So this is the issue I'm having and I want to know if its just me or what. On stock jellybean for the Sprint Gnex. When using auto brightness and going into a bright lit room the screen brightness will raise. But when you leave the room it will not lower the screen brightness. It sticks at whatever brightness level is raised too until you lock the screen and then it resets. I have verified the light sensor is reading the lux levels and such. Is this happening on other people phones as well? And if so is there any known fixes for it.

This is happening to me as well. I am running Paranoid Android 2.0 at the moment. I was in bed, completely dark room, and turned the brightness to auto. It stayed at the full brightness setting until i locked and unlocked again.
It does for me.....but takes a few seconds

Did it work properly after that or will it still not dim when leaving a bright room until you lock and unlock.
I have tried holding my finger over the sensor for like a minute and it still wouldn't lower. I'm trying to find a reasonable fix for it. I've read adjusting the levels in the framework apk will fix it but I haven't gotten that to work yet.
Crazy part is. If you use an app to make your own custom levels it starts working. Same thing with cm10 if you use the built in options to set custom levels. But for whatever reason is doesn't want to work on stock for me.

OK. So this is wild and awesome at the same time. I flashes the newest version of rujellin last night. I left auto brightness enabled over night. Woke up today and its working. How crazy is that. As soon as I disabled and enabled it to see if it took. Stopped working again. It has to be in the phone or the code one. When I say code I mean Google code.

I haven't used stock JB, but CM10's auto brightness is great, especially all the advanced settings
It seems to be slowly starting to work. Its crazy. Makes me wonder if some info is getting left behind when I do a full restore to stock. Thanks for the info. I just want to know its not just me.

Edit. I was wrong. It wasn't working that was the screen dimming before it locked. After a some reading and searching xda it seems that this is the default behavior for the auto brightness feature on android. I'm not sure if this is correct or not but the ammount of people saying that versus saying otherwise is greater so Im going to have to agree.

After I bought my Mozart for 3months,I have realised that the auto screen brightness function seems like not working on my device at all, no matter under what condition,even in an extremely dark room,the screen brightness is still in very high level,it is painful...especially for my eyes,and it is kind of wasting the battery. Anyone here, experience the same?
Agreed, I have to manully vhange to e.g. high and then turn on autobrigthness then it stays high.
Same here with HD7, have to manually change the brightness.
The brightness on my HD7 does change, but it doesn't change much between bright sunlight and total darkness. It needs to change a lot more than it does.
All we need is a "sensitivity" slider so we can set the degree of change caused by different lighting conditions.

samsung focus had quite a bit of hardware issues related to screen and I sent it back. Now its flawless
dell venue pro surprisingly hasn't had huge issues
I could be imagining, but it seems to me that if i choose low, then turn on auto adjust, it does auto adjust but is inclined towards darker settings. Conversely when I choose hi and turn on the auto adjust, it adjusts, but is inclined towards brighter settings. Anyone else notice this?

works perfectly on my Samsung Focus. Though i do hate the manual low brightness setting, it is still very bright even when manually set to low. i m guessing thats an issue with all SAMOLEDs.
My Focus is not good at all using Automatic Setting. It's my Second Focus, and same results with both phones. Slow to change, and usually not enough adjustment when it's needed. Like, if I'm in bed with the light off, it does not go to lowest setting. If I do a manual Low setting, it gets dimmer. Same with bright. In very bright sunlight, it never goes to the Top. I need to manually adjust to get it all the way up. I was hoping NoDo would fix it, but it didn't.
Here it is bad.
I got blind every morning. Probably it would be better to look at the sun than look at my phone screen.
HTC Trophy.

Yes, I had my phone next to my spouses. She had hers set to high, then set to auto adjust and I had mine sent to low then auto adjust.
In the same lighting condition my was ligther than hers, and was on the ligther side all around. Conversely, I switched mine to high and hers to low and it was the exact reverse.
So there ARE high, medium, and low auto-adjust ranges... Interesting. Thanks for checking that, I would've had no way to test that. Good to know.

I have an Xperia Play currently on the stock ROM, fully updated.
I noticed that sometimes when playing some games, the screen seems to flicker as if it is changing the brightness settings very rapidly.
I did a Google and could only find a few other people having the same issue.
Is this just a normal thing with auto brightness? Sucks that you can't turn it off...
Cheers
You can turn it off, in the update 2.3.4, the Nordic Generic one, at the mo..works quite well with it off, screen looks a lot brighter(obviously!).
I was always under the assumption that auto brightness ran more battery with it's sensor always being on, at least that's what happened with my last phone.
Did you notice the screen flicker im describing?
Update to 2.3.4 to turn it off, or buy hatcyl's 'disable auto brightness' for .99$..
the auto brightness app requires root so make sure you are rooted before you buy.

Yeah, in exactly the same way, also if the light in the room changed, or you would put the phone in shadow for a second, like when moving it, the sensor seems to go into overdrive.
Hello little birdies.
I am having an issue with my auto-brightness and I would like to know if anyone else has experienced this.
Whenever my auto-brightness shines through the power of the sun (goes to 100%) it seems to get stuck at full brightness and my already not so good screen-on time takes a dip and I always notice this too late . I use the quick settings widget which is preinstalled and the A for auto-brightness is set but when I click it the screen immediately lowers the brightness, while the A for auto-brightness remains, and a vain in my forehead pops.
Furthermore after checking badass battery monitor it shows that my screen is often at 100% sun shadowing brightness. Today it was at full mutated power the whole time. Anyone got an idea as to what could cause this? Anyone?
PS. You might have noticed in the text above that I think the screen is really bright when at full power and that I can see the screen perfectly during a warm ball-soothing sunny day.
Yes, I have a bug with auto brightness too. It seems to deactivate itself. I have activated it a couple of times and everytime it deactivate itself at 100 % after some use.
I have an international HTC One X with the latest 1.29.401.11 update.
Glad to know I'm not the only one. I will soon factory reset my phone to check if it magically gets better.
I noticed this last night. My phone was blindingly bright and I didn't understand why it was set to 100%. I set it back to Auto and so far its still on Auto. i will have to keep an eye on this.
HTC really need to fire the monkeys they have working as coders. I guess if their software is not fixed up in next couple of weeks there might be a whole lot of people, me included, who will migrate to the SIII (given of course that it doesn't have a gazillion bugs as well).
I've been trying all day to recreate the problem but ist not doing it. I put my phone in the sun, I tried using the camera app, I used the video app with its 100% brightness setting, but the phone is still showing Auto brightness.
Any ideas on what triggers 100% brightness?
I have the same problem with mine. It's just randomly turns off auto brightness
Sent from my HTC One X using xda premium
I don't know either what triggers it. It seems to deactivate at either 0 % or 100 %.
I don't have many apps installed, if I just do some web surfing and put it to sleep, when I wake it up the auto brightness is deactivated, in maybe 1 of 4 times. Irritating.
For whatever reason i haven't been getting the auto brightness bug for the past three days. Not sure how it resolved itself since I didn't get any software updates.
If you watch a video you can change the brightness and will stick and not go back to your original settings.

No, that's not the trigger. I investigated that on my phone and found no link.
I take that back. You are right! It seems the brightness setting in the movie play is the culprit. Although it doesn't always do it. One more thing for the chimps at HTC to fix.

Yesterday the auto brightness bug kicked in right before my eyes. I was browsing the web in total darkness in bed, when suddenly I was blinded by 100% brightness. So it's not just the movie player brightness that causes this issue.

Just got the autbrightness bug with the camera app. Everything seems to ****ing set it off now.. :banghead:

Yeah. That's because the camera jacks up brightness for outdoor visibility. They need to have an option to disable that.

I realize that, however it doesn't always do it. Also sometimes it will kick into 100% brightness without using the camera or movie player. It seems completely random to me.
mine is stuck at zero. started this morning and I did record a video actually.
auto just takes it.to zero.
but also, if i change it directly from the srttings menu, its not.effecting at all, just staying at the same previous custom level.
whrn using widget, just turns it to zero.
opened the video player, changed brightness level and its normal now. it was in the middle, the video brightness level
ok just edited this post and its malfunctioning again.. arrrgh!
Try an application that controls autobrightness, it should fix the problem. I would recommend Lux Dash.
So it is the widget, powertoggle.
Once I fix the issue by changing video brightness, it works fone, till I toggle the widget to use auto-brightness.
Several comments on PlayStore also confirms this with several phones.
Just don't use auto brightness from powertoggle. It is actually doffetent.from what OP describes, but.people may come up to this thread while searching, so I think it willbe useful to post here.

For some reason starting yesterday, my phone brightness automatically goes to minimal brightness everytime i lock it. The brightness slider is on MAX (and it stays on max even when the brightness dies). Auto Brightness is OFF. Power Saving is Off.
Presus Kernel
Omega V16 rom.
nothing modified in the phone in a long time. After the issue happened, i updated the kernal, and still nothing.
The only thing that happened differently over the last few days was i used my phone too much to the point the battery would die. (and in general the screen turns to minimal brightness past 5%, but somehow this got STUCK. even when the phone is charging

See if this helps :http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1970870
Still doesn't solve the issue.
Wiped the device, new rom (Wanam), New Kernel (adam's).
Still the same issue.
Here's what happens:
Full Brightness, Lock screen,..... Unlock, Minimal Brightness
OR
Full Brightness, Lock screen,..... Unlock, (.5 second of full brightness), Minimal Brightness
Just to be clear, the problem isn't that the stock brightness isn't bright enough. The problem is that the brightness setting gets turned down to zero for no reason, (while the settings and slider) are still on max
Do you have any apps that might be doing it? That's the only thing I can think of, maybe you've set up a Tasker profile up wrong and is causing it or something.

well tried Wanam with Adams kernel
then
tried wana with Stock kernel . Wiping before every install.
Both didnt work.
So i wiped every thing. /Data, /SdCard, /Cachem etc. literally everything. Then installed wanam with adams kernel. And somehow that fixed the issue
Anyone else having this issue? Sometimes in well lit indoor environments, it will be dimmer than I expect and then suddenly ramp up to full brightness.
Likewise in dark environments it will be dim and ramp up suddenly as well.
Yeah, I have that aswell, sometimes it's not perfect at all, I hope there will be some optimizations.

Glad I am not alone. Hope they'll be good with software updates since currently they are known for not being good in that department.
I was really happy to see that option in settings. However I was irritated by how erratic it was. Disabled it.
Even ambient display doesn't work correctly for me everytime. It's kinda random too
To be honest, I think it's partly a Marshmallow issue, as none of my MM phones have had decent auto brightness

I wish I could agree. My Nexus 6 had great auto brightness on L and M. Never had this type of behavior until the OP3.
Might be because OnePlus has implemented their own content adaptive back light like on the OPO. I turned it off by setting a 0 in the file /sys/devices/virtual/graphics/fb0/cabc
Not sure if that file is there on the OP3 but it's worth a shot

I turned it off in the settings and it was fine. I just wish I could have normally functioning auto brightness lol.
I just got my OP3 and have an issue with adaptive brightness, not sure if this is a behaviour that others have seen or if I have a defective device, perhaps someone could advise? My phone is running 3.2.1 and is fully stock, I have adaptive brightness enabled as I always have on whatever phone I use, when I activate the screen or it turns on at the receipt of a notification the brightness is at the approximate level it should be according to the position of the brightness slider and is perfectly usable. After a few minutes, this varies a bit but never more than five minutes, the screen dims to what I think is the lowest brightness level which during the day makes it difficult to see anything on screen. I can get back the previous brightness setting by turning the screen off and then immediately back on but then after a further few minutes it will dim again. The phone is not responding to any change in the ambient lighting as this is always constant and there is no obstruction to the sensor on the front of the phone. I can get a constant brightness level by turning this setting off but it can be a pain having to manually adjust when I go outdoors for example and this isn't the way I like to use my phone. So, is this a hardware fault or just a very poor implementation of adaptive brightness? I'd appreciate any feedback as this is spoiling what is otherwise a great phone.
Thanks
What should we do for this scenario. Should we raise a complaint or wait for an update. I have my phone in warranty. I am sure all of us would have it in warranty.
I've had issues with that feature since day one with my op3. No update has fixed the adaptive brightness issue, and it's the same with all of the custom ROMs I've tried. Has to be an issue with the phone. I'm hoping a software update fixes it because it's an obvious issue. In dark light, my screen dims so much that I can't really read anything on my screen.
Auto brightness is just bad on the OP3.. I've installed Lux to ease some of the problems but I'd like the standard AB to work correctly and not need an additional app..
