Screen brightness/colour temperature fluctuating rapidly #1121

Apologies if this has been posted before but is there a fix for OLED screens flashing/changing brightness in dark mode? — Ok Comboomer

Ive been trying to screenshot the issue, but it’s independent of what’s on the display vs the backlight, if that makes any sense. I can’t screenshot it but I can try to photograph or represent it in some other way.

I scroll, I type, I move my phone around, and the brightness of the display, specifically the brightness/color temp of the black background, fluctuates rapidly. It gets darker and brighter and darker again, I assume as the ambient light sensor is triggered.

As far as I know this only happens in Awful App, it’s a fairly consistent but not omnipresent issue going back as far as I can remember.

I’ve seen something like this too, yeah. Never thought it would be Awful-related but now that I think of it I don’t recall it happening with any other app. Hmm. — Subjunctive
