Brightness Problem after boot - HTC 10 Questions & Answers

Every time I boot my lovely handset the brightness is maxed out no matter where it was positioned via the slider in the settings menu previously. It takes a good couple of minutes to sort itself out and within that time the screen flashes/glitches ever so slightly as if it's trying to remember the above settings. I can move the toggle slider left/right and there is not much of a change either. Weirdly if I tap the back of the phone when this is happening it will change the brightness on every tap. After this initial booting time it is perfectly fine and works as it should and doesn't happen again until reboot. I am on stock everything and this has happened on 1.30 and now on 1.80 firmware(s). Only a slight annoyance but I'm more worried about hardware failure. Does anyone else have or know about this problem?

Yes, mine is super bright on boot and shutdown, too. I actually thought this was by design.

[Seemingly Solved]New to LG G3 D851, Annoying brightness problem!!

I just got a G3 and every time I reboot, the brightness resets itself to 100%!!
Auto brightness is off.
Is this a known issue? Is there a fix? The phone is rooted with twrp recovery.
Please and thank you!
Seemingly solved edit: So I pop in the sim card after getting everything set and rooted and all that jazz...Why would a sim card not being inserted prohibit the brightness settings from sticking? I couldn't tell you. First for me.
What if you set the brightness as Auto ?

Even if the auto brightness is on, the brightness always defaults to 100% after a reboot. If the auto brightness is on when I reboot the phone, the auto brightness is off and at 100% when the phone comes back on.
Edit: Ok, not only does the brightness setting not stick, the screen timeout defaults to 2 minutes as well!!! Highly annoying, these two little bugs. HELP!!! :crying: :crying: :crying:
I usually use Nova Launcher, so I got around to installing that and it didn't make a difference. I've removed the slider from the notification tray, done a factory reset through twrp...nothing helped.
Really hope this isn't something I have do just "deal with". I'm about to get around to deleting all the nonsense LG and Google put onto the phone...hopefully it'll have some sort of positive impact.
Did the SIM card fix your timeout issue as well? My phone came with the sim card pre-installed but my screen timeout resets to 30 seconds after every reboot.

BEWARE!!! YUREKA stock cm 12 users

This bug deserved a new thread.
If you've updated your phone to cm12, 5.0.2 then DO NOT DO THE FOLLOWING:
1. in Settings>Display and lights DO NOT keep "Adaptive Brightness" and "Color Enhancement" switched on at the same time. If you do, and then EVER try to manually reduce the screen brightness to minimum, YOUR SCREEN WILL BO BLANK. PERMANENTLY. Not kidding.
AND IT WILL NOT RETURN TO WORKING CONDITION without a factory reset.
Things that won't work:
1. Pulling out the battery and trying to reboot it. Nope. Been there, done that.
Hope CM takes note of this.

Cure for it
well i have experienced it. but to avoid it you can choose the option
setting>status bar> and check Adjust brightness by sliding across the status bar.
so whenever the screen turned off you can swipe on the top from left to right so that brightness can be adjusted again!
you dont have to reset your phone.

happened to me also.... I thought it was a problem with a theme... so i initially rated it 2 stars on play store, but after i saw it was a problem with cm, i went back and gave that theme a 5 star rating...
SOLUTION!!!!
It is still possible to take control over your phone in this situation. If your screen goes blank, this doesn't means that your phone has stopped working, the phone is still functional and you just have to find a way to increase the brightness. If you ever encounter this problem just swipe the screen twice from top to bottom to open the status bar and then slide your fingers on the screen where the brightness controller is present. This will surely solve your problem without any factory reset bull****. Please note that during this complete process the screen will remain blank. I have tested it a hundred times and it works 100%.
this works ... instead of factory reset

Just install vysor in your pc and plug your phone to the pc. Now control your phone using your pc and increase the brightness same wy you reduced it. No need for any factory reset. Hope this helps.
you should Try this
Facing The Phone to Direct Sunlight or if in the night. face it near to the bulb. It will adapt light from the bulb and screen works then you can turn off adaptive brightness. That's works for me.

Volume bar remains after changing volume & back LED flickering

Hey folks,
I have two problems with my good old M9.
It runs completely stock Android 6.0.
1. After changing the volume, the volume bar remains and doesn't automatically swipe out after a few seconds. I have to touch the display anywhere to make the bar disappear. I think the problem came after the last update, but I am not 100% sure. Any1 having this problem, too, and maybe solved it?
2. For some time now, the upper flashlight LED flickers when I turn on the flashlight.
Don't know if it affects the flash when taking a photo.
Is there a way to fix this or do I have to live with it?
Thanks in advance

AOD brightness way too dim...

Hey guys, like many of you I recieved my Note 10+, and I'm almost done with the full setup. I am having a slight issue though with my AOD screen being way too dim. It's so dim that I can hardly make out the notification symbols. I've gone through the Lock Screen settings, and removed the auto brightness, and set the brightness all the way up, but it's like it did nothing. It's still very difficult to make out the notification.
Just wondering if anyone else is having or had the same issue, and was able to fix it?
Thanks for your help in advance.
Sorry for the message above. I literally just figured it out by accident. Right after I posted I turned my phone off, and tapped the screen once to see the time, then for some reason i double tapped the clock, and i got a brightness slider. I turned it up all the way, and it's much better now.
Sorry for the post if it's already been mentioned. I'm back on Android for the first time after being on iPhone for the past few years. I feel like I need to learn everything again.

Always on display "flickering" when activated (on tap)

Hey everyone!
As the title say i'm facing a issue with my always on display.
I'll try to make it as simple as possible:
When I set the always on display to be always active it works flawlessly.
When I set the always on display to activate on tap (and last for 10 seconds according to the settings) it appears for roughly 3 seconds and then disappears for 3-4 and reappears flickering for 2-3 times sometimes showing the desktop wallpaper between each flicker.
Did anyone experience the same issue?
What I did to try and fix it was:
- tested both on battery and while charging
- factory reseted and then restored backup (which was stupid, that lead me to the second point)
- start in safe mode (to check whether it was an app causing troubles) but no such luck, problem still occurs.
- uninstalled "nice lock" apps
- changed some settings under the always on display tab
- cleared cache of the always on app
What you should know:
- I'm running android 9, not rooted and have nova launcher as default home
- After I factory reseted the phone I wanted to stop always on display from updating to test whether it was a new version issue but I forgot and didn't make it in time so I'm currently running the latest version
Does anyone have any idea as of why it's behaving like this?
edit: just wanna be a little more clear, flickering is not meant like a lightbulb it's more something like it turns off and back on after a delay (I'm sorry english is not my native language I can't really explain it any better)

i also experience the same.
this phone has many strange bugs.
when i restart my A70, tap to show always on display works for me for 2-3 times.
after 2-3 times working correctly, the bug starts.
after i tap the screen, it shows AOD for 2 seconds. then turns the screen off and then at the end of the 10th second, screen just flashes itself for the last time and turns off completely.
i think it is related to the fingerprint scanner.
because after i registered my fingerprints and turned on unlocking the screen by the FP reader, this bug ends.
after i tap the screen it shows both the clock and fingerprint icon at the bottom of the screen.
after 2 seconds fingerprint icon disappears. and the clock is continued to be shown until the end of 10th second.
but there is a minor issue, when the fingerprint icon disappears, the AOD screen brightness changes. dims or brighter slightly.
can you please try tap to show AOD, by enabling the fingerprint unlocking?
samsung ?

Hey! Thanks for the answer, I can confirm we have the exact same issue. I also have the same brightness issue you described
Anyway, I have always used fingerprint unlock though so I don't know what to answer you.. I only recently noticed the weird behavior. I did a couple things to test and I found out that enabling the "fingerprint" icon showing in the always on display seems to "fix" the issue of the flicker but not the one of the brightness change (after enabling it i've yet to see the problem occur), you should try it and let me know if you see any improvement. It's probably on samsung's end though and hopefully we get it fixed with android 10 or earlier
I'll take this chance to ask you another question; two weeks ago I received a software update and ever since that day I noticed my battery to be lasting waaaay less than it used to, did you update your phone as well? Did you notice a battery drain?
I have the issue both of you talking about.
hello, I had this same issue and what I did was turn the phone off, and booting it up while pressing "Volume Up", after entering a black screen with many options, I selected wipe cache. It has worked without a flaw since then. There's lots of bugs with this phone. I recently had a problem where the USB port will detect a device and "plugged and unplugged" it, making my phone unable to dim. Thankfully I was helpful.
