Hi Guys,
So I finally got the desire after being with an iPhone for the past 18 months. Lovely phone so far, even if it feels a little 'work in progress' in some depts.
Anyways!
Have any of you with the phone enabled auto brightness? Does it work? When I jump into the settings to enable it it seems to kick in (once i tick the auto brightness checkbox) but once I actually hit OK to save the changes the screen brightness shoots up again and then doesnt seem to react to ambient light.
weird.
I am running the t-mobile android (uk)
Yep, I have the same thing, glad it's not just me then!
I don't think I've seen it adjust by itself at all...
It works for me and I have seen it adjust.
im not sure really if it works because it always seems the same? i have changed it to 30% now which is just acceptable and we ll see if it gives any battery boost

That's the idea, auto brightness adjusts so that the screen looks the same brightness to your eye at any light level. When it's dark the brightness decreases and when it's light the brightness increases thus you see it as thee same due to the way your eye is already adjusted.

yeah Lol exactly, thats the whole point of auto screen adjustment. if you are indoors all (or most of) the time like me than keep it manual to 30-50%. otherwise leave it auto
Mine works a treat the only thing i do is when i go out the house i turn the brightness to manual and put it on full, as this is the only bad side to this phone the led does suffer in direct sun so full brightness is required.
I haven't seen any change in my screen brightness, whether in full sunlight or middle of the night in a dark room!
Is a bit annoying, would like to know if it can be fixed or we're waiting for the next firmware...
Where's the sensor ? With the Hero, placing a finger over the top part of the phone tricked the sensor but it doesn't seem to on the Desire. Interestingly though, there must be something there, the way the screen flashes up when you remove the phone from your ear

Works fine here
It seems that on my Desire the only time the automatic brightness actually tests the light is when I unlock my screen.
I can actually see the brightness change then, but if I switch lights on/off while it's already unlocked it doesn't automaticly adapt to the light.
I only checked it through the Android SDK using Dalvik Debug Monitor and the phone certainly did continuously check and correct screen brightness according to it. Visually, it was too difficult to discern what was happening and when due to my own visual limitations when the amount of light changed.

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.
Hey guys how are u all
Ihave a question can i rise the brightness up with auto brightness working
Becouse if i but mark on auto brightness icant rise up the brightness
Like ios do coz on low brightness there is avertical bending isue on my screen

That not asolution ilove my gnexus and im not thinking for replace it
Thats your only solution to banding.
Yes there is a solution just rise up the brightness and the vertical bending will dissapear but if you did you cant apply the auto brightness mode and thats the problem
Bigxie's rom let's you set the autobrightness level: it's the only one I've tried so I can't comment on whether there's other roms that do the same thing.
You can use an auto brightness app and set custom brightness levels, like mine.
Ive tried that app, free version on ics 4.0.3 and had several reboots\crashes.
One is when using pattern to unlock:
- Screen is set to turn off after 30 sec, when the screen dims before shutting off and i swipe the pattern it crashes reboots.
Also in normal operation when the screen dims at shutoff point and i do something to wake it it can crash\reboot.
I have had mainly two brightness settings, 40.0 and 130 lux (0.5mA)
40.0 was set at 21% and 130 at 33%.
When commuting on bus\train the light conditions change frequently and also that can cause the reboot\crash.

Did you get the same brightness on booting screen... HTC logo ??? if not... it may be ROM problem... if so then it is a hardware issue...

get it repaired. if its bl unlocked act proper dumb and get it done.
This bug deserved a new thread.
If you've updated your phone to cm12, 5.0.2 then DO NOT DO THE FOLLOWING:
1. in Settings>Display and lights DO NOT keep "Adaptive Brightness" and "Color Enhancement" switched on at the same time. If you do, and then EVER try to manually reduce the screen brightness to minimum, YOUR SCREEN WILL BO BLANK. PERMANENTLY. Not kidding.
AND IT WILL NOT RETURN TO WORKING CONDITION without a factory reset.
Things that won't work:
1. Pulling out the battery and trying to reboot it. Nope. Been there, done that.
Hope CM takes note of this.

Cure for it
well i have experienced it. but to avoid it you can choose the option
setting>status bar> and check Adjust brightness by sliding across the status bar.
so whenever the screen turned off you can swipe on the top from left to right so that brightness can be adjusted again!
you dont have to reset your phone.

I faced this today only.... screen went completely blank for a few sec, although I was not aware of this bug, but the brightness slider on status bar saved me....
So many bugs in this CM12.... huh...

happened to me also.... I thought it was a problem with a theme... so i initially rated it 2 stars on play store, but after i saw it was a problem with cm, i went back and gave that theme a 5 star rating...
SOLUTION!!!!
It is still possible to take control over your phone in this situation. If your screen goes blank, this doesn't means that your phone has stopped working, the phone is still functional and you just have to find a way to increase the brightness. If you ever encounter this problem just swipe the screen twice from top to bottom to open the status bar and then slide your fingers on the screen where the brightness controller is present. This will surely solve your problem without any factory reset bull****. Please note that during this complete process the screen will remain blank. I have tested it a hundred times and it works 100%.
this works ... instead of factory reset

Please someone take this in lights to cynogen devlopers
how to set the display contrast
or colour enhancement
in yu yureka
Just install vysor in your pc and plug your phone to the pc. Now control your phone using your pc and increase the brightness same wy you reduced it. No need for any factory reset. Hope this helps.
you should Try this
Facing The Phone to Direct Sunlight or if in the night. face it near to the bulb. It will adapt light from the bulb and screen works then you can turn off adaptive brightness. That's works for me.
