A few days ago I started to use the Automatic Brightness, but it doesn't worked very well...
When I am in bright area , the brightness increases, but when I leave the area or cover the brightess sensor, the bright the screen should change his intensity, but he remains the same, at high brightness. The brightness decreases and becomes what it should be according to automatic mode only after lock-unlock screen.
Anyone can help me?
I think the sensor dont have problem.
I think if you check the option "Display -> Brightness -> shade bright screens" (or somethink similar to that, i have to translate) it could make it work properly. A broken brightness sensor doesn't control anything anymore, my old DHD had one.
i think its a software problem
Same problem on my razr i
But on some razr HD, there isthe same problem. Maybe the software version....
I use "custom auto brightness" apk on market, and work great for increase AND decrease brightness.
For information, same problem with JB 4.1.2 update...
Anyone have the same problem and a real solution ?

Thanks this app worked very fine!

Hey guys,
I was just wondering why it is that my auto brightness won't reach te max level...
I'm running fr17 right now but the problem was the same on all the custom roms I've tried....
Any ideas?
Thanks!
nobody with the same issue?
I have the same problem, i also think that the brightness is not low enought at night
Same here. Too bright at night, not bright enough in sunlight
Sent from my Optimus 2X using XDA App
same here aswell
yeah, it won't go just till 70-80% I believe, even in direct sunlight...
solution:
use brightness level widget, set it around 35% when indoor, and just put it to 100% when you go out... i know it's not automatic, but still better than going to settings, since this is just 2 taps
for me these settings are perfect, battery is great
Someone should try to re-calibrate the sensor and add that to cyanogenmod or release a patch for it. Kinda weird that they made it this way...
I instaled 254 stock fw and seems like auto brightness is not working. When I chech auto, it just dims screen a little bit and that's all. It was the same on existenZ rom. Seems like it only worked only in CM11. Is that a common thing or is here some workaround?
Coming from Atrix 4G, i found the way the xperia SP handles auto brightness is pretty bad...
So i tried Lux, but it looked like my light sensor was screwed up... always returning 1 or 2 lux.
So i searched and managed to get it working again by installing this tool first, to disable auto brightness:
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.hatcyl.android.Disable_Auto_Brightness&hl=fr
Then Lux would do the trick :

Same here. Auto brightness is just low brightness. Something is wrong with the stock 4.1 because on SlimKat it works well.

On Existenze 3.30, which is JB 4.3, auto brightness also is not working (or at least not working as I would expect it to be). So I guess its just has something to do with sony framework or smth.
Stock auto brightness (4.1.2/4.3) never worked properly for me. I'm using 'Velis auto brightness' app. Works like a charm..
Has anyone noticed an issue with the auto brightness of the note 8 ? It seems it doesn't get adjusted efficiently! Sometimes it's too dim and sometimes too bright, that's so disturbing
It's really funny, it worked after I installed an application called lux lite, that's unbelievable.. I need to install a third party application on a 1000$ cellphone to get such a basic function working. Thanks Samsung !

I believe you are wrong about this. The auto brightness is adaptable, in the sense that you can set it manually wherever you want in different comditions and it will learn your preferences and interpolate. I actually find it very flexible.

I find that is not doing such a hot job at learning my preferences. I keep having to manually adjust because my phone thinks it knows what I want. It's annoying.

do you mean that it has a new functionality that has not been in old phones? I have the Note 4 and it works like a charm, but the note 8 auto brightness works strangely, when I'm in a room with low brightness the screen light goes so dim that I can barely see anything!
Ive experienced the same thing, I have to do a screen lock for its auto brightness to work correctly
Hi,
(sorry for my English)
Your message was one month ago but I reply just in case some people have the same issue.
You have to call samsung about your issue. I have done that there are 2 months ago and Samsung are going to change the settings only if they have lot of complaint about this weird behaviour of the note 8, S8 and S8+.
The new settings of the auto brightness is "smart" but often it's more like "lost" than "smart"... :/
I adked to Samsung to give 3 choices for the settings of the auto brightness for the user instead of 2:
1) manually
2) auto "smart"
3) auto "not smart" => so the phone adjust the brightness depending only of the light sensor.
They told me that my proposition can be integrate only if they received lot of complaint.
Seems to come with last update
I can confirm am having the exact issue..
Brightness doesn't seem to auto adjust. Even after a reboot. The issue seems to come during the last update - the update where now we can have video lockscreen and animated AODs.
Hope this is resolved soon.

I don't recall having issues on the last update, but I am on the latest CRG1 now and it's working fine on my N950F.

I ran the sensor tests, and it seems that more than the lux sensor is not responding ...
My heart rate sensor seems to work on a hit-or-miss basis..
SpO2 working fine though.

Try and reset your usage pattern and give it time to learn your usage. You will have to adjust the slider for your preference while its learning. I'm on the latest oreo and have no issues with it.
Reset phone to factory settings..
Issue persists!!

That's strange. My auto brightness worked fine up until the latest update. It is the August update that caused the problem for me.
Actually, providinf an update on the matter.
Some days later, situation came back to square one!
Not working:
Light sensor
Heart Rate sensor
Proximity sensor
Gyro sensor
Magnet sensor
Accelerometer
Just fingerprint sensor seems to be working fine.
I was on a trip in Malaysia and was at a Samsung store. They told me this is a very common issue and easily solved by 'software update' but when I went on to the service centre, they denied me since my phone was bought in different country. Phff
If the next OS update doesn't resolve this then I would recommend that you take your device to a Samsung Service Center
Anyone got their unresponsive device working back again ?
Hi i am on gloabal stable rom and i have noticed that the brightness in low light goes to low and iff you change it manually to slightly higher it wont stick and after the phone screen is turned off and then back on the brightness in darker areas is to low again. Most android phones on Pie i have had have adaptive brightness meaning it will adapt to how you set it in each environment but on Miui i think it is different and it is also called auto brightness rather than ambient brightness. I am rooted and i have tried a couple of magisk fixes but nothing changed and in dark area it is still to dark and this is a big annoyance for me and i think it should an easy fix. Maybe someone know where the brightness values are located and can explain how to change this manually so it does not go so low in dark areas.
I have the same problem with 10.3.1 mi 9t pro
I don't have the problem anymore I moved to lineage

Somebody on forum said that you have to train your adaptive brightness. Every time it is too low you bring it up with slider and after few times it should learn your preferences. I didn't yet try this, but I will...
Usually on Android it works like that but on miui its called auto brightness rather than adaptive brightness and didn't work in the same way.
Any news on this? Does it work on MIUI 11 / Android 10 better? I love this phone but this issue is really annoying.
I'm on miui 11 EU it works perfectly.

Hello, 3 days ago I bought oppo x3 pro. Phone is awesome, but auto brightness works very bad... It keep decreasing screen brightness to very low level.
I never seen something like that, Samsung S20 works much better, well, even realme x50 works normal. To use phone I had to disable auto brightness. Is there anything like adaptive screen brightness, I read somewhere that samsung by the time learn my preferences, and keep good brightness. Tired this with oppo for 3 days, but seems it doesn't have that option.

If it is the same mechanism as in OnePlus (not sure about it) - then the phone will "learn" after you manually set the brightness to proper level. Give it 2 weeks.
Btw. Rydzyk in avatar, hope youre not the real one
Real Tadeusz here
I was teaching for 3 days, but without success. Will try for a week now
thanks
Try clearing system cache and data in the relevant apks.
Test the light level sensor to see if it falls within an acceptable range.
I use manual brightness control almost always; doing so saves battery, retinas and sanity.
It also reminds you when it's too bright and your frying your display.
Same here. Helped me out with Lux Brightness and set the minimum brightness to 30. Works fine for me.
To me in Realme 8 it seems to have learn a minimum value for auto brightness instantly, I just set a minimum a little above of the default level (It was very low), and the phone remember that level onwards
well, mine surely isn't 'learning', it keeps defaulting to the lowest value, which is waaay to low.
Are there any alternatives to Lux Brightness that you know off?

What happens to me is that the default auto brightness deactivates itself when it wants, and reactivates also when it wants, very annoying. So I deactivated manually the auto brightness and tried Velis Auto Brightness, this app is a little complicated but works quite well, just you have first to understand the app itself and then tweak a little to your convenience. It has a little bug in Android 11, the notification of lux and % of brightness screen disappears after some time but doesn't affect the app itself.
