Well i am calling it a possible fix as i am still testing it. I am talking about the full brightness issue that many others are facing too. The issue was the brightness would still vary automatically depending on the ambient light even when the auto brightness was switched off. So when you are in a dark room even if you wanted you could not turn the brightness to 100%. Initially when i just bought the phone for few days i felt the screen looked a little less brighter compared to how it looked in the showroom, so when i searched for it found out that so many of them out there have the same issue. You can just test it by switching off the auto brightness and keeping the brightness to 100% in a dark room and when you project a flash light or some light source on the sensor next to the ear piece the screen would get brighter and when you take off that light the screen would again become a little dimmer. I for a second thought it could be some kind of feature as well. But what ever that was i dint like it as could not pump up the brightness in a dark room to its full capacity even if i wanted it. And thats such a shame for such a beautiful display.
So i first wanted to flash some custom ROMs and see if that makes any difference. First i flashed a custom rom from the S6E android development section but the issue still persisted and after a day's observation i again flashed a ROM today from the s-6--s-6-edge-unified-development thread and after flashing the ROM i went in to settings-accessibility-vision-colour adjustment and switched it on, since then the brightness varied just once right after the colour adjustment was switched on but now i am continuously able to pop up the brightness to 100% even in the low light area and seems like the issue has been fixed !! I have been observing it for the last 3 to 4 hours.
So who ever has this issue can try this out and let me know if it worked. I would not say the ROM installation is a must, first try turning on the colour adjustment under settings-accessibility-vision-colour adjustment and if it doesnt work then try flashing the ROM and again doing the colour adjustment and let me know if it worked for you !! But after what ever changes you make do a reboot and give it an hour or so.
EDIT : As i was still testing it unfortunately the bug showed up again so i finally decided to flash an S6 ROM ( Not S6 edge) on to my S6E and to my surprise the issue was solved !! Now i can confirm that its just a software bug and hopefully samsung will fix it !! If any one wants to try flashing a flat S6 ROM let me know i will leave a link here with the kernel to be flashed. Hopefully this helped !!
I will test it..thanks for this
Can somebody confirm this as a possible solution to the bug?

Ok so unfortunately samsung still has to work to solve it. I start to think it's really a serious issue if after 2 months there is still no solution. Samsung addressed the issue about the toggles desappeared almost immediately because it was probably really easy to solve...

I'm surprised not everyone is using lux. Just get the app and be done with it..

Must be a feature then, or some other reason Sammy did this.
On a side note, why worry about this? It's not a practical issue, is it?

I'm surprise so many people still recommend Lux app when it is useless for this issue. The issue is that the phone always has some autobrightness turned on even when we set it to be off. Even when you set Max brightness in Lux app, it's still only Max what the phone will do without Lux. Therefore, for those that want super bright all the time, Lux is useless.

Let's say that it is a really annoying issue in darken places because the brightness is too low. Try to compare the s6 edge with any other phone (s6 flat for example) and you will see how the issue is annoying! It is surely not a feature because the s6 flat doesn't do that. Moreover samsung admitted it is an issue (I have spoken with them several times), the funny thing is that after 2 months it is not solved yet.

What? That's not the problem OP is talking about? Brightness too low in dark places? No one has this problem, and if they did, a 3rd party app like lux would have fixed the issue.
Lux does not fix the issue. Many tried. I tried. I set Max brightness using Lux and its not as bright as it could be. You could try for yourself, turn off auto brightness, manually set Max brightness in both settings and Lux, go to a dark place and shine a flashlight on the light sensor. Screen will become brighter.
Then you'll understand that Max brightness does not work with setting and with Lux. Then you'll be enlightened... but then you can also choose not to try this and go on with your life as ignorance is bliss. When something doesn't work, most people call it a bug while some people choose to call it a feature

I thought the extra boost to brightness was a feature and helped battery?
Set to a certain maximum, on bright light situations (outside in sunlight, maglight on sensor) the display will boost to an unnatural brightness to aid visibility. On return to inside light levels the phone returns to normal.

It's not a feature its a bug. Every s6 edge has this issue . Maybe not everyone realized as you for example but it's for all s6 edge.
You can see it clearly comparing in a dark place a s6 flat and a s6 edge. The flat is way brighter than the edge so this is clearly a bug

Impractical? I always thought being able to control my screens brightness was fairly practical!
Surely the point of manual brightness is to be able to control it manually?

I also think this is more of a "feature" then a bug.
It originally was a bug before the maintenance update because the screen would not dim to 50% brightness before timing out completely. Unless the screen was in the (what im calling) super bright mode.
Since the maintenance update the screen will now dim to 50% before timing out altogether.
But we still see the screen go into super bright mode in very well lit areas (ie direct sun) When i look at the screen in this mode though i notice the colors dont look real. Which leads me to believe that this is more of a feature to ramp up the screens brightness when you are in situations that might make the screen hard to see (ie direct sunlight)
Its just too damn bright !! Mine seems to get stuck at higher levels and doesnt automatically dim, unless the change is quite dramatic (like dark room). I have to manually tick auto brighness off then on to make it work again.
I have tried using lux and it seems to be working perfectly so i am guessing its a software issue from LG side.
Anyone else having similar issues ?
Yea, it's too bright
I completely agree with you. Mine always seems to default to 61% which is too bright in normal light (45% is ideal for me). It would be nice if you could set the baseline "auto" brightness level and let the sensor adjust from there.

Well i have done some research and seems like an app called ''Content adaptive backlight'' is the cause of issue. Seems like LG have managed to produce the same issue that plagued G2. I really hope they fix it in future patches.

same here ... is there another way to fix it ? besides waiting ?

I have compared G5 MM rom to my G3 and there seems to be no Content adaptive brightness app on my G3 and because of that there is no auto brightness issue on my G3.
I have done more research and there are quite a few latest phone (6p, S7 ) affected by this issue where either brightness is either too low or high.
Only solution is to either get a custom rom or get an update from carrier/manufacture.
I noticed this as well.. I am sure it will eventually get corrected via software.
Chiming in to say same issue here. Doesn't really bother me tho.
Same boat its too bright or dark and when battery saver kicks in you cant see the screen at all.
Agreed. Too bright, except in very low lighting - then too dim. Hopefully software update will fix this up.
also agree! Way to dim in dark room, haven't noticed to bright yet but then I am old and need the extra ummpphhh to see!!! lol
It would be nice if LG could add low and high limits to the auto-brightness.. I think that would fix the problem.
Does everyone use auto-brightness? Does it seem to help with battery life?
So the issue occurs since April and hasn't been fixed yet. I just received my G5 and have the same issue. It annoys me a lot and when I see that LG didn't fix it yet, I am wondering whether they ever will do that.
I have noticed it getting stuck, unchecking it and checking it again sorts it out for a while
Recently, in all camera apps my G5's auto focus doesn't work properly and keeps the scene blurry. It sometimes works for a second and then turns back blurry. The manual focus used to be able to work but now, it doesn't change anything. Any tips?
Sounds like a possible hardware issue. Have you dropped or done anything to the phone ?

Dude make only 1 thread for your problems. No need for 2.
It's image retention. I have it too but it's not a big deal. It's not permanent.
As for GPS, try rebooting your phone, or if you use a case, try without it, maybe the case is blocking the compass.

You can fix it unless you go get this fixed. if you're still in warranty, try to get it replaced.
Does backlight bleed really annoy you??? it's only visible in the dark at high brightness...

:laugh::laugh::laugh: you can try it. image retention can be solved with a blue light filter, light bleeding can only be fixed by replacing the screen. Both are common issues though with IPS LCD screens. (Notebook has it, tablet has it and phone as well)
The only thing I would really be bothered with is GPS. This made me send my G5 to LG and hopefully getting it fixed now.

Yes , BLF does solve omage retention. With that in mind, if you are rooted, use CF.Lumen, it works much better.

I had it pretty bad especially with Google maps. The only thing I can really recommend is using cf lumen and there use a color temperature of 6200k in root mode.

You can even make the temperature back to 6600k and just change the shade to 0.102, this would solve the image retention permanently, i never had any image retention ever since.
I don't have image retention neither using blue light filter.

I've noticed that since the update to Nougat, sometimes CF.Lumen doesn't work and I need to run the app manually. Have you experienced it?
With blue screen filter from sisco mobile I still get image retention at software buttons.
I have it at 15% black color.
At the top image retention disappeared but a matter bottom no..

guys who are dealing with screen burn issues.
i use the app called "Screen Burn-in Tool" by BLASTERBYTE.
Set the app to run at a time you know your gonna be sleep. let it run over night. in the morning disable the app and the burn should be gone. i do this almost every week. and its been fine

Yes i know, it wasnt meant as a permanent solution, which is why i mentioned i have to keep doing it every so often. but it does get rid of it for a few days for me.
Nobody but a few owners complained about "adaptive brightness" bug , issue or whatever is it !
Is this a randomly issue or is a general problem ? To me is a very annoying problem so I'm thinking to sell my phone only due to this . Several updates received didn't solved this bug so I'm thinking next major update to A12 won't solve it as well . More then that it seems OnePlus 9 , 8, 8T and Nord series have problems with "adaptive brightness" wich meening a well done display brightness in sun light but indoor or poor light brightness is dimming under absolutely low suported values .
What can I do , I'm very frustrated !!!
How is yours ? Works well ?
No problem here, auto brightness is working fine in low light / medium light conditions.
The only complaint is the very placement of the ambient light sensor and proximity sensor (upper right corner) , when I bought a new bumper case to replace the original one provided in the box I noticed a lot of dust was accumulating between the bumper and where the sensors are in the corner of the screen, resulting in lot of issues with auto-brightness and pocket detection . Now I have a very thin protective case with a better cut and I didn't had a single issue since then.
Same problem here. Every evening when it gets dark, the sensor doesn't work properly on auto brightness.
For now, only solution is the app ''Velis auto brightness'' from the Play store. With this app the sensor works fine. I reported this bug 3 times but no solution in the updates for now.
I know , I used Velis for a time but Isn't correct , common sense to use a third party apk for solve bugs phones . Since December I found only you claimed this issue but rest of owners ?
Seems to be only us ? Now I'm going to think this problem affect only a few phones !?
Hmm - I have kind of the opposite issue, not a bug though.
For my liking - and compared to my old Mi Note 5, the screen could be more dim.
Id there a way to tell the phone to tune brighteness in general lower in adaptive mode? Also for the sake of battery life...

Yes , the problem persist although there was an major update but is diminished . It's not a big issue , now . Still exist !!!
