So guys, ive noticed my dialer lights up at random when I'm on speakerphone even when I have the screen turned off.
Derp: just had a thought, I wonder if its emails coming in trigger a notification and lighting the screen up?
would be strange though since I have it set to only notify once.

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....
Hi,
So i see this light in front , of the phone , on the top in this video at 5.09 min
http://youtu.be/_1gfr8vu4PM?t=5m
and think i seen this in a video on Pocketnow for a short time too ?
So i know there is no Notification Light normally in the front , but
what´s we seen here ?
It's the proximity-sensor. It emits infra-red light that reflects from your cheek when having it up against your ear. This turns off the screen.
The SGS2 has no notification light. Only camera's can pick up the infra-red light, that's what you saw. In some occasions I have seen it with my bare eyes. Very weird though.
Edit: I remember when I saw it. There is a lockscreen app that allows you to unlock the phone using 'The Force'. When you turn on the screen, the proximity sensor lights up at full-power, making you able to see it I guess. Then when moving your hand over your phone in Jedi fashion, it unlocks the screen.
Ok Thanks for your answer
Anyone know why the SGS3 screen lights up on its own. l leave the phone on the table when lm working and the screen would suddenly light up for no reason, making me think that l have a text message or something. Is this a problem for anyone elese? if so can it be stopped?
Turn off Smartstay and the automatic brightness.
I just got my LG G Watch yesterday, and I noticed last night when you leave it with the "always on" option where it dims the screen way down, that in the dark I can see the screen flickering. I tried all the different brightness levels in Settings to see if that would change it, but does not. Can anyone else confirm this? You'll have to get in pitch black environment to see this.
Also, is there a way to turn off the "shake n wake", where it turns the screen on from motion? I tend to sleep with a watch on, and noticed this watch is very sensitive to (or that I flop around like a fish when I sleep.. that's possible too) motion, and I'd rather be able to set it in "touch to wake" mode.

I haven't noticed any flickering on mine, but I may just not be as sensitive to it. You can disable the 'wake by motion' function by muting the watch. (Pull down from the top of the screen)

Thanks for the tip on muting to stop the motion sensor from activating the watch. I find it very sensitive and just sitting at my desk working tends to make it constantly wake up. Muting also turns off vibration so I miss when a notification comes to the watch. Maybe in an OS update or possibly a Developer will enhance the settings so you can still get vibration alerts, but turn off motion wake.
Hello!
Can you guys test the auto-brightness in dark environments?
My screen flickers shortly before the auto-brightness function find the best brightness.
Unfortunately, I can´t make a video, because this is the only phone I have.
The screen don´t flicker everytime, only when the auto-brightness go under 20% and stops shortly before.
Is it a hardware issue, the new update or the software total. I have the S9+ since yesterday.
Do you have the "black crush" issue also?
I just tried it with mine, turning lights on and, off in a room with no windows (so completely dark when the lights are off). I don't notice an flicker on mine. The screen gradually reduces brightness, but seems to settle at the low level without any flicker.
Thanks for the replies.
I don´t have the balck crush problem. I tested it in Netflix.
The only problem is the flickering in auto-brightness mode under 10-20%.
It seems, the S9 Plus want to calibrate the brightness and after a few seconds the backlight don´t fllickers.
I tried to find a video in youtube, I can find 1-2 similar videos but not the exactly problem.
