Flickering screen at Power saving mode, please help!!! - Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Good day every one
I have very weird issue I notice that when I´m in Power saving mode and make the screen brightness 100%, the screen start to flicker especially when the background is white, any one face the same issue?
thank you

The refresh rate of the screen is capped when power saving mode is enabled, hence the noticeable flickering. You can disable this feature in power saving mode settings.

[Q] Bug in Auto-Brightness?

I hope someone can confirm if this is a bug or not!
Whenever I turn off my screen, and then on again it takes a second for the screen to auto-adjust the brightness up or down. (depending on the light-situation!)
Isn't the light sensor supposed to know what brightness to be at even when the screen is shut off? It's as if it first detects the light-situation when I turn on the screen. Could someone please try (in either a very dark or light room) try shut off screen, then back on and check if the brightness has stayed the same or if it first adjusts it when you've turned it on?
Why would it monitor the light when the display is off? Seems like a waste of power to me.
I doubt its a bug. More like a powersaving feature.
That's normal AFAIK.
The light sensor turns of when the screen goes off, to save a few milliamps I presume.
To my knowledge this is normal, its how mine operates as well.

It's like that on mine too. I think that all sensors are turned off when the screen is off to save battery.
[SOLVED] Bug in Auto-Brightness?
Alright, thanks for the replies. Just didn't notice it till now and it sort of bothered me.

[Q] Screen dims when using email app

The screen on my G Note 2 N7100 dims whenever I open the stock email app. Initially, when I set up the very first email account the brightness was normal but after it finishes and goes to Inbox it went darker. I've tried tweaking the display setting but have not been successful and it wouldn't be productive to manually toggle the brightness whenever I am using the email app. When I leave the email app on to home screen or any other app the display brightness returned to normal.
Is anyone experiencing similar issues? Any thoughts to fix this?
Is it the "auto adjust screen tone" setting?
i am facing the same issue. tried lot of things but no success....seems this is the way this app looks...disappointment

Hey @amf, you're right...sort of. It's the Power Saving mode that's messing with the screen dim but as I pointed out this issue only occur with the stock email app. Every other apps I tried were fine with Power Saving mode on. With that said, I found that you don't have to completely turn off Power Saving, just uncheck Background Color and leave the rest checked. This is strange because I thought that Background Color is supposed to dim for bright background to reduce power consumption but the email app's background is black.
Anyway, thanks everyone for replying! :good:
Hi,
The darker the background, the less battery it consumes. It seems to make sense when you turn on Power save mode.
Cheers!!

[Q] Brightness dimming [weird bug]

EDIT: its caused by the same power saving feature in the other thread except that the power saving app is not turning off
when ~80% of the screen is the same dark colour the screen drops brightness around 10%
The nearest thread to this was this on S3 caused by power saving.

[Q] Screen brightness modes difference

Hi, lately I was wondering if there is any difference in battery drain using normal or energy saving mode in brightness settings?
From the beginning I set screen energy saving on and slide the slider to line between 2nd and 3rd switch in pull down status bar. For some reason I need more brightness from time to time and I just turn off power saving so my screen gets extra ilumination which is perfect for me, but will this drain battery the same way as when I left power saving on and slide brightness slider to the right to make screen brighter?

Not much in everyday use.
It only works well in poorly lit environments and driving at night. I just set my brightness to 40% and leave it. I is bright enough for home/office and 100% for day driving.

How to increase max brightness on power saving mode?

I found that I get better battery life if I keep power saving mode on during my daily use, problem is that it lowers the screen brightness too low sometimes even when slide to max brightness. Is there a way to retain my brightness on normal mode when I am in power saving mode?

You can try lumos brightness manager but you will no longer be able to use the slider in the quick menu.
You may want to try the app "Night Screen" as well.
