I am thinking of getting the droid turbo. This morning i tried it in my local vz store. I noticed that when i put it on auto brightness it seems overly dim. If i put it on full brightness manually it seems fine. Has anyone else noticed that auto brightness seems overly dim. I use a galaxy nexus now and it has the same problem. Along with being hard to see in sunlight.
Thanks
Hasn't been an issue on mine.
Well I use lux and keep my auto way darker than normal so I can't comment on that. I had a gnex, I can tell you it's much easier to see this screen in sunlight, AMOLED technology has come far in the years since that phone.
Thanks that eases my concerns some.
I quit using auto brightness long ago on my s4. Same with the turbo. I have it turned up to 90-95% brightness or whatever is easiest on my eyes. No complaints.
I came from the S4, I work outside. Outdoor usability is far better than the S4. I've currently got one of the skinomi screen protectors on, it made kind of hard to see in direct sunlight FWIW. I'm awaiting arrival of a glass screen protector so it's temporary.
Also, I never used auto brightness on my S4, I'm OK with it on the turbo, its alot more responsive.
I switched from a Galaxy Nexus a week ago. It's still a bit hard to see in bright, direct sunlight but it's definitely an improvement over the Galaxy Nexus. I've found the screen is easy to see in any condition other than directly under clear-sky sun.
Let me know if you have any other questions about switching from a Galaxy Nexus.
It's a BIG upgrade.
(except I did prefer the smaller size of the GNex).
I've never used auto. Coming from my s4 this looks great...

Haven't noticed any issues with mine (and that was one of my chief concerns as I have never owned a phone with an OLED panel before.) I will admit that I haven't used it in full sunlight yet (its been rainy here since I got my phone) but even outside and under the fluorescent lights at work It seems more than bright enough so far.
Indoors or overcast situations are okay, direct sunlight... Need to block sun with my other hand to see the screen.
I'm also using lux, I personally hate the screen being overly bright. Stock auto brightness in the case is too much for me. For example with lux I actually have the brightness in the negatives when in almost complete darkness, which is way lower than what the stock lowest brightness is. The advantages to this is, it's better for your eyes, especially when it comes to your night vision in the long run and it helps with the battery

I feel the same way. I think the screen Auto is overly-bright. Do you use the paid version of LUx?

Is there any way with an app like AnyCut or SQLITE to edit a field to make the screen brighter? I know this may be a longshot, but with some of the other parts of the phone being capable of manipulation, I thought I'd at least ask. I understand the drain on the battery and possible other risks, but the screen, even at 100% brightness, seems to just not be that bright..
What? I can see my screen in bright clear skies daylight.... that's a bright screen! You live on Mercury or what?
If I stand outside with my screen set to 100% and auto turned off.. I have a hard time plaing contract killer because some of the characters become extremly hard to see.. If I play it on the galaxy tab in the same conditions, the characters are easy to see.. But it is true of most things I look at on the screen.. Out and about in direct daylight, the screen just isnt as bright as it needs to be..
That has nothing to do with screen brightness. The galaxy tab is a Super Amoled screen and the Thrill is LCD. That is why Samsung phones are more visible in direct sunlight too.

I wish mine would go dimmer. I like to keep it on auto and its usually pretty good but at night it keeps my screen way too bright. If I use the built in widget to toggle the brightness it just puts it too dim. The only way to get it to a decent dimness in the dark is to use the slider. I say the screen it too bright 90% of the time.

Now that is do-able. I'm not sure how to do it though. Cm7 has the option to adjust the auto-brightness levels based on specific light sensor values.

Im very picky so first I notice a tiny chip in the surrounding metal and I can feel it by hand, but I thought oh well this is ok if the screen is perfect. but then when I turned the brightness to max, I noticed light bleed at the upper corner. It's also noticeable at 50%. RMA asap.. shame I just got it today, the replacement could take up to 3-5 weeks. Actually I ordered this for my bro who is oversea so I need to get the replacement before the last week of january for my uncle to bring it oversea to him, and this makes me worried if it takes till february. I don't wanna send a defected one to my bro and he's really looking forward to this.

This is the extent of my light bleed (pic below).
I've decided to keep it regardless; I don't invest much time looking at a blank screen when using my phone but if your brother does, godspeed and good luck.

Turn any LCD to full brightness and you get it, the only reason you don't see it from the media is they all have auto brightness on which solely exists to hide this IMO..
If it bothers you then use OLED.
The so called amazing Retina screens Apple have used have the same issue when you turn it up full brightness....

Wao... actually mine is better than this (only 1 at the top right corner). But consider this is a phone ..light bleed is not acceptable whatsoever. On a tablet it might be ok. I can keep this N4 till I het the replacement. Hopefully the replacement will be better.

Auto brightness exists to save battery and increase brightness only when necessary, not hide light bleed
I find auto brightness to be perfectly acceptable on my nexus 4 (way better than gnex) and notice no light bleed . only time I notice it is on the boot screen

I have a little on the top right of my screen. I do notice it, especially since I'm coming from an AMOLED screen. This phone is easy better, and I don't want to RMA it and chance getting one with a big problem. But my Nexus 7 uses an LCD a well, and there is absolutely no light bleed. My HTC ReZound had no light bleed, and neither did my LG Spectrum... both of which use 720p LCD panels, though slightly smaller ones. So, I'm a little frustrated. But, it's still the best phone I've ever used

any amoled cannot have light bleeding because the technology works differently.
LCD screens have a light behind a liquid display the display cannot emit light and requires an alternative light source to be behind it to shine through so think of it as a sandwich (backlight) / LCD / (glass)
ideally there should be material that prevents most of the light from escaping around the LCD itself however its not a 100% seal hence you get light on the edges; small devices like phones its more noticeable cause the light does not need to travel as far making the issue seem worse. generally this is a normal part of LCD technology however if it is EXTREME you should RMA some light bleeding is normal extreme light bleed is not.
AMOLED Does not have a back light so there is no external light source that can leak out around the screen itself instead the individual pixels emit the light hence AMOLED will never have light bleeding.
so if you have a little light bleed dont RMA you might get something worse and yours is most likely fine; your just complaining about a normal and acceptable flaw in LCD tech.
I've owned 3 different n4's and they all had light bleed. Noticed all had them in the right top corner, with one unit having more bleed at the bottom left. Don't rma it unless it's pretty bad
Ok as the tittle applies I am not sure if it's normal or not. I Google it but to no avail. I love my Samsung galaxy note 4, but one thing that's bothering me now is the fact that the screen will automatically change from regular to HIGH contrast "mode" in direct sunlight....also the second problem lies within the screen itself where sun will shine and the WHITE will look washed out. It will look pink Hue kinda color. Your fingers shadows makes it clear white again...it's this normal? I already got to deal with the damn gap cleaning it all the time now this??? Anyone else has this experience? [emoji27] [emoji27] [emoji27]
Seems to happen only when it's directly at the sun...or the sunshine hitting it from the left side of the phone. Turning the opposite direction does not cause the purple hue.
Ready for an off the wall question? The only reason I ask is because of what I've seen before with my own eyes.
1. Do you use a lot of lotion? Oily lotion? Glass in general is poreus and like a cast iron pan where you have to cure it with oil, this similar effect can happen to your phones glass screen over time. Sounds crazy, but I've seen some greasy phones before.
2. Do you use hair spray with your phone near by? This too can cause some funkiness.
I couldn't help but share....really odd topic, but like I've said.....I've seen some............
Are you rooted using Wanna xposed? If so turn off the -/+ slider
This happens on mine also. It seems to happen when it senses an overly bright environment. If you've noticed, it does improve readability quite a bit. If you turn the 'auto' checkbox off, that won't happen anymore....
It's growing on me.
I love my shiny, new Note 4....

Mine was from Wanna Xposed -5 +5 once I turned that option off it went away.
No not rooted completely stock. Not rooting till android 5.0 officially drops. Or else you'll be dealing with a huge pain rooting your device because of the security fixes on android 5.0 even chainfire had trouble.
I started a thread on same thing,the over brightness doesn't bother me to much,but the pink hue does,and it does it regardless if auto brightness is on or not,just have to be in natural light,wondering if this is normal,mine also has a light pink/purple hue on display that goes from bottom right to top left,trying to ignore it.
Its apparently a feature of the Note 4...why...iunno.
But your phone is not deffected at all, it happens under HIGH sun light...its horrible but ya...my way around it is to use 3rd party autobrightness apps like lux. With those on it does not happen
From what I've read getting a amoled display without any white color differential can be really hit and miss,everyone I've had look at don't notice it,even taking it to 3 different tmobile stores and they all look at me crazy,guess it takes looking at screen for a while for eyes to get use to seeing it,then u start noticing it.
I don't like it at all. But I love my note 4 too much to return it for something "normal", it bothers me to these screen is supposed to be beautiful! Lol even tho it is not so much under the sun unfortunately. The extra brightness I don't mind. I do mind the pink/purple hue. It's damn right horrid
Lol totally agree with you on pink/purple hue...Today is day 14 for me on exchange time,all stores have been in and out of stock..So now I would have to settle for a warranty refurbished phone and from what I've seen it's basically the roll of the dice when u get one..Guess that's the price u pay for bleeding edge technology.
---------- Post added at 12:18 AM ---------- Previous post was at 12:17 AM ----------
Still would like to know why the pink hue...lol
This is not a defect.. it's a feature to allow better readability in direct sunlight.. and it works.
However, the funny thing is, it works even when Auto Brightness is no checked, when in direct sunlight at max brightness

The at&t variant I personally own never gave me these issues. I have read the pink tint issues were associated with the adaptive /automatic brightness enabled?! Yet, on mine I saw no pink with it enabled or disabled.
And there are videos on YT showing burn in. It is basically the soft keys at the bottom. Triangle, circle, and the square are the culprits. But again no issues for me.
Now the very 1st day my phone did a random reboot on me - twice! But, as soon as I unlocked bootloader, rooted it, and used a custom recovery the reboots never surfaced again! Go figure?! And the nexus 6 is definately the fastest performing phone I owned yet

AMOLED's can all have that issue, but I personally have never seen it happen (I have had a gnex for almost 2 years which used AMOLED and doesn't have burn-in). The pink "issue" isn't really an issue, google allowed the screen brightness to go extremely dark on the N6. This causes the screen to take on a pink tint simply due to the way amoled's function at that low a brightness. The screen does have a warmer hue to it as well because it is AMOLED, but you can use a custom kernel to tweak RGB values and give the screen a cooler tint. Hope that helps

That is correct, all AMOLED's are susceptible to this because of the O in AMOLED, which stands for Organic. The organic compounds that are used in these screens are susceptible to burn in due to the fact that the organic compounds degrade with a lot of use. Of the RGB subpixels, Blue subpixels degrade quickest. However, the N6 uses a Pentile pixel arrangement. This has upsides and downsides, but it is actually an upside as far as this issue is concerned, because the Pentile layout contains less blue subpixels, so there is less susceptibility to burn in.
If you want to combat this issue further, you can use blacked out google apps, and use ROM's with blacked out system options, use a mostly black wallpaper, etc. This is because on an AMOLED screen when the screen is black, the pixels are not displaying any light and thus are not degrading at all. This should reduce your chances of running into the issue. It will also save battery life since the screen is not using as much energy. That is one of the upsides to AMOLED screens, along with the very dark blacks you get in movies and games for the same reason (pixels are not lighting at all). Like I said, I've used other AMOLED screens and not run into this problem as of yet, to my understanding it should take years before you start to see burn in even with normal use. Some people say they have issues right away but that has not been my experience.
All screens of any technology are correctly color calibrated at a given brightness and are very far off at extremes. With an LCD, it will generally be too blue at high brightness and not blue enough at low brightness. That is because the backlights are never a 6500K source. They are basically always bluer than standard.
The Note 4, to pick an AMOLED example, does not get red at very low brightness, but that is because it (according to others) has a higher minimum brightness. My screen takes on a red tint when in a dark room with adaptive brightness enabled if I have the brightness slider set below about 30%. I consider this a handy feature since I don't like the feeling of staring into a light bulb.
Above about 30%, or in a room with a light on, the screen stays normal for me.
I have not seen thecpink issue on my N6 at all.

Not sure about the bottom paragraph, surely you mean inverted colours? Also If you use a mostly black wallpaper you're more likely go get burn in because the pixels around navigation buttons aren't on at all and are thus not degrading whilst the navigation buttons are fully on and are degrading.

Inverted, blacked out, I don't think there's a difference. The button icons themselves will eventually burn in because they are almost always on unless you opt for pie like controls, but like I said that should be over a span of years. A black background will keep everything else from wearing faster though and should give you better battery performance.
I have had the phone for a week now and have not seen either of these issues. I do keep my screen fairly dim, like minimum brightness PLUS a screen dimmer for the nights and early mornings. I do not see any pink what so ever with adaptive brightness off and the minimum setting for brightness. I only turn the screen up when outdoors. I don't know I just find the screen really bright while indoors and I would assume burn in would be more susceptible with higher brightness
So i can safely buy the device right?
Anyway i have to order the phone overseas (No 64GB avalible in my country and the price tag too high anyway).
Rate this thread to express how well you can see the HTC 10's display outdoors. In case you've been playing Minecraft for 18 months straight, you might not known how to get outside anymore. Well, find the door and walk through it. A higher rating indicates that it has very high maximum brightness and thus fantastic outdoor visibility in direct sunlight.
Then, drop a comment if you have anything to add!
Perfectly fine in 12258 lux of sunlight.

Seems reasonable, not as bright as an S7 but it's not an AMOLED.
The screen is most definitely very very bright in bright sunlight on "auto" setting with slider to the max. I have no issues with the brightness outdoors. Make sure to keep the "auto" setting, there is a brightness boost built in with "auto". Also, do not use Power Saver feature (I am not taking about the Extreme Power Saver mode). The Power Saver will ruin the brightness in sunlight completely and thoroughly.
Compared the 10 with my Samsung S6 at noon in direct sunlight in Tucson, AZ on June 06. Couldn't see either for ****e.

Personally, I think max brightness on this phone isn't nearly bright enough. When I stop off at the Starbucks drive through in the morning and attempt to pay with my phone (pops a barcode on screen for the barista to scan) they always need to take my phone from me inside where it's a bit darker to scan. I have never had this issue with any other device, and never see any of the cars ahead of me having a similar issue. This is with auto brightness on and the slider all the way at max.
Remember that when you go outside, the sun is bright, you slip on your polarized sun glasses. Next time you look at the screen, it's dark.
Remember the screen is polarized as well, and not in the best orientation. Turn the phone horizontal, see if brighter again.

Yeah, I can relate. From all the recent phones I've tested, the 10 fares the worst in direct sunlight / bright day environment... Even so, the only time I find it really annoying is when I try to take photos or shoot video. I always feel that the screen is too dark or that the photos I take are too dark. When I look at them back home, on a large PC screen, I see that the photos are ok, well-lit...

Then you can't take pictures with sunglasses on and you can't use the gps while driving with the SGs on. It goes both ways in terms of preferable polarization orientation.
