So the Lumia 900 dims the screen based on white pixel percentage (for battery) like the Focus and Focus S. Is there an extra settings option to disable this like on the Focus S?
What I'm asking is if there is an 'Extra Settings' category in the settings menu with a field called auto display intensity (like on the Focus S). Thanks.
I'm not seeing it. Today starts my 30-day trial to see if it can pull me away from my investment into Android and my HTC Desire..
I think you can just turn off the Auto brightness. There are no other display settings like on the Samsung WP7's

Yeah, the screen looks a little dim on the auto setting. Someone said that is the way AMOLED screens are. When you disable the auto and change the setting to high, it looks great. I just wonder what the effect on the battery life will be.
I recommend disabling auto-brightness and setting to medium. I personally use low indoors and medium outside. Auto-brightness should be off to save power.
The original poster is correct. Even on Bright with auto turned off, the message area is grey'ish, but white everywhere else seems fine. I went and tested it with the Focus Flash, and it had the same behavior, except when you turn off the "auto display intensity" (or words to that effect) it goes white. I think the Nokia has the exact same behavior, except that we don't have a control to turn it off. I'm keeping my screen on bright to alleviate this, and I know it's hurting the battery to do so.

Auto brightness = dims based only on the ambient light sensor. Auto display intensity = dims based on % of white pixels on the screen.

Do you know of a way to switch the Auto Display Intensity?
Is there a fix to this? I got my Lumia today and when I opened the browser and loaded Google it seemed very dim. Even if you change the background of the phone to white instead of black, it looks almost grey and dimmer than some of the other whites on the phone. Is it a bug? Should I replace the phone for another one, or are they all like this?

"Feature" not a bug. Samsung presumably provides Nokia the AMOLED panel which has it programmed into the firmware. Samsung modified WP7 on the Focus S to let you disable it.
My notification light is demonstrating strange behavior. When the screen is on, the light is fine. After the screen has been off for a few minutes, the notification light dims out to about half its normal brightness. If I turn the screen on, the brightness is restored.
I've looked through the settings and don't see anything to control this. Is anyone else having this problem? It's pretty minor, but it makes it harder to notice in day/light.
Hey all, after having the device for a month or so, I began to notice light bleeding from the bottom of my display, especially with dark scenes and in immersive mode. If I press on the HTC logo under the screen, the whole display gets noticeably brighter. I am rooted, so any thoughts of returning my phone to HTC or backup the carrier store seem out of reach. Anyone else having this issue?
I just updated to Lollipop from an OTA update, and the screen seems like it's not as bright, and the colors aren't as vibrant.
I've turned off Auto Brightness and turned the Brightness up to 100%, and verified that the Screen Mode is stll in Adaptive.
Has anyone else noticed this?
Try setting screen mode to cinema?
Mine has been fine. Still very bright, like I like it. Good luck.
Cheers.

Probably the best test of whether the screen has changed is to find the stock video that came with the tablet. I found a demo video inside my Tab S 800 when I opened the VLC player and it demonstrated all the colors and brightnesses. I didn't notice anything out of the ordinary.
Hi!
I have received my Red Magic 8 Pro and immediately noticed something. The selfie camera is visible if the background behind it is simple. For example just a simple white or gray background. Depending on movie sometimes it also becomes visible under cartoons like Rick and Morty, however during normal movie I cant see it.
Is this normal for this phone?
Also, the software which handles the pixels in front of the camera sometimes can become bugged and a visible line is displayed. I can reproduce this issue by pulling down the notification bar and holding it at 1 spot.
Does everyone experience these issues ?
That's normal, especially if the screen is on 120Hz, and at low brightness. It's the so-called green tint issue.
