[Q] Screen flickers when manually set to low brightness?

Hi everyone, i would like to know if this happens just to me or all of you out there.
today i noticed that my screen flickers when i set the brightness to low. it's very noticeable when i have the background set to light.
I tried restarting it, it was ok at first but after i opened a few programs then quit them by pressing the start button the screen started flickering again.
it seems like it flickers the most under heavy cpu or memory load, for example when moving between the tiles screen and the list screen or when i'm using the facebook app.
it's not a huge problem but it's very annoying..
Please leave some feedback about wether your phone is the same or not.. Thanks!
my Desire S flicker too when the brightness is low....

Neo V ~Flickering Screen

As the title says my screen brightness flickers :O
Is it a big problem ??!?! :O
Usually happens when on low brightness.. the brightness flickers for a few seconds !
Im scared
Hardware issue ??
Thanks for all your replies in advance
Yeah, I got the same problem with mine xperia neo v...
I think ambient light sensor is calibrating or something... I got that flickering around 1 time in day.
Same problem here...on low brightness...
So i'm not the only one facing the issue
Happens only once in a day so it could be what armando101 said
Thanks
it is caused by fluorescent light sources. You can see them flicker too when you capture it with a camera:
Action at 0:40
Phew
Thought something was wrong with my phones LCD
Thanks mate
If you're annoyed by this, try installing SuperDim from the Market. It can lock brightness levels. You need root, through.
Also, don't set the brightness too low with SuperDim or the screen won't turn on when you unlock the phone.
I can confirm that this happens when the light sensor adjusts the screen brightness. If you go to Settings > Screen > Screen brightness, and here set it to max, you will disable the auto brightness feature and the flickering should stop. It will have negative effect on your battery performance though.

Is it caused by the effect I showed in post #5?

im not really sure for my answer, but try it, just remove the auto brightness, because sometimes the sensor are to much sensitive when it become dimmed in the area. just try it nothing will lose if you will try, but you will gain more....
Oh cool
Thanks

how will you disable the auto brightness without having to root the phone?
You can't disable auto brightness without root.
Anyways the app is here: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.hatcyl.android.Disable_Auto_Brightness&hl=en
I'm using it mainly for games. Really annoying when the screen dims just because your hand covers the light sensor.

[Q] Full Brightness waves

I am using z2 about 10 monts. Today i feel when i put mobile full brightness i observed some wave running from top to bottom. Specially observed when open NDR utility and es file explorer. Before appearing the both applications interface waves appear for instance. I am worried is it ok or some problem. And also today observed brightness bright more autometically, althoug i am on full brightness. Any help suggestion Thanks in advance
I've noticed the brightness change on its own too sometimes. I always use full brightness (adapt to lighting conditions disabled) and randomly, I'll notice my screen get brighter or darker sometimes. It's completely random, not sure what causes it.

Omg I thought I was the only one, My brightness is set at 100% when I quickly unlock the phone I notice a quick dimming on the screen even though it's at full brightness...

Yup I have the exact same thing. Not sure if others have it as well, but as far as I'm concerned, it's normal (I hope)

Second Screen dimming

Just got the V10 and the second screen dims after 2 or 3 seconds after turning off the main screen. Is there a way to adjust the timing when the second screen dims? The dimmed second screen is almost unreadable because it is so dim.
Ditto, the idea that this is a replacement for a notification LED is really damaged by the dimming. (It's not just me that bought the phone based on that idea, right?) What I've found so far:
With the screen brightness set to 0, the second screen dims fully a few seconds after sleeping. Icons become about as noticeable as dust reflections.
With the screen brightness set to 100, the second screen follows the ambient light sensor after sleeping. Under bright light it turns itself up to the point where it's useable.
I've been playing with all the LEDs that Light Flow sees, but at least without root, nothing has any effect. I might look through the /sys files later. We probably need to get root first to figure this out.
On auto brightness it seems to be that the device adjusts the dimmed display for the ambient lighting? It's not the easiest thing in the world to see, but it's certainly not hard for me to see what notifications I have. I really prefer this over a colored LED.
Light Flow settings
For what it's worth, here's my current setup, now that the T-Mobile H901 is rooted. This does no one without root any good, and I don't know how it would translate to similar LED managers. I've been using Light Flow since the Sapphire (MyTouch 3G).
Light Flow device settings: check direct mode, root mode, and run every command as root. The Nexus 5 force reset option is checked by default and I don't know if that's relevant (no calls yet). Everything else in the menu is unchecked.
Let Light Flow control lcd-backlight-ex.
In a notification, set that "LED" to Solid and to 255 brightness. Check Enable Mixer and App controlled flash. With that last setting, the app will reset the brightness every few seconds even if the system dimmed it due to an ambient light change.
Now I need to edit some notification icons to be big and colorful. I wonder how this will impact battery life? Now the app is going to be awake all the time.
I've noticed that today on auto brightness the second screen will increase in light but not much. It also is not as smoth of a transition as on main display. It kinda jumps up real quick..
Yes for me I've noticed on Auto brightness the second screen will dim in a dark room and if you turn off your phone while in that room then come out... The second screen is still dim.... It's like th second screen doesn't respond to the light sensors at all unless the main screen is on.

It would have been nice if lg included the capability to change the second screen settings such a brightness or text color.

Another one of many things that it would be cool to see baked into a custom stock rom. Good stuff. I wonder if Cloudyfa might come over and cook on this awhile. I have always loved his stock Roms....

Color would be cool. A classic CRT bright/lime green, for instance, would probably show up much better than the white.
We need to get on their forums with these ideas. Maybe some will get squeezed into an update
An app which turns off auto dim in case screen is off would be pretty much help. Maybe I'll develop one.

Flickering screen

Does anybody have a flickering display?
I like to dim the brightness in the evening almost to the minimum. Then it is quite easy to see some "pumping" (flicker) of the brightness, when I use the phone. It seems to be even more visible, when I turn on the "night owl" app, in order to filter the blue light out of the screen.
