Z5 Compact with "Adaptive Brightness" generates color distortion when unlocking

[SebastianD]

Hi,

I'm having an issue with my Z5 Compact when unlocking the screen. (Specially in dark rooms). The colors are totally "washed" for a few seconds, until adaptive brightness starts to work. 

Sometimes in a dark room (like the bedroom) there is a 50% chance or more of this to happen.

To reproduce this: You need to use "adaptive brightness" under settings. And you need to unlock your phone a few times. I'd recommend you to do this using Tapatalk (Dark theme). 

Anyway,

I'm posting this because I've received an update yesterday from 32.0.A.4.11 to 32.0.A.5.32 and the issue is still here.

Should I replace my device? Or just wait for another firmware? 

Regards,

Sebastian.

Hi @CameronT it is still the same in safe mode. Even when booting up the brightness keeps flickering.

I am getting more and more of this. Using latest software available (32.2.a.0.253).

It's a feature called "Assertive Display"! Read: http://forum.xda-developers.com/xperia-z5/general/z5-marshmallow-update-t3293060/page237

My "mystery" is no more. When I called Sony, I was told the IMEI of my phone indicates it's for use outside the US.  I bought from Tropical_Mobile on EBay, so beware.  I filed for a return with EBay, and they actually returned my money.

I now bought the unit from a US dealer, and it works perfectly.
