This problem has been present since I got this phone. I have searched the interwebz for any mention of this problem and evidently my phone is the only one suffering this problem. It wouldn't be as much of an issue if auto brightness actually worked - it's more like random brightness. Does anyone have a suggestion?
More information....
What device ?
What firmware ?
Are you rooted ?
We need details to determine if you have software or hardware issues....g

I have been doing a bit of searching around, haven't seen to run in to much.
But my proximity sensor doesn't work..at all along with auto brightness. All of this worked before and I'm running stock rooted.
I've had the phone for 3 days.
I read some where that it could be Google voice but I uninstalled that and it still doesn't work.
Should I return the phone for another? Or could it just be conflicting applications?

Wondering this myself I'm on the newest build of aokp and it seems like the auto brightness is not working

Try the Sensor List app...
Went to AT&T and they said something about DoA and brought out a new S3 that worked properly. Even let me keep the battery from the messed up S3.
But I tried resetting and restoring the phone, re flashed stock latest AT&T rom and the sensors still didn't work. So I reset the flash counter of 1 from rooting I suppose and had my device replaced.

How do you test it?

might try that on my day off
I'm also wondering if there is an app or some reliable way to test the proximity sensor
Not sure if this has been brought I tried looking a few pages back but didn't see anything. Anyone else having this problem with the screen flickering while its dimming ? I noticed it was doing this even on a stock ROM unrooted. Then I rooted and loaded a custom rom and it still does it. Does anyone else have this issue ?

It dims really slow and there is a flicker otherwise. Known thing.

Had the same problem, I did a factory data reset. It's a pain in the ass but it fixed the problem.
Good Luck.
Don't know if this is because of a faulty phone or there is a fix for this, but i tried disabling auto-rotate and it still causes the same problem for me. Anyone have experience with this issue and how it can be fixed?
Which ROM, kernel and CDMA or gsm. Carrier info also please.

So, i love my note 3, so far. I rooted and installed Ds rom and l love it. Everything works perfectly, except for one thing my display is auto brightness itself!! I have auto brightness off, I have dynamic mode checked, and smart screen setting turn off.
Every time I start to play need of speed most wanted, it starts to auto bright itself!! :banghead:
Check out download the game and see if it happens to you!

It happens on mine too. It's a Touchwiz thing because it also happened on my S4. But once I installed CM10 on it that issue went away. I know it's annoying.

Theres nothing you can do about it , its a feature in the kernel called brite and it happened on the S4 also. A dev is gonna have to make a kernel with it disabled. Its there so when the phone gets warm or hot it dims the screen automatically until phone cools back down and then full brightness comes back. There have been a couple threads on this already and i even took my first Note back and exchanged it and the second one does it too. Its software related hopefully samsung will release an update to take this feature out

Yeah i unchecked everything and anything that had to do with auto-brightness and it seems to happen less now. Its just annoying i think its also in there to help preserve battery life but i bought this phone for the big bright screen hopefully a DEV will fix it with a custom stock kernel

I think that's good news about my phone. I thought my was defective or something like that...
I did try lux and a brighter note apps, to see if that would fix the issue, but it didn't.

Yep it's normal. Nothing you can do except keep the temp under 90F. LOL I went crazy trying to figure it out myself. Once the temp gets over 90 for me, it starts auto dimming even with everything disabled for auto-screen brightness.
Hi!
I have a Tab 3 8" that was referbished. I'm about out of my 90 day warranty. I've noticed a break-up or flicker of the image, mostly bottom 1/3rd of screen. some times full screen. I can't replicate it by twisting the screen. It happens infrequently, but I have not determined any factors that can cause it.
Anyone else experience this?
This is not a backlight flicker, it is image based.
Thanks
ax
I had a similar problem with my old phone after flashing so many different firmwares like a nutter, but I never worked out if the problem was software or hardware?!

Got a similar problem with the tab 3 7". But it might be backlight flickering here. Its always the whole screen that flickers. I can sometimes reproduce it in low light situations (at night) if I turn automatic brightness on.

Have you tried odining back to stock to see if that works?

I did not send it back for warranty. I think it is Cyanogen mod. I see it most often just after a large jpg draws in. usually bottom quarter. Have not tried another rom yet.

Have you tried flash the Blackhawk kernel 2.1? I solved this problem doing this or I think this was my solution
