Brightness problems

I love the Dirty Unicorn ROM. However, I'm having a problem with brightness. It is being set to 100% after reboot and I'm unable to change it. Is there any fix for this issue?
[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Moepda:
hi , i use auto brightness but have tested with manual brightness also , i cant reproduce this on my hlte , could you post if your on a different version like spr/vzw etc. i would suggest full wipe and wipe data also. dont restore system apps and maybe you have or have had a screen controller installed which may be conflicting
[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] GuestD0180:
I did a clean install, wipe cache partition/dalvik cache. I don't like to use auto brightness, I keep it on manual mode. However, there was no change even after I was trying to change brightness manually. I'm using hlte version. I don't have any other screen controller. I will give it one more try this weekend. Thanks for getting back to me.
[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Moepda:
cheers for posting back , not sure if your new to du but if coming from another rom you must wipe data ,

Do a full nandroid backup and wipe data ,system , both ccache. see if that helps. if not you can restore backup,i do recommend trying that as data often causes issues and definately causes errors if coming from another rom...
[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] GuestD0180:
Yes I'm new to DU (but not to flashing). I did clean wipe data/system, cache partition and dalvik cache too. ROM was running fine until reboot. After booting brightness was at 100% and wouldn't go down even after changing manually. I'll surely give it a try as I liked the features.

DU working with hlte

Ok so I installed DU again (even before weekend starts). It seems to be running well except that I get few exceptions sometimes "system UI has stopped working". I have to reboot the phone and everything is back and running again. Since, this is just the first day after I installed ROM, the battery life hasn't been that great. I'll give it a week before I can jump to conclusion about battery life on DU.

It's a really nice ROM. Good work.
[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Moepda:
cheers for your reply , it is essential that you wipe data on first flash , otherwise you will get all sorts of fc.

du is different to cm/slim/carbon etc and the data files between roms are incompatible hence the need to wipe /data if coming from another rom..

[MENTION=2827150]Moepda[/MENTION], I did wipe all data and system along with cache.

So it's been one week, after I installed DU. There are no system/UI crashes or random reboots. Performance is pretty solid too. But, battery life has still not improved. There's a sharp decline even when it's idle. I used the Kernel that came along with DU. I haven't installed any new apps recently or changed my display settings significantly.

Yes I had the same issue with Battery on the day I installed the ROM. It used to get overheated, but from second day the things got better. The battery life is kinda ok but performance is really good with DU v8.2. For GPS issues, what I found is whenever you flash a new ROM, before flashing keep the location settings on "high accuracy". That should resolve the GPS lockdown issue most of the time. However, with latest Google Maps I'm having issues where map just freezes in between navigation or maps would abruptly shut down. I had same problem on CM11 snapshot M11.

[Galaxy Note 4 General] noterio:
I still use the original Note, and I really like the Note 4, but the screen flicker and color shift is making me hesitate about upgrading, because it's partly a downgrade.

If you don't know what screen flickering is, it's when the light from the display is more like a strobe light than a flash light. That is how many displays lower their brightness.

Think of it like a water faucet. Turn it on full blast, and that's the light from the LED at the brightest setting. To make it darker, you'd close the faucet a little, and less water would flow out. Or you could rapidly turn it on and off, and less water would also flow out, but it'd be in spurts.

The original Galaxy Note is like the normal water faucet, where it's a steady stream at full brightness, and as you lower the brightness it simply decreases the force of the steady stream.

The Galaxy Note 4 is like the water faucet that is constantly turning on and off in spurts, even at full brightness. Then as you lower the brightness, it leaves the faucet off longer, so less light comes out over time, and it appears darker.

Why does this matter? Because, a constant steady stream is pleasant, and a jolting repetitive spurt is irritating.

The original Galaxy Note is like a

seamless line

, and the Note 4 is like a bunch of -----------.

Galaxy Note 4 at maximum brightness (240 Hz):

-------------------------------------------------

Medium brightness:

- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -

Low brightness:

- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -

You can see this on some of the video reviews. It's most noticeable when they have the brightness lowered, and are on a bright white screen. You will see diagonal lines cycling across the screen like waves.

Try this... lower the brightness of your display to the minimum, and go to a white page. Then wave your open hand in front of it. Do you see a normal motion blur like when you do it away from the screen, or do you see a bunch of sharp lines, like trails from a strobe light?

Different people can perceive different rates of strobing light, and some are irritated by it quicker than others. But everyone should prefer a steady stream of light over an abrupt pulsing one.

Anyone know if there's any control over the PWM in software? Does Samsung release the display driver code?

With regular LCD displays there might be a kernel driver (drivers/video/backlight), and a sysfs entry (/sys/class/backlight/brightness). But with AMOLED they are using PWM to control the brightness of each sub-pixel, not a panel backlight.

With luck maybe at least there's an interface that could instruct the hardware to not use PWM at maximum brightness. I'd guess all the color calibration adaptive display technology would have to be bypassed though.
[Galaxy Note 4 General] AndreiLux:
The PWM is defined in the kernel driver and it's too complex to change it.
[Galaxy Note 4 General] i_guana:

[Galaxy Note 4 General] Magnesus:
You know that video recording exaggerates the effect by miles? And your light bulbs flicker in a similar way? The frequency is too high for your eyes to notice though so it doesn't matter.
[Galaxy Note 4 General] noterio:
I found a video that compares the Galaxy Note 3 and 4 side by side. The PWM frequency looks similar in auto mode. But notice how when he changes them both to maximum brightness the Note 3 doesn't flash like the 4 does. For some reason the Galaxy Note 4 flashes all the time, even with full brightness.

(Fast forward to 9 minutes)

[YOUTUBE]bHBLA0txReg#t=521[/YOUTUBE]

Light bulbs can strobe too, and some people are sensitive. Have you ever been sick and went to a store or office with fluorescent lights? Maybe you've noticed the lighting isn't as comfortable as natural lighting. Sometimes it can make people feel disoriented, like trying to walk through a strobe light.

It would be reassuring if someone sensitive to PWM lighting said that the Galaxy Note 4 screen isn't a problem for them, even after several hours of reading.

screen flicker

Hello,

I have only used iphone since the iphone 3. I preordered the note 4. I researched alot and hope this is not going to be too big. But through my research came about this video and don't know if this is a solution your looking for but may help.

This is my first post and not allowed to link the youtube link.

Search reduce amoled flicker the video was only posted 5 days ago. Hopefully this is a good solution
[Galaxy Note 4 General] noterio:
This one? youtube.com/watch?v=gQNcaa2EV2U

The idea behind that is to set the brightness to maximum so it doesn't use PWM, then put a semi-transparent black layer above everything to make it appear darker.

That could work with other phones, but the Galaxy Note 4 is reported to always uses PWM, even at maximum brightness, so even with that trick there will still be strobing at 240 Hz. That might be better if the frequency would otherwise be real low at the lowest brightness.

But I think there could be other problems, like higher battery usage, rendering artifacts, inaccurate colors, and slower framerates, caused by having to recalculate all output with the transparent layer on top.

I also wonder if that even works the way they expect. If the AMOLED sub-pixels are changing intensity via PWM that is independent of the master brightness, then maybe applying a semi-transparent layer would cause those darker sub-pixels to darken by decreasing the frequency, which would be similar to lowering the master brightness level.
[Galaxy Note 4 General] nabbed:
Noterio:

If you can see flicker of amoled displays, simply get an lcd one.

I've owned S2, S3, and S4. And never saw any flickering, especially in the darkness.

The effect on video is simply a mismatch between the framerate of the video and the refresh rate of the screen.
[Galaxy Note 4 General] noterio:
Many LCD displays also use PWM, but for the backlight instead of the sub-pixels. It's a similar strobing effect. I have a desktop display and tablet that use PWM, and I have to set them at maximum brightness to avoid the strobing. I've used them with low brightness for many hours and days, but it feels like staring into a strobe light.

Not everyone is sensitive. It's like, some people watch standard definition on an HD TV and don't understand why you think that's crazy. If you show them HD on the display, they act like there's not much of a difference and can continue watching SD. Other people notice smaller details and it would be too annoying to watch SD like that.

[YOUTUBE]3tmSMQA_k8U[/YOUTUBE]

The Galaxy S4 does strobe too. I'm sure if you pay attention you can find ways to see it. One time I often notice PWM the most is when I'm staring at the screen, then look to the side. As I look to the side real fast, in my peripheral vision the flashing screen has a trail effect like when you wave your hand in a dark room lit up by a strobe light.

You could also probably set the brightness to lowest, and swirl it around in a dark room. If you move it fast, and watch the light, you'll probably see it's not a smooth blur, but has sharp jagged edges from the points in time when the pulse bursts to higher brightness.

You can also wave a pen in front of the screen and see the strobing effect.

[YOUTUBE]aPYBFZV8Jqs[/YOUTUBE]

If you don't ever notice or feel the strobing, then it's fine for you. Just like some people are fine watching SD on a very expensive TV. I don't like having to pay around $800 for a display I'll be looking at for hours every day if it's going to be irritating sometimes. Especially since it flashes even at maximum brightness, so there's no tricks to avoid it.

The fact that most people don't notice or care means there's little incentive for the manufacturers to spend extra money to avoid strobing.

The Note 4 looks worse out of all the Notes and S series, because even at max brightness it is abruptly flashing.

[Galaxy Note 4 General] noterio:
The PWM isn't considered a defect, so I'd be very surprised if they changed it in a firmware update.

The big question is at what brightness setting would the graph show it cycling to zero? If it's already dipping below half brightness at the maximum setting, then that's already close to a full strobe, so if you set it to 90% brightness will it be going to zero like 50% does?

Someone should look at it through a camera so they can see the flashing better, and watch to see at what brightness setting it starts to be worse.

[Galaxy Note 4 General] Magnesus:
Because it's imposible to see the strobing by naked eye since it's 240Hz. Those people watch the screen through video camera and panic when they see flickering - which is normal because of resonance between the camera refresh rate and the screen refresh rate (in simplified terms).
