I've confirmed this behavior on two tabs, one running 3.1 base and the other running 3.1 ux.
In apps like tapatalk or the amazon.com for android app, when i scroll through a list of items or topics the display brightness dims until the scrolling movement stops and the brightness returns to normal.
The difference isn't huge, but it's definitely clearly visible on both units I've tested and pretty distracting.
I tested with brightness set at auto and set at a fixed level and it happens either way.
I found a way to resolve this..
I found an option under Settings - Screen - Auto adjust screen power which is enabled by default (even if brightness is not at auto).
If I disable this, the brightness fluctuation stops.
Just thought I'd share..
Hey
Thanks, will give it a try. Got the same issue, not bad but it is irritating :-\ Especially when I use zino.

Is it normal that my color temperature seems to be changing when I'm in the browser. I notice it the most in there due to the white background. I'm running serendipity 8 but noticed before this. I'm not running the dynamic screen mode. Only the standard. Is this related to the auto brightness? Haven't tried disabling it yet but this color change is quite annoying as it goes from like cool to warm colors.

I'm getting the same on stock rooted. I think it's related to auto-dim because it's at 15 seconds, which is what my auto-dim is set to. Did you time it and verify the same for yours? Not sure why it doesn't just dim like past models, but goes to gross 1970's TV looking color haha
I believe you can adjust browser brightness aside from you regular screen brightness. When you bring up the browser again, look under setting and you will see "browser brightness"...let me know if that helps.

The browser auto brightness toggle is jenky... when set to auto its when it kicks to low brightness the colors go warm yellow. If set to manual just above that point it disables the rest of the OS's auto dimness and the whole android is too bright dohh.
Color Temp of Browser
Is this just in your browser or does it show up on all white backgrounds? I thought my screen was defective because it would change color temperature with the backlight but the real culprit was that setting under Settings | Display which automatically checks the image being displayed and adjusts it to save battery power... I don't have the phone with me right now so I can't give the exact wording of the option, sorry.

Seems most noticeable in the browser because it is the only thing with a white background.
I see this problem mainly using the xda app... I will scroll and as I'm holding down on the screen, it will be sliiiiiightly pinkish... then as soon as I let go and the screen is static, it reverts to a cool blue... very slight
Anyone else notice this?
I have auto brightness off, IPS+ off, brightness set to lowest or just above. As I browse different websites or flip between apps the screen brightness sometimes wavers a bit, as if it was on auto and adjusting itself to the environment.
Oh look, it's this thread again.

Sometimes I wonder why we even have a search function.
I've noticed it too when running in balanced mode at very low brightness settings. It seems less of an issue for me if I increase the brightness a little.
Glad to know it isn't just mine and maybe a future update will help. Hopefully it is on their radar.

Does anyone notice the Prime has problem on display? The brightness on my one up and down from time to time. Not very frequent, but noticable. Tried different settings, all 3 power setting, auto brightness, disabled auto...
It is on 4.0.3. Didn't know if it was on HC since I upgraded it right away after got it. The series is c1okaxxxxx.

I have noticed this. However I don't think it happens on user defined brightness (auto turned off). I'll have to check
I noticed that my auto brightness started acting strange after the OTA update on Feb 8. Mostly, it got very dark and I had to turn off auto.
It does the same for me, it changes the brightness even if I set manual brightness. Either it is some kind of 'dynamic' brightness to improve contrast on screen or a bug.
I have written to Asus tech support, no response yet...
Do you think it is the same as flickering issue or related? Does your Prime have other issues?
For my one, the GPS is not working at all. It is also doing reboot after FC sometimes.
hi all, I noticed that light sensor doesnt work properly, when I go from dark to light area, the brightness increases but when I go from light to dark area the brightness wont decrease, on honeycomb it worked properly, anybody else experiences this problem?
Same here, it goes bright but does not decrease.
I use the app https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=rubberbigpepper.DisplayBrightness&feature=search_result#?t=W251bGwsMSwxLDEsInJ1YmJlcmJpZ3BlcHBlci5EaXNwbGF5QnJpZ2h0bmVzcyJd
make an invisible slider on the edge of screen to adjust brightness.
is there any way to make it work properly?
Don't think so. Its pretty much unusable now.

There are lots of negative comments about light sensor, but i have to say it works well to me on ICS. Could be possibly massive amount of defected devices.
Lightsensor doesn't work for me either - too bad, hope it will be corrected.
Perhaps it's because I'm running ICS "General Channel".

Do the sensor dim the light in the same session for you?
Here it turns up the light but not down again.
Sent from my U8800 using Tapatalk 2
Same here, adjusting upwards works fine, but it doesn't adjust downwards in low light conditions.
I have tried two apps that turns the light down again, custom auto brightness and lux auto brightness.
One small problem. The pad will crash on pattern unlock after sleep. I Also the light sensor will not work s after wake up sometimes.

I'm guessing no one has had any luck with this issue but I figure I'd necro the thread anyways. My light sensor sucks also. I used 'Android Sensor Box' to get the values coming out of the sensor. It only displays either 40 lux or 280 lux which is obviously not right. This is on Cyanogen 9, stock t-mobile ICS and the rooted international gingerbread(can't remember which one exactly).
So I was wondering if anyone who owns one of these has ever gotten a sensor value that makes any sense.
thanks
nope,
I use instead display brightness https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=rubberbigpepper.DisplayBrightness&hl=no
create an invisible brightness slider on theedge of the screen.
Try using custom auto brightness with the auto brightness on (there's a setting in that app that disabled the system auto brightness at screen on. Turn it off).
The original kernel only recognized 3 light levels. If you use bart's kernel it will recognize 6 levels.
Yes, I think there's a software problem because both app (lux and cua) crash hard in HMP, but I don't think fixing it is a priority.

How to use custom auto brightness without crashing the tablet.
There are 2 options that should be followed, other settings can be adjusted to your liking.
1. In preferences, Check Use pulsed sensor mode. Basically this option will make the app read the sensor itself instead of listening the sensor value given from the system.
2. In advanced preferences, set the sensor update speed to either half sec or 1 sec. I tried normal, but the app won't read the sensor value, so probably the slow normal maximum setting only works if you get the sensor value from the system.
You can set disable system auto brightness. I recommend it before because the setting was a "hack" which was making the system read the brightness value thus the app can get that value. Right now it's recommended that you check the disable system auto brightness.
I've bought yesterday my new galaxy s3 and even though the browser at the beginning was fine now it shows a very dark grey background, as if the brightness is decreased to reduce batter consumption.
I've disabled the power saving mode but still the same.
Any idea, please???
hehe pres the options buttons and you see a setting for clarity for the browser. videos and browser have an option to change the clarity settings apart from the main clarity settings.

Hi,
Start your browser, go to settings -> brightness and colours -> remove automatic brightness. Else go into advanced settings and reset your browser.
mine is in dutch but look for the brightness settings.

Yeah, change your "Brightness & Color" setting to Default in the Browser.

If you go into the brower and go to settings there is a setting there you can change, there is also a setting in standard settings around changing brighness based on image. You could try turning that off.
Solved... i had to set the browser brightness
Thanks everyone, I wasn't scrolling down enough in the browser menu and I couldn't see the brightness setting functionality.
