Whenever I am watching a movie (no matter what app I use) or playing a game (no matter what game), the display automatically dimms darker in scenes where the majority of the screen is dark. I can only guess, but I'd say when the content of the screen is about 80 to 85 % black, the whole display dims darker. That's extremely annoying and makes watching some series or movies very exhausting (don't even try to watch Game of Thrones 8x03 or the Final Episode from Star Trek: Discovery Season 2 on it).
Is there any way to get rid of this behavior? I couldn't find a helpful setting to change this yet. I really hope I'm simply blind and didn't notice the setting responsible for this.
The Tablet (Lenovo Tab 4 8 Plus - TB-8704) is running Android 8.1.0 stock Lenovo Firmware.
Any help is highly appreciated. Thanks for reading
Its a problem with version your using..

Hey guys. I'm sorry for being a newbie but I'm new to this section and couldn't find the issue in a few other threads that I searched through.
I was really happy with my Nexus 7 until the 4.2 update that introduced several issues.
The most apparent is the autobrightness one. On 4.1 it was a little dim but stable - I could easily read at night and during the day time and it seemed to adjust perfectly in a totally non-annoying manner.
Now, however whenever I read something it keeps flashing - going from 0% to 50%+ in a second and then back after a short period time despite the fact that the lighting conditions do NOT change. It happens even when I'm in a totally dark room and holding the tablet in the very same position without moving it.
Last night I placed it on my desk to watch a movie with no artificial light sources around whatsoever and the brightness would go up or down every 10 seconds or so.
Sometimes I had a feeling that it depends a little on what's currently being displayed as it happens A LOT when playing a movie and it changed more often when a scene would change (for example it got a little BRIGHTER when it was displaying bright images already, thus hurting my eyes).
I usually use my tablet when it's dark already so I find it really almost impossible to read with autobrightness on because books with white background just begin glowing spontaneously in my eyes and then after a few seconds it dims so I have to adjust again and before I do it begins glowing hard again.
Now I know that I can always set it manually but the thing is that I really liked it the way it was in 4.1 - it was perfect at night and also perfect during daytime without me having to change it manually a couple of times a day. I would totally love a feature to be able to correct the autobrightness (Sort of like in Iphones or older Samsung Androids) but what I had on 4.1 was good enough.
Do you guys have this issue as well?
I have a couple of other issues that did not occur on the previous OS version and the tablet is a little bit less responsive (not UI but in apps) so I wouldn't mind going back to 4.1 actually if there's a way.
Yes i have this
Same problem here. Google screwed up auto brightness with their shoddy update. Very frustrating.

My C60 has the issue.
This is why I use Lux for autobrightness. I can't use a device without it now.
Greetngs Everyone,
Can anyone help me with a Gyro Stability problem im having, I am using:
Echoe v.25 (XXUGNF1 Base)
Based on the android 4.4.2
(Mobile is Galaxy s4 I9505)
I ordered an Durovis Dive and would like to play games on it.
All the games boot perfectly no problem only problem is while running a game.
If i hold the screen stady or watching something infront of me the screen moves automaticly left or right this is a huge problem.
When i wanne watch a movie with the app go show i need to adjust the screen every 2-3 min becoas the movie is out of view.
Here is a game you can also test if you like:
Virtual Reality FPS - Demo
Thanks for helping me
Bump anyone have the same problem?
dump not solved yet
I would be grateful if people could post their results in this topic after following the instructions.
Okay i posted about this before in the small eui topic but i don't think anyone saw it and it's a general issue that affects everyone so i want to bring it to people's attention.
This phone seems to give a lot of black crush. I have used the stock EUI fw and the small eui CFW and both have it. Black crush is where dark regions of images just turn to solid black so that you cannot see anything below a certain darkness - as you can imagine this is a large issue.
Instructions for the test:
Go here: www.lagom.nl/lcd-test/black.php
You should be able to see all of the squares, 1 - 255
However for me, at highest, retina burning brightness, I can only see down to 7 or so and at a comfortable brightness, only 11 or 12. At lowest brightness I can only see as low as 25 or 20!
Report back how far you can see (at different phone brightness levels including minimum) and also please list what firmware you are using. I wonder if this is an EUI issue or a hardware issue.

This is with the screen set to Natural like it should be (the other LE ECO, Vivid etc modes are way over saturated and you actually get colour crush), and even in the other modes it is just like this too.
Because there are these colour modes, i think there must be a way to fix this somehow in eui based fw?
It seems like LE ECO is doing something to mess up the black level and crush all the blacks to make the screen look all contrasty deliberately.
(on a side note, the small eui cfw referred to a change: "Disabled LeEco gamma curve (oversaturation in the daylight)" although i'm not sure exactly the technicalities of it, it didn't seem to help with this issue as on both smalleui and stock x829 it is the same).
One thing i did notice was that on the stock 829 FW, when you first turn the phone on, it DOESN'T have the issue. However when the phone first sleeps it then changes back to the colour mode with the black crush issue (so if it times out to standby or you press the power button etc then you get the problem back).
To me, that seems like the phone is only starting the code the runs the black crush on the first lock screen / standby opportunity.
It wonder if KCAL support could be added to the EUI based CFW? Or if Le Eco's own colour controls (whatever they used to do the colour mode settings) could be user configured. Maybe it is these colour controls that are causing the issue in the first place?
I would be grateful if people could test this and also bring it to the attention of cfw developers (especially eui based).
Thanks
Hi all,
I bought 2 Tab A 8 (2019) tablets for my kids for Christmas, installed their favourite apps (mostly small games, YouTube kids, ABC Kids etc). They constantly encounter a weird screen unresponsiveness issue, where the screen won't respond to touches, but whatever they are doing continues to play. I.e. YouTube kids will be playing in the background, but they are unable to use the screen to change videos or fast forward. This happens across all apps. Turning the screen off and on using the power button does work, and seems to return the screen to normal.
There aren't any "nefarious" apps on there.
Any idea what it might be, or anything I can share that might help figure it out? It's driving my kids crazy...and subsequently me.
thats weird im trying to install a different os on mine
Hi guys, I just got a OnePlus 8 and loaded LineageOS 18.1 onto it and wanted to use it to play games on my 4K TV.
The following is a list of the problems and solutions I encountered to get there.
First, I used a USB-C to HDMI adapter on my 4K TV.
I connect my DualShock 4 to it via bluetooth for a console experience.
a) Problem 1 - Full screen output is shifted to the right slightly (black bar on left side)
Solution 1 - I rooted and used this Magisk module here with the OnePlus 8 preset. It requires enabling in Developer settings (Cutouts) after installation.
https://forum.xda-developers.com/t/module-n3o-no-nonsense-notch-overlay.4226413/
b) Problem 2 - Aspect was weird (black bars on top and bottom)
Solution 2 - SecondScreen with the resolution set to 1080p fixed this. Full screen on TV.
c) Problem 3 - Despite setting SecondScreen to 1080p, phone was outputting to my 4K TV at 4K30Hz (and presumably just upscaling). Horrible input lag and frame rates. I could find NO SETTING to change this anywhere. ADB commands such as adb shell wm size etc had no effect and I think are just what SecondScreen uses behind the scenes as they produced a similar effect. But when I connected it to my 1080p monitor there were no issues, things were smooth and responsive so....
Solution 3 - I bought something like one of these: an EDID emulator for HDMI and it is working like a charm. Fools the phone into thinking the TV's max res is 1080p and so the phone outputs at that. Now buttery smooth frame rates.

d) Problem 4 - Brightness on phone weirdly tied to brightness on TV. I had to run it at full backlight to get full brightness on TV
Solution 4 - Disabling the display anti-flicker setting seemed to unlink the brightness on the phone and TV. Now I can play at normal brightness on TV with zero on phone (set by SecondScreen)
e) Problem 5 - Using a phone as a video game console uses battery.
Solution 5 - Got a new USB-C adapter that allows charging. Not this, but something like this. Confirmed can charge and have video out to my TV at the same time.

And there you go. So far this seems totally viable and cool, and I am a fussy, hard-to-please kind of person.
I am looking forward to using this to keep playing some RPGs I would like to get through, with a console experience at home but still able to pick up and continue a bit when out.
Hope this helps someone! Spent hours googling and trying to figure this stuff out.
It's **** like this that got me into modding droids in the first place. You are a legend and a gangster. Keep on doing whatever. XD
This is an excellent guide and gives me more confidence to install the mod and mess with it. Thanks
Useful info like this will hopefully increase the likelihood that the community will use roms to implement the desktop experience. Maru was one example I saw a redditor post but it's in early development.
