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)?

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...

I've just read an article pointing out this weird thing:
http://www.androidcentral.com/samsung-galaxy-s5-mini-review
I've just tested this on my S5 mini, wow! I see what they mean by colours going psychedelic.
I don't think you have any control at all under Auto Brightness. You'd have to switch Auto Brightness off then slide the brightness to Max.

maybe some moding?
Maybe this is due to a feature named "Adjust Display". Go to Settings > Screen > Screen Mode. By default, it's set to Adjust Display, so the screen will automatically change its colors depending on ambient lightning.
Hi
The "Adapt to lighting conditions" is checked, but it doesn't really adapt. I have to manually change the slider to adjust brightness.
Looks like a bug. Not sure if there are any other settings to make.
Is this a known issue? Any workarounds?
Thanks.

The slider sets the maximum brightness of the screen, not the minimum. Hence, in order for the auto adjust to work, set it to the max and tick the check-box.

seems to work more like a brightness scale kind of thing. not only sets max, but minimum as well.
it'll always adjust when the box is ticked, but the slider determines how bright or dark biased it is.
It's a sliding window of brightness ranges, which should be good news to anyone who's felt that autobrightness on other phones swings too far in either direction. Now you can customize to your own taste.
Personally the sweet spot for me with good compromise between use in low light indoors, daylight and office lights is about 25% - the slider button just above the second "g" in "lighting conditions"
Remember though that changing White Balance settings will darken the display, and you'll need to boost brightness to get decent contrast again.
Use Lux Lite from the playstore. It lets you individually "link" a specific brightness level to a specific lighting condition, which the app then remembers and automates.

What do you mean "Source"?
That's how it work[s|ed] on my Xperia U, Xperia M, Xperia SP and now on Xperia Z3C.
Not proof enough?
It works, but doesn't work well. When I wake up at night the brightness level goes lower but not nearly low enough. I have to manually reduce the brightness to the lowest level. When the day starts, I have to manually increase the brightness. Not ideal, not a deal breaker either. Hopefully Sony addresses in the next update.

Totally agree, Im using lux to improve the brightess auto adjust....
I love showing off my new LG G Watch R to people... however I was told multiple times that the watch face was too bright when in a semi-dim room. Any chance a future update could have lower brightness levels?
try SWApp True Dark Wear, this helps me..

yes True Dark is well, but......... it is a shame that google does not think the bulk
I had the same problem, and made an app for it, it's very simple to use.

It is a general brightness setup, not for dim mode no ?

The only way to change the brightness for always on mode is (if your watchface supports it) changing the brightness in the settings of your watchface. Or changing the dim color to a darker color.

No, the Wear brightness setup is for the active mode on all wear watch. For the dim mode I know only the app "SWApp True Dark" wich can change the brightness of this mode and not related on the watchface.
When I got my TAB S2 it was with 5.0.2 and I was able to increase or decrease how auto brightness works with a slider in notification tray. After flashing T710XXU2BOJ1 (5.1.1) if I use the slider with auto brightness turned on it will turn off the auto brightness This is a bit annoying because I like to use auto brightness and now can correct it if it's not doing a good job :/ Is this a 5.1.1 feature or a bug and I should do a factory reset?
P.S. If I do a factory reset on rooted firmware will I loose root ?
Ok, to answer my question it's a bad feature off 5.1.1. Will have to do for now, maybe 6.0.1 some day will fix it

The whole point of auto brightness is just that "auto" the slider is disabled because the OS adjusts the brightness based on the light in the enviroinment.
If you are in a dark room it will dim, outside it will go bright. If you move the slider the device assumes you then want to use manual brightness and disables the auto brightness and then adjusts the brightness of the screen based on where the slider is positioned.
This is the way Samsung devices work. (I have had several over the years and currently have a Note 4, a Tab S 8.4, and this Tab S2)
How are you expecting the slider to function when auto brightness enabled?
The slider is suppose to be for manual brightness.
The auto brightness slider still allows for manual adjustment on 5.0.2.
-5 to +5 to set the level to your liking whilst still maintaining auto brightness mode.

Exactly, any way I could have this with 5.1.1? Maybe some xposed module?

I think I recall there being some form of auto brightness audjustment fix in the downloadable modules. I can't link you as I don't have it installed currently.
Couldn't find it ?
Hi,
Not sure where the correct place is for this, so thought that I'd put it here.
I am looking for an app that controls brightness. I like the brightness of my phones to be dialed down to around 40%. I find it most comfortable for my eyes. Yet when it is bright out, I need to make the screen brighter. This means that I need to go in and manually adjust the brightness. I don't like to have the phone set to automatically adjust the brightness.
I'd like to find an app that allows adjusting brightness by icon. I don't want one that has one icon that toggles through a bunch of preset brightness levels. Instead, I want an app that can have different icons for different brightness levels. That way, if I wanted to toggle the brightness to 60%, I could tap an icon that does that. Then I could have an icon set for 30% to set it back.
Anyone know of an app that does this?

Lux, if properly configured, could do that for you.
I think I understand what you're going for. I use Power Toggles (Dev: Painless Apps), and one of the toggles on the widget is for brightness and I have it set to 3 settings when I touch it; 20%, 40% and 100%. It's not possible to set each new brightness widget for individual brightness presets, unfortunately, but I don't see how it would be difficult to just make some predetermined settings for your brightness.
By now you should have a pretty firm idea on what level of brightness you prefer throughout your day so maybe you can use this app and have 2, 3 or more presets. It's really simple to use, I have it set to 3 settings and touching the widget to get to the brightness I want at that moment is super quick and not difficult at all.
You can see in the screenshot I use the widget at the top on my home page. Brightness is among the other toggles I use on a regular basis. Much quicker to turn on and off things, IMO. It's right there on my home screen so I don't have to pull my notification window down. I hope this helps.
I just use Auto Brightness setting. I set the brightness slider at 40% and the phone will auto-adjust the screen to keep it at a relative 40 indoors and outdoors.
I think this is what you're looking for:
