The screen of my Note 3 Neo Duos (SM-N7502) which I bought last June 2014 is now dimming at random. My Neo is still on stock Rom and never rooted. Automatic Brightness is turned off and the Brightness is maxed out. The phone is relatively cool when it the screen starts to dim.
Anyone have similar experience with their Note 3 Neo Duos? The dimming doesn't happen very often but it gets to be irritating.
never heared of it
The dimming happens randomly?
Not in a particular time oftenly?
I.e. while charging?

Hi,
EDIT
Resolved it (kinda), I shut the "Economy mode" and the screen stop the flickering....
---
I'm creating a new thread for this problem got an answer there telling me it's my phone, but I would like to know if somebody else notice this.
It's like on good old CRT. Got a Note I (got stolen) bought a Note 2 and I can see a flickering, like if the display had a 60Hz refresh rate, never notice such a thing with the Note I.
It's more noticeable on white screens. And when you are using peripheral vision, by pointing your eyes like 10 centimeters from the side of the device, the flickering must be more visible
The effect looks like this http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=M3jHOwE8MqA not mine but can give an idea of the problem.
Thanks

Never notice it with my Note I, it seems that it's partly due to AMOLED technology, but as I did not notice it on my Note I...
Maybe it varies form device to device...

Then why didn't you return it under warranty?
Go to Display > Features > Smart Rotation . Disable Smart rotation and voila the problem is resolved....

Ok, so if you do not own this device the Note 2, and do not want the device, why chime in and post/comments...
My scraan is flickering too. Feels like old CRT TV. When brightness not at 100% level I can observe this problem. Looks like samsung using PWM to control brightness. I think this is terrible. And I hope this can be fixed by software (adjust brightness by gamma correction etc)
mine also sometimes flickering on the lock screen in the near clock area for about 0,5-1 sec. but no need to worry, i guess its a hidden samsung note 2 feature...
So there are no solutions to fix screen flickering? Maybe we can overclock screen somehow? Maybe alternative brightness control?
The screen flicker mus be due to a bad batch of screens. Mine had the screen flickering too. and even with economy mode shut down and brightness is set to less then 100%. if you rapidly move the phone you can see that you see several screens instead of a blurry moving screen. this way you know it flickers. so for example if you move your phone up and down very rapidly instead of seeing a blurry view of the screen you will see several edges of the screen simultaniously. this tells you its flickering. While just looking at the screen you wont actually see the flickering but its somehow disturbing.
The way i know that your screen is defect is because due to a rescent replacement of my screen on my note 2 the flickering is totally gone now.
But keep in mind that my battery usages with screen on has increased. so i think samsung changed the power management for these new screens so that they wont flicker anymore. but they consume more power now. first i used the screen 6,5 hours and had a standby of 24 hours. now i have 6 hours screen on time with 24 hours standby. so its a bit of a change though. I just tested it 1 time. so it could also be i used the phone in another way when getting only 6 hours.
But just to let you guys know the flickering can be fixed.
I have noticed that while my note 2 is charging then the brightness of the Red LED keeps changing from low to high at very irregular and unexplained intervals. When I spoke to Samsung Customer Service in Hongkong then they also said that it shouldnt happen and I need to brign the handset to the service centre.
Has anybody else experienced similar situation ?
I have noticed it sometimes happens when I am changing the light conditions in the room by switching off and on the room light but that also not always.
Please help as this is very new phone to me .
It has been said that the brightness of the LED changes according to the ambient light source. If you're in a bright room, the LED will be bright and in a dark room LED will be dim.
And yes, mine acts the same way as yours.

Thanks for your reply. Where has it been mentioned ? Why are Samsung engineers telling me that it's not a normal behaviour ?
Mine does the same thing. Was wondering myself if it is designed to do this or an 'issue'...
Same here..
Yes this is the new Jellybean 4.1 feature
Yes!!
It happens with my Galaxy S3 as well after updating to latest Jellybean 4.1, Actually it is Jellybean feature. nothing wrong with your charger or your device. I have checked practically. (Design for humans, Inspired by nature concept.)
Same here as well, nothing worry about I guess
Different model as it happened to my S3 but I guess it's kinda related, the red LED was going from bright to dim when charging. Plus it was in a dark room, so I don't think it's got anything to do with the ambient sensor or anything. Happened for about 2-3 days and then it died. Tried to switched it on, took out the battery and put it back in again, no luck. Unfortunately I never got to know what was the problem as I got pick-pocketed while on holiday and never got to sent it in to a Samsung Service Center :crying:
Went out and bought a new Note 2 though, so silver lining and all that...
Same here
Same here...I can almost say that when led is brighter it charges faster

Hey guys, I'm thinking this is simply a common drawback from having an amoled screen, but I just wanted to be sure. While using auto brightness in a dark room (e.g., during bedtime) the brightness level on my device is properly turned down, but I've noticed that when looking at applications that use a black background there will be a lagging "purple smudge" when scrolling or sliding through an application. I first noticed this while using the Yahoo Fantasy Football app in bed. Again, I read that this may be a common problem with phones that have amoled screens but I just wanted to make sure I'm not the only one with some sort of defect. Are you guys experiencing this?
I have used several amoled screen phones and have never had an issue like that. I now have a note 4 as well and I'm not experiencing anything like that. I tried to recreate your condition as best I could and I'm not seeing it..... good luck with that one!
yeah, it always happens on amoled. s4, s5, and the galaxy tab s has it. it's just how it's always been

Nothing to be worried about. All I have had have done this and the note 4 is no different. Just remember, it's the BEST display available on a phone right now... or so I have read
mine is so terrible, its making me crazy! specially when watching a movie, its all purple, it started the day after i bought it and now got terrible ! my movies get all purple :|(not that much but really annoying)
I'm having the same problem on my note 4 (SM-N910C) after the lollipop update... It's making me very angry! At least on my device the effects seem to be rather substantial... I'm sure this wasn't happening on kitkat...
Anyone else having this problem?
So I tried to reproduce this and under no circumstances does my phone exhibit this under auto brightness.
Though no matter how dark it is my phone will only drop brightness to about ~15-20%.
Even if I drop the brightness down to 2-5% manually it does not exhibit the purple lag.
For my device... only at the absolute minimum brightness does it exhibit this behavior.
If your device is exhibiting this kind of behavior what brightness level is it actually at?
I recently bought a Samsung tab s 8.4 and have noticed that the brightness randomly goes up and down, even though I have Auto-brightness turned off. I have done some research and supposedly it could be a loose battery/display cable. Just wanted to get some more feedback thanks
Hey,
Since some weeks I have a very annoying Problem with my Redmi Note 5 (global) always shut down (completely off, no restart) as soon when I am out side or the ambient temperature is getting low like for example -4°c / 24,8 Fahrenheit. It completely turns off and sometimes doesn't want to turn on again for quite a while and also don't take a charge. The temperature should normally not be a big deal for a phone and my girlfriend also owns a rn 5 global and she never had such a problem. I already did a reflash of miui and also now did a clean flash of Xiaomi EU rom as both didn't fixed it I also tried a different kernel now (basickernel by sgspluss) in combination with Xiaomi EU rom (phone was always rooted with magisk) but nothing helps. There is no massive battery drain and when I use a app to read CPU / battery temperature they seem also be okay. I have really no idea what could cause it I really hope someone here has an idea.
There are no Xiaomi service centers in my country.

All phones are not meant to be use under low temperature, that's written on their papers, that no one's read, kkkk. So under very low temperature and high temperature, the phones shut down, so be cool, that's not a problem related to phone, is related to temperature. Just keep him warm, and will not shut down.

Between +2 and -4°c is not really a temperature for a phone to trigger temperature protection. Also non of my coworkers and even the phone from my girlfriend which is also a Redmi note 5 shut down at this temperature.

Same here. I have seen my LCD getting a little frozen (ghosting effect was really visible) but no early shutdown

If out of two Whyreds You have, only one has this problem then it looks like a hardware damage

Then it seems I'm the lucky one without any ghost effect issues, I'm in the 4th month of use now and I not had any serious issue yet (Including not any image retention/ghost effect)
