[Q] Just got my nexus, the screen dimming is annoying. help please.

I just got my Galaxy nexus (an hour ago), and I'm getting around using it pretty well except for one thing which is annoying me big time.
The screen seems to dim or change its color balance when viewing certain things. Whites are usually dimmed at most times, but when I view other things, the dimness goes away and whites become very radiant.
It seems like the phone is adjusting automatically to things on the screen for the sake of energy saving. How do i disable this!?
Yes, I have my Brightness on manual and set to full. That is not the issue.

okay wow this is getting annoying... Two more issues:
1-The thing won't transfer files while im using windows 7 "the device has either stopped responding or has been disconnected". When using OSX Lion, it isn't even detected.
2-There is chinese text here and there no matter what I do for language settings.
This is my first android phone ever, and I'm not liking the experience so far...
Look, I've tried searching for these two issues, and I did not find any threads with them resolved. Maybe I'm computer illiterate. Maybe I have a very low IQ, but can you just help me resolve these issues IF you know how to resolve them without just going into my thread and be like "Oh look, another noob", and proceed with leaving?
PS: I AM A NOOB.

Protip 1. Read up on amoled technology a little. And then read some of the issues some phones like galaxy s2 had. Your dimming is normal. It sounds like you're just more sensitive to it.
Protip 2. Download the appropriate drivers. In device manager, you want it to say android adb interface when you're phone is plugged in.
Protip 3. Take a chill pill. It is okay to be a noob. It happens. Your attitude comes off as annoying or you're freaking out over nothing. Solving problems take time and we are not sorry xda can solve them instantly for you. Patience, amigo.

You might try turning of Auto Brightness and set it somewhere you feel comfortable... I just decided when I got this phone that I'd make myself get used to the adjustments and it's worked out well.

IMHO the adjustments going from white to black are less noticeable on 4.0.3

As far as the dimming, you have Auto Brightness on. Go to settings, screen and set the brightness to something else.

I take it you missed the part where the op said his brightness is set on manual?

samsung drivers
for the drivers use this post
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=20311264
PDAnet installs the drivers for you nice and easy, then you can remove from your phone and pc and the drivers will stay behind.

at this time there is no way to disable the screen dimming function. samsung's other phones have this feature as well, with an option to disable it in settings. its a power saving feature. for whatever reason google did not give any option to turn this on or off. so for now we have to wait if maybe a ROM can disable it.

For OSX you need to download Android file transfer for it to be seen.

Thank you everyone ...Sorry for the attitude earlier.
It seems like I got one of the GNexus phones which have a really good screen (The colors are just mind blowing), its only the dimming thing which is getting in the way. Also, I've tried to update to 4.0.3 and checked out the developer's section of the GNexus forum, but the steps are kind of overwhelming and I'm having my final exams at university right now, so I'll have to wait for a week to just sit back and read everything slowly and correctly.
One more thing, is there a download link to the official 4.0.3 mod ? It seems like everyone here prefers modded images one way or another.

lol. the dimming you are referring to is probably from current draw or a trait inherent to amoled. some people have mentioned they notice "dimming" like on white background browser and you pop up your keyboard. the white will get dimmer or yellower, or black more grayish. this is what you're talking about?

Its the opposite. When you draw the keyboard out, the whites get brighter and stronger. I don't have yellowing on my phone (thank god), but I do have dimming.
top make it simple:
The more the blacks = The brighter/stronger the whites.
Clearly a voltage issue for power consumption's sake. As the phone physically switches of diodes to achieve true blacks, more energy flows to lit diodes and they in turn become brighter.
Isn't there some sort of tweak deep enough to give full power to all diodes at all times regardless of what's on the screen (Full power even if the entire screen is white) ?

Firstly, welcome to Android. Once you get used to it you'll love it. I gave the same problem Windows 7 sometimes usually large video files and need to say that the adb drivers are not required to transfer files to the phone - I don't have them installed and I can still transfer data.
I have to say this is my first amoled device and I haven't noticed any dimming unless I have auto brightness on of course which I understand you don't.

ah yes. you're correct. i had it backwards.

I have the same issue with transferring large amounts of data using Windows 7. Looking for a fix too.
Investing the time to learn how to setup the SDK and using ADB will be well worth it.

Out of the three results I found searching for this topic, I'm glad I checked this thread.
The exact thing I was wondering was:
Is there any way to disable the screen from getting brighter when my keyboard comes up on the screen?
From reading your response, it seems that the screen getting brighter is a result of the design of the screen, suggesting that there is no way to stop it from happening. The only thing I've been able to do to make the screen remain at the brightness I set it is to change the theme of my keyboard to a brighter or lighter color based theme.
I'm using Swiftkey with the Neon keyboard, it looks great and I love it!
I had a Samsung Vibrant previously to the Galaxy Nexus, and there indeed was a "Power Saving Option" in the settings and if I remember correctly that stopped the screen from getting brighter with the keyboard on screen. Has any fix / ability to change this on a stock Galaxy Nexus running JB been found? It's just barely annoying enough for me to notice it, plus I'm a stickler for more battery life and I can feel my battery dying the brighter the screen gets. ( I know this last part may be a mental thing, but still. Haha. )

Screen brightness

My wife and I both have month old gs3's. Both are stock, have brightness set to auto, and power saving mode on. However, hers is much brighter than mine.
She has a white phone and I have a blue one. Am I missing another setting that could be different on our phones?

Have you tried manually going through each of the brightness settings to see if they are different when not set on auto?
Sent from my SPH-D710 using XDA

Yup. They're the same. It's only with auto.

In my experience auto brightness has never really worked properly for me on any Android I've had.. I personally always have my screen as low as possible, it's pretty bright even like that.

I have heard that its not uncommon for inconsistencies in screen brightness on some phones. May be a quality control issue
Sent from my SPH-D710 using XDA

If the brightness of the phones are working manually then i would just chalk it up to minor inconsistencies in the photo cell's on each device, which is to be expected.

Check if "auto adjust screen tone" is checked in Settings -> Display.
EDIT: If it's only with auto, maybe the brightness sensor is a little wack. You could try the Lux brightness app in the play store, as you can manually set the outdoor brightness/screen brightness ratios.

Sorry for bumping this but I have the exact same issue. Mine is blue, my wife's is white. Her phone is way brighter set to auto than mine. It's the same if auto is turned off, her phone is way brighter.
Google searches don't reveal any suggestions...

So this is definitely not a blue vs. white phone issue. In my office, four other people have Galaxy S3s. Three are blue like mine and one is white. I compared all of their phones to mine and mine is way dimmer and a slightly different color temperature than theirs are. I did a factory reset on my phone and it made no difference. The phone is only 12 days old so I am going to take it back up to Best Buy today and see if they can swap it out.
**Update**
Best Buy swapped the phone for me and the issue is resolved for me. In fact, the new phone is a little brighter than some of the phones I had compared to before.

[Q] Does the note 10.1 (2014) use PWM at all level of brightness?

Hi, my english won't be very good because it's not my native langage.
I'm very sensitive to the flicker caused by PWM (Pulse Width modulation) wich is a technique used in the backlighting of a lot of LCD display to dim the brightness of the screen. I'm a "migraineur with aura" wich is a neurological disease, so like epileptic people my eyes and my brain are very sensitive to all sort of visual stress even the most subliminal one like PWM used at a high frequency. And I wanted to know if the note 10.1 (2014) use PWM to dim the screen at all level of brightness? I m' sure that it use it a least until 50 %, and that it is not PWMed at 100% brightness. Cause at 50% i'm sick litteraly within second, and at 100% i'm ok. But I have not tested all the level between 50 to 100 cause if it's flicker I can have quite a serious seazure, which would leave me ill for days, so it's quite hasardeous for my health. So what i'm doing is that i leave the system brightness to 100% wich of course is too bright, but I dim it with a soft (screen adjuster) that can dim the display without touching the backlight. But it's not a perfect solution cause the display is still using a lot of energy that way and there's a lot amount of blue wavelenght coming from it and i'm sensitive to blue wavelenght too. Basically as you can see, LED backligh is not a very good technology for epileptic people, eye-sensitive or migraineur. (I personally think it's not a healthy tec for anybody)
So, I just wanted to know if someone know if there's an "official" level where the note doesn't use PWM anymore to control the brightness of the screen, I mean below 100? Thanks in advance, and i'm sorry if my post can sound a bit confuse, it's not easy to try to ask and explain something in a langage that's note your native langage. Thanks in advance.

Android P what have they done with the brightness?

Just installed P and now previous brightness level of 63 it's so dim? I have to have it almost on 90% brightness now, why have they messed with this, it was fine as it was

Same for me. WTF Google?

The actual brightness is the same, they just changed how the slider works. The first half moved it fast, last half moved it slower. Now the slider is more uniform.

It's definitely not smooth across the entire range, all my brightness is almost all the last 10% and actually a pain to set properly, it's worse for me.

That's more accurate because in bright indoor lighting or outside it's going to be towards the end of the scale. Dim indoor lighting I'm currently at 43%. And in pitch black it goes to 0%. I pretty much never touch my slider anymore after a couple adjustments. Don't get caught up on the percentages. I would be willing to bet that with Oreo at 40% and Pie at 90% the lumens output of the screen was the same.

Yeah I don't touch mine once it is setup generally but it's definitely not even throughout the scale, only gets really bright from like 85% onwards, just seems odd the real brightness is so high up, makes for fine tuning a bit difficult.

The screen has been rated a minimum of 1.78 nits and a maximum of 496 so if it truly is linear now, 50% is something like only 247 which isn't that bright at all.

Hi
So much for AI on adaptive brightness, it's rubbish, and why do Google try to fix things that aren't broken, who needs AI for adjusting a backlight? Seems nothing more than just being able to market the phone as having AI! Never had an issue on Oreo, had it set at 25% with adaptive brightness and it was always the correct brightness wherever I was, which shouldn't be difficult given it's got a sensor to read the light levels.
Now since Pie, last night I turned my phone on in the dark and was blinded by a bright display (Oreo it would have been at it's lowest level in the dark), so turned the brightness down, turned it again later and the same thing, way too bright, and again this morning in a fairly dark room the same thing, far too bright, so I turn it down again. How long will it take to learn? The old method it was tamed immediately, now I'm constantly fiddling with the brightness, how is that progress!
Is there an option to go back to the old method?
Wish I hadn't bothered upgrading, just another year with an Android update with changes for changes sake.
Regards
Phil

Totally agree on this. Adaptive battery and adaptive battery are almost non-sense. Only something cool to brand the item.
And Pixel Visual Core is just something super-expensive to make Whatsapp, Facebook and Twitter cameras use HDR+. I'd rather pay something less and not having this feature that is probably expensive (or modifies the perception of the Pixel 2 as super-new and mega futuristic). Also, I've got the feeling they won't use it for Pixel 3 or 4.
Moto X1 was the last to use more CPUs to optimize the phone, before Qualcomm introduced more chips.

Hi
For any one having this issue please report this from your device at Settings > System > About Phone, the more people that flag it the more likely it will get fixed.
For me, I hate these updates that break simple basic functionality and overall add nothing extra to what we had with Oreo. Google really need to test these things properly and stop trying to fix things that simply are not broken!

Phil

A Few Days In.. Thoughts So Far..

Hi,
Finally got my 7t on Sunday after some Amazon delays and thought I would put down some thoughts to see if others share my view of its good and bad points. I have migrated to the 7t from a Galaxy S9+ so some of the comparisons are with that as I've had it for the last 18 months.
Overall I am very pleased, construction is good, 90hz display is lovely and its snappy and smooth. I havent extensively used the camera but everything seems to work and I like the OxygenOS implementation of Android 10 however I am finding that some apps are a little behind and dont work to well. Good size, good weight and weirdly almost identical in dimensions to the S9+.
The notch hasnt been an issue and only on third charge but battery life for my useage is very good. Sound is much louder than my S9+ although not sure about better, its on par though which is fine with me.
I do have some niggle points though which maybe updated in the future and maybe its just me but would appreciate your views.
1) Haptic engine is nowhere near as strong as the S9+ and I miss the decent buzz of the vibrations on the keyboard and the feedback
2) Adaptive brightness goes too dim at night, this might just be me and my eyes but I can hardly read the screen in total darkness due to how low it goes and I have had to use Macdroid to take adaptive brightness off at night and set it to 20% so I can see the screen
3) Coming from a headphone jack I've realised cheap USB-C to 3.5mm dongles are nowhere near as good as the faithful jack. It's a shame it had to disappear.
4) Really wanted to use and try the stock launcher as I normally use Nova but the stock launcher wont go 6 icons wide, only 5. I think Nova is a little behind in Android 10 as transitions can be a little choppy but we all have our favourite homescreen setups right? and mine has to be 6 icons across.
5) Have tried using my current charging stuff and it charges the phone much slower even though my chargers are QC3.0 and cables are good. Still testing but a little disappointed that you will have to use their cables for full speed charging.
6) Really missing the notification LED and there seems to be no proper solution whereby you can keep the ambient display on and have a flashing LED style indicator so you dont have to keep tapping your phone screen
Think thats all for now. Happy to hear your thoughts but I'm all in all a happy customer. Glad I made the switch.
Thanks for reading

This is such a mature review compared to others I've read on the forums. You mention the pain points but don't go about berating OnePlus mindlessly. :good:
Anyways, I agree with most of them. Here are my thoughts:

Read the same feedback on OnePlus forums, so it's not just you or your eyes. I've always preferred adjusting brightness manually, so have turned it off.

I don't mind the homescreen width, but the app drawer on the stock launcher lacks the option of creating folders. Nova to the rescue again!

This is what I miss the most. I have grown accustomed to the notification LED, and now it bugs me to not have it anymore.
I tried a few apps but none works the way I want them to. Still would recommend you to try "Always on Edge" as it offers many customization options and there's a lightning style called LEP which replicates the flashing LED.
If you happen to come across an app that does a better job, do let me know

Thanks enfilade,
Currently I have settled on Notify Buddy although I will try "Always on Edge" if I get tired of it. Notify Buddy seems to work pretty well, there is one thing that doesnt work correctly but has an easy workaround.
I find it works very well but you cant single tap the screen to wake while there is a notification as it uses the overlay. However you can double tap which wakes the screen and then you can use face unlock or the fingerprint. The fingerprint works fine with no notifications. This result while not perfect isnt the end of the world.
As I say though, will try Always on edge if I cant make this work long term. It would be great if OnePlus could make it an inbuilt OxygenOS facility.

I checked out NotifyBuddy. It does a good job but it lacks the option of displayed LED for charging/fully charged, which I'm looking for.
"Always on Edge" has that option but I am not completely satisfied as I also want the experience to not conflict with the Ambient display. Btw, it has multiple options for how you want to wake up, including long press and slide, so that might give you better option. Also it handles power button press in a better way.
But you need to watch an ad every time you want to save any changes you made in settings, so that's irritating, but once it's set, no ads interference in the experience.

Have had a good play and not 100% sure how I can do what I want, have got it so I get icons for notifications with no flashing dot and a flashing dot while charging but its taken lots of testing and messing about. Ended up paying for it, after all its only £1.29. Happy to have any pointers or config secrets you have found to make it work properly. Thanks for the tip on what to try though.

I wish it was just a little smaller... like 10mm shorter I'd say... oh well...

It's mostly due to wire gauge, which 6A should probably make the cable run hot and maybe pop (which has happened to me in other scenarios)

I haven't been able to get it to work the "ideal" way, where I get the notification dot and the ambient display experience is not impacted. So not much I can share. In fact I didn't even know I could set flashing dot based on the scenario, so thanks for that!

Well looks like I didnt do too well either, ran it overnight and it looks like it completely disregarded the Do not disturb times and displayed every notification overnight and used 38% of my battery. So not sure why it still displayed but looks like back to the drawing board.

Is it me or is battery life not that great?
44 minutes of SOT and down to 82%. Feels like my 6t and my XR would have more juice at this point...

Agree. Active drain is alright with me, but standby drain is the biggest problem..

I have no problem with battery. I've got usually about 7-8 hours of SOT in 2 labor day.
My scenario: 3 google account syncing, 1 vpn mailing app syncing, bluetooth and GPS are on, no Wi-Fi coverage during 8 hour at work so I'm using there only LTE. Also I'm using a MiFit app that is syncing in the background all my notification and sending them to my smartwatch. That's all, but I'm not a gamer, I'm using a smartphone to browsing, mailing, chatting and calling. During a discharge cycle I do also an 1 hour video session on Youtube.
I'm really glad with the battery life.

Coming from a pixel 4, this phone is amazing.
The camera is way better than reviews give it credit for. Storage is blazing fast and I can actually mount my USB drive (and files copy over super fast). Battery charging is fantastic, display is brighter and nicer. The phone feels great in the hand.
I can't find one thing I don't like so far.

The pixel 4 looked good but my specific model had some bad screen light leak. The OnePlus 7t is brighter and more vibrant, the animations are more pronounced since the screen is bigger. Also it's only comparable when the pixel has 90hz forced in developer settings.
