I seach many threads but in my case it works but I have a probleme for having the REAL auto brightness with my Z3C.
I mean... If I disable the auto brightness in display settings an put the maximum brigtness it's very high, and when I check the auto brightness and put the brightness (notification bar) to maximum and switch between auto and not auto... YES there is a difference, the auto mode is less bright, so yes the auto brightness option works because i see a difference... I gess
BUT... at night when the room is COMPLETLY dark (yes because I sleep in the dark lol) the brightness is very bright for me, too bright. And I go to the notification bar and put it at less... but wait! This not my definition of "auto brightness" if I have to manage it. For me (maybe I'm weird, tell me) if auto brightness is enabled, when the light sensor see a COMPLETE DARK room the brightness should be at minimum, am I right???
And, with all my previous smartphones, the auto mode was with the brightness bar in notifications bar and if I check the auto mode, the brightness setting bar is desabled... and if I setup the brighness bar, the auto brightness check is disabled... etc
So why my Z3C haven't an real auto brightness? Why can I enable the option in settings but set the brightness bar too? Why in a complete dark the brightness is too high and not at minimum? Because in the morning in the dark if I set it at minimum, later I have to set it more bright because it's too low at the day ligh... BUT I'M IN AUTO MODE IN THE DISPLAY SETTINGS!!!
It's like I have the auto mode and the right to set the brightness too... not logic! If I check the auto mode it's because I don't want to setup brighness bet the device must do it for me like my others phones...
Is it normal?
Thank you for help...
Its normal, auto brightness on the Z3 has a very narrow range of auto adjustment. So exactly like you are saying its either too bright at night or too dark in bright light. Do yourself a favor and use the app LUX, I think there is a free version to try. My auto brightness now works as it should, bright enough to read in sunlight and dim at night so I'm not blinded. You can tweak the values for every type of.light you are in, works great.
Do you have Lollipop on your phone?
Do you know that in Lollipop there is no Auto-Brightness anymore, there's "Adaptive Brightness", and it scales less, which explains your experience (and you're not the only one)?

Click to expand...
Click to collapse
It's was called something with "adaptive" in Kitkat, too.
You can just set the slider to the minimum, then it won't be too bright in the dark and it'll get bright enough in sunlight...
Is there any good solution to disable that annoying ambient light sensor?
Turning off Adaptive and Bravia Engine does nothing, that sensor still switches my screen backlight on a whim.
I don't use Xposed and also do not want to. Best would be a solution such that I can use the brightness slider in the noticiation bar to control the display brightness. Other apps with widgets and what not are unhandy. :/
Dude you should try this
Whenever I'm in direct sunlight my phone will crank up the contrast/gamma . This is particularly noticeable in application like reddit sync dark theme. I'm currently running on 7.1.1 and with image enhancement turned off.
Dear members,
I own a SM-N950F for a little over a month now.
Since the weather is mostly grey nowadays, I just recognized something strange.
My phones brightness is set to automatic
If I use it in broad daylight and it sets itself to max brightness the colours turn pale and fonts get blurry
Is this intended to be?
Is this to increase readibility?
Are you guys able to recreate this behaviour?
Kind regards
I think its outdoor mode, if you dont want it, dont choose adaptive display on color.
Hi. I’m trying to shoot a video on the Sony Xperia xz2 and am having lighting issues. The light keeps changing as I’m filming, getting lighter & darker when I move in shot. I have tried to turn off the auto white balance and focus, but the light around me changes when I move. I want it ( and the background) to stay the same. Any ideas on how I can change the video settings to it will stay constant and not change when I move? I’m shooting in a studio with a static background. Thanks!
