Is auto brightness primarily controlled by the from itself or the me kernel? I ask this because I've flashed a few roms and the I'm currently settled on the codename android rc-2.0.
Love it but the auto brightness stinks. It seems to pop bright and pop dim at the most random of times. Maybe stock did this as well but since it gradually fades bright or dim its not very noticeable.
Currently on a Franco kernel variant milestone 3.08 that came with the rom. I even played with the auto brightness settings and values in the interface settings. But still get random changes in brightness that are annoying. Popping bright and popping low.
My question is how can I fix this? Any patches I'm overlooking? I've done a day of research and found hints of fixes but no links to them. Any one recommend a better kernel? Maybe just switch roms? Or just use the static brightness settings?

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..
Can´t dim the brightness at all CM13
Hi,
I have an issue were I can´t dim the brightness at all!
Killing my eyes!
Any solution?
With last 3.5.2 is been solved
so i buy this phone for a very good price, so far all perfect, only little concern is that auto brightness maybe is not working nice
i set auto brightness on, and i reduce the brightness manual for about 1/4
but sometimes i notice that the brightness in screen is almost in max and it shouldn´t be
is this bug?
thank you
I'm rocking the build 9. and sometimes I'm having this issue. but, it's a minor bug i guess.
no one else with this problem? because some guy i know also have this issue
there is any good app that fix auto brightness
Yeah, auto-brightness in OP3 is far from perfect, but at least it's a lot better now than it was in early OOS versions.
You might want to try "Lux" to set your own behavior for auto-brightness, but bear in mind that it take some time for it to "learn" what brightness you want in specific situations. Ofc you'll have to do some manual adjustments during that time.

I got a a70 today and I love it but one issue is very annoying. I like the brightness high(about 80%) and sometimes without a reason the brightness goes down even tho the slider is still at the same level.When the brightness goes down, if I move the slider 50 to 100 there's no difference the brightnes stays the same. After a while it comes back to the good level. It happens a lot when I'm using the phone and charging at the same time, I assume its because the phone is too hot but sometimes it's not that hot and it still happens. Any way to fix that ? The adaptive brightness is off !
When I got the issue, if I reboot the phone, the brightness is okay for the first few seconds and then it goes down so it is most likely a software issue, not a hardware issue.
Thanks for the help.
turn off the adaptive brightness
Make sure you have the latest firmware. There was am issue with brightness on the earlier releases, not sure if it was exactly what you're seeing or not but worth a shot.
Also, don't run the brightness soo high. It's a sure fire way to cause turn-in. I find less than 50 is more than enough unless I'm in direct light
Bug
It's a software bug. I'm on latest fw and brightness is still glitchy. January 2020 and still not fixed.
Hi, I recently updated to Android 10
Since then we have a problem with the brightness of the screen
I every recommend stopping the night mode and auto brightness. I did it but it doesn't help.
build number . QKQ1.191002.002.V11.0.7.0.QDLMIXM
I did soft and hard reset
but the problem is not fixed.
When I'm out, the phone becomes unusable. I don't see anything from the sun.
Please help.
during the day in the sun the phone can not be used
Are you sure Adaptive brightness is turned off ? if not go search brightness in the settings then turn off adaptive brightness.
Also is it worth upgrading to Android 10, performance wise ? cause I'm using pie but I'm scared that my phone might lag on games with android 10
Yes, Adaptive brightness is turned off
Where can I download Android 9 official rom?
I don't want a root image
