Hello,
I got my N6 yesterday and directly I unlocked the bootloader and installed Pure Nexus
I have an issue with brightness
When I have adaptive enabled, it seems to work fine and dim the screen when I am in an area of low light but when I press on anything the brightness jumps to maximum for a sec till the new screen appear, like when I am in settings and want to enter the security section when I press the brightness goes to max for a second and then goes down again
Anyone know why is that?
Edit : another example, inside whatsapp while in the chat list the brightness is fine but when I enter a chat the brightness goes to maximum, it comes back to normal when I go back to the chat list

Nevermind mind
MX player was causing that, I forced closing it and everything is working fine now

Please, any input is useful. ):
I just bought a nexus one the other day, and i think I was scammed. THe power button works fine, but occasionally, the screen would get super dim. It doesn't black out because I can faintly see all of the icons and menus, and I can tap them. ALso, its not automatic brightness, because its horribly horribly hard to see. Pulling the battery (sometimes) fixes this problem.
I'm currently running Kang-o-rama with SP2.
Has this ever happened to anyone? If so, how did you fix it?
It does sound its the auto brightness. If you're outside and its dims it is very hard to see. You the default android power widget to test it. It has brightness toggle on it. Full /auto/dim/ and basically the middle.
I'll take a picture of it once my dad comes home, but I tested it last night if it was autobrightness.
I waited for it to dim, then went into settings, disabled autobrightness, and put the brightness all the way up. It was still super dim, and didn't return to normal until I pulled the battery.
I would look for support in the thread for that rom. Or flash another rom. Sounds like it is just a bug in your rom.
I just installed a Miui rom hoping it'll fix it (cause I was using cm7 based roms) and it worked for a while.
Now it began to Flicker and finally turned off. It'll ring when phones call it but nothing will show on the screen. I'll pull the battery but this time nothing shows up (though it vibrates indicating it turns on).
I know this is a hardware problem now, do you guys know what part it is?
Please, any input is appreciated.

Auto brightness seems to behave very unpredictably--when I wake my phone and unlock/use it, it will remain at dimmest setting (too dim), and will seemingly randomly move to a more appropriate brightness (not with intense activity, it's really random), and will again randomly revert to dim setting (not with stoppage of activity).
Is auto brightness messed up with android or the note, and how can I fix it? Just set a manual brightness level?
Running cassie x lite rom and latest franco kernel btw.
No advice about this anyone?
Automatic brightness issue
Hello Friends, I have a similar problem as the OP, octavian90.
For my Galaxy Note, following the sequence below,
Applications > Settings > Display > Brightness
By default the slider for Automatic brightness is towards the middle/centre.
I have unchecked Automatic brightness and calibrated the slider to the extreme left.
I have come across the following strange observations -
1] When I unplug my device after charging, the slider resets to the default level.
2] After I recalibrate it to the extreme left once again and make a phone (voice) call, the slider resets to the default level over again.
Is this normal behaviour or does my device actually have a problem? I am very confused and worried. The device is not even a month old.
Eagerly awaiting your expertise. Thank you octavian90 for initiating this topic.
Friends, awaiting your much needed replies to my queries above.
Have you disabled the screen saver or what its called that adjust the brightness automaticly.? Works like a auto brightness but it can adjust some things brighter and some dimmer eaven on same light....
I just checked my settings and the have the slider all the way to the right because last time I manually adjusted brightness for reading in full daylight. It is currently on automatic brightness (I prefer that setting and don't find it changes too often or too laggy)
I just then manually adjusted slider to about 20% from left while on USB charge then turned automatic back on again. I then removed charger and it still shows automatic and slider about 20% from left.
Could be a ROM/Kernel issue? I am using Rocket ROM with Franco Kernel.
I don't think the position of the slider matters when backlight is set to auto. Or does it?

No it doesn't matter when on autobrightness. But it should remember the last manual setting chosen so not sure what is causing that glitch.
Hm never really paid attention to the behaviour of the slider. I will take a look and report back how mine works.

What I found out: On my device the position of the slider before activating auto mode is completely irrelevant because as soon as I activate the auto mode the slider is reset to its middle position.

Interesting - just turned autobrightness of and you are right - slider went to the middle. Must be by design then. Problem solved

Sorry SoonHD2, I did not understand what you meant. I am confused with the screensaver part you stated.
A humble request for an explanation, if required. Thank you.

This happens with my Galaxy Note as well. Thus, it seems like it is meant to be this way.
I will keep an eye on this and report if and when the Auto brightness slider acts differently.
I just got my XZ1 Today and straight away upgraded to 4.3.
I am having problems with the brightness, I have turned the 'adapt to lighting' setting off, but each time i go to my home screen my screen brightness goes down, it also does the same when I go to the last page of the app draw. This also occurs when starting games, the brightness will go down in the loading screen and then go normal when the game starts.
Is this a bug/issue, or is this meant to happen? If its the former, is there a fix
Sorry if this sounds newbie
Thanks,
Alex

I don´t think that this is normal !!! Maybe you should do a factory reset: settings ----> Backup&Reset ----> Factory data reset Before doing this you should save your data, e.g with pcc (PC Companion) Hupfully I could help you
PS: Next time questions please in the Q&A section please
I think it's normal, this option is called something like "Optimized Backlight". It could be turned off in one of the earlier firmwares, but that caused random reboots so Sony decided to make it an always-on option and removed the entry from the menu.
Optimized Backlight adapts the brightness according to the displayed content, the more crowded and vivid the picture is the brighter the backlight gets.

I forgot about this Option, but in my case I can not notice any brightness differences in many situations
I did not like the stock brightness controller so I have installed Lux Auto Brightness from google play and its working perfectly
Since updating to marshmallow, my longer notification sounds, especially Calendar Snooze, are cut off.
I read somewhere about an app setting to allow it to turn the screen on as a fix. I did that but now I can't remember what app I made the change in or where I read that suggestion. I thought it might have been Light Flow, but I can't find it in there.
Now my power button fails to wake up the screen the majority of the time. Sometimes the lock screen will flash for a fraction of a second and go black again. Usually it takes 6-10 tries before the screen finally stays on so I can use my phone.
Since the wake up problem started when I tried to fix the notification sound, I'm pretty sure they're related. Any ideas?

if youre using lightflow id suggest wiping the data in it and resetting your notification settings. it does tend to override the system so i can see that screwing with the duration of the notification, and starting fresh usually solves most problems
i have mine set to wake the screen for SMS but not MMS. it creates similar problems with the screen
Thanks for the info. I tried just toggling the screen on settings on and back off for all of the Light Flow apps, and it seems to have fixed my screen turn on problem, at least for now.

I'm having the same notification sound cut short problem, I have a nexus 7 wifi 2013 model running Mohamed rom v2.1
Whenever anyone calls me on google hangouts, the ring only lasts for a second before its cut off, this doesn't happen if the front cover is open, it happens only when its closed.
I didn't have this problem on kitkat, but on MM this problem started from day 1.
I don't see any light flow option anywhere.
Any suggestions to fix this will be very appreciated.
Thanks.

LightFlow fixed my screen problems, but it was just a coincidence that I installed Marshmallow and my sounds got cut off around the same time. I'm still looking for a solution to that issue. Similar to you, if my screen is on, the notification sounds work correctly. If the screen is off, they get cut off.
Anyone else having issues with auto brightness after the pie update? My phone sometimes does not change the brightness automatically when I move from a bright to dark environment until I turn the feature off and on again.

go to a dark place slide the brightness to desired level. no go under a bright ligh then shut it off and see.
Just tried this. Sometimes it works and sometimes it doesn't. When it doesn't I still have to turn it off and on again for it to work again.
it's the new adaptive brightness..... you set the desired light in each situation over the next few days using the slider (adaptive ON)... it will adapt to your preferences in different situations.....

Thanks I'll give it a try.
Doesent work with my note 9 Pie...
I Flashed ota from 8.1 and later i flashed back to 8.1.
Later i flashed again 9.0 but this time not via ota. I flashed it clean via odin.
Same issues with adaptive brightness :
1. It does NOT learn my pattern. This means : I turn it darker. And later in the same spot it turns it back to the middle... Over days and days the same.
2. If you turn on the camera-app, it turns the brightness high. That is okay, i like that. But if you turn the app off, and if you are too fast for the system, it stays enlighten untill u lock ur device !
Oreo :
1. It learns my pattern from day one (!). I turn it darker. Later on the same spot : It stays dark ! Perfect
2. Turn on the camera app and it got brighter. Nice, like Pie, right ? Yes, but turning the camera-app off and swiping it instand away from recent apps, it turns imediatly back to the normal brightness, it learned from you !
I hate it ! Pie does not work fine with my brightness preferences !
Other user in other forums have the same issues with pie...
And there is no way around. I tryed it all. Every option and every possibility. Iam not a beginner in android.
I gave the adaptive brightness a cance of 10 Days, but every day it learned nothing. And the Camera problem...Turn the app on and open recent apps and swipe the camera away and then go back to home. If u do it too fast (I do it every time on every phone with MY speed) it stays bright like u throw it in the sun
Same here adaptive brightness has gone bonkers for me after pie upgrade. Just like you it works when it wants to. Really frustrating.
So please guys, tell samsung that problem in the members app.
The users in our german forum did that, and i did that too.
