P: Images in the app appear dark after the new UI Android update.

Hallo Adobe-Team, 

ich nutze die Lightroom App auf meinem Handy. Gestern hat mein Samsung S23 ein Update durchgeführt (UI-Version 8). Sobald ich die App öffne, wird mein Bild zuerst normal angezeigt, nach kürzester Zeit wird es abgedunkelt. Nach eigener Recherche liegt es am Display vom Handy. Ich habe alles versucht um die Grundeinstellung zu ändern, jedoch ohne Erfolg. Wenn ich das Foto exportiere oder einen Screenshot erstelle, wird das Bild mit der richtigen Belichtung dargestellt. 
Eine Bearbeitung in der App ist nicht mehr möglich. Ich muss zur Überprüfung das Bild jedes mal exportieren. 

Können Sie mir hier weiterhelfen? 

 

Viele Grüße,

Dominik Reigl

      Same problem using the app on an Android phone. The app is unusable with this bug.

       

      No problem on iPad or PC.

        I am also experiencing the same issue.

        It has been occurring since 5 February (JST).

        My device is an AQUOS R9.

        I found a workaround: Disable HW Overlays

        1. Enable Developer Options (Tap Build Number 7 times).
        2. Scroll down to the Hardware accelerated rendering section.
        3. Turn ON "Disable HW overlays".

        As soon as this is toggled, the image brightness in Edit mode returns to normal.

        The caveat of this workaround is that it resets after each reboot.

          Is that an IOS only thing? Tapping the build number in “about Lightroom” does nothing for me.

          This is for Android. More detailed guide:

          1. Open phone settings
          2. Search for “About phone”
          3. Open “Software information”
          4. Tap on “Build number” seven times
          5. Go back to the main settings menu
          6. Scroll all the way down and open “Developer options”
          7. Scroll down to the Hardware accelerated rendering section.
          8. Turn on "Disable HW overlays".

               I am having the same bug, I am already trying absolutely everything. And it happens to me from yesterday afternoon and update the computer today to UI8 so I do not think it is the update of the operating system. It just started to happen, I can no longer edit from the phone, and I use it a lot to work with.
