Setting to disable dimming on white screens?

So the Lumia 900 dims the screen based on white pixel percentage (for battery) like the Focus and Focus S. Is there an extra settings option to disable this like on the Focus S?

What I'm asking is if there is an 'Extra Settings' category in the settings menu with a field called auto display intensity (like on the Focus S). Thanks.

I'm not seeing it. Today starts my 30-day trial to see if it can pull me away from my investment into Android and my HTC Desire..

I think you can just turn off the Auto brightness. There are no other display settings like on the Samsung WP7's

Yeah, the screen looks a little dim on the auto setting. Someone said that is the way AMOLED screens are. When you disable the auto and change the setting to high, it looks great. I just wonder what the effect on the battery life will be.

I recommend disabling auto-brightness and setting to medium. I personally use low indoors and medium outside. Auto-brightness should be off to save power.

The original poster is correct. Even on Bright with auto turned off, the message area is grey'ish, but white everywhere else seems fine. I went and tested it with the Focus Flash, and it had the same behavior, except when you turn off the "auto display intensity" (or words to that effect) it goes white. I think the Nokia has the exact same behavior, except that we don't have a control to turn it off. I'm keeping my screen on bright to alleviate this, and I know it's hurting the battery to do so.

Auto brightness = dims based only on the ambient light sensor. Auto display intensity = dims based on % of white pixels on the screen.

Do you know of a way to switch the Auto Display Intensity?

Is there a fix to this? I got my Lumia today and when I opened the browser and loaded Google it seemed very dim. Even if you change the background of the phone to white instead of black, it looks almost grey and dimmer than some of the other whites on the phone. Is it a bug? Should I replace the phone for another one, or are they all like this?

"Feature" not a bug. Samsung presumably provides Nokia the AMOLED panel which has it programmed into the firmware. Samsung modified WP7 on the Focus S to let you disable it.

[Q] Tne Homer Simpson Problem.

Hi everyone,
I just bought my galaxy note 2014 and i noticed this weird thing: the colors of my display seems problematic. This is most noticeable in the yellow color. If you watch an episode of The Simpsons, for exemple, the yellow of the charachters will be in a greenish, almost the colour u would expect from mud.
Some curiosities:
setting the brivhtness to max and disabling auto brightness seems to help A LOT. Not perfect, but much better, altought i dont wanna kill my batteries.
If you pull the notification bar, the colours seems magically fixed, but putting it back makes it go wrong again.
Maybe you can help me with that

Settings => Device => Display => Screen mode
Turn off "Adapt Display"
If that doesn't fix it, try manually changing the screen mode

Occasional Color temperature / screen tint change

Has anyone noticed their screen occasionally looking slightly warmer (more yellow) than usual? Not sure if it's after the recent update or if its always been there..i think its the update.
SM-960F here
Display mode - Adaptive. But I'm comparing just the notification shade.

That is probably a result of the blue light filter. It turns on automatically at 7 pm. You can change its settings in display

Thanks for your reply but its not that. I checked.

Do you notice it in certain apps? There's also a "video enhancer" feature under "Advanced features" - try turning that off to see if it changes anything.
The one other way I notice the screen temperature change is in bright light - under Brightness, you can control the "screen mode" - adaptive is default, which means it automatically switches between cool and warm depending on what you're doing and where you are (in the sun, for example). Take a look at the settings there, because you can customize it a lot.
Edit: I see you said you are on adaptive, so you probably already looked at these. Have you tried making it a set setting rather than adaptive?

Try turning off auto brightness.

Display color totally washed out

Updated to 8.0.0, it was fine, some apps (like Waze) got forced close quite often so I did a cache clear (in Recovery Mode). Now the display color is totally washed out, especially starting from 50% brightness. Any idea the reason could be? THanks
Oh, and I notice that if I go to Display Setting - Screen Mode - Adaptive Display - Advance options, what ever I do with the 3 channels (Red, Green, Blue), the display color doesn't change a bit

On Nougat there is a Display setting called "Screen mode". Does it still exist on 8.0, and if so, maybe it has changed due to the cache clearing?
Edit: Did not read post properly, sorry. Although, have you tried to change between the different screen modes?

Question WARM DISPLAY TINT

So this morning I got my oneplus 9pro, and things were all fine until evening. i didnt enable, reading mode, comfort vision, nightlight etc but the display started to look warmer with whites having a reddish tint. I tried to use Advanced mode in color calibration and turned down the tone to cool and green. but the always on display AOD still shows the white text with reddish tint and as soon as I unlock the device I can see the display changing back to my cooler settings from warm. I took screenshot of a white blank page from DOCs app and it was yellow in my device but as soon as I sent it to my friend in whatsapp it was all white. Searched the internet for everything and still cant seem to figure out the solution. iF its a hardware or software issue. I tried color inversion, wipe cache, color correction, reset device everything. PLEASE HELP

it is most likely the comfort tone. deactivate the slide

Yup definitely comfort tone

I mentioned it fellas. No comfort tone nothing the screen is totally warm. Even if I set it to coolest settings I can see the yellowish white when scrolling. Especially in AOD it gets worse. Is this hardware or a software problem?
