Has anyone noticed that their auto brightness is kind of broken after upgrading to JB? For example, if I'm in a really bright area and go into dark, the screen does not dim itself, however this can be fixed by going into settings and un-checking and checking the auto brightness box.
Obviously this is pretty annoying... Is there a fix for this?

I've noticed the same. It stays bright a lot of the time in dark places. I haven't noticed it staying dim in sunlight though.
To me, the way it was before seemed broken. It would constantly change its brightness level. This was effected by the light reflected off clothing, etc
I love it now

He he good one
But I Dont find any issue with it either. In fact, if you dig in, you'll find the process consumes 30% lesser battery than before ie. Screen + sensor timing and refresh for both...

I'm actually pretty sure this is the default behaviour for ICS as well its only 3rd party roms that added in the ability to auto dim as well as auto bright the stock way is it only goes dimmer if the screen turns off and back on other wise it stays at the maximum brightness
Sometimes if I'm using the widget to move from full to auto brightness and tap very fast, it'll sit at full brightness. If I toggle slower its fine. Definitely some bug there.
I think auto brightness is much better in 4.1.1. Before it was far too dim, now it seems just right in all conditions.
I'm using the app "Lux Auto Brightness" and it couldn't be doing a better job.
Definitely check it out if you're unhappy like I was with the stock auto-brightness

that has been the default behaviour from ages for stock goole rom:
the autobrightness only can increase...it doesn't decrease, unless u lock and ulock the phone or check and uncheck autobrightness
that the intended behaviour google want..the brightness get increased, but not decrease..
So you're saying that the auto feature in 4.0.4 was broken then?

Yes, it delayed the lock screen and when I set my phone down under a bright lamp and it woke up hours later in pure darkness, it might soft reset.
happens to me as well on stock 4.1.1. if I'm in a dark room and put the phone under a lamp or something, the brightness goes up instantly, but it never comes down until I lock/unlock the screen again.
in fact most of the time I think the thing is too bright (but that may be because I come from a nexus one always on the lowest setting since the autobrightness there didnt really work well).
it's a minor annoyance definitely
Same Problem with Note2!
Hi guys,
found this thread during my search for this brightness issue. My Galaxy Note 2 has the same strange behavior. But I figured out something: when I lay down the device to a table or bring it to 0 degrees in my hand, automatic brightness it's decreasing perfectly! Can you confirm this behaviour at your nexus? I guess it's a kind of strange Samsung " feature", maybe?
Thanks, Michael
Ahoy, I was also researching my auto brightness issues when I found this thread. I can confirm the behavior from the previous post on my SGS2 on Jelly Bean 4.1.2.
If the phone is in vertical position and I do the lamp test, it will stay on maximum brightness no matter what, but in horizontal position dimming works perfectly.
Regards,
zytrel.
I have noticed that when I am watching videos on my Galaxy note 2 N7100 that the screen brightness will jump from whatever it is set at to a higher brightness and jump back immediately after. Its like its flickering between brightnesses even when auto brightness is off and set to full and smart stay is off, it manages to jump up and down and is quite annoying whilst enjoying a video. It happens regularly (every 2 mins for 10-15 seconds).
Any clues to what is causing it and a possible fix. I am running stock XXALIH
Thanks
Same with my friend..
I own a n7100 but I don't experience this problem..
But I have a friend who keeps bugging me that such problem exists..
Dark, low brightness he said..
Just up-ing this question..

Please check with the screen mode option in display. Set it to Dynamic and check again.
Does anybody notice that the screen randomly dims and returns right back to bright even though lighting around your area hasn't changed. My galaxy s2 didn't do this even at auto brightness. I love the phone but this is kinda annoying. So should I take this to be normal.
Hi everyone
I bought my Galaxy Note II (GT-N7100) from local phone shop in Cambodia last month. I really love this phone because I don't have to wait for anything I want. But it has problem with light sensor. I always put screen brightness by automatic and for the first several days it work fine but after that when I use it outside under sunlight the light sensor didn't automatic brighter the screen and then I have to go to setting and unchecked the automatic option or I need to restart my phone to get it to work.
Is there any solution for this problem? it really annoying me.
Thanks you in advance for any help. :crying:
