Auto Screen Brightness Erratic

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..

Aggressive Adaptive Brightness on OP5T

Hi,
My OP5T has a very aggressive brightness levels..
Whenever I increase the slider to 40%, it will revert back to 10%..
This was not happening earlier OP3...
Is this because of Nougat?
Are there anybody else who is experiencing the same problem...
Can it be improved
Thanks,
Shyam

I have terrible auto brightness too. Don't know the reason but it's not a hardware issue, thankfully.
I've been using velis auto brightness for a few days and I like it quite a bit. Getting 6 hours screen on time with a minimum brightness of 30%.

Using Lux here. The stock auto brightness is useless really.

Lux made my camera stop working, front and back. I wish the dev would come back and update his app. It's far and away the best auto brightness app there is AINEC.
Apparently the app itself will stop working alltogether on Oreo.

Ah okay, well still on Nougat and all is working great so not complaining :good: Switching to Oreo will have to wait a bit longer then

Thanks a lot, man. Velis is very helpful. Hope developers will fix this problem soon.

Redmi note 5 AI minimum brightness problem

Hello All,
I want to buy note 5 AI phone but when I tested it, I noticed at 0% brightness makes the phone completely dark and couldn't be seen even at 40% brightness and even at night !!!!
Also at 100% brightness with sunlight, the screen is hardly being seen
This problem is noticed with many devices of note 5 AI and I'm confused about buying this phone for this disadvantage, Is it hardware issue or software issue, If it's software issue, Is MIUI 10 or any update could solve this problem or not ???
Thank you all in advance

Question Adaptive brightness

Anyone that has updated to the latest firmware, are you having issues with adaptive brightness? Mine is super sensitive! It's adjusting the brightness within seconds in the same lighting. Something isn't right every since updating mine. I had to turn the setting off.

Mine is a bit low during evening in the house...but at least it remains pretty steady.

Not having that issue.

Updated to .017 and I am still having an adaptive brightness issues being very sporadic jumping up and down when the light is dim.

December update and auto brightness is still ****ty. Worst in any phone I have used. This is so annoying. Maybe Google can just kang the files from Samsung

Can’t believe it’s not better. Thanks for the confirmation. Mine was not as bright as it needed to be but now it jumps like you described.

I just got my Pixel 6 Pro and so far the adaptive brightness has been really good

Mine was really wonky after updating. But after adjusting it a few times throughout the day, it has stabilized and auto-adjusts fine now.

Question Brightness Issues

Hello
Ever since I updated my OS to MIUI 13 from MIUI 12.58, my phones brightness settings have changed and the minimum brightness I can set it to is still hella bright.
I remember not even being able to see anything on my phone at night with the brightness at its lowest settings.
Also dark mode had changed and does not produce the same results as with MIUI 12
Just want to know if this has happend to anyone else as well or is this a onetime thing and if there is a way to fix (retrieve the old settings)
