Screen Flicker/Brightness Issue CNA

I recently installed CodeNameAndroid 3.6.5 and I have been using it for a while. I have this ONE problem where I disable Auto Brightness in Display Settings < Brightness. I also disabled it in the Interface (Rom Settings) < Display. There is kind of a flicker of it auto brightness where it goes up or down. It kinda looks like it is adjusting the brightness. I know this isn't a problem with the hardware because when I use stock or another Rom, it doesn't have that problem. Responses/Fixes will be appreciated!
BTW: If you're not looking where this forum category this is posted on, It is the Nexus 7 With the problem.

I have the same problem in 3.6.6 on the s3
So its definitely the ROM

ditto, same problem on SGS3, i guess its why 3.6.6 for SGS Tmobile is not a stable version. Either way ill live with it/figure something out....so its part of the rom in this case...

Thanks For The Replies!

[Q] Brightness won't go up

Hi, I flashed Franco kernel and cyanogenmod 11s a few days ago and the brightness started being really dim even at 100. Yesterday I wiped and installed paranoid android and the brightness was fixed so I decided that try cm11 again. But then the brightness is dim again. Please help, I tried going back to PA but even it is really dim now.

It seems like the screen is flickering slightly. I think it's because the backlight is broken.

Nougat notifications and auto bright probs

Hey there guys, i've just updated my s7edge to nougat and after the first 20m i'm already seeing some issues.
The first one is in notifications. I use the app "Battery widget" and i have it configured so that it shows my phone temp, battery percentage and time till depletion, but it used to be on top of all the other notifications in marshmallow and now it is not since nougat update. It used to work fine in my note 4 as well so my guess is that it's all related to nougat. Is there a way to fix this?
Second issue is auto bright. Before nougat i had it set for a specific bright in my room and the phone remembered that level everytime i unlocked my phone, now sjnce nougat it always resets itself to his own standards, which happen to be too low to my eyes.
Is there any way to solve those 2 issues?
Any help is most welcome.
Thanks in advance

snow screen when waking ambient screen ?

that static screen(snow) you get when your tv isnt on a channel, i get that flashed right before the ambient display shows. anyone one else have this issue ?

Probably have screen on/off setting on CRT in settings. Are you on a custom rom? I don't see the setting in OOS anywhere.

got same issue here

I've noticed the same thing randomly happening. Doesn't happen all the time so can't see what might be causing it. I'm using full stock and there is no setting I can see.

I get that since when I got the device last year but after update it show very less like maybe once a month. No way to fix it tho

Yup, Same here! Happens randomly on different custom kernels.
It's a feature, not a bug

I've noticed that it seems to happen when the screen lights up for a notification too.

I would only get this when on Smurf Kernel. When I switch to EX or RZ, the issue goes away.

thank you everyone for your input, its nice to know its a common issue. maybe ill try ex kernal. im currently on smurf. or i might just leave ambient turned off. doesn't seem to have much advantage over the regular lock screen anyway

I got this problem too a few weeks ago after trying out some kernels. I fixed it by dirty flashing OOS into both slots. It's a small but very annoying issue.

All kernels that use Dynamic FSync have this issue. You must turn OFF Dynamic FSYNC in EX Kernel Manager

washed out screen, dead hardware or kernel?

Last night, the screen suddenly crapped out. The colouring looks horrible even tried all different setting. TWRP and download mode page looks the same.
I recently flashed the Lightrom and TGP kernel, not sure if it is the reason. When I bumped up the brightness to 85%+, it sort of better, but colouring is very off.
Anyone experienced similar problem?

I've seen a few reports of this. Assistant it's a bad panel but users have also reported full brightness makes it go away.
