How does the autobrightness function? IE Normally.

I've noticed with my GNEX that it seems like all of the sudden it won't auto dim. When I unlock the device it will brighten if needed, however if I walk into a dimmer area it will not auto dim. Is this the normal behavior for the light sensor?
I'm used to my Xperia Play which would constantly adjust the screen up and down.
My auto-brightness setting sets the screen brightness lower than the lowest actual brightness setting regardless of whether I'm in light or dark.
There's a fix for it here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1377410&highlight=auto+screen+brightness
I haven't tested that out though.

Yea I was worried maybe the brightness sensor was not working since. Turns out my wife's droid 2 with CM7 acts the same way. Lowest setting until you unlock at which time it only increases the brightness, never decreasing.

[Q] Auto brightness error... Auto brightness NOT on

I've had a problem with the t989D since I got it. Here's what I want:
**Auto brightness turned OFF and the brightness remain at minimum setting.**
However, with all the roms I've tried (Stock, Juggernaut 4.1- 5.0, Tuesday) I always have the auto brightness OFF and the screen always brightens up to about 75% whenever I turn the screen back on.
Note: the settings still show as if the brightness is set to 0%, but the actual brightness coming from the screen is the same as if I turn the bar up to 75%. When I start to move the adjustment bar a slight amount for the brightness, the actual screen light drops right away. It only stays on 0% as long as I'm using it, but then is really bright again when I lock, then unlock the screen.
Is anyone else noticing this? Beyond that, is it possible to prevent the screen from adjusting it's brightness while the auto brightness nis off?
Thanks for any assistance!!

Are there any hacks to change the rules for auto brightness?

My tablet when on auto brightness becomes very dark in unlit rooms and I can barely see it videos or detail.

I am not sure if this works with stock roms, but if you install PhilZ touch recovery from the thread... http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2367151
You have options in the advanced menu to change the response time for auto brightness. The default is 1 minute, you will need to tap about 4 times to get it down to 0, as it counts up to 5.
Which sped up the delay from going from one extreme to the other in ambient lighting.
If you install his custom roms you also get options to adjust the brightness intensity in 5 steps while auto brightness is on. I found this out after some time messing with my settings.

Lux Auto Brightness - perfect app for brightness tuning - you can set you own profile - matching desired screen brightness to sensor reading, and the process is very easy.
Short info, taken from app description:
Lux isn't your ordinary brightness app. It intelligently adjusts the brightness of your display based on the environment you're in. If, for example, you step into a dimly lit room, Lux will automatically lower the brightness of your display to make it not only comfortable to read, but to also preserve battery power.
Lux provides the option to automatically adjust the backlight at fixed intervals (periodic mode), when a change in environment is detected (dynamic mode), or when the phone wakes from sleep. It's also possible to adjust the backlight manually. Simply disable automatic mode and you can use it like a traditional brightness tool!
Perhaps the best thing about Lux is that you can teach it how to behave. If the backlight is too bright or dim for your liking, simply open the provided Dashboard, adjust the brightness slider to the level you desire, then hold the link button. Lux will use this new 'link' as a reference in future.
lux and velis both work. i paid for both, but i prefer lux.

Max brightness and resolution control

Is there any way to set max brightness and lower screen resolution without going through power saving mode? Everything runs way smoother at FHD and really don't need it at max brightness at any point of time. I can customize them with medium power saving mode on but it also disables always on display and button lights which I want to keep.
Settings/display/screen resolution/pick whatever you want and reboot to get everything sized right. You can then adjust the brightness using the slider however you want.

On Full Brightness…. Auto sensor kicks in by default !!?

If I keep the brightness to the Maximum, I notice that in bright sunlight/extremely bright indoors, the screen gets Automatically even brighter and dims when the phone notices the environment is not that bright !!!!
You can experiment by shinning a flash on the top right side of the phone with slider on max brightness.
Isnt it stupid – When the user have disabled auto brightness or any power saving modes the phone keeps getting bright and dark
I cant believe Samsung has let it pass this to the production models…
bump - anybody ?
