lockscreen bug in adaptive brightness

xperiaSPuser37 — Sun, 28 Jun 2015 11:59:02 GMT

I have got this twice that after couple of weeks of use the backlight malfunctions and dont turn off when screen is turned off with adaptive brightness selected on. If I turn off adaptive brightness in settings the backlight behaves normally. I have to restart the device to get adaptive brightness working normally again. Using latest 5.0.2 update.

Hard to tell what's causing it, the easiest way out, repair the phone with PCC

PC Companion (PCC)

Bridge (for Mac)

I have the same problem

Repairing doesn't solve the problem

Weird contrast/brightness issue

Mr_Richard — Thu, 23 Jul 2015 11:25:50 GMT

I've had this phone for about 2 months I believe, and this have only been a minor issue until the 5.1.1 update.

Basically, every time I unlock the phone, the brightness goes up extremely high, and the contrast goes weird so that all text becomes blurry. This goes away after maybe 3 seconds, but it's very annoying.

This problem also occurs during auto brightness in very bright areas. Spotify basically becomes completely gray when in daylight.

The problem disappears if I turn off auto brightness, but I shouldn't have to do that, right?

I've tried factory reset.. Didn't work.

So either my phone is defect, or this is some kind of "feature".

Please help me guys!

Same here after update to 5.1.1. I think it is software bug.

Does the sharpness/contrast also makes your text on the phone blurry?

Mine looks something like these pictures. Note that I have recreated these by editing the contrast and brightness levels of the picture, because screenshotting looks the same.

How it normally looks:

How it looks for about 3 seconds after turning on the screen:

Screen extreme brightness after waking up from standby

Hello. I couldn't get a screenshot to show this issue. After 5.1.1 when waking up phone the brightness of screen is exceedingly bright, then dims down after about 3-5 seconds after or if screen is touched.

What's gives? No root, x reality is off. I loved this phone on kitkat, been horrible after 5.0.2 and 5.1.1.

Are you using auto brightness?

Hey, I got a fairly new z3c and the same issue.
After the update the brightness is somewhat messed up. I did a backup and reset my phone then did the update so I think this is not something you could just repair yourself.
I got the music widget on my screen and you can see that the brightness even exceeds the normal maximum settings and really distorts colours.

This should get some attention and bet fixed

Same here. My z3 gets so bright after I double-tap or either press the power button. Does not happen when auto-brightness is off. So it seems that this got messed up on the 5.1.1 cuz did not had this prior to this update. Please fix this asap guys.

Hello,

I have got the same issue with my Z3 compact since update on Android 5.1.

It looks very bad because I have got a very dark background.
