S20 fe 5g flickering when light hits the view finder

[usernwoofeoWZ6]

My screen flickers and goes blank when sunlight hits the view finder on the phone. In the house or shade it doesn't do that. I can even use a flash light and point it at the view finder and it flickers and the screen goes blank.

Hubby & I did the update last night. Flickering randomly and totally black during direct sunlight. Samsung needs to fix this. I opened a ticket with them eariler today & they acted like not many people were having this issue.

While turning off Adaptive Brightness works around the problem successfully, I have discovered it's not necessarily Adaptive Brightness causing the issue.  It is only triggering an issue in the brightness adjustment slider/code. 

My screen flickers when the brightness is very close to maximum, but only if the phone is in bright light, and even if Adaptive Brightness is turned off.  When I am indoors, it does not flicker at all, no matter what setting or brightness I set.

This all started with the most recent software update.

Interesting. Seems you are right. Sensor overload

Same problem here too. Will try to place it in manual at full brightness.

Same! Started last Saturday! Software update hit my phone that morning and that afternoon this glitch began

I have a Galaxy S20 FE and adaptive brightness doesn't do anything to fix my issues.

Yes! Since the latest update, I have had to turn off the autobright feature. Many complaints online for this phone and recent updates doing this. I sure hope there will be another update to fix.

disable adaptive brightness and manually adjust the brightness to around 60%

[userWPp4pLqRLx]

yes this worked for me.  Hopefully these is an actual fix shortly as I like the adaptive brightness

For me happening whenever sunlight hits on screen . Irrespective of any application.
