftw. Way better than how the system handles auto brightness.

Hmm i just noticed theres a "content adaptive backlight" app running..wonder if thats the culprit.
This thread seems to debunk that theory as disabling content adaptive backlight seems not to do anything.
yes it's cabl. many posts of mine were about this. we've come to the conclusion it may be activated on the kernel level bc changing anything in the app or build prop does nothing. it's gotta be kernel related. but yes it's content adaptive back light. it sucks.

Hi,
Have any of you noticed when you push the home or the power button to turn on your phone to unlock it the screen is really bright for a second then it switches to your settings? Has anyone experienced this and if so has anyone found a way to stop it?

I noticed this on my Nexus 7 2013, it's really annoying when you want to say read in bed and the lights are off it's far too bright. I found using the app Brightness Adjuster solved this. It lets you go way below the firmware level of brightness and I have found it excellent. May work on your NIII.

Hi.
Just bought s7 edge loving it.
Before i was using iphone 6s. I also used note 5 for week i didnt liked touch response was bit low latency and slow unlinke iphone.
I really like new series. Everything is good. I started noticing new thing. Touch response is also good on this phone but I saw new thing. When we hold finger on touchscreen also like when we rearrange icon by holding it.
I see touchscreen is wiggling like a old phone is getting charge and touchscreen is shaking like virus..
Have you ever noticed that?
Or screen is over sensitive?
I will also make video to describe.

Doesn't do it here (using the Exynos variant)
I see what you mean but I have not noticed it on mine. I would if I had it because I'm sensitive to stuff like that. Though it IS a sensitive screen. Even after the update that fixed the severe oversensitivity. It's not a problem anymore though. Before the update it would register presses before you even touched the screen. Hovering the finger 0,5mm above the screen would trigger it.
I would say i have noticed what you are experiencing.
but not to a level it was noticeable./
To me it felt more like the phone was responsive to my touch more than previous devices.
And as this is incredibly quick, it was reflecting this on the animation
(While other devices that are slower would not show it)
I noticed this stopped when using the tip of my thumb instead of the flat.
But more productive, What version are you running?
There has been various updates that improve the stability.
I upgraded and rolled back due to loosing a feature.
(Whitelisting Caller ID) (Stops unwanted calls)
But noticed a improvement to the touch sensitivity being abit over sensative one may say

Thanks for replies.
Im running pd1 something like that written at last.
For me it's not big issue.
I hope you got what I tried to show.
I mean I only see wiggle when I hold finger after sec it get fine but for sec it wiggles. There is also a wiggle when I swipe left right instantly I'm not talking about it.
I'm talking about, when I try to zoom a picture. It wiggles when on stable finger for a sec. Software down the touch response after a sec then wiggle gets fine.

This is a software "issue" and not a hardware issue, so this is something that can be fixed by an OTA. Could you install Nova Launcher and see if the wiggling is still there? I just want to check that it's not anything with the Samsung launcher.

bought a brand new indian set s7 edge. And i am also facing the same issue. What is to be done to fix it? I have tried the *#2663# stuff. It doesnt help at all.
Yeah my phone does that too!
It STILL ANNOYS me daily because I notice some imperfect scrolling! I am very sensible to smooth scrolling and I can notice some imperfections on this phone!
Besides it jumps up sometimes when scrolling down... and the opposite way around!
See my poll on g+: https://plus.google.com/+GeorgesGeagea/posts/Vp8Xc5nwTtt
Try *#2663# and Update the stuff there. It will help. What i think is that its an over sensitivity problem. Had it alot on Note 4. Not any on s7 edge. I have the Exynos version.
Well,
One of the lacks of our G6 is the notification led.
And I hate with allways display being allways on....
Anyone knows a way we can task to turn on always on display only when we have a new notification?
I think it whould be great and very battery friendly!

Me too, I would prefer also an implementation more like ambient display with gestures.
Also interested in that feature. It would be awesome if the screen just comes on when there is a new notification. It makes no sense to have it on all the time.
I don't know why lg does not implement this feature but packs all the "second screen" menus from the v10 as hidden menus into the g6.
The g6 is awesome (even with 32gb, no quad dac and ir... come on lg... but i bought it anyways), but now i just found out how much i miss the notification led from my gnex and i can't tolerate excessive battery drain by having an lcd on all day when there is no new information.
What “exzessive battery drain“?

Yes it switches off but for me it does not need to be on when there is no notification.
That would reduce the drain even more when >90% of the time there is nothing to be seen and if i want to see the time i can switch it on myself.
Just as an alternative to the missing notification led. Would be a very handy feature to minimize the backlight time and still see notifications and i am sure others would love that too.

Okay I agree with the LED. It is a fine feature.
I want AOD also for the time so it has to be shown.
Otherwise more customizations would be nice.
In your case "show only new notifications" for example.
LG has to consider that it should be not to complicated.
I was hoping we would get background images like samsungs on AOD.
Anyone to help with a tweak or something?

Of course there's a battery drain. It may be minimized but it's definitely there.
LG wouldn't include a switch for it in battery saver if it didn't.

The setting is not named aod_mode. If someone would find out what is this settings name, we could manage it with Tasker. I for sure would like to have AOD on, only when I have a notification.

Guess I'm on the other side of the coin, I think this complaint is ridiculous, I like the AOD notification or not, with the addition of an led notification it would better.. It doesn't drain enough battery for me to care, if you don't want to see it turn the phone over or keep in pocket. Unless you're creeping and don't your partner to see you have a text (lol) its a non complaint IMO.

I love the AOD. It was very annoying to doubt tap my Pixel every time just to see if there is a notification. Battery life is pretty good still. I can't see this using maybe 5-6% over a charge.
