I've search for both "screen" and "brightness" without any results.
Is there anything we can do about the brightness of the screen? It's very low, even if you have it on max. Is it a hardware or software issue?
I've seen a lot of reporst of bad screen brightness, but can't say I've ever experienced a problem. I had more issues with my HTC desire, I could barely see it outside on a cloudy day. The XP I can see fine most of the time.
What are you using to turn the brightness up/down? There is a widget to turn it up and down, but it only makes it go up to 175 (iirc). I use power manager. This changes my brightness depending on different scenarios. Similar to juice defender type things but a lot more basic. The best part of it is the screen timeout and brightness settings.

oh cool, will check that out
Thanks,but don't disable sensor :-(
Brightness don't change :-(
That's one of my problem also, the poor brightness of our phone, At first I thought there is an app to increase it, but there's none..
When im using it under the sun, I cant really see what I'm doing to my phone especially when there's my finger print all over my screen, so i always bring my cleaning cloth.
Yeah i have tried every app out there in hopes one would work but that sensor just has to much control i guess.
Hopefully someone will figure it out eventually.
I guess some people are not bothered by it at all so possibly the people who would know how to fix it just dont care enough to.
On the R800x, there is no auto-brightness to enable. It is all manual. 100% seems to be bright enough to read stuff outside in the sun. I don't know that there would be a way to push it even brighter.
A number of people have been claiming that if you remove the pre-installed screen protector it becomes a lot brighter. Maybe that might help you if you are willing to risk the screen scratches.

Yeah by removing the protector the screen becomes much more brighter.. The toughened glass seems to be holding up quite fine though.
For a short 30 seconds experience with factory superglued protector, all I can say is remove it. Much better light sensor response, better contrast and much much much better finger swipeability on the mineral glass under the plastic protector...
Also now as I have phone, I'll see how to disable LS.

I was talking to Doomlord the other day about this, the ALS seems to be part of the kernel. The exact location of the sensor parameters is /sys/devices/i2c-0/0-0040/leds/lcd-backlight/als. You can edit those parameters but nothing sticks on save/exit.
If you want to see how crazy the ALS is, fire up logcat in adb and watch what happens when you pull the phone away from a bright light source.
The only problem is some people love the ALS, and some people hate it. I'm in the hate it camp. I'd rather be able to adjust full brightness manually. It would peg the CPU a lot less too in certain lighting conditions, actually improving performance.
To that end, wondering if there is some kind of kernel extension or module that can be flashed, or if it has to be the whole modified kernel that is replaced.

I found it in kernel. I'll publish it today. Stable, OC, and light sensor will be separated as module.
Everyone who likes it, will have it automatically on, and who don't can remove module from /system/lib/modules.

Problem: lightsensor and proximity are one device with one driver. So it'll have to be disabled in hw_config.sh

I tried to solve it through editing the hw_config file, but had the same problem of results not sticking/working correctly. Enable would switch to 0 for a limited time before switching back to 1, and definitely after a boot, but still seemed to be functional and operating as if it was enabled, i.e. the functionality appeared to happen more slowly than rapidly on the fly. Also, the 254 variable never stuck at all, so that test failed, heh.

Because some people still like it, so I can't disable it for everyone.
Now this is where problem starts: no LS config in hw_config so I can't manage power modes like on older Xperias.

I would imagine we could alter the settings.apk framework to include a checkbox to enable/disable Automatic mode for light sensor, and if off, revert to manual change. Is this a correct assumption? It might be easier for the end user than enabling and disabling a module at terminal prompt or yanking things from the system image or (heaven forbid) the running OS. It would certainly involve a bit more work, to be sure. However, could also just alter the framework to run insmod commands through BusyBox so that we can insert and remove modules. *shrugs* Just thoughts, not mandates. ^_^

Hello Blagus're really good, really compliments for the work you do for us now;-) I think that you release the modified kernel for the brightness?
Appearance? I would be happy and I think many users.

I was very excited by the Smart Stay feature of SGSIII but after a few days, experience, my opinion is that it does not work. I set the timeout to 15 sec. The eye flashes in the notification bar but most of the time screen is turned off. I tried staring directly at the front camera. Tried various positions too but no result. And all this is done in a normal lit room. Then I tried removing my specs and then it seems to work. Since I can't do much without them, so no fixed observation. Can anybody help?

Any particular setting? Or particular angle at which you keep your phone? Mine for sure does not work. The eye flashes but then the screen is also turned off.
I have the same issue too. Does anyone know the issue and how to overcome it? Thanks
I get mixed results with it. It works under ideal conditions but I had to extend the dim period to use it in everyday use.
The icon appears to show that the phone is checking for a face and not confirming it saw one. I see it flash even when looking from an angle where I'm definitely out of the camera frame.

Me and a friend we bought s3 and both of us having an issue with smart stay !It works after you open the device for the 15-30 minutes and after that nothing,after the eye appears the screen goes off!We are not wearing glasses!!So any idea what cause that?A possible bug of it?Or any future update will fix it?
you guys running on XXfl2 or whatever it is?
smart stay works really well for me, never has an issue, even at acute angles
It never works for me.
Then again... I'm way to ugly for my phone to stay with me.
Smartphone's R getting to smart I guess.
Works great for me too...
Samsung already stated they are working on improving the feature as it is not yet capable of handling some light conditions, and most glasses.
Sent from my DROIDX
Works fine for me with glasses, as long as the phone's front camera is pointing right at me.
The flashing eye means its searching for a face; the only indication that it has recognised you is that the screen doesn't turn off.
Same issue!
Yup, facing the same problem. Keep staring at the screen for hours for the damn thing to work. But it just wont. I have tried with my glasses off. Got the same result. The eye appears on the screen twice. The first time it dims the screen, the second time it shuts it off. I have tried different angles, but have finally resigned to my fate, unless XDA/Sammy figure it out!
not working for me 2
I am not wearing any glasses but it simply dont wok tried to change the angels but no luck ... hope it need improvement. This was the main reason to purchase the s3 but....
Mine works quite well, feels like its abit of a battery drain though.

It needs to be a nice distance from your face to pick up your eyes, light is an issue too.
Its a nice feature that has some obvious issues on a 1.X MP camera.

Samsung patented this feature so i guess the app dev is in a bit of danger unless he is not really rich.
Other apps wont be as good either, as smart stay was made with this hardware in mind (namely the camera). Others will have to bend and shape to fit multiple cameras, making detection algorithms not as strong.

Recently my Neo has developed this problem where the screen is dimmer, it occurred when I had to replace my touchscreen as I broke it when I removed it whilst I was trying to remove some sand... Anyway it just makes my screen really hard to read in the sun light, I just find it odd though as it obviously sounds like a hardware issue due to the likely cause of the problem and the fact that I've reinstalled my phones firmware many times to no effect. Also that seems to be the only problem other than what should be a white background being a slightly creamy colour but again it's odd cause it doesn't do that in many. I was wondering if anyone has any suggestions or have experienced any similar problems though I can't afford to dismantle my phone many more times as the screw heads are wearing away. Also before you suggest I have already tried numerous Disable Auto Brightness apps to no effect.
Thanks in advance for any help or suggestions.
Also I forgot to mention that the contrast is perfect still if not sharper.
I'm 100% sure that's hardware issue...
Did you replace your touchscreen by yourself or went to sony for replacement?
If you replaced it by yourself your warranty is voided and only solution is phone disassemly again, but if sony replaced your touchscreen go to them and explain them your problem
Ok thanks, but wouldn't there be visible wear if the LCD screen was damaged so is it possible it's a loose connection? I mean the brightness literally is the only problem.
Also I replaced the screen myself and I knew I was voiding the warranty, though quick question, how can they tell I've opened my phone?
One last final question, at the moment it's almost bearable so would it be worth just leaving as it is or is there a possibility of it suddenly dying on me?
Thanks again

if you are on official GB based roms this patch will increase the current in your lcd and increase your brightness to its highest possible also disables the auto brightness
remember it can cause hardware failure too so use it on your own risk
i used it before there were no problems
remeber to backup first

try to ask ThilinaC to port it for you and add it to add-ons
Ok well when I have the time I'll backup and give it a try , though I may also see what values he changed in the files and just do that instead. However it will probably just be which ever I feel like though .

Whenever I'm reading something on my phone, if I don't touch the screen for 5 seconds the brightness decreases to unreadable level regardless of the original brightness setting.

Increase your display timeout. The screen dims just before powering off (5 seconds, I think After playing with it a bit, I think the time for dimming is based on a percentage of time until the screen powers off, as the time between dimming and screen off seemed longer when I raised the timeout value. I have not actually timed it). If you increase your display timeout, it seems to put off the dimming as well. This setting can be found under "Basic Settings" on the "Display" tab of the built in system "Settings" app.
Alternatively, an app like Screebl may work for this, though I haven't tested it.

I have my screen timeout set to 30 seconds and it dims after just 5 sec.
Is it not odd though that the phone itself doesn't have a setting to defeat this?
Why stop at 30 seconds? I set mine at 15 minutes. If you don't want it dim on itself, turn off the auto brightness.
Screebl works great! Have used it since my original droid incredible and it has always worked great! One of the first apps I install on a new phone!

What you're asking for is the smart screen feature that defects when you're looking at it. LG had it on the G3 and I don't remember for sure but i think it was on the G2. I don't know about the G4. For some reason they took it away from the V10. I'm a little upset about that. Hopefully they realize the mistake and bring it back.

I know this thread is old af but unlike everyone else that has posted I completely understand what you mean. I just restored from a android backup...everything is great, except now my screen dims after 5 sec then turns off after another 5 sec. It doesn't matter what you have the screen duration set to, or if auto brightness is enabled or not. You can set screen on for 20 min...it dims after 5 then shuts off. Period. Theres no app or setting that will override that. Dunno why mine just started this nonsense but I feel your pain. Hopefully a wipe and clean flash fixes my issue

nope, I have 5 batteries for this thing lol even at 100% it was dimming the screen after 5 seconds. I think initially it was something going wanky with my TWRP backups. I noticed all of a sudden backups I've used multiple times I couldn't use because my screen lock pattern would say incorrect. I've used the same screen pattern since froyo 2.2 on the very first Galaxy S. its not like I forgot it lol so my work around for that was just wipe data and start over. well when I did that my screen would keep shutting off quickly like the op issue. so then I just did a clean install of the 7.0 zips and I kept having the same screen issue. finally after like 5 or 6 total wipes and clean flashes the screen timeout is finally back to normal. just gonna chalk it up to some funky bug issue. I've noticed twrp doesn't do the best job wiping on this device. even after wiping data, cache, davlik etc and clean flashing the 7.0 rom all the tweaks & scripts I altered are still there. so who knows, there isn't enough active users or devs, or even interest in this phone where I'll ever find a solution i assume, but it's working good now so it is what it is. I just know my issue was the exact same 100% as the OP addressed and everyone was acting like he was overlooking some small detail or option. altho I'm not a developer or anything close, I'm far from noob status and just figured I'd let him know that I've experienced the same issue and it was in no way a setting that he missed lol

Interesting description, thanks. Now that you mention this, I also had leftovers after TWRP partition formating on this device.
Indeed, development is minimal, thanks to LG locked bootloaders on the V models... It's a pity, as those are the devices that were interesting for me.

well even with the unlocked bootloader in the T-Mobile variant development is close to flat lining lol but yeah I've had issues with pretty much every version of TWRP leaving artifacts after wiping. It never seemed to be an issue back in the cwm days. too many unofficial builds I guess. but even with this phones issues my two main uses for a phone is a digital audio player for my flac audio files and a camera for my eBay store, both of which this phone is excellent at and the large SD support and extra batteries are a plus. But even now that I got the screen dimming and lock screen issues taken care of with this last flash now I have random force closing of apps that I never had before. it's not bad enough for me to re flash and risk the other issues I just resolved tho. if it persists I might just drop the $200 on a used v20

Hello, recently i sent my phone to warranty because of serious screen burn in issues, they replaced my sceen, which had more light bleeding issues, but i wouldnt mind that, as the burn-ins were gone, but to my surprise, yesterday after about 3hrs of constant on screen texting in whatsapp, the burn-in started appearing on the new screen, i am seriously pissed off, i really like this phone overall with the features it offers and so on, but the quality control... Wtf LG.. I now have bought a phone which i should just send for warranty repairs after a period of time?
Just wanted to share my experience with you, i still have a gpad 8.3 thats is still rolling on the latest 7.1.1 and has no quality issues and a robust metal build whatsoever, but this is just annoying...

I for myself got the screen replaced about 2 month ago having the screen burn issue as well. Phone IME starts with 604. Since the replacement no issue for me so far..but i am not so sure if it the problem is solved with that and the screen burn in starts again after a while again......

Its indeed interesting as it really seems to not appear at the beginning, and once it shows up it starts to get more noticable over time, for example as i said, it occured after heavy using whats app for about 3hrs most of the time with auto brightness sometimes hitting the highest levels, right now i can notice the burn in, but its not at levels where it would become disturbing, ill see how it goes, if it progresses and so on..

...many people has this problem with different LG devices...
... it was recognized at LG G5 phones produced between march and jun. 2016 (see serial number starting with 604 up to 606)...
... there seems to be a new display without ghosting but with a little more power consumption recognized since serial number 609...
... it makes no difference witch country code your device was! all displays could be affected!
...that some users have installed "sFilter BlueLight" app to prevent this issue!
...as some users reports,it is not granted, that this issue never returns on changed displays because it seems to be a general fault...
Maybe that all this informations does not help to solve YOUR problem, but this is a forum for questions and answers ant i thought, that this informations could be helpful to know. But as it looks like,it seems that this will be for other users only!
So if you feel disturbed of me, feel free to set me to first position in top of your ignore list!
and at least: see my signature at 3.!

No, it was not visible for me reading your post, that you have get all informations about LG display issue.
i want to be sure, that you can see, that this is no individual case!

Sorry, but to me the reply seemed non-friendly, as it would be addressed to a rookie user, who hasnt done his research, maybe im wrong about your post...
But overall, yes i have seen all those threads, and unfortunatley, as i have mentioned in some other LCD display threads, the app could basically be a temp fix for the issue, when its not at a disturbing level, as its a cause of a faulty panel.
At this point where my panel has been already replaced, i cant really keep track of its model.

Okay so lets go through this together.
A burn-in only happens with amoleds as this is permanent. We have LCD panels so we have image retention which is non-permanent.
A LCD is a liquid crystal display. Means you have a certain state of the crystals. When you apply a voltage the crystals rearrange themselves and block light. This is why we need a background illumination. Anyway once you use it for a longer period with a semi-static or a static picture (like whatsapp typing bar, google maps info boxes, keyboards etc) the crystals start to shift in their relaxed form towards another state. Blue light is due to its short wavelength energy consuming -> high voltage applied -> faster image retention.
That's why blue light filters do work to some extent. (With cf lumen and root you can adjust to use less blue instead of having an overlay draining additional energy)
This liquid crystal thingie is dependent on a lot of different parameters, that's why some get it faster and some slower. My 1,5k$ thinkpad has the same issue with the navigation bar being a persisting image after 10h+ of browsing.

So this is actually not a warranty issue. LG also returned phones unrepaired as this is the negative side of a lcd and considered standard behaviour. Go for an AMOLED the next time as they can't suffer from this, but once you have image burn-in you will never get rid of it. So doesn't really make a difference.

Thanks for the interesting article on LCD artifacts, however, i wanted to say some things:
As my for my first panel, that got replaced, image retention was pretty hard, as when the phone got warmer, it became really disturbing and barely usable as the keyboard and status bar started to ghost on grey background apps such as xda, the only way was to let it cool down and wait till everything disappears, as soon as i started using my phone a bit longer, the problem resurfaced very quick. So it clearly wasnt a normal reaction. Just to add, no CF.lumen like apps were able to help back then.
My current replaced panel is showing only minor signs of this, it becomes more apparent on longer usage times with the same elements and the ghosting is barely visible with not so intense usage, so i hope that this wont eventually get stronger as before. As it would seem to be a natural usage reaction, i still consider this an issue however, cause none of my previous LCD phone had anything like it, not even my LG Gpad 8.3. So im gonna try to apply warranty again if needed, as repair services seem to be pretty helpful in my country at least, as long as they have spare panels in stock.
And about amoled, i think ill pass that for a while, i have seen enough samsung demo units in stores have serious homescreen burn-ins.
With LG G5 the quality really seems to be an issue, yes there maybe lucky people with good units and so, but overall it is pretty disappointing, as feature and hardware wise i really love this device.

I see the so called expert stopped responding like a retard. I had the same problem I just lgup and flashed stock all over again about 4 times and it started to show improvements. As of now I got rid of the burnt images on my lcd
