Searched.
Running the stated ROM. I find that whenever I return to the camera app the brightness setting is at -4.0
Now, at first I thought it was running automatically. Never having heard of that mod I searched for it. There is no automatic way to measure the light, or lack thereof, that the lens is receiving.
This is very annoying as I have to set the brighness levels back towards the middle of the meter everytime I use the camera. All the other levels keep, just not the brightness.
Any input would be much appreciated

Hi,
My automatic brightness setting just leaves the brightness exactly on what it was before. E.g If I manually put slider to max, and turn on automatic brightness it stays on max (even if in a dark room), and if I put it minimum and go outside or shine a torch on it, it doesn't go higher at all.
I'm not sure when this first started happening, it always used to, I'm running ARHD 5.1.11 (a ginger-sense rom), with golauncher ex. I can't think what's causing it. Elixir says that the sensor is working (the numbers adjust as I put light on the sensor).
Any ideas would be much appreciated.
Not a direct fix for your problem but I downloaded OnOff Widget Pack. This has a great brightness control. Running Auto Brightness for most situations seems to be a drain on the battery.
I've seen a couple posts about delays with adaptive brightness, but this is a different item. I'm seeing that the adaptive brightness alters the brightness a little too dramatically. In a somewhat dark room (not pitch black) the brightness will be at absolute minimum even when the brightness is about 1/3 up on the slider. In a moderately bright room that same brightness setting will be near maximum.
Does anyone else notice this as an issue? I'm just wondering if it's normal (ie, software calibration issue) or if the brightness sensor might not be seated correctly.
It's normal. Or at least it sounds like it is working the same way mine is. And yes, IMO it is a little too sensitive. The Lux app works beautifully if you want an alternative. Also, the goog is known for tweaking this feature over time with updates.
I've noticed this too. The biggest thing for me is walking down the street at dusk (so not dark out yet) I can't read the screen as it turns it all the way down, then, when I walk under a street light, it turns it all the way up to full! It's one extreme or the other, there seems to be no middle ground.
In other words "adaptive brightness has mind of its own!"
This is why I have always kept this setting off. The brightness just changing on its own always annoyed me.
When it works properly (and it should) for ones uses, it's great, it's automatic, what's not to like? It's a pita to always have to change brightness manually just to see a phone display depending on ambient lighting which varies immensely for many users.

I agree. I have it set to maybe around 15-20% (centered over the WiFi symbol below it) and I never need to touch it. Gets dark enough for night driving and bright enough to read outside. Never found it stuck on one or the other when it shouldn't be.

If you buy the app Lux you can customize how it adapts your brightness. The free version is good to but you have to use mostly default settings. By default it only adapts brightness when the screen turns on.
You don't want to give your significant other yet another reason to yell at you while you're reading XDA in bed. Rate this thread to express what you think of the OnePlus 3T's display minimum dimness. A higher rating indicates that the display can get extremely dim, ideal for reading in very dark environments.
Then, drop a comment if you have anything to add!
i feel that they need to dim it more, it's still annoying
One thing I noticed is that the phone offers EXTREME fine tune-ing of the lower brightness end.....when I adjust the adaptive brightness, if I click and drag the setting towards the bottom end, there is tons of adjustability available to the user to find exactly how much brightness you want. Having said that, the lowest settings appears quite dim to me (but not 'dangerously' dim)
The lowest setting for me seems to be extremely bright still, for night usage at least. Every other phone I've used has been able to get far more dim.
Anyone know of any way to lower it further actually?

root it and with the help of xposed (or without) you can edit the parameters to make it even dimmer.

This phone is love
OnePlus 3T is just an amazing phone, I loved it
Got the device for a few weeks and there are already burn ins on the left side
If you don't want the hassle of rooting and running xposed you could just install an app from play store, I use lower brightness by Nu-Kob, nothing fancy but it does the job
I'm using rr with magisk (if any of that even matters when it comes to brightness). When the lights are off and I have the brightness all the way up I can barely look at it. But when I turn the brightness all the way down with the lights off it is perfect and I can see everything very clearly and my girlfriend or has an s6 and she is always jealous that when she turns her brightness down it's still blinding. So I think it's great.
Try Velis Auto Brightness https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.velis.auto.brightness&hl=en
no ads and it works great, tons of parameter to adjust as well.
At night, the brightness is way too much. Observing the display, f.e. playing PoGo in a park at night, you almost get night blind. If you switch automatic brightness off, there is one more step down, but this one is way too dark and without any contrast. Compared to my previous device, it's really bad. I hope, it gets fixed, if possible by the hardware at all.
I also think that the minimum brightness is not dim enough.
I rectify this using an app called Twilight - no root required - which allows to dim + apply red filter
It's usually okay for me, however I use Dimly if I need to go even lower.
Hi everyone. I haven't seen the related kinds of thread so I decided to post it. My device model is G3223.
tl;dr: It's too bright at minimum brightness during nighttime.
So during daytime the screen looks perfectly fine, no problem reading under the sunlight. But when night comes the problem arises because the phone can't go dimer, which means that the phone is still quite bright compare to my other devices when I am trying to read in bed even though the brightness is set at minimum.
Does anyone also facing this issue? Or if it's device model related?
I have the G3221 and I have the same issues. But I found 2 solutions to the problem. (well kind of) if you disable automatic brightness ? setting it will be way too bright. After enabling the auto brightness you can lower it even further. But if it still feels too bright, you can change the white balance settings to 255 which will lower the brightness even further without actually affecting anything. I hope it helps a little. ?

Problem solved. Thanks a lot. I don't know why Sony doesn't allow us to change the brightness to the real minimum point without using automatic brightness.
For white balance I set my phone to a warm colour. For (255,255,255) [r,g,b] the screen looks too cold though, and it can also lower the brightness. I am currently using (255,147,0) so it's at least better than the original setting (0,0,0)
Speaking of warm tones, sony also hides the blue light filter in the actions section which is almost invisible and many people don't even go there. You cannot enable it otherwise. They need work on their stuff.
You can use the Twilight app to use the phone at night without stressing your eyes. It works for me when I'm reading things. ?
And of course you can use this to lower the intensity of the screen's light if not the overall brightness.
Hope this helps.

Thanks for your advice. As far as I know, apps such as twilight only draw an overlay on the screen, which means it actually doesn't affect the brightness in any ways. It just seems to be darker.
In contrast, decron04's solution can actually decrease the brightness. Don't know why Sony doesn't allow users to minimize brightness without using auto brightness.
Hi
Does anyone else find the adaptive brightness feature useless on the OnePlus 7t? It is supposed to learn how you like it and I adjust it to where I want but it always seems to forget this settin and goes too dim on an evening. I adjust it again thinking it might stick this time but then goes at back to being dim.
Cheers
Same issue for me. I decided to keep it manual.
Apparently it takes a few days to learn the brightness you like. I'll give it a week or so and adjust it manually when needed to see if it sorts itself out.
I've opted to use velis auto brightness until they hopefully fix it. I gave it 5 or so days and it still dropped too low in dim light even though I was manually moving the slider up each time.
Velis auto brightness seems to work pretty well on Android 10 so far. I'm don't think it works on the lock screen and some of system settings screens but everything else seems fine.
