Hi, after using my prime for about a day, ive noticed a couple of annoying things. Most importantly, my screen brightness is jumping a bit hen scrolling on web pages, or when chaning the picture.
Auto Brightness is obviously off, and this seems more like a dynamic-contrast thing i have on my TV. Really bugging me out.
The second thing is that Battery-info is useless, is there no way to improve this? I see that this is a bug that has been present since TF101, and i do suspect it to be caused by the funky 2-battery setup. Is there any other way to see my screen-on time?
Thanks alot!
Hi dude
Yes it is normal with this so called auto brightness look:

Hello this is my first tablet so sorry if this is a basic question, but i have my screen set on a certain brightness (not auto) yet sometimes when i watch a movie or use a certain app, the screen would quickly change brightness. Its just for a brief moment but noticeable. Not sure if it's the device or a setting im missing.

I have found that auto brightness is finicky. I finally gave up on it and just set my brightness at a comfortable 15%. But yes I am having the same issue. I think it has to do with the built in power settings, seems to do it less on balanced and normal power setting.
Interesting. Don't have one myself yet, but I believe the Tegra 3 does do some image adjustments to lower power use while maintaining picture quality. Maybe try different power settings and see if it makes a difference.

Hmm, yeah that could be really annoying. Hope it's not a built in feature.
Interesting article explaining the tegra 3 feature that helps you save battery life by adjusting the pixel brightness and color...

Yeah i have a similar thing on my laptop, but i could turn it off so was just curious. Anyone know the best case to get?

Hi guys,
I was looking for some help/advise on a way to fix my stock browser on my GT-i9100 running ICS XWLP7
When I go into the stock browser regardless of the setting my display is too in Setting/display/brightness it instantly gets a lot brighter.
So I change to low power saving mode through the settings of the browser and it dims the screen when using browser, great!
However after doing this when exiting from browser back to home screen it's affected my overall display settings not just browser display, weird!
Not only is my overall display now dim and auto brightness in settings/display/brightness is now off but my phone has also gone from a dynamic display to a standard display mode, even though it is checked as dynamic.
When I move between these 2 screen modes now there is no difference at all. Only a reboot fixes it.
Does anyone else have this issue?
Any help, advise, tweaks or mods to fix this would be most welcomed.
Many thanks in advance and also my apologies if this has already been discussed but I spent hours trauling XDA and couldnt find it anywhere.
Thanks guys!

The display brightness of the browser is independent of the display brightness of the rest of the phone.

So does this mean that my phone isn't working correctly?
I'm aware that the 2 settings should be completely independent of one another but it's definitely not in my case.
It's weird that it alters the display mode too so Standard and Dynamic are the same after changing browser brightness.
If I don't alter the browsers brightness my phone is fine.
Can some one else try on their phone? I have tried factory reset,wipe cache, flash new firmware etc and nothing seems to help!
Thank you for your help
Can no one help me?
Surely it's not just me that has this issue.............

Can somebody PLEASE help me with this issue, my friend is also experiencing the same problem so I know it's not just my phone.
We would love to know a way to fix it or if someone else is experiencing the same things.
I would be very very grateful for a little help.
I have a couple of "issues" with the phone. Not sure if its software related or hardware related. Maybe you guys can check on yours too see if it happens. This is all on stock ATT rom
It seems the One has "dynamic contrast" enabled by default. When scrolling on webpages, for example, if I come to an area with a dark advertisement, the brightness adjusts very slightly most of the time. Thats all well and good but the annoying thing is that it does it in steps causing quick blinks of the backlight. Its most pronounced at medium brightness. The same "blinking" happen when autobrightness wants to set the brightness to a very low level . It does it in very discrete steps and it takes a long time for the brightness to settle to its minimum.
If i set my brightness to 50% (most prevalent when the slider is under the "t" in brightness) I get a VERY subtle, but constant pulsating of the backlight. Again, Its a very subtle but my eyes pick it up regardless and its distracting as hell. I wouldn't mind it if autobrightness didn't hit this brightness level, but it does sometimes indoors. The effect is best seen on a mixed white and color screen, like a homescreen with a white widget and most websites. If the brightness goes a bit above or below this level, the pulsing goes away . Anyone else seeing this? maybe it happens at a different brightnesses on different screens.
Thanks
I noticed this when watching a video today. Maybe it only happens if you have autobrightness on?
Sent from my HTC One
It happens with autobrightness off for me. I actually tested it a bit more. I happens on a variety of backlight settings depending on what's on the screen.
At approx. 33% brightness (im using an app called screen adjuster to set the system brightness to a specific value), the screen does heavy pulsating on an all white image. For example, if I go to "about:blank" in the web browser. I can be seen on a desktop screen with a white widget or the settings menu.
Same thing at 40. Worst is 33% though. I have a feeling its dynamic contrast going haywire at certain brightnesses. If you turn the screen off then on, it doesnt do it for a second or 2, but then it will start. I haven't been able to find a demo unit anywhere around me to test this out. So if someone can check this on their device, I would appreciate it. Please use Screen Adjuster to get a definitive reading on the brightness. (Use the slider in "system brightness" to set it to a specific brightbess) and go to "about:blank" in the default browser
hi..
i had the widget set on the third setting, the fourth being the brightest. i had the same problem with my first phone and thought at the time it may have been a backlight problem? or power flow problem? i sent that phone back and the next phone did the same? after posting on here.. i removed the widget and manually adjusted the brightness. i like the screen quite bright, manual adjustment cleared the problem for me. i gotta say yep the flicker was more visible on screens with alot of white, google, facebook, texts? and way way annoying! i can only suggest you try the same as i did? perhaps it is just a quirk with the htc? or maybe the os? you never know, when the update to keylime or whatever it is called comes out the flicker may go totally?
JUST had this on facebook? hope it helps?

Thanks for the response. I ended up looking at 4 more devices at 2 different stores and they all had the flicker. The sales associates even saw it. I got tired of doing exchanges and I ended up reversing my upgrade. Im going to wait and see what happens with this issue. Hopefully it gets sorted out with a firmware update, because otherwise its an awesome phone. Its a shame that the $100 trade-in offer is going to end by then and I wont be getting a free medialink device, but atleast i'd be able to get it in black, which is what I originally wanted.
Ive noticed this too and its really annoying me. Ive tried multiple roms including the new asop carbon rom and its even on that.

In addition to the phones I exchanged, every display model that I've come across has had it. I'm was a bit surprised at first that not many people have come across this. I'm starting to think that maybe the One has a PWM backlighting, which some folks are sensitive to and some don't even notice. I'm in the former category and I think you are too. It a shame really that this problem exist. Besides that, I couldn't find any other faults with the phone. It was perfect in every other aspect
I've run Into the same exact behavior using the HTC droid DNA with both sense 4+ and sense 5 ROMs. I smell tomfoolery afoot.
Screen Flicker
I'm glad I'm not the only one that has noticed this. It doesn't stay that way very long for me, but it is quite annoying. Seems to happen when there's a white or light-colored background the most. So I guess there's nothing specifically wrong with my phone and we'll either have to live with it or wait until someone figures out how to fix it?
I guess most people don't notice this.m it's extremely irrational going between this and my tablet and having the black.ighting flashing in my face when I scroll through webpages.
-12/7/15 Update -
LG's online chat feature was of no help either. I was told to utilize autobrightness, turn off battery saver, and factory data reset phone. No other options were given except to exchange the device. 3 years these phones have auto dimming problems, and 3 years no answers.
love this phone, but experiencing a strange screen brightness issue.
i do not use auto brightness. Any time i ever put my brightness over 50%, the screen dims itself 5 seconds after unlocking.
but when it's at exactly 50%, it does not dim.
Can anybody help me with this? 50% is bright enough but would like to have it higher without watching it dim like 5%.
anybody? I've had 2 v10's now thru AT&T, i don't know why I'm the only one having this problem
Same
Go to settings, display, brightness.
Make sure the auto brightness box is unchecked.

As it said in my original post, I do not use auto brightness.
Guys, this has been an issue with the G3 as well as the G4. There is simply no way that this is not some sort of widespread issue that everyone else thinks is normal.
Is there some way to override the auto dim? Why is LG the only company that seems to struggle with this feature?

I get that you said that.
But there's two ways to turn it on and off.
And there could be a fault with the pull down menu one.
Or the other way around.
It's a suggested thought, to give a try.

It doesn't work. Nothing seems to work. Lux brightness doesn't even work.
Is your phone rooted?
What is your Screen Timeout set to? Maybe its only set for 10 or 15 seconds so when you unlock the screen the timer thinks its ready to start turning off the screen due to no activity. Just a suggestion.

It's not just your phone or LG that's having that problem and I know this is a older thread but I have a ZTE zMAX Pro and every now and then mines dims after I unlock it. Very annoying because I don't even know what it is that makes it stop doing it. I press in on the screen and sometimes it comes in but I don't know what that's about. And it hasn't always done that it just started the last couple of days.
Use Yet Another Auto Brightness aka YAAB, set max and min brightness both to 50%, start the service and you're all set
Hello smart people! I just got the phone yesterday, super excited about the custom roms! My question the scrren keeps dimming while im using the device. It not only just dims but it acts like it tries to go to sleep, While im using it! It wont Reconize any touch, till i kinda wake it up. It does this multiple times a day. My brightness is set to auto, figured it might help with the battery drain, but other than that i'm not sure what setting I ticked to get it todo this.
BTW: I'm not rooted, nothing weird on this device, just apps

Auto brightness will definitely help with battery drain, but probably not in the way you're thinking. Pretty sure turning off auto brightness will help with the fading, but we'll need more info as far as diagnosing your lack of responsiveness to touch.
What (if any) case do you use/do you have a screen protector of some sort? Is it when you are outside in the freezing weather that you notice a lack of sensitivity in your touchscreen? Do you have any "battery saving" apps that you're currently running?
I didn't think about the battery saving apps causing this
Do you have Paypal installed? If so, uninstall it
Auto birghtness on LG phones is terrible. Try installing Lux Auto Brightness on the store, it's a lot better. Also, you can set your screen off time in the settings higher, it's probably set to stock of 30 seconds
Lux is what I use.
