[Q] Adaptive Brightness - Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Quick question. My initial thought was that by toggling adaptive brightness, it would enable the phone to use the full spectrum of backlighting for the current lighting situation. But, I am finding, that you still need to use the brightness slider to determine the max level brightness that adaptive brightness will go to. Is that correct? Because when I push the slider up to enable more brightness, the phone's screen does become brighter. Can anyone confirm this is how it was designed to work? (I am on stock 5.1 with no mods.)

Brightnes issue in Gingerbread 2.3.3

Does anybody noticed an issue with Auto Brightness?
Sometimes when i turn the screen on the brightness is automatically set to maximum and it doesn't scale down even if i'm in a dark room.

Sometimes my screen is set to max as soon as I turn it on but it returns to normal right after.
the issue i mentioned appears expecially after rebooting. the brightness goes at the maximum level and does not auto adjust.
Yeah, I have noticed a number of strange behaviors on 2.3.3. In fact, I have not yet seen it work properly auto-brightness mode on, It does one of the following:
-Brightness goes to low and stays there until I turn off auto
-Brightness goes to 100% and stays there until I turn off auto
-Brightness flips back and forth between low and 100% about every 20 seconds (instantly, not gradually).
None of the above seem to have anything to do with what the ambient light level is, but I could be wrong about that.
I also noticed that (Android app) Tasker doesn't seem to be able to control the brightness anymore.

The last time i tried Auto Brightness was when i first bought my N1 and it didn't work at all. Been set at a level i like ever since and now i have no compunction to try Auto again.

[Q] Any way to reduce the backlight brightness below what is normally achievable...?

The One, in common with many phones, has its minimum backlight brightness set much too high for my liking: regardless of whether powersave and autobrightness modes are on or off, the screen at minimum brightness is far too bright if you're viewing it in a dark room.
There, are of course, apps which diminish screen brightness by using a translucent black overlay, and indeed I'm using one right now - Lux, it's called; but, while that kind of app reduces the brightness of whites, it has no effect at all on black-level, and the overall dynamic range and contrast ratio is reduced (not to mention an impact on performance).
Is there any way to actually reduce the brightness of screen's backlight below normal levels? I'm not currently rooted, but would be willing to try that if it solves this issue.

[Q] Getting Adaptive Brightness to work

Has anyone managed to get Adaptive Brightness to work on their Moto x? I have it switched on yet my phones brightness never seems to change even in near darkness or bright sun shine.
Found the answer here:

I'm glad you found the answer. I can definitely see the brightness change depending on the ambient light in the room, but it will stick to a more narrow "band" of brightnesses based on how you have the brightness set.

Note 9/8 max screen brightness override in the sun with autobrightness switched off

Hey guys so I need to know if there is a sensor issue.I don't use auto brightness no more because if you go in the sun the brightness overrides itself to brighter than max brightness and it is the reason why I've had burn in a few times so far and had to get the screen replaced. But I've also noticed that with auto brightness off but you have the brightness maxed out and go in the sun or shine an led torch at the sensor the screen will kick up to override max brightness sun mode just like when using auto brightness. Is this normal behaviour for the note 9.i know the note 8 goes into ultra bright mode even with auto brightness off ,because I saw a thread on reddit discussing this issue is this a new feauture from oreo update or did it always do that ?
If it's a new feature its bad because out side in tge sun using full brightness in manual mode is pretty safe if you don't keep it that bright too long.but the fact that it will kick into ultra brightness that's an issue that will cause burn in.
Can you guys please test your phone using an led torch shined at the sensor or go in the sun thanks guys

My Note 9 on the latest Pie beta does not go into the max brightness when Adaptive Brightness is off and I hold the phone to a light.

You need to be in manual brighmess mode and crank the slider to max for the max sun mode to kick in if you go into the sun .samsung are forcing this override brightness on us now This can failure burn in
For me, if adaptive brightness is on, whatever brightness I try and set while in sun light, it forces the "Maximised" brightness but if I turn off adaptive brightness and change the brightness manually, it stays how I set it, even in direct sun.

My note 8 and note 9 both do it on the same uk oreo fw.i went to store with my led torch 10 min ago and tested the phones in the store and they all do this.if you have the slider set to max.if you have the slider even slightly off max it won't do it.it must be max

Question How to get full ambient brightness without sunlight

If someone's phone light sensor isn't working. Is there any way for him to use ambient brightness
Do you mean auto brightness not working?
