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.
does adding ro.lcd_min_brightness=255 to biuld.prop
disables auto brightness ?
like it sets minimum brightness and it is the highest brightness the phone reads , does it work ?
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.
Hi Every one
I have upgraded my P6 to Kitkat B512 and have noticed that although auto brightness choice is available in setting and notification panel but it doesnt work properly, meaning that ones it is set to "auto" the brightness of screen doesnt change automatically in dark and bright environments
Have any one faced this problem? is there any fix for that?
When my auto brightness was on i changed the brightness manually and since then the auto brightness is not working properly.. What should i do?
