Auto Brightness problems?

Auto brightness seems to behave very unpredictably--when I wake my phone and unlock/use it, it will remain at dimmest setting (too dim), and will seemingly randomly move to a more appropriate brightness (not with intense activity, it's really random), and will again randomly revert to dim setting (not with stoppage of activity).
Is auto brightness messed up with android or the note, and how can I fix it? Just set a manual brightness level?
Running cassie x lite rom and latest franco kernel btw.

No advice about this anyone?

Automatic brightness issue
Hello Friends, I have a similar problem as the OP, octavian90.
For my Galaxy Note, following the sequence below,
Applications > Settings > Display > Brightness
By default the slider for Automatic brightness is towards the middle/centre.
I have unchecked Automatic brightness and calibrated the slider to the extreme left.
I have come across the following strange observations -
1] When I unplug my device after charging, the slider resets to the default level.
2] After I recalibrate it to the extreme left once again and make a phone (voice) call, the slider resets to the default level over again.
Is this normal behaviour or does my device actually have a problem? I am very confused and worried. The device is not even a month old.
Eagerly awaiting your expertise. Thank you octavian90 for initiating this topic.

Friends, awaiting your much needed replies to my queries above.

Have you disabled the screen saver or what its called that adjust the brightness automaticly.? Works like a auto brightness but it can adjust some things brighter and some dimmer eaven on same light....

I just checked my settings and the have the slider all the way to the right because last time I manually adjusted brightness for reading in full daylight. It is currently on automatic brightness (I prefer that setting and don't find it changes too often or too laggy)
I just then manually adjusted slider to about 20% from left while on USB charge then turned automatic back on again. I then removed charger and it still shows automatic and slider about 20% from left.
Could be a ROM/Kernel issue? I am using Rocket ROM with Franco Kernel.

I don't think the position of the slider matters when backlight is set to auto. Or does it?

No it doesn't matter when on autobrightness. But it should remember the last manual setting chosen so not sure what is causing that glitch.

Hm never really paid attention to the behaviour of the slider. I will take a look and report back how mine works.

What I found out: On my device the position of the slider before activating auto mode is completely irrelevant because as soon as I activate the auto mode the slider is reset to its middle position.

Interesting - just turned autobrightness of and you are right - slider went to the middle. Must be by design then. Problem solved

Sorry SoonHD2, I did not understand what you meant. I am confused with the screensaver part you stated.
A humble request for an explanation, if required. Thank you.

This happens with my Galaxy Note as well. Thus, it seems like it is meant to be this way.
I will keep an eye on this and report if and when the Auto brightness slider acts differently.

Function Buttons Stay Dimly Lit When Phone Sleeping

So I didn't notice this until I went into a darker room, but the function buttons (menu, home, back, and search) stay dimly lit even when the phone screen is off. Is there some ICS setting I need to adjust? Any help would be appreciated.

I haven't seen or heard of anything like that (settings). So I would adventure to say you have a bad flash, or your using an app / mod that is causing it. Aside from that all I can think of is a phone going south.
GL!

Turns out it was a bad flash! Back to normal again

Night clock glitch? S6 Edge

Hey so my night clock is set but doesn't activate unless I reach over and swipe the edge. Which defeats the purpose. Then it turns on and stays on but will not just turn on at the set time by itself. Am I missing something or is it just a random glitch?
Thanks ya'll

I have not had that problem, so it does sound like a random glitch. It should just be coming on. Are you completely stock?

Yes
Yes it is.
I'm going to try turning it off and turning it back on tonight before the set time and seeing if that works but not hopeful on that

OK. The only other thing I would mention, is the clock won't show automatically unless you swipe, when the battery is low - I believe at 15%. Do you have any power saving modes on by chance?
Sent from my SM-G925V using XDA Free mobile app

I believe so
I can't remember my settings on that. I'll have to double check but my battery is never that low when I'm sleeping. In fact, a lot of the time it's plugged in.

clock on always on screen is sometimes dim

My clock on the always on screen is sometimes so dim that i can barley see it. Other times its off and other simes it if normal brightness. ANy ideas why this would be happening?

Don't know about the dim, but it's off during certain times. The option is in settings.

i think it may be to do with time of day. Mine does the same, it seems to be dimmer through the day time.

Mine does the same. It appears to be auto-dimming based on the ambient light sensor.

I think turning of auto brightness might do it...haven't tested it though

You have some many more options on that screen than I do.
Edit, figured it out. Face widgets option is not available with screen lock type being set to none.
OP. My aod dims according to light ambience in the room.

Brightness - auto adjust off yet

Auto adjust swiped left to off.
Screen brightness dims and I find auto adjust is swiped right.
How do I rectify this situation.
Thanks

That's hasn't anything to do with the Adaptive Brightness.

The "auto adjust" option turn on by itself if you use Always on Display.

I'm not using it and it turns automatically on..

Turns back on when you reboot your phone - don't reboot and it doesn't turn back on ?
