weird brightness bug on stock firmware? - LG Optimus G Pro

I am on 4.4 official ROM and most of the time, when I turn on the screen, it gives me a weird super low brightness purple tint on the screen, as if I have a filter on, and turn off and on again will get rid of that.
Any solutions guys?
Thanks

Notification menu 'bug' after 1.28.

I couldn't find the original thread about this, so I'm making a new one

Theres a video where i film after the 1.28 patch, and as you can see the top isnt making that weird thing anymore, Its just the screen flickering or how i should call it.
You barely see it, but you can see in the video that theres something happening when im moving up and down.
i think the problem is by the ambient light sensor beside the hTC logo
so when your fingertip pass thru the sensor, the light enter reduce so it become brighter...

What is an ambient light sensor on a monitor?
It Is A Sensor That Detect Light So If Its Dark Your Screen Monitor Brightness Will dim down so you're not looking at one source of extreme bright light, When Its Bright The Screen Monitor Will go up to compensate for the extra light around you so you can still see the monitor comfortably

No, that's not it. It's a software bug, the fixed it just a little. It's probably driver problems still. If it was the light sensor it would just dim, not blink.
still the bug is there.. but less than before.. mine screen flickers (not the screen flicking bug) when the bug hits.. just in an instance.. and distorted the date a little than before.. updated to 1.28.415.9 Arabic version
Well mine still makes the thing where everything in the bar gets all blurry.
Just not as often.
So the bug is still there but they sure did something to improve it
Edit: yeah ayan15 did a good description of my bug

Auto Brightness broken with 4.1.1?

Has anyone noticed that their auto brightness is kind of broken after upgrading to JB? For example, if I'm in a really bright area and go into dark, the screen does not dim itself, however this can be fixed by going into settings and un-checking and checking the auto brightness box.
Obviously this is pretty annoying... Is there a fix for this?

I've noticed the same. It stays bright a lot of the time in dark places. I haven't noticed it staying dim in sunlight though.
To me, the way it was before seemed broken. It would constantly change its brightness level. This was effected by the light reflected off clothing, etc
I love it now

He he good one
But I Dont find any issue with it either. In fact, if you dig in, you'll find the process consumes 30% lesser battery than before ie. Screen + sensor timing and refresh for both...

I'm actually pretty sure this is the default behaviour for ICS as well its only 3rd party roms that added in the ability to auto dim as well as auto bright the stock way is it only goes dimmer if the screen turns off and back on other wise it stays at the maximum brightness
Sometimes if I'm using the widget to move from full to auto brightness and tap very fast, it'll sit at full brightness. If I toggle slower its fine. Definitely some bug there.
I think auto brightness is much better in 4.1.1. Before it was far too dim, now it seems just right in all conditions.
I'm using the app "Lux Auto Brightness" and it couldn't be doing a better job.
Definitely check it out if you're unhappy like I was with the stock auto-brightness

that has been the default behaviour from ages for stock goole rom:
the autobrightness only can increase...it doesn't decrease, unless u lock and ulock the phone or check and uncheck autobrightness
that the intended behaviour google want..the brightness get increased, but not decrease..
So you're saying that the auto feature in 4.0.4 was broken then?

Yes, it delayed the lock screen and when I set my phone down under a bright lamp and it woke up hours later in pure darkness, it might soft reset.
happens to me as well on stock 4.1.1. if I'm in a dark room and put the phone under a lamp or something, the brightness goes up instantly, but it never comes down until I lock/unlock the screen again.
in fact most of the time I think the thing is too bright (but that may be because I come from a nexus one always on the lowest setting since the autobrightness there didnt really work well).
it's a minor annoyance definitely
Same Problem with Note2!
Hi guys,
found this thread during my search for this brightness issue. My Galaxy Note 2 has the same strange behavior. But I figured out something: when I lay down the device to a table or bring it to 0 degrees in my hand, automatic brightness it's decreasing perfectly! Can you confirm this behaviour at your nexus? I guess it's a kind of strange Samsung " feature", maybe?
Thanks, Michael
Ahoy, I was also researching my auto brightness issues when I found this thread. I can confirm the behavior from the previous post on my SGS2 on Jelly Bean 4.1.2.
If the phone is in vertical position and I do the lamp test, it will stay on maximum brightness no matter what, but in horizontal position dimming works perfectly.
Regards,
zytrel.

Backlight Flickering

Guys how are you doing? I'm having a strange issue with my phone, i've searched the forum about it but couldn't find anything about it other than a couple of messages without any conclusion. This problem is mostly noticeable when having the screen in minimum brightness, it's like the backlight flickers a bit. If writing an SMS for example, whenever you press a keyboard key the screen flickers (it's very faint but noticeable). Also, when you open any app, it's like the brightness goes up a bit and down again, it's a very strange issue. Is anyone having this problem? Seems to be a software glitch because if you leave the phone in a static screen, that doesn't happen. It's updated to the latest fw version btw, it always happened.
To make it clear (and if anyone wants to try it), this happens with auto brightness, and the slider set to the minimum in a dark condition, whenever the brightness is medium/high at least i can't notice it.

[S9/S9+] Auto-Brightness flickers in dark environments

Hello!
Can you guys test the auto-brightness in dark environments?
My screen flickers shortly before the auto-brightness function find the best brightness.
Unfortunately, I can´t make a video, because this is the only phone I have.
The screen don´t flicker everytime, only when the auto-brightness go under 20% and stops shortly before.
Is it a hardware issue, the new update or the software total. I have the S9+ since yesterday.

Display can't differentiate between black color, and dark colors?

I was watching a video on my PC's LCD screen, but I decided that I would continue it on my A70 instead.
I knew that I'd get different colors because it has an AMOLED display, but I didn't think that most of the dark areas in the video would get turned off! The screen literally turns off the dark colors even if they weren't totally black! And the more you dim the brightness of the screen, the more pixels it turns off! This can also be seen when you put a video lock screen that has dark colors and you dim the brightness. You're gonna see that most of the pixels turn off, and the colors of the remaining pixels will get distorted.
I've faced this issue on the A70, but on my brother's A50 the display is totally fine.
*Current lock screen wallpaper that I can clearly see this issue on: Decor (animated)
PS: My phone previously had the touch panel issue(where the screen feels sluggish when scrolling, and would sometimes click on stuff by itself), which didn't get fixed with the OTA update, which forced me to go Samsung's customer care, which they told me that they need to remove the firmware altogether(because the OTA update didn't install successfully), and then flash the already updated firmware, which indeed fixed the touch panel issue to a degree(it still happens but not as frequent as before).
Do you guys face this issue, or is it just my device? I also sent a message to Samsung explaining the issue through Samsung Members app, but they told me to go get the correct firmware flashed.
