I just installed Android 2.1 and rooted it. In the brightness setting there is no longer a selection to choose the Auto-brightness setting, just a slider for low and high brightness.
Also I noticed the Power Widget that has the brightness control switch lets you switch between low, auto, and high, but while in Auto (the dimmer setting while the button is ON), the sensitivity is very poor and will only brighten the display by about 10% while moving from a very dark environment to a very bright environment.
Yup, i agree. This sucks. Although i had forgoten how nice everything looks with the brightness turned up. All the same id like to have it back.

cant expect everything in 2.1 to be perfect. Yes it has taken them a while but i wouldnt expect it to be without any flaws!
At least we got it finally. WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOT

I thought this today too but the Auto Brighten IS there and still working, just a bit differently.
Initially you choose the 3 levels of brightness on the quick select from the 5 widget icons. This is the brightest it will go, but if you go from a dark or light room it DOES indeed still adjust.
I noticed this after a bit today just standing in the kitchen watching the movers do their thing at my old place. The sun was ducking in and out of the clouds and the auto function was working fine. I tried it in all 3 modes, the only one it doesn't do anything in is the least bright mode...the one I noticed it most is the middle bright mode.
So YES, it is indeed working, just differently.
The auto Brightness sucked in 1.6 anyway. It was never that good for me. I use a brightness widget to adjust it.
I much prefer the way it works now. Seems to be a lot more user friendly tbh
have you tried the setting in spare parts (from the market)?
I've not tried it myself, but I know the auto setting is there.
Auto birghtness
Hmm. I have the 2.1 update and I have set the brightness to the low setting in the power widget. The brightness still adjusts automatically, and I don't want it to. I want it to stay at a low level all the time to save my battery. How?!
Do you feel annoyed with SP bad viewing angle?
I HAVE A SOLUTION FOR YOU!!
FEATURE:
- Improved viewing angles
- Yellowish screen colour vanish and changing into white (like IPS panel)
- Very good in low light usage
HOW TO:
- Download screen filter on Playstore (free)
- Open it and set to 48%-50%
- Tilt your phone and enjoy better viewing angles!
DISCLAIMER:
- May decrease maximum screen brightness. Solution: turn off screen filter or reduce value
- Eating light ram, about 3-10 mb only
- Don't use very low value or you will suffer very low brightness and cannot see anything!
CONS:
- Decreasing in screen contrast
- A few unnatural colours
Cheers
What an interesting app. It makes colors a little bit less natural, but it indeed impproves viewing angles and it's perfect for when I use the phone at nights. Certainly something I missed from stock roms.
Thanks for sharing.

Hmmm looks interesting, thx !
I have a Samsung Galaxy Tab S3 and it's great but I can't figure one thing out. Which is the screens contrast. Dark scenes in Netflix or VLC player are too dark and hard to see. I tried different brightness settings, with/without blue light filter and the other color correction option for cinematic mode but nothing really works properly.
Is this an issue with the tablet or is there another setting to change the contrast or something?

I also noticed this with Netflix. Was hoping that turning up the brightness would help but it doesn't.
YES, YES, YES, I am shocked this isn't widely reported, I couldn't find almost anything about it and I've been searching for quite a while.
First of all it is really crazy that popular apps like plex or netflix don't offer any capability to change the brightness of the video played. No, we don't change the colorspace, black levels, bla bla bla.
I DID find eventually a solution (the ONLY one that works, a bit clumsy as it is): http://phandroid.com/2016/03/22/twilight-app-reduces-dark-contrast-on-samsung-galaxy-s7/ (yes, it's for the S7 and yes I did notice there the same issue, which makes it even crazier that it isn't something widely known and fixed).
I just picked up an S3 last night and I'm having this same issue. I watched the opening scene of The Defenders on Netflix, and I could hardly tell what was going on. Rewatched it on a proper display, and you're clearly upposed to tell it's Danny Randy much earlier in the scene, but I had no idea in the S3 until a blue light was clearly shining on him from above.
I used Twilight on my Nexus 7 because it lacked a night vision mode, ala blue light filter on the S3. I'm not sure how that can really help. Surely other people have found more elegant solutions to this problem? I've opened up other media files and they're all simply too dark. I get it's an HDR screen, but surely it has a mode for non-HDR content!
Do oled display have a blue light problem, I though it was only really a led thing.
John.
Might be an inconsistency with the displays. I have no problem with mine. Not getting any lag either but running a heavy debloated rom also. Battery life could be better. It's stupid you can't turn off the Wacom digitizer when s pen not in use. On my note 4 when I lost my s pen battery life was terrible because the Wacom digitizer stayed on. Should be an option in settings to turn it off. If anyone knows how please let me know. I don't use the s pen very often.

Switching to modes other than Adaptive Display just gives me seemingly the same shade of yellow....
I have tab s2 and you can't change adaptive display. I wouldn't have bought this tablet if I'd known about this issue. Very annoyed.
I actually have the issue on my Samsung Tab S2, that the colors are really "hard" and lots of color information are missing in the video, details are lost in dark areas. Is there some fix for this or is the screen just too bad on the Tab S2? I know the Tab S3 has a HDR screen, and the S2 not. I dont have any HDR screens actually, but I can put color range to "full" on my desktop PC, which will en-light colors a bit, making details more pop out in dark areas (though black isnt fully black anymore if so).
Any color profile other than basic is mostly unusable, too much saturation. Still dark areas lack lots of information. Is there no way to fix this? I tested this actually
https://phandroid.s3.amazonaws.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/03/Screenshot_20160321-154452-400x711.png
and it helps with the details in dark areas, but it also makes the black bars of movies in Netflix and video players not black anymore but gray.
So from what i can tell, it's only a stock rom problem. As the screen looks amazing running liniage (best screen in the house). But I've recently decided to go back to stock debloated, as I think its running a bit snappier than liniage 16 or 17.
Has anyone found a black level fix for stock yet? (preferably not a screen tint app)

:cyclops: It's beyond what you're suggesting which is known :cyclops: but thanks for it
EDIT: I have now found a full workaround. First you need to enable Blue Light Filter. Then go to Settings > Accessibility > Visibility enhancements > Color adjustment > Personalized color, and choose all the colors in the correct order. If you do it correctly there won't be any change to the colors and Blue Light Filter will be "on", but actually not, which will override whatever Android is doing that's making the dark parts of movies way darker than they should be. So far I haven't found any cons of this workaround.
Original post:
Sorry to resurrect an old thread, but after trying to fix this problem for like half a day (lol) I think I found the best workaround so far. If you turn on Blue Light Filter and set its opacity to minimum, the filter will be barely noticable, but the brightness issue will be fixed.
One thing I noticed is that not all apps have this problem. For example VLC, Youtube do have it (you can even see the transition of colors and brightness for a second when exiting to desktop view). However Youtube Vanced doesn't have this issue, so I asssume the operating system does this dumb change of colors when it sees certain parameters in an app (maybe something in the manifest.json file?). It would be awesome if some more knowledgeable people could look into this issue, maybe they could find something about why YT Vanced has normal colors.
So is it pretty obvious , or does ghosting usually happens on low brightness on every AMOLED display or is this phone only suffering from this ?
(I saw ghosting while I was horizontally scrolling a black picture of a gray background).
Can anyone confirm this for me ? ( Not a huge issue though , it doesn't happen after the brightness is increased)
Try with this image in lowest brightness
Zoom in and move it left and right you will see a trail of weird color trailing the black circle.
its normal for amoled displays
almost all amoled screen leave purple trails when switching from pitch black to some other color pixels.. don't worry about it
Ya when scrolling in app drawer the icons looks like wobbling.
Yes this has been the case in my Realme XT as well. When you have black background in the app drawer and there is any app icon that is dark you see the icons changing their shape while we scroll.
Even in YouTube when you turn on the Dark Mode and there is any video that is pitch black you may see it leaving a trail when you scroll through the feed. This is more often when screen is in low brightness. Is this issue for all other phones with Amoled panel or only with Realme XT ?
Amoled panels basically has the lowest response time in any display technology format except "Ink Display". Every individual pixel lights up individually from switch off (black) to on (any color). Higher the brightness means higher the color spectrum shining into your eyes and thus it let you see no ghosting while at peak brightness. It's still happening but we dont usually see that clearly. Ghosting is very natural phenomenon of Amoled technology. Also these budget Amoled panel tends to big fan of burn out. So make sure you are using live wallpaper that changes or moves (stock one that comes with the ColorOS is good enough).
Anyone who wants to adjust the white balance of vivid screen mode to 6500k - here are my settings, done with a laser spectrophotometer. Gamma is 2.207289 and delta E is 0.3
While every screen is a little different and ideally needs its own calibration, these settings should probably be better than the default settings. with all sliders cranked up to 100%.
With sRGB set on in the developer settings, you'll get a natural looking photo with very slightly more saturated colours than the equivalent photo displayed on a fully calibrated and profiled wide-gamut desktop monitor (it's worth noting that in natural screen mode, the match is very accurate when compared to my monitor and if you're wanting colour accuracy above all, then put it into natural mode)
In the screenshot below, there are four white dots to the right of the green slider position and one white dot to the left of the blue slider position. The red slider is at 100%.

That looks identical to how my N10+ looks in natural mode @50% brightness.
Color/gamma calibration/accuracy are excellent on the N10+.

Not needed... if correctly calibrated from the factory. Color/gamma calibrating by eye is impossible... it won't work.
If you use the phone a lot in the sun ( definitely not recommended!) the vivid setting will help compensate for the bright light color washout.
Noted, thank you and thank you.

Cheers buddy, it's really help, like it now looks great.
Sorry if this is a silly question but where on the Cool/Warm scale do you have your marker, there are 5 dots there but these aren't shown on your screenshot above.
Thank you for these settings, much appreciated.
Guess this doesn't matter at all when using Eye comfort shield?
That cool/warm slider is a very blunt instrument, so it remains exactly in the middle with the settings I showed for the RGB sliders
Eye comfort shield messes with the white balance by reducing the blue component, so while you have it activated, you're right that this doesn't matter

Great, thank you very much.
I found using the Eye Comfort Shield fixed the white balance AND restored the saturation level of the the S22 Ultra. I prefer cooler tones so I set it all the way to the left. By default, the S23 Ultra screen is less vibrant than the S22 Ultra so this works great.
Thanks for this.
If you get chance, can you check some different areas of the screen with a white background to check uniformity. Mine seems a bit brighter in certain areas. Just wondering if I've got a duff one or not.

The in depth test results on any variable refresh rate display will show the fallacy of your statement.
They are impossible to accurately calibrate across their many brightness/refresh ranges.
The brightest variable alone skews color calibration/accuracy which has a exponential effect on the gamma calibration.
This is one big reason I blew off the N20U was it's variable rate display. In terms overall color accuracy/calibration/viewing angle color shift the N10+ is one of the best smartphone displays ever produced. There are dozens of test parameters.
Samsung can't even get their basic display lamination technology right now let alone the much more difficult display color calibration. In Samsung's defense variable refresh rate displays are impossibly hard to color calibrate through their many brightness/refresh rate ranges. The differences are small but there. The higher brightness levels of these newer displays are making calibration even more difficult like it wasn't bad enough already.
This N10+ display has well over 8K hours on it and is still perfect. Zero detectable flaws or pixel fading; excellent longevity. Time will tell... ain't bragging but you see how chill I'm hanging.

Hello, good day to you, could you please elaborate on that? I'm not knowledgeable enough but as I do understand is that vivid mode uses wider DCI-P3 color gamut (on some percentage) so why do you suggest to use sRGB in developer settings?Also you said that natural mode looks more accurate than vivid in comparison with your display (you didn't tell if it is wide gamut, but mentioned earlier "...fully calibrated and profiled wide-gamut desktop monitor...", so I assume you have exactly this one), as I get it , this can be true if your monitor has a sRGB emulation because other spaces should make same colors more vibrant, saturated. Again, I can not say it for a fact, just want to know whether I'm right or wrong, would be glad to read explanation on how actually things work, thanks in advance.

Yes, my monitor is wide-gamut. I'm not 100% sure exactly what you're asking, although I'll try to give a short explanation on colour management. This info is not specific to phones. It's general colour management information. There are lots of resources on the net if you wish to learn more. Some of the info below is guesswork, since Samsung's colour management is a bit of a black box.
Android 13 is colour managed. That is to say, ostensibly it has all these components for a fully colour managed workflow, although many apps are still not colour managed.
On a properly calibrated and profiled desktop system, any photo should display using the same colours and look identical to the way the same image displays on a different fully calibrated and profiled monitor. For example, a calibrated and profiled AdobeRGB monitor should display an identical sRGB colourspace image to a properly calibrated and profiled sRGB monitor. This is how it should be.
Take, for example, the RGB value RGB(255,0,0). On a wide-gamut monitor, this maximal red value will be a deeper shade of red than on a smaller gamut sRGB monitor. So when no colour management is present, this would mean that instead of displaying the correct sRGB red primary colour, a wide-gamut monitor would display its version of the red primary, which is way more saturated (deeper) than the sRGB red primary. Colour management ensures that the sRGB red primary will map to the equivalent red hue in the wider monitor gamut and thus display correctly.
On the S23U, the display device profile shipped with the device appears to be non-standard and deliberately displays more saturated colours - I assume this is precisely what is intended by the "Vivid" setting in Display Settings. It looks almost as if no mapping is being applied between the image's sRGB colourspace and the wider display gamut, resulting in more saturated colours. Why Samsung chooses to do this, I don't know - it's probably because these cartoonish looking colours are seen as a desirable marketing feature. Without access to the source code or detailed technical documentation on Samsung's colour management implementation, it's just guesswork as to what they're doing. It's why the icons look more saturated in vivid mode: their sRGB colour value is being displayed in a wider-gamut space, resulting in a more saturated colour.
To partially fix this, setting sRGB on in Developer Settings is supposed to force the display's gamut to emulate sRGB when displaying pictures and so the image colours display as intended rather than in the over-saturated form that Samsung thinks consumers want (although it seems to be less than perfect in its emulation of sRGB to be honest, as it still looks a little more saturated than when using the Natural colour scheme). One would reasonably expect that pictures displayed when Picture Mode sRGB is on with Vivid mode to be the same as how it would look if you set the display mode to Natural, although it's not a 100% match (it's close). This Picture Mode setting is essentially a picture-specific sRGB mode as opposed to the system-wide natural display mode that forces the display gamut to emulate sRGB at all times.
This Picture Mode setting apparently has no effect when watching videos. It only affects pictures. As an aside, having watched several videos encoded in different colour spaces in the different S23U display modes, video colourspace mapping appears to work properly (ie. no over-saturation). Most Youtube content is encoded to REC.709 which has a similar gamut to sRGB (REC.2020 is used for HDR and is much wider gamut). I've watched a combination of REC.709 and REC.2020 videos on the S23U while running the same video on my desktop at the same time and the videos look identical on the S23U. In fact, video colour reproduction looks remarkably accurate.

Natural mode should produce near faithful reproduction*. Vivid is intended for bright lighting conditions like outdoors to reduce the effect of color washout.
Using a standardized color chart makes set up and verifying work flow much easier.
*On the N10+ is this mode color accuracy is excellent cam>display, I verified it with a color chart shot 50% brightness (I think it was), natural mode, image shot with noon sun. I couldn't see any deviations on the N10+'s display... not bad for an Android.
However haven't verified that on a known color calibrated monitor. So there's that
I have big problems with the screen and cameras.
Compared to my previous phone S22 Ultra the s23 ultra has a worse screen - faded colors, turns green and blurs details in photo-video. Front camera - now captures less detail because it has less megapixels. The main camera shoots with a green tint. When s22 photos are as transparent as possible.
Am I the only one like this in the world? Or what?
