AOD brightness keeps changing randomly since updating to 20f - LG V30 Questions & Answers

I dirty flashed 20f from 20a and ever since then AOD keeps randomly changing its brightness. I don't have "brighter display" checked but nonetheless AOD keeps going from dim to bright and back at random intervals. Anybody else has this issue?

Do you have auto brightness on?

I do indeed.
Edit: disabled it and it's still changing brightness randomly, although perhaps less frequently. Wasn't an issue with 20a.

Maybe that also affects the AOD. I don't know. I keep mine on manual, at about 70% -- except for when I first wake up in the morning and I turn it down to like half that the first few minutes I'm awake...

[Q] Screen is always Dim

When I unlock the phone it always starts up very dim and sometimes it turns bright sometimes it doesn't. I have auto-brightness off and I have my brightness set to 100%. I have to move the slider off of 100% and back to 100% to get it that bright. It is very weird. Anybody know how to fix this?
I have the same problem.

Settings > Display > Auto adjust screen power (untick). Try now.
Been unchecked since day 1. Still does it. Possible that I have a defective unit?

Is it dim on the home screen or certain apps? cuz internet browser, video etc got their own brightness settings built in that you have to change from the settings within the app.

It is dim from the lock screen. Everything once I unlock it is dim. If I lock and unlock the phone like 3 times fast it is fine, but it's a pain in the ass. I'll see if I can take a video of it later when I get home.
I know you said "everything" but try to go to internet browser and disable "auto-brightness" under brightness setting.
Also upgrade your firmware to the latest one to see if that help. My Smart detect is not working and after upgraded it work every single time plus the cell stand by is much improved
I just got my phone back from service, they updated to LF5 - so far it has solved my proplems with dim
I have had 2 handsets that do this now. Its really annoying especially when you are outside.
Basically what is happening is that when your screen dims down before it goes off thats what is happening when you unlock the phone.
I can be using it for 5-10 secs before the full brightness kicks in.
It has nothing to do with power saver or internet. Just running through the home pages and apps list it is doing it.
I am on the latest firmware too.
Does anyone know whats causing it? Is it just a faulty handset (or 2)?
Mine the same. I don't think there bad devices I think its just software related tbh

Well im glad some others of you have experianced this also.
I just hope its something that will be fixed in an update.
It really p****s me off when it does it and im outdoors.

My screen brightness dims when I unlock the phone...

-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

Max brightness after reboot (auto disabled)

Hi i have LG G5 F700K (korean) with android Nougat7 (F700K20L)
Yesterday when and turned on my phone i noticed that the brightness is 100% and tha screen timeout set to 2min and the Alwayson display is activated. I checked auto-brightness set timeout to 30sec disabled always-on dosplay. But when i reboot my phone auto-brightness is there for just a sec then it's 100% again and all the other setting so i did a Factory reset (soft & hard) but the problem persists.
PS The sensor of light is working fine.
So do you have any idea what is causing this issue?and how to solve it?
I read that the brightness thing occurs because there is no sim card installed I know, makes no sense but it seems that is how LG chose to do things.

Yes that absolutly worked for me thank you a lot, it's actually a stupid thing from LG beside there is no FM Radio and bootloader for the Korean variant

Adaptive brightness

I turned off adaptive brightness, but while manual brightness is set to maximum I noticed the screen also increases/decreases brightness depending on the outdoor conditions. Sometimes seems it gets even brighter that max manual setting.
Anyone else experienced this?
Hi @mejgs
I too had this annoying issue. Apparently this is caused by an app called "Device Health Services". Disabling it solved the issue for me. Do give it a try & let us know your observation
I noticed it too. Did u experience any issue when disabling it? I am rooting, thinking of uninstalling it altogether. Google has some unwanted apps bundled with Android one.

I've uninstalled that app. No issues so far
I don't have that app, I'm having that issue too

Look carefully. You are supposed to have that app pre-installed. The app package is named com.google.android.apps.turbo
Thanks All. Disabling DEVICE HEALTH SERVICES fixes the auto brightness issue.

Disabled it, still the same issue. So far tried:
- Turned off adaptive brightness, rebooted
- Turned off adaptive battery, rebooted
- Disabled Device Health check, rebooted
- A combination of above
Still nothing!
It's getting beyond irritating now. Everytime I need to read any message or do anything on the phone need to manually lower the brightness and increase it again. That normalizes it for a like half a minute and then goes dim again.
Same issue with my Mi A3 and adaptive auto brightness.
I keep adaptive brightness on all time and when I unlock directly with fingerprint sensor half of the times if not more phone wakes up with high brightness...and doesn't go down...slider is on the dark side and not showing the real brightness...and to change the brightness I have to move around the slider...
It is quite annoying..I disabled device health and seems slightly better but the bug is still there...am I the only one with this problem?
I don't think its a bug but rather a way for the optical in-display fingerprint to properly recognize our fingerprints.

Official Pie update now available on 873

Only thru LG Bridge app as of this morning but I assume it should also be over the air in the near future.
Downloading at the moment. I'll report if there's anything out of the ordinary.
If anyone has the kdz download link, please post here
Downloading OTA right now!
Came here for comments if I should install or not.
I'm getting the OTA as we speak
---Next day edit---
So mine took a good five minutes start to finish to update.
My phones smother, but I'm not sure that means much since it was stupidly laggy for a 821 previously.
I didn't notice any battery drain but I didn't really leave it alone since I wanted to poke EVERYTHING. Todays the real test for that (adaptive battery PLEASE be magic).
One thing I am noticing is (That seems to also be happening on my G7 One) is what looks like push notifications get multiplied so I'll spend five minutes dismissing the same notification. Both phones run ad block so maybe that's blocking some server that stores receive confirmations.

All the H873 firmwares available here, too.
(Shouldn't matter which carrier version you use. I randomly picked rgs and worked for two firmware upgrades in the past.)

It doesn't have the adaptive brightness settings, or is it integrated already in the auto brightness, anyone know?
Also just FYI, I just found out now, if you go to developers settings, there is dark mode(night mode). It works with some Google apps, like play store, it goes well with the lg black theme.

9.0 on my H873 has a slider with auto checkbox.
If you turn it off, brightness stays at whatever you set.
If you turn it on, brightness automatically adjusted based on ambient lighting.
If on auto and you slide the brightness bar brighter or darker, it'll remember this preference and automatically set screen brightness brighter or darker than it would automatically do so.
