Display brightness - Xperia Z2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi everyone!
Got yesterday my Z2 from Taiwan, awaited it so much time, and finally got it!
But seems like lcd brightness not such bright as i wish to be. Don't you think so? Or maybe lcd brightness on your z2 satisfied you at all?

I agree it's not bright enough especially on auto brightness. I set the bar all the way to the brightest and it's reasonable only. But if set manually then it is definitely bright enough

Can anyone confirm how bright the display really is? Nits? I think brightness is an important aspect.

Can't give you nits but it's definitely bright enough for me. Also seems whiter than Z1.

I thought the brightness was not bright enough from the videos.

Brightness is more than enough (enough to hurt your eyes ) if you turn off auto and slide the bar all the way up.

brightness is automatically adjusted using the light sensor, which you have above the display this is for saving battery
when your battery low , the brightness get low
Thanks everyone will give +1 when on pc.^_^

If you walk into a dark room, auto-brightness will turn the screen brightness down so you don't strain your eyes unnecessarily. If you got outside on a sunny day, it will turn the screen brightness up to help you see it better.

[Q] Do you have burn-in on screen of your beloved SGSII

[Q] Do you have burn-in on screen of your beloved SGSII
Yes I do have a screen burn which looks like the power off symbol on my bottom half of screen. I have no clue where it comes from though... Never had something like that shown on my display.
It is only visible on brighter gray and if you look close so since I prefer colourful wallpaper I only see it sometimes when pulling down notification bar

I have it also a tiny spot 2mms across which is seen on gray and brighter colors, not that much, almost nothing on dark colors.

Yes, I have slight burn-in from the AOSP Clock (time and the buttons at the bottom).
I've got one above the misdemeanor towards right corner of the screen. Gonna replace screen, never seen on previous exchanges models.

Camera flash issue

When I take night time photos, the flash lights up the subject really well but the resulting photo is a bit too dark.
Does anyone have any tips for me on getting a brighter photo when using the flash?
Menu> exposure value> turn it up and hold your phone steady
Otherwise nothing you can do, human eye perceives light on a logrithmic scale while sensor cannot, so what looks bright to us is not to the camera.
Ok, I will give it a go.
Thanks mate

I get the same but its because I use auto brightness. Because brightness is low during night pics I just increase it and the pics look great.

Are you talking about the screen auto brightness or a camera setting?

Samsung display

Would like to ask why Samsung display is a little worst in resolution in gaming apps.
Sent from my GT-I9300 using xda app-developers app
I mean the display when you are on home screen. The resolution is clear. But when in apps. The color isn't that good and resolution is bad.
Sent from my GT-I9300 using xda app-developers app
I think the display is pretty good
Sent from my GT-I9300 using xda premium
Well you have to acknowledge that the display has a pentile matrix which means that it has two sub pixels instead of 3. That equates to roughly 1045x588 effective resolution for thé screen.
It could also be the fault of the game itself.

Ahh. Thanks for the reply. But the color is slightly different from the iPad hd display. Anyone feels it.
Sent from my GT-I9300 using xda app-developers app
In display settings try turning off auto adjust screen tone. Check if power saving is off. Also try different screen color profiles in display settings. Default is standard, may be a more vivid color option will suit you

A lot of apps are badly ported from iDevices, and unfortunately, graphics seems to be the part that suffers most from this. native Android-apps, as far as I can see, has the sharp look I expect from this display, and compared to an iRetina display, has an almost equal quality.
The screen mode is particularly important, and should be changed if you find the colors on your display to vivid or unrealistic.
I myself tried changing to a more toned down mode, but got a weird B&W-feeling (I've gotten used to the SG3 display), and had to change back.

Screen settings what do you use

Autobrightness or full
Standard. Dynamic. Movie. Natural?
Which is the best.

Used to use natural till I noticed it didn't make battery much better. Normal all day now lol. Always auto brightness

I use full brightness all day and dynamic all day...
Dynamic with auto brightness.
Sent from my SCH-I605 using xda premium
Auto brightness is just too dark for me. Auto brightness OFF, slider at 75% and Natural. I used to use Dynamic, and I'm thrilled we we have the option, but every now and then with Dynamic on an images color will look just completely blown out and I ended up moving it back to Natural which is still plenty saturated with the Super AMOLED display.

Thanks for posting this. Never looked in the settings before, and dynamic looks so much better.

Dynamic and Auto-Brightness. There is no 'best' option. It's just personal preference. I like the saturated colors I get with Dynamic, and I dont watch movies on phones anymore so it doesnt bug me. I keep a brightness toggle on my drawer so if I show co-workers some video clips or something I can wow them with a super bright display
I just use natural and auto
Standard w/auto brightness. Love this freaking phablet!
Sent from my SCH-I605 using xda premium
You pretty much have to lower the setting if you want natural colors. But who wants natural colors on a Samsung device!? Oversaturation ftw.
Try lux auto brightness....

Can't do dynamic, makes the women I set as my backgrounds like sun burnt to a terrifying degree.

Lux auto brightness and standard. my girlfriend always goes on about how nice the colors are on my phone, her incredible 4g looks so washed out next to the note 2.

Yeah I hate the washed out natural color look. I am perfectly aware that the Standard screen mode is way too saturated to be accurate color representation but imho, I love it. Especially running Beans ROM with the nice AOSP blue notification icons. Looks gorgeous!
I'm going to have to start playing with these settings!
I just wanted to take a minute to thank the guys who mentioned Lux Auto-Brightness. I just purchased it and it really is quite spectacular. I didn't realize we could have this kind of control over our auto brightness. Thanks guys!
auto brightness all day everyday! I don't notice a change in battery life though to be honest

What do you mean, "keep a brightness toggle in my drawer" is there stock, isn't it?
I use auto on standard and when showing others video, tap off the auto in the notifications which switches to full brightness.
I've gotten used to the auto being slightly dinner than I prefer. Wish there was a setting to adjust that.
