Upgraded to Mango beta a few days ago, and i noticed that the phone wasn't letting me turn auto adjust on power on anymore. I thought it was just a problem with beta, and decided to wait until the official update came around. Now I have the official update installed, and i still can't turn on auto brightness adjust.
Basically when i go to the setting, it's on medium, and when i turn it on, then press back. It shows medium again in the grayed out summary of settings. When i go back into brightness again, auto adjust is turned off. Tried a number of different things and it just wont stay on. Anyone having this problem too?

Hi there, just wanna mention that i did search the forum, but didn't find an answer, just to be clear on that.
So, yesterday i got a desire, switched from a wildfire which i had for 2 months, there is a bit more power and fun to be had with a desire.
But as with the wildfire, i noticed that the auto brightness function isn't doing so well.
If i get up at night and it's all black in my room, the screen is way to bright, i have to use the power control to bring it down, but the downside is that it disables the auto brightness.
Is there anything that let's you tell auto brightness, if it's pitch black, brightness should be this low and so forth?
I've rooted and flashed with leedroid.
I'm running LeeDroid and I don't know if it's recalibrated or what, but it's definitely better than with the stock ROM.
Edit: Just saw I didn't read your post well enough and you've got LeeDroid as well, so my answer is not too helpful... sorry...
The Cyanogen ROMs have settings to adjust brightness.
This was one of the things that annoyed me about the desire.....so much that I decided to fully root this thing and do things my way lol
So I removed the stock ROM, Radio, HBOOT and Recovery and flashed some custom ROMs and now automatic brightness works JUST FINE ^^
Edit: Does leedroid come with automatic brightness settings?...hav u checked under the Display settings? becuase most of the ROMs that support automatic brightness needs to have it enabled and setup to work properly

Well, yes leedroid has automatic brightness, but as i mentioned, it's still too bright at night, i want to tell auto brightness that if i does not detect any light, it should turn the brightness as low as possible and so forth.
Do you turn the brightness down with power control you disable auto brightness and have to manually enable it again.
Even tho there is only one sensor, instead of having a preset value for different amount of light detected, it could be smarter.
Ex. auto brightness is on, it's dark, you go into brightness and turn it further down, phone asks you if you are turning it down because you think it's too bright, you click yes, phone learns that you want lower brightness when it's very dark, you click no, phone does nothing because you had another reason for adjusting brightness.
The next time, phone remembers that you want low brightness when it's dark, so you don't have to do it again.
Hi everybody, I recently updated my Eonon Androud HU to 5.1.1 using the first 5.1.1 custom ROM listed here. The DSA Prerooted ROM. Thus far it's been functional and fits my needs over the Malaysk ROM. However this ROM has some sort issue with it automatically dimming the screen to low, even though it's been set to 100%. When sliding the brightness slider to 100, the screen will still dim on its own, regardless of the adjustment still being set at 100%. I have gone through all the settings and found nothing that can help me. The display submenu only displays the option "Brightness". Which is just the standard slider to adjust the brightness. There is no option for Auto, Low, Bright, etc.
I've downloaded some apps to control the brightness to see if that would help, but something on this ROM is overriding any brightness apps from working. I even tried installing an xposedMTC module as it had an automatic dimming option, hoping to deactivate it completely but no luck. The way my car works is my headlights have an automatic DRL. When I turn my DRL's off, the headunit seems to activate it's full brightness, until I turn the automatic light control back on which turns on my DRL's, then the screen goes dim again. It's as if the headunit is going by the whole "Oh your headlights are on, it must be dark outside. Let me adjust the brightness to low for you".
Any help would be appreciated. I hope it's a simple fix. Thank you!

That's one of the main differences between Malaysk and DSA. DSA told me look out the window and figure it's night time. Secondly he told me to go to max at least two or even three times in a row. It will then STAY 100% bright till you reboot.

Whoa, thanks for the quick reply and useful information. Is there absolutely no way to bypass having to do that method? As that would be a chore doing it multiple times after exiting and entering my car multiple times a day. Maybe a simple build.prop edit possibly? Just naming ideas.
There is... Mtc manager has settings in it for brightness settings due to time. You can turn it off there. This didn't work for me so I went another route with changing some file. Its all detailed in the thread as to how.

You could disable brightness control entirely or just alter the brightness levels.
It's in file /system/etc/install-recovery.sh - at its end, comment out all 14 lines after comment line reading "#Brightness control (last, always)", in order to disable the algorithm.
OR, change line reading "nb=5 ### Night Brightness ###" to a different value for the night brightness (nb), eventually equal to day brightness (db, on next line).
Use a root explorer, or edit a copy of file on PC (with notepad+ if on Windows) and copy it back - with a root explorer or manually, if you can. File mode: 0755, owner & group: root:root.
If script /system/etc/install-recovery.sh gets "damaged", you must reinstall the firmware, but with NO wipe all, so fairly quickly and no loss of settings and apps.
Editing of script could also be done with @devilsoft app (with a name I can't recall).

Hi @brian117 !
In fact, there is a simple fix I found lately.
You need to enter factory settings first.
Go to SETTINGS -> Factory settings -> enter code: m123456
When you're there, go to last page, and tick the "Key light" option.
Now press "Apply" and "Exit". Confirm reboot.
It worked with me - now the screen has full brightness regardless of the car lights on or off (in Poland we need to have the lights on whole day, as well). Now you can use a software dimming, like MTC to auto dimm the screen according to actual day time. I did this. Works like a charm! (I set dimming after sunset to 75% brightness)
I noticed yesterday that my screen stays on, not on AOD, but on the home screen, until I turn it off, then AOD turns on. I've already checked the settings, the timeout is set to 15 seconds.
Anyone?
I don't have any fix but maybe try a different time setting and see it that sticks. Do you have any app installed possibly that keeps the screen on?
I've tried 30 seconds, 2 minutes, etc. I have to manually turn it off. I should also mention that I'm currently using the Oreo beta phase 2, and most of the apps I have are Verizon/Samsung bloat. I have very few other apps because I have no way to backup data without root.
Well, I got tired of the bugs with Oreo, so I went back to rooted Nougat. No more permanently-on screen issue.
Display time out keeps going back to 30 s. I changed my power modes quite a bit so far. It may be when I turn OFF the battery in the settings dropdown toggle. It calls itself optimizing, when it's turned off. I was able to carefully set options for battery saving with toggle on, and checked that turning ON the battery toggle didn't cause the 30 s reversion.
I need a fixed 10 minute set. I can't stand the 30 s reverting because the fingerprint sensor has been so faulty so far with waking it back up.
Same problem as me, we need to report to samsung to solve in next sw update
Right. Back to 30 s time then off after every other restart. Latest updates too.
well according to settings>device care it says that optimization happens once a day. That's probably why it is happening.
I may disable it. I def recommend that you set an extremely long time (files(Samsung A70s native file manager app)>settings)before it auto delets your files. Like 200 months would be probably ok.
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.
