Is anyone else having this issue? No matter what I do to adjust my settings, it remains full brightness.
Go to display settings , uncheck auto brightness , now u can adjust the brightness..... If not, reboot the device.
I noticed this myself but i am rooted , using a custom kernel and xposed with some modules so i wasn't really sure what's causing the problem. Didn't have the time yet to figure it out... Is your pixel c still stock?
Still stock. I can adjust brightness with auto brightness unchecked, but the lowest setting is incredibly bright still.
I did a reboot and after that it worked again like it should... , i just checked with mine and it's still working correctly ...

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.
Using stock 4.0.1 here, and have always had the brightness set to auto. But it never seems to do anything? If I am in a light or dark room it is always dark, often darker than the lowest brightness setting.
I am just worried that the sensor might not be working, if the phone needs to be sent back it needs to be done soon. Anyone else with this issue? I know the sensor that turns off the phone screen when in call works, but the auto brightness might use a different one.

Auto brightness is just simply low on this device. There are some hacks in the dev section to increase it...but they don't work on my ROM.
I just started using juicedefender to adjust the auto birghtness
So auto brightness itself is broken and sensor is pry OK? I wonder if there are any apps to test it.

Simply put a bright light to it and watch the screen brighten up. The sensor is fine.. auto brightness simply is a little too conservative, probably because more people would moan about battery life than screen brightness.
My auto brightness works just fine. Sometimes I have to the screen off then on for it to adjust. Other than that, the levels are fine. I'm on 4.0.3.

in settings/display enable the adaptive brigthness,
that will activate the sensor.
after you set it and its dont change the brigthness values, make a reboot .
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)
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.
