How does HDR work on this phone? - Huawei Mate 20 X Questions & Answers

Hi there, just picked up this phone and was wondering how HDR works on this phone, I'm asking because on my TV any HDR content that is viewed the screen goes to full brightness (backlight), I have tested HDR content on youtube and sometimes the screen does automatically ramp up to full brightness but it seems intermittent, and in Netflix it does not seem to affect the brightness at all? , do I have to manually change the brightness when watching HDR content?

Yes, change it yourself. They don't want you to blind yourself when you play a HDR video at night in the darkness.

[Q] Dark pictures?

Hi,
When I take pictures with the S6, the setting displays completely fine in the viewfinder (aka screen), but when the picture is saved it is several degrees darker.
Have tried with HDR on and off, and also with the front facing camera, same problem.
Have anyone else have this issue with the S6 (Edge)?

Worth a shot but is adaptive brightness enabled? Or possibly Auto Brightness?

As a matter of fact, adaptive brightness was enabled. When I disabled it the pictures look as good as they should in the gallery.
Don't know if the camera disables adaptive brightness, appears like that.
Thanks for the help!

Landscape video playback -> autorotating to portait after some time

So I have this weird issue with my OP5T, whenever I play a video in full screen (landscape orientation), using YouTube Vanced, VLC, or any video video applications, after some time, I'd say around 2 to 5 min, my phone orientation automatically switches back to portrait without even touching or holding the phone in my hand.
I was wondering if anyone ever had this issue and eventually found a fix for this behavior ?
Yea i got the same thing ....but mine dose it in most apps....not just watching videos.... Gyro sensor is way off...just can't find how to fix .....

No brightness increase during HDR playback

Every time I playback HDR content through YouTube, Vanced or the built in player the brightness doesn't increase automatically to full. When I increase the brightness to max manually then I get a pop up massage that "can't change brightness cause another app controlling it". I tried every possible combination on power modes/ screen options but no luck. Also on Vanced there is an option to automatically increase brightness to full when HDR content is displayed but doesn't seem to work either.. Any ideas?

Facing the exact same issue with my Note 10 plus. Tried all the possible power settings including adaptive power mode and even the video enhancer, but just not able to get it to work. The brightness goes up only for a second when I turn the phone from portrait to landscape mode and vice versa. I am sure this is a software bug. I think some issue with the Pie actually and not Samsung's Oneui because I had this issue even on my oneplus 7 pro.
Same issue here...

HDR playback: is it working?

Hi everybody! I'll start by saying that this forum has been really useful in the last few years, so thank you to all users that keep it alive!
I just bought a new Galaxy S20, coming from a S8, and on my old phone, when I watched a HDR video (for example, on Prime Video), the blue light filter would automatically turn off and brightness would go to the max (only while playing). Now, on S20 it is no longer the case. Even if I turn off the blue light filter, brightness can be changed with no issue. That goes beyond the purpose of HDR, which needs brightness to be all the way up. In fact, I believe HDR itself is not working. I checked with my S8 side by side and the difference is pretty clear.
Why is that? Was it the same for S9 and S10, also?
I read somewhere that screen should be set to natural (or that it automatically uses natural when viewing HDR videos), but I see no difference at all. I guess that the brightness not going up is the main cue to see if HDR playback is working or not, and - in my case - it is not. Tried also Netflix, to no avail.
May you help me with this?
Thank you!

Question p6pro weird screen flickering in Google photos app

Hi,
Has anyone noticed this weird screen flickering on the Pixel 6 pro in the Google photos app? I can only reproduce it when - I shoot a video in landscape mode and while viewing it in landscape mode pull up from the bottom to bring up the video details. I notice it when the Smooth display is turned on and also when I force high refresh rate (120 Hz) from developer settings. I can't reproduce it with smooth display turned off (when the refresh rate is 60Hz). The phone is updated with the latest December update.
In addition I dont see this when I view the landscape video in portrait and also not when I shoot a portrait video and view it in landscape.
I replicated your scenario but I don't have/see the problem.
Suggestion: clear data/cache from Photos app, restart app.
No problem on my end.
