Anyone experiencing random screen brightness?
Every once on a while when I turn the screen on I notice the screen is brighter (kind of washed out looking). If I put the screen to sleep and then turn it back on it goes back to normal. Don't know if it's a defect or what. Just wondering if anyone else had noticed something similar. (Smart Actions are not on so I don't think it's that)

I've had my Razr for about 16 days now. So far, this has happened once. I always use the phone with ambient light sensor off, and brightness set to lowest setting, but one night when I turned I the screen it looked like it was on the highest brightness setting, and the screen had weird colors. The reds had turned to purples, if I remember correctly. I turned the screen off then on, and that seemed to fix the washed out colors, but not the excessive brightness. At some point later that night, the brightness fixed itself without intervention.
yeah I get that too, been getting it probably once a day for the last week or so. I have mine on auto brightness and I can get it sitting in the same chair in the same light conditions a couple of minutes apart from no issue.
Switch on from lockscreen and the brightness is through the roof, hit power button to suspend and its fine when I go to open.
Yesterday I had it the other way, was really dark at first
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 friend that bought a GS III recently. When I hold my GS III up next to his, with the same picture set for the background on both phones, both running on auto brightness, I notice that mine almost always looks less vibrant than his, and he agrees. It definitely isn't just my imagination. When both of our phones are set to max brightness, they look the same, the issue seems to go away. Is it common for different phones of the same model to have different ways of managing auto brightness? Is it possible that the screen on my phone simply has build quality issues? Also, is there anyway, short of always just messing with the brightness slider, to have the auto brightness work at a consistently slightly brighter level than it currently does? any apps out there that fix this?
Has anyone else experienced a similar 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).
Wondering if any of you have a flickering of your screen when you press the power button or turn on the device. I notice in the top left of the device some pixels light up before an image is shown when turning on the screen. I'm still within the return window so I wouldn't want the device to have display issues down the line.

I have the S1 and have never see one part of the display light up before the rest, have you tested the screen,
Download a screen test app and go though the colors in a dark room, you can normally increase/decrease the brightness just by dragging your finger up and down the screen, check for any inconsistencies in the screen, a low brightness light gray shows up a lot of problems.

John.
it seems that i have the same problem on my new galaxy tab s3 t820.
a short flickering of pixels on the black screen before the startscreen occurs.
did you solve the problem yet?

I returned that unit to Costco and bought another. Didn't want to risk it going bad later.
