Auto brightness isn't doing its job for me, it just stays on full brightness no matter where im at or in lit situation or dark rooms. Anybody else? Is there a fix or something to do in the settings?
On what Android Version is your One going? In 4.1 the auto brightness were not going well. The display was most of time heavy lighted up. But now in 4.2.2 it works very good. Screen turns the brightness very fast.
Perhaps HTC (or Google) has changed something there.

No problem. Think auto brightness will work better in 4.2.2.
Also torxx from the Trickdroid Rom thread said that HTC or Google changed the values for auto brightness.
Good luck.

About two weeks ago I turned on my Auto Brightness. Last week the screen just started going dim randomly. To be clear, its so dim I can't see anything unless its at a particular angle. Also (depending on how bright the screen was prior to going dim) if I apply pressure to the sides of my phone, just above the Menu and the red End button, the screen will become bright again. Since then I have turned off Auto Rightness and performed a hard reset yet the problem still occurs. Can someone please help me?
It hasn't been dropped, or been subjected to moisture of any kind. I've only had it for about two months. It was a replacement from Asurion Insurance. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Auto brightness on our phones hasn't really been all that great, I've had random dimming or it'll go super bright in a dark room. mostly the issue is that auto brightness on phones is not all that great, they don't monitor the brightness of your surrounding but rather your face and that's where the problem lies.
My Auto Brightness isn't enabled. Yet the screen still goes super dim.

Make sure it isn't on, because it shouldn't happen if you have it set to a custom level
Haha damn, don't like the sound of that. Thanks for the help!

Hey guys just wondering what kind of battery life people are getting with either of the settings on? I keep mine on a manual 50% and the battery seems OK, but I've seen real good reports of people using auto brightness too.

If auto-brightness was a person, i'd punch in the face and kick it out of my house. I use manual brightness, about 40-50%, i get 8-10 hours out of it.
i use auto on n7 and gnex, no battery complaints.

lol... I have similar feelings
I love the auto brightness, but it makes the screen flicker on the N7
But I hate auto brightness on the iphone with a passion!

Normally I'd agree with you, but auto is actually working pretty well on the N7.

Auto seems to get stuck for me. I'll go in a dark room and it lowers brightness, but won't go back up when it gets light. Sometimes it's reversed.

Agree that the auto bright may have some issues. Sitting in a room with TV and a single lamp and the unit dims. Had to switch to manual to read

its supposed to be like that. Its bright in the sun so you can see and dim at night so still visible, but not hurting your eyes
Manual brightness setting on a tablet is good for me, since I use it inside 99% of the time. And I usually keep it fairly low.
On a phone, you really need a GOOD auto-brightness. What looks good inside can cause the screen to be invisible outside. Trying to navigate blind to adjust the brightness manually isn't always easy.
Overall, I would say the N7 has a good auto-brightness control from when I played around with it. Haven't tried outside though.
I like the auto brightness. I trued manual and auto and the auto gives me the same brightness level I would have chosen myself.

I think the auto on the N7 is pretty good BUT I would like the ability to bump it up or down a bit. So whatever the sensor is calling for add or subtract a percentage to it. I like my tablet a bit brighter so I tend to use manual brightness most of the time. That's really the only setting I am missing with the "phone" style UI. I liked that brightness slider was right in the ICS tablet UI menu that popped up. I am getting 8 hours at 50% brightness most of the time.
I thought it looked rather dim with auto; I've been keeping mine on max brightness since shortly after I got it.

I know how it works, but if it brightens up in a light room it doesn't go down in a dark room and ends up searing my eyes like a tuna steak.

When i go settings my brightness become dim and rebrighten slowly than my brother's HTC One(his htc one rebrighten like normal). Is this hardware issues or software issues? :crying:
Hmm interesting I noticed this today when opening a folder on my homescreen. At first I thought it was auto brightness but nope, checked it with power saver off but still had the issue. It seems to be when the brightness is set a little bit under 50% or below. The screen fluctuates a bit and slowy redims. Glad to see I am not the only one, I'd like to see more on this.
Btw any solutions?
So I've had my Active for a week now, using the stock ROM and one of the things that's driving me a bit crazy is the auto brightness.
One minute it's almost overly bright, and then later it's too dim. I find myself tweaking it throughout the day so not to kill the battery (the other problem I'm having).
I was using an S2 for about a month sometime last year and remember the same kind of thing. Am I being picky here or is there a better way to control it?

I haven't had any problems with the auto brightness, it seems pretty responsive to me. Granted if I keep my screen on a lot it sucks the battery dry quickly, but the difference I find between min brightness all the time and auto brightness was really negligible even on days I kept the screen on for hours on end.
Battery life is somewhat of an issue I've noticed. On use heavy days my phone warns for low battery after some 8 hours, while on lazy weekends it has been well over a day at times... unfortunately that just seems to be the way it is for devices with these large screens.
im on my 2nd S4A now, my first one had auto brightness from hell... dont know what caused it, but it was extremely annoying.
I'm happy to report that I've started using Velis Auto Brightness and it's pretty damn good. An amazingly configurable piece of software.

its great that you found a fix! What I seem to notice is that the auto brightness is a lot dimmer when power saver is on and isn't too bad with it off.
Does anyone else have this problem when brightness is set to auto and you wake the phone in the dark the screen is too dim?
It's fine when you wake the phone in bright places.
I have the Verizon Note 5.
Thanks.
I personally think it's too bright in the dark

yup. its painfully dim on auto setting. Verizon note 5 here...
damn, i felt it was too bright. i couldn't wait to get lux running to dim the thing down.
This doesn't let you set the auto level after you set auto like the s6?

I think he's referring to when you check the auto box and you're able to increase the auto brightness level on the slider, so you're auto brightness is relative to the slider.
I have the AT&T version and this does not work.
I to am having the same problem.
On the international version of the Note 5 and it just started happening to me. I walked outside and thought my screen broke because I couldnt see a thing with auto brightness on. No idea whats going on.

Had a similar thing happen to me. Was standing outside in relative darkness and suddenly, without any changes to the environment, my screen became a lot dimmer. Weird.

I fixed it by flashing the latest firmware from Samsung. The senors have gone back to normal but now I seem to have a weird battery drain. The "Android System" seems to be using most of the battery
Dont really want to flaah my new phone...i have this as well. Seems to happen in the evening more than the middle of the day. Maybe the power level in the phone is lower...so its trying to help me out. Its not ... is very frustrating

It has amazed me for years that Android doesn't let you set a custom curve for auto brightness.
