does this happen to you?
i was playing on my tablet then the screen turn soooo dark
like as if the bright setting is turn all the way down.
i can hardly see to operate, i press the power button then again to login.
but when i check the setting it appear untouch
even after turning off auto brightness.
Mine kinda does this... mine just goes super dark, but i usually just touch the screen or the power button and it brightens back up, just like a laptop getting ready to go into sleep or hibernate mode.
It happens again after I set timeout tok 30 m3inutes
It could be bad lcd, I could not see a thing.
That would suck if it is a bad LCD, but at least it would be under warranty!
This happened to me, I think it is because I had brightness at maximum... I turned the brightness slightly down and it has happened again. But maybe that's just me?

It has a light sensor and auto-adjust capability. I've notice as I move around with mine or change how room light hits it will darken or brighten. Doesn't bother me enough to go looking for some settings to disable it, but there should be some there.
I have the same problem too... everytime I turn off the screen using the power button then turn on again the screen turn very dark when the setting is set to auto brightness... it is very annoying while doing something on the S and went away from a while then come back to use it the brightness is totally so dim...
I'm sorry to say but you guys have a defective unit. Just switch it in right away.
turn off auto brightness.
I contact newegg yesterday but no reply yet.
edit: i call them via phone got my shipping label.
Turning off auto brightness doesnt help, but tuning down the brightness from max down slightly I havent had the issue.
If it happens again ill have to send this back, I feel bad loosing the official siony screen cover.
Byt loosing $30 is better than five ninty-nine us dollars.

The issue describedhappened to my first one which is why I know it. Just re turn it. Its not normal behavior.
It is the Android problem, not Sony. Unless you change OS....

my xperia x10 2.3.3 fw and before that doesn't bug me this much.
if all 3.2 fw tablet does it then i would blames on 3x
go ahead turn on your auto brightness and browse the net in a well lid room.
I have one that is doing the same thing. Also every now and then the screen shuts off and I cant get it to come back on for awhile unless I hold power for like 30 sec. Is this a defective tablet or honeycomb 3.2? Thanks!
I'm telling you guys, I sell the things andI KNOW the issue they are taking about. We played with the settings all day and it kept happening but the issue NEVER happened to any of the other units. It's most likely a defective unit because as I said, it only happened to the one unit.

i think they are not available in Europe yet - so you should be able to sell the cover easily if you ship internationally

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.
Can this annoying "feature" be turned if, and if so, how?

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!

I've been using the app gravity screen because I like the feature of it turning the screen on when I take it out my pocket.
Or LG can put the face detection back in the software!

My phone's backlight would over-adjust way too much even with auto-brightness off.
I downloaded Lux off the playstore at the advice of a member in the Q&A thread. Haven't had a problem since

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

Is it not because your battery level was too low (under 15 %) and a battery economy setting was used ? Just check your power settings in android settings...

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

So recently I've been using snap chat a bit often and I noticed after maybe 10 minutes of in and out on the app when I went to my home screen there was a screen burn in of my keyboard and the general GUI. Now I fixed it using an app that flashes colors to correct the issue, but still the screen burn in keeps coming back often and its noticeable.
Just wondering if anyone else has had issues with this. Sure I've heard of TV's with a static image for over a long duration having screen burn in, but 10 minutes on an app while brightness is at 0. Seems kinda ridiculous

Is anyone else noticing that you can see ghost images behind every screen?
Is there a fix for this?
TIA

It is called screen burn, there is a thread dedicated to this problem. Search for screen burn on this forum!
I'll check that out but how could it happen and this is the 3rd one I've had and they all did it. That's why i assumed it had something to do with the screen overlay.

life is this with V10, all have the same issue...mine only have 9 months since i buy it and have ghost images since 2 months from today and no solution...the only solution is send it to LG Repair Center and they change it, but mine lose the guarantee when i unlocked the bootloader so...i will not buy the screen since this is a known problem with V10 display.
better keep it going cool and avoid high levels of brightness only when is needed and avoid playing games since that warm up the phone and the screen will show ghost images. Then when it happens lock your phone, shut down the screen for 3/4 minutes and the ghost is gone...you need to do it everytime you see a ghost image and have trouble with them.
i dont bother with that...i love the phone anyway, when the screen die by itself i change it for another, but now let it rock even with ghost images.
Sofwtare side has nothing (mod or app) that can fix your problem...its the display problem (hardware).
Mine has heavy permanent ghosting that appears after minutes of use when the phone has rested overnight. Though I can prevent any ghosting from becoming visible by installing "Bluelight Filter for Eye Care" and set the filter to the black color with an opacity of just 3% (hardly even affects the maximum brightness). Stopping the display from showing the whitest of colors prevents the ghosting to apperar no matter how high brightness you have or for how long. At least on my unit. So now my screen is permanently perfect instead.

Thank you. I'll give that a try. Mine isn't that bad and sometimes doesn't show at all.

I had just did a factory reset and it's actually gone this time. I'm sure it will come back though.
I've been using v10 for a year now this image retention/ ghosting is really annoying but there's actually a solution to it by using screen filter.
if you apply the filter as soon as you turn on your phone after a while, when there are no temporary burns on screen. They won't come back if you keep the filter on.
I use blue light filter but I'm sure every filter will work even if you keep the filter at low opacity for example at 20%, it'll still work.
Give it a try.
and one more thing if the filter is on you might get an error while giving permissions to apps. so you have to turn off the filter when you get "screen overlay detected" error.
sometimes the indisplay Fingerprint sensor stops working at all.
The display wont recognize any touch and stays black.
If i push the Power button it starts working again.
This happens sporadically, 1 -3x a day
Did anyone had the same Problem?
Any suggestions?

I haven't seen this problem. I use face unlock along with it and it usually recognizes my face before I can even scan it.
When the screen is black, you can put your finger on the display and some glowing circle Appears. This does not appear to me at all. The screen just stays Black.
Thx for the information.

Maybe your fingerprints got erased somehow? Does your phone display a fingerpring icon on the screen a second after you turn the screen off?
Sent from my LYA-L29 using XDA Labs
Yes the second I turn if off it shows a fingerprint sensor. Just after a while it won't toggle the sensor if I touch the display. It's like the fingerprint sensor is deactivated. The second I turn the display on manually it appears again.
Hello! I've got the p20 pro and now I'm testing mate 20 pro. Sometimes I'm not able to unlock the mate with my fingerprints at all. Same finger. The p20 works perfect, just touch and unlock. Mate sometimes I have to touch it 3-4 times before it unlocks , sometimes it doesn't unlock at all? Is that normal? The display was exchanged already because of this issue.
I believe you guys are not the only one. This on screen finger print is not reliable. I guess because they are new and will improve over time. Personally I just use face recognition than finger print. They are a lot more faster and accurate to unlock.
I know it's an old thread but it's happening to my M20Pro right now! It's awful! The screen is protected by a tempered glass made by Spigen (maybe this glass has issues?). I reconfigured the fingerprint and I touched almost 50 times until the phone captured the fingerprint! What's wrong with that sensor?!
I had problems with glass protector, if you can get plastic film it is fine, glass you will have problems....this was my finding

If you still have this phone and problem: I have a P30 Pro, and/but the reason I write here is because our phones share the fingerprint technology, and I didn't find anyone mentioning this problem regarding P30 Pro. So:
I have the same problem - seemingly sporadically the fingerprint sensor (or screen) wont react until I press the power button. Then I noticed that when the brightness/proximity sensor (located near the top right on the P30 Pro, and next (right) to the upper speaker on Mate 20 Pro) was covered, the screen would get unresponsive. I guess this is by design, to not accidently let your phone come to life in your pocket. The problem was/is that the proximity (?) sensor is way too sensitive - any obstruction at about 2 cm (0.8") above the sensor(s) will trigger this behaviour. I also think it can be triggered under other circumstances; I had som weird fingerprint/screen behaviour in a store with a high and very dark ceiling, but I have to test this again, so don't take my word for it.
Anyway - if anyone is having sporadic problems - see if this could be a reason.
Edit: Well, sometimes my screen is just totally unresponsive even without sensors blocked, so ... I noticed it a couple of times after digging my phone out of my pocket, suggesting it could still have something to do with the sensors turning the screen (functions) off. I'll try to see if I can make it behave the same way in other scenarios.
I have also been experiencing similar problems on my mate 20 pro, But mine is more of an accuracy problem. sometimes its on point and registers instantly. and other times it just doesnt at all.
However i have noticed that in extremely bright weather i have more issues, fingerprint doesnt read at all, and face ID is also doesn't. My finger print issues have started only after EMUI 10.1, so i suspect that it could possibly be a software related issue
