I have auto brightness turned off. The screen looks great when I wake the phone up, but if it's a sunny day and I wake it up the screen comes on strong and then immediately dims. I only see this happen when it's sunny. Am I missing a setting somewhere?
Thanks.

try using lux for me it's too bright at night time burns my eye
I noticed this too, also is to bright at night if i am reading in bed
The brightness isn't the issue for me... The issue is the noticeable dimming in direct sunlight.
Again, I do not have auto-brightness turned on yet I still experience noticeable screen dimming in sunlight.
Anyone have any idea why it might be doing this?

The screen dims by itself when you're using manual brightness?

Yes it does.
Glad to see this thread. I only noticed it once but I thought I was imagining it. Yeah it drops the brightness off by a decent margin which makes no sense. For me, it's still usable in sunlight but the full brightness would be better. I have auto brightness turned off as well as attentive display. Dunno what it is.

Yes. Give it a try and you'll see. It's really weird and it doesn't make any sense because it should be just the opposite of anything. But since I have it set to manual brightness it shouldn't do anything at all. Go figure...

they called me and told me that isnt not an issue, its a feature!! hahaha

A feature? Lol. I had it happen too and thought I was seeing things.
I was actually surprised that I couldn't find any mention of this "feature" here on XDA or even through a Google search. I think everyone was thinking that they must be imagining it. LOL!

Thanks, I haven't checked. Based on others' recommendations I downloaded Lux from the market and I am extremely happy with the feature set. After playing with it for a bit I immediately purchased the full version to support the dev. I'm impressed!
I'm down! Mine does it too. 21.21.12 holdout also. "Lux pro" works great.

Hi. I'm a relatively new Touchpad owner, and I've settled on CN Butta as my daily Android ROM, but I also use WebOS quite a bit. I have a lot to learn, but I'm (slightly) less stupid than I was, and getting less and less stupid every day. Unfortunately, my stupidity is getting in the way of fixing a minor problem. When I installed CN Butta, it set a default Moboot screen that is really really bright, like way brighter than the Touchpad ever is when it's running Android or WebOS. I removed the screen with ClassicNerd's Moboot cleaner zip, but when I updated his ROM today, the super-bright screen came back. How can I adjust the brightness on Moboot so it doesn't come up so bright?
I thought about posting this in the CN Butta thread, but that's in the developer section, and I am still WAY too stupid to post there, and this is a question anyways. I hope I am doing this right and not pissing anyone off. Thanks for your time in reading.

It matters when you're in bed in a dark room, and a brilliant flash of light disturbs the person trying to sleep next to you. I'll look into the themes, I was just hoping there was a way I could lower the brightness without having to change the theme every time I update my ROM, since this particular ROM changes it back to brilliance mode every update.
Hmmm... dunno what to tell you but my Moboot theme hasn't changed since I flashed the one I found and liked

Suggestion? Perhaps you could turn the device face down during initial bootup? So as not to disturb the person next to you trying to sleep?
Also if brightness is a concern for you during the night while the person next to you is trying to sleep. You may want to consider installing Chainfire3D, it has an excellent option for Nightmode use. I use it regularly at night. Also by the same developer there is an app called CF Lumen. It's similar as the Nightmode with Chainfire but with more lighting options.

Hello all!
I've picked my Nexus 7 today from CPW, even though I knew of the existing screen issues. Before buying it I had the time to have a quick look at it, just to make sure hardware wise was fine. Well yes, it was fine, but the colors are not calibrated. I know it's not a new thing, but at least it's not a hardware problem (or at least I hope it's not! ).
I was wondering if any of the apps/mods available in the forum/play store can actually help with the colours of the screen? I know a few years back Nexus One had issues with colour calibration and Nook as well, and there were a few mods developed which helped with the problem.
I'm happy with my nexus and I don't really want to return it, as the new one might have excellent colours but other issues would be present.
Would appreciate some suggestions or we could simply start a discussion on the topic and what could be done about calibrating the colours.
p.s. Apologies if this is not the right thread!
I would try trinity kernel, if u flash his kernel and buy his app u can do what u want to the colors. Its still alpha tho. Im using it on my gnex and its awesome.

Screen Adjuster helps a little, but doesn't do anything about the poor gamma. And unfortunately it makes the UI a little laggy. So probably not worth it. I haven't seen anything else so far.

The trinity kernel with the tkt app does not have the option yet for color calibration.

I must be seriously lucky, the screen on my Nexus 7 is brilliant. I have the Evo LTE, and I'm accustomed to nice screens. I get tons of compliments every day by people looking at my tablet and saying how crisp the colors and text are. I'm usually the one with the issues, but the sun shines on a dogs ass every now and then.
Thanks for the suggestion. I tried it now and i could actually achieve satisfying results but as u said the performance is seriously affected! At least this proves the colours can be fixed with software. I hope Google comes up with a fix of some sort !
About the crisp and clean screens... I've a galaxy s3 as well and I don't even want to compare it with the nexus!

I shined a light on my dog's ass and I saw no improvement in color response. What other steps did you take?
The gamma on mine is way off (down around 1.2 at 48% for me), but as I posted before the colour temp (on mine at least) seems excellent. Swings and roundabout I suppose. Unfortunately Android doesn't have colour management baked into the OS (neither does iOS) so there's no really practical solution at present. If you want proper calibration on a tablet sometime soon I guess the only option would be to get one of the x86 Win8 tablets at the end of the year.

My cellphone is more vibrant
But it has an amoled display. I usually run the Nexus at 25%, to save battery and because I find it too bright ( indoors anyway) to keep looking at it when it,s at 75 - 100%. If they do send a OTA fix, I might have to drop it down to 10%
Here's a screen shot at 25%. I don't know if a screen shot is accurate to show my screen brightness, but I'm good with the brightness and color.

Wanted to see if anyone elses' X does this.
Go into a dark/pitch black room.
Face down your phone and pick it up / get the AN to trigger.
Watch your screen after the AN fades out.
Does your whole screen go through a wavy/flicker effect? Lasts about 1 second. Looks slightly grey/brownish. Not so noticeable when it's bright out.
I have noticed this. I wanted to see if the active notification pixels were the only ones lighting up and I think they are. However, there is that brief moment that the whole screen is emitting enough light to be noticeable.
Ya I have noticed this too but only in very dark rooms. I'm not to worried; battery life is great for my usage.

That app may chew through your battery possibly, unlike moto's active display.
Just a heads up. ?
Greetings all,
What is it ?
I found this application in the Goole Play store which simulates the "Always On Display" feature for all AMOLED devices.
It is basically turns all pixels in AMOLED screen into black except the selected pixels for the clock. Yes it works with all kind of screens however it causes battery drain for non AMOLED screens.
Issues:
- Doesn't work well with fingerprint as you need to tap the home button every time you need to open the screen
- Doesn't work with 3rd party lock screen apps.
note:
Please note that I'm not the developer, I just know the developer and I can communicate with him issues.
or you can directly do so in the comments section in the Play Store

Unless I'm missing something, I don't see any option to automatically move the clock around the screen. It gives you the option to have it be on the top center or bottom of the screen, but no option to automatically move it around to prevent burn-in.
I would love to be proven wrong, cause I really want this app to work and not burn my screen! But I don't see the option, and thus far it's not moving on it's own...

I have done but the drain tends to be the same either way.
Amplify has had a good impact on my phone but at the moment i don't use that either, for me it's really about the apps that want to constantly update, so facebook, twitter etc.
Is this different with our default clock's "night mode"?
night mode also automatically move the time.
any tap on the screen will return it to the lockscreen, if its locked, returns to the clock menu if unlocked.
Nice app, but could have more customization options, such as changing the battery icon and much more! But i liked of this app
This app is working great on my Pixel XL. Disabled all the gestures for "waking" the phone up as I have fingerprint scanner.
My Xperia 1 ii was supplied by Vodafone and has latest software update.
I have noticed an issue whereby when I wake my device up and I'm in a fairly dim room it wakes up on full brightness every the and quite slowly reduces down to just off of minimum.
Don't understand why it always starts on full brightness?
Same thing happening here, I assume it's a bug that'll be resolved in the future.
I don't have this problem. But I do have issue with the brightness in general. In bright sunlight it's very hard to read the screen, even at 100% brightness. (Much worse than my wife's fruit phone for example.)
I agree also that the brightness could be better in strong sunlight however on a positive note I do think the issue I has has been fixed in the last update I received a couple of days ago.

Same here. Auto brightness is actually a mess (indoors and especially @ night).
Need an update to sort this ASAP.
I'm pretty sure this was an issue on another Sony phone I had also..
Other than this the phone has been great and battery life is really solid for me.

I'm curious, is it the case that the adaptive brightness learns? More specifically if it sets a brightness level automatically and I up it a little manually using the slider, does this help it learn my custom value in that environment for future use in its automation?
I haven't really used auto brightness before however feeling now it would be handy, as I was finding myself adjusting it a lot. Been using it for a day now and so far it's doing a good job, just occasionally I'll adjust it.
