Auto Brightness Issues - OnePlus 3 Guides, News, & Discussion

OP3 updated to 3.2.2 still no fix for auto brightness.

Well, what's the problem?
I find posts like this a waste of time. Elaborate or link to somewhere showing what the issue is.

I find your comments waste of space. Everybody that used this phone for 1 day easily notices that the adaptive brightness doesn't work right. Have you noticed or you don't have that ability?

Touchy.
No need to be insulting, just pointing out that some context on the issue could have been helpful.
Given I have been reading this forum since it was released, this issue doesn't jump out as a massive issue.

Doesn't matter. Issue exist and should be top priority on the list of bugs because it is related to the display. I bet you never use adaptive brightness, do you?

Issue exist does it?
Ok. It's nice that they fix many, many other things like memory, sRGB and notifications first though yea??
I do use adaptive, yes thanks.

I feel that the auto brightness is to low for my taste. I installed Lux and now auto brightness is more to my liking.

Dude what does w.e you saying with the topic of this thread. Who cares what they fixed. OP is asking them to fix the adaptive brightness bug. And good thing you use it. Thanks for confirming you are not capable of noticing issues. You shouldn't even comment here then.

You are right. Adaptive brightness is crap on the 1+3. It changes all of a sudden and gets very low. Or in bright situations, it doesn't change at all in order to adapt to the new lightening conditions.

Most people.
Well done on dismissing OnePlus' work so far on resolving issues with the phone so quickly.
Everything cannot be 'Priority 1', issues with memory and notifications were clearly prioritised as more important to date.
I'm sure this issue will be fixed in the near future.

Lmao Well thanks for another trolling post! This thread is specific to the adaptive brightness bug. Create another one to give trophies to oneplus for fixing whatever they were supposed to have done right in the first place. Most people [emoji58]

Great thread. Auto brightness is totally rubbish. It needs addressing along with max brightness And the trick Sammy and lg use in sunlight when they boost contrast for outdoor readability. Come on oneplus 3...screen c?*n go brighter and we know it

I agree, the brightness automatically goes down very suddenly and too far when the surrounding light hasn't really dropped much or at all.

If my g4 can survive a day with a higher res screen then op3 can sure do it with better brightness

Why don't you just install Lux and set your own brightness values? It's working great for me so far since it fixes that dimming issue

I used lux on several occasions but don't like a 3rd part app controlling my brightness. I also didn't think it was that good . I get it that maybe a solution for you but oneplus should sort it so until then manual it is

Screen dimming app

The lowest brightness setting on the Turbo is still pretty bright. Any apps out there that can dim it below factory settings without need for root access?

Absolutely perfect. Just what I was looking for. Thank you kind person.
This is refreshing to hear with most people *****ing about it not being bright enough. Personally, I think the brightness is just fine
Sent from my XT1254 using Tapatalk
I think the brightness is just fine also. Not sure why people want brighter. I figure the brighter the screen the quicker you'll burn out your eyes. I always keep my setting on auto brightness anyways. Only reason I wanted a dimmer app is so I don't bother my sleeping wife at night when I'm on my phone.

I just checked one out in the store and, yeah, was extremely bright. Can't say that for any of the reps, however.
Also check this out https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.vitocassisi.luxlite&hl=en I love it!
I'm using "Darker" it also gives you the option to dim the capacitive buttons. Looks great! Free and Pro versions available:

So it is wrong about the analysis about the screen in Phone Arena?.
They said the screen is really poor because the maximum brightness is 248 that is pretty lame to me. Chart is on bottom of page 1.

screen is great. Haven't once noticed it being too dim. In fact at night its too bright. I use Lux Dash app to dim it lower.

Ditto to this. The screen gets insanely bright for nighttime use. I also use my phone in direct sunlight 75% of the time. Better than my s4 brightness. I'm not sure what people are complaining about.

[Tip] better screen color.

Okay so I been feeling unhappy with way my screen looks. The pink tint has been annoying me. I turned off the live display because it was crap IMO. I noticed in the menu of livedisplay an option called color calibration. Duh. I'm sure a lot of you know this but. I'm also sure a lot of you don't. Pink is red. Drop red to 97 and the picture looks so much more realistic and yes. Less pink.

What and where is live display?
Is it a CM thing? That's the closest a search would lead. I ask, because I'm on stock ROM.

Thanks I applied your logic to Color Control since I am on stock rom. It was really hard to lower 1 notch from 255 to 254, the developer should make that better. Anyways I think it looks much better. I increased contrast and saturation slightly as well.

Oneplus 3T touch screen latency

Can anyone tell me the touch screen latency of Oneplus 3T. Higher latency was the only deal breaker for me with One plus 3 which was 95ms.

You don't realize until you know it. But once you know it, it is difficult to use phones with high touch screen latency. Check this out:

I don't know how to calculate it but you can estimate it. Enable show touches in developer options and try to drag your finger around. See the YouTube video for better estimations.

Using the video you posted, latency falls between 10ms and 50ms, but closer to 50ms.
BTW, OS 3.5.3 update for the 3T specifically addresses high latency issues.

SGS Touchscreen Booster app does wonders for other androids.
Someone try it and report back
Also Note 4 has an option to increase touch sensitivity in the pull down menu.
Is there an option to do so on the OP3T?
It's pretty sickeningly quick/smooth coming from the galaxy s5, if I say so

That app says "Only for Samsung Galax S up to Android 2.3.x."
App Link to SGS in Google Play
I think the sensitivity of the panel is something different, as it would be more based on being able to detect soft touches.
Nothing scientific of course, but it didn't seem noticeable to me at first. I'm coming from a LG G4 which doesn't appear to have the best latency in the first place, according to this post on Reddit. Since all the posts came up about it I've started to notice it slightly, but nothing that hinders the user experience. Maybe in other cases it's more apparent, but so far in my day to day use it hasn't been an issue.
It works in later phones.
Use it on my note 4.... and it helps improve the touch experience

Pixel 4XL screen hue

Is it just me or the pixel 4XL screen has a bit of greenish-yellowish tint to it with Ambient EQ off? I'm kind of nit-picky so it's been bugging me lately.
It's a consequence of having 90hz at a lower brightness. Unless it's like that even at a higher brightness level?
Yup. I don't know why it's the 90hz cause never had this problem with my 7 pro.
I do find it is calibrated to green even in normal conditions

Interesting, since I do see multiple reports about the same problem on the 7pro and 7t regarding green tint.

I've seen 7t but when you look a lot them are not the same and they look more like hardware issues.
I've had the 7 pro since launch and have had the community app, XDA and Reddit which I look at regularly and I've never come across a thread about a green tint because of 90hz
At 100% brightness it looks fine, But if I dim it to 75% or lower, there's a little bit of green tint when you look at it on a white background.

Can you disable 90hz on the oneplus devices? If you can then maybe it just never occurred to them to try to disable 90hz and see if the issue still persists. It certainly didn't dawn on me until I saw someone else having the issue and they reported disabling 90hz solved the problem.

I tried disabling 90Hz. It does not correct the issue of the green hue. It is not as bad, but it is still there. What disabling 90Hz eliminates (mostly) is the red-shift that occasionally occurs.
It's doing my head in now. My screen has a green hue, really bad on Grey's, worse the dimmer it is. I can turn my screen off and on and instead of a green hue it's purple and super contrasty instead. Going to try a replacement but I'm not expecting it to be much difference as seeing same problems from other users.
The black crush in lower brightness seems to be worse than the op 7 pro too

Don't waste your time with a replacement i did and it's the same, Google have calibrated it like this deliberately do a search on Google. Will wait for the 5 unless they've sold even less pixels this year than last year in which case we may not a see a pixel again while that current development team is in place.

Did you also turn smooth display off as well? Since as of the Nov update it kicks into 90hz at lower brightness levels now.
Pixel 4xl has very warm display. Staying next to my note 9 looks bad. Basically no whites unless 90 plus brightness.

Yes, I did. There would not be much point in doing half a test. I’m very thorough with stuff
Hi guys I have a pixel 4 whose display shows some green spots while displaying blacks. Do you think it's burn in or it rather be the green tint that everybody talks about? Thank you very much, I don't know if I have to do a replacement or not ?
ps. if you zoom in the right corner you can see these green spots

Looks like you have some stuck pixels there in this case the green sub pixel is stuck. Could try to run a stuck pixel fixer and let it run for awhile. But honestly ,it looks like you have so many that a miracle would be required. I would just contact support and have them RMA.

High Brightness Mode WITHOUT Rooting??!

Does anyone who already has the 5 (or know someone that does) know whether or not High Brightness Mode is FINALLY accessible WITHOUT having to root??
If so, please let us know! I just pre-ordered the phone 2 weeks ago, and it will be my first Pixel. Really hoping they allow this!! :fingers-crossed:
Thanks in advance!!

At least they made it brighter this year. The Pixel 4's MAX brightness when Auto Brightness is enabled is 610 nits, where the 5's is 670. I still wish it was in the 800-900s (or more) region though. But at least they improved it.
