hello. please, under sunlight the automatic light doesn't permit a good vision of always on display. in rooms, with artificial light it works well. two answers:
1. is possible to solve this problem?
2. is possible to do a automatic lightning for phone diplay separately from always on lightning?
thanks

Hi guys,
I have heard that sgs2 doesnt have a display problem under direct sunlight,but I am facing little
readability prob under sunlight. Anyone else facing same?Is anybody aware of any settings to improve this?

At maximum brightness (or auto) I don't have any problem of readability under direct sun. It's not perfect, but readable.
What kind of problem? I also had an issue with the phone in direct sunlight. Darker colors would be all messed up on lighter backgrounds and I returned the phone back to Samsung under warranty.
I did had issues while set to auto brightness. For some reasons (battery was more then 50%) the handset didn't switch to higher brightness, but once I managed to half blindly set this up manually (not even to full 100%), it was perfectly readable.
Haven't tried the auto brightness since (it's pretty rainy today).
Just wondering if I'm alone with this issue... when I have auto brightness turned on, it consistently wants the display to be too dark. I shut off auto-brightness and move the slider back and forth, and it appears that auto-brightness never wants the phone over 25% brightness, ever.
When I set manual brightness the phone is plenty bright enough to see, even in direct sunlight. But auto-brightness never seems to leave the screen bright enough. Is this common or does my unit have a faulty light sensor?

Yes, this is a problem with all versions, including international. There is a MOD out on the international side that addresses this issue by setting the minimums to a much higher brightness. Unfortunately, we have yet to get any devs on our side to begin porting these over. Hopefully soon...

I actually don't experience this at all on my phone. At home, I have it set manually to the dimmest it will go. But at work, I will change it to auto brightness, and when moving from indoors to outdoors I can see the screen just fine (even with sunglasses on).
I just installed Lux
https://play.google.com/store/apps/...t=W251bGwsMSwxLDEsImNvbS52aXRvLmx1eC5mcmVlIl0.
Seems to have fixed all my auto-brightness issues. Shame we have to use a third-party app to get auto-brightness to work flawlessly, but it's better than nothing. Plus the Lux app has additional features that I'm glad to have.
i also installed Lux, and set it to have the screen at 40% brightness at 0 Lux (default was 20% IIRC), and the screen has been at the correct brightness since.
My guess would be that the default settings in Lux are fine for most people. I do like my screen to be bright most of the time, hence the higher custom setting I put into Lux.

i don't know about all of you, but my screen is the biggest drain on my battery. my guess is the low auto settings is an effort to preserve battery life.
like someone said earlier, i never have an issue seeing the screen inside. only in direct sunlight does it make a noticeable difference. fortunately i have an auto-brightness toggle widget thanks to hd widgets
I have a 920 that came preinstalled with Portico ROM version (I bought it about two weeks ago). It's a great phone and improvement over my LM800.
One thing is bothering me, though. In low-light conditions the screen brightness keeps changing from normal and readable to hardly readable. It's like the light sensor is constantly flipping between two states. I read some report on the internet that I am not the only one.
Some suggested that it could be fixed by turning the phone of and turning it on in complete darkness and unlock the screen. That sounded a bit strange, since the screen will emit a lot of light during the boot process, but I tried it anyway... didn't work.
Anyone else experiencing this issue?
Not only do I have light bleed but I'm also seeing screen flicker. I really want to keep this device but I'm getting sick of this...
The first thing I noticed when I turned on the device was the light bleed. Its pretty bad, and I normally don't mind those types of things. No flicker here though.

I noticed if I turn up the brightness it goes away.
I don't have light bleed, but I do see flicker if the screen brightness is turned down. It's reminiscent of the original Nexus 7, which had the exact same problem.
I have the flickering too...really annoying. I was hoping that this would replace my iPad but it's not looking good. Although lollipop is pretty amazing so far.
Does it only happen you adjust the brightness? If so, i dont think its a big deal as long as it doesnt happen during actual usage.
I noticed the flicker issue when I first was using it. I then turned off auto brightness from the main settings and started using Lux Auto Brightness and the issue has been resolved as far as I can see. I suspect this is an issue with the Lollipop build's brightness manager and not a hardware issue from the backlight. Also as far as bleed goes, there is apparent bleed when viewing the screen at an angle and looking directly at the edge, however I have found that it is a complete non issue in normal use (even in a fully dark room), which stands in stark contrast to my Nexus 10 which has noticeable edge bleed when viewed straight on.
No Flicking here
No flickering here either.
No flickering, but the auto brightness is very weird! It goes from extremely bright to extremely dark without me actually moving, same light conditions?
No flicker here!
Well, I guess we can all admit screen flicker is of the norm of Tegra.
Im seeing flikkering too.....
Only when brightness is low.
Remind me why Google/htc did not decide to use a 64 bit Qualcomm processor instead? :-\
Do you think that this issue can be solved via software update, or is this issue hardware related, and therefore cannot be fixed easily

considering that not everyone has it
So i say no
This issue seems to be related to auto brightness/adaptive brightness: The same brightness level set manually doesn't flicker.
Seems to be a software issue to me, and it seems highly likely every Nexus 9 flickers with auto brightness on (and at low relative brightness setting) in low light environments.

But, my screen flickers when I am on a constant brightness level. But, it doesn't show up as much when the screen is on at full brightness, just when the screen is at half brightness or just below half.

I guess we aren't experiencing the same issue, then: My screen only flickers with adaptive brightness enabled in low light conditions, seems like it is constantly readjusting the screen between two brightness values.
My Nexus 9 doesn't flicker at any constant brightness setting.
Yep, my Nexus 9 flickers as well.
About 15-20% brightness (fixed). It doesn't flicker all the time and it goes away if you change the brightness level or even by itself if you change the app you are using.
This leads me to believe this might be a software issue (N7/2013 had this too when it came out).
My Oneplus X on OxygenOS 2.1.3-x (and earlier) had an issue with the display brightness in low light conditions (either too low or too high, sudden brightness changes).
Now I installed CM12.1 and it became a bit better (due to a more linear brightness slider, I think) but in the lowest light conditions I still experience sudden display brightness changes (I dont have a light source directly behind me in these cases).
I'm starting to think It's due to the light sensor / ambient light sensor on the phone. I tested it using the app Sensor Box for Android.
When in the darkest environments it switches between 0.0 lux, 9.0 lux and 13.0 lux. I compared to my old galaxy S3 and it's sensor can adjust to more different values (I believe any round number: 0, 1, 2 etc.).
This worries me because I'm doubting: is this because of hardware or software? (I didn't test the light sensor values when still on OxygenOS)
Since no one answered i'll do it. The light sensor is not as perfect as what you find in the galaxy S3. But it can be accounted for in the software. In OxygenOS2.2.1 the screen is less reactive to the sensor input in the lower region. Which mostly solves this. I have to say OOS2.1.2 was a bit of a beta release, but now thanks to Oneplus.

Hi! How is working on oos 2.2.1 the light sensor? The proximity is working fine on calls? Thanks!

Hello,
The lightsensor is working as described in the Original Post. But the software has increased in OOS 2.2.1 so the screen is reacting in a good (enough) manner on the light sensor input.
Edit: in low light it improved a lot, in high light it decreased a bit because it reacts slower to changes in ambient light, which you sometimes see when getting the phone out of your pocket.
