screen brightness issue & screen quality - Xiaomi Mi A2 / 6X Questions & Answers

HI Guys,
I have heard that there is a bug in Android pie update which reduced the brightness of the screen and also reduced the headphone volume output. Are these issues fixed? Also in general how is the screen quality of this phone? Is it bright enough?
Please let me know as I am thinking about buying this phone as it's on sale in India.

No takers?

If you want to leave Auto Brightness enabled and it defaults to too dark, I have used Velis Velis Auto Brightness with great success. Get it on Play Store or on XDA : https://forum.xda-developers.com/sho....php?t=1910521

[Q] light sensor / auto brightness

HTC's website says the HD7 has an "Ambient light sensor".
When I have the Brightness settings on "Automatically adjust", I do not see any changes to the screen brightness. Darkness and sunlight have no effect. Curious to know if others are having the same problem or if my phone is faulty.
Thanks
If I set mine to Automatically Adjust on either low/medium or high settings it does adjust according to ambient lighting.
Have tested by holding up to a light bulb on all 3 settings and have noticed the changes.
Thanks for your reply.
A bit more experimenting with a LED torch and it does seem to be working. The curve is not as I would like though. I would prefer the screen darker in darkness and brighter in the light much like my old iPhone. I was in full sun today and the screen still wasn’t full brightness. So with it on High and Auto off, the screen was brighter than when on High and Auto on. So Auto was bringing my brightness down to what seemed to be about medium levels making the screen a bit of a pain to see. I want full brightness in sunlight please. I am sure others will prefer this default setting though, especially those concerned about battery life. Hopefully a future software tweak will allow sensitivity and brightness curve adjustments. Until then, I will stick with the "high" setting and Auto off.
Thanks again.
Have same problem.. Automatic light have no effect on my HTC HD7 (unbranded, with and without nodo).
I totally agree, with me its more of a problem in the darkness. It is way too high when it is completely dark and its more obvious when I switch it from auto to "low" as the screen does become much darker.
Its something with either HTC or windows as my old touch pro 2 had the same problem, in complete darkness the screen would never go lower than 30%...
The light sensor on my hd7 never seems to work..they should implement the way it is on the iphone

Is anybody know is there light sensor available physical on HD7?
Heared on HD2 it work's fine. If it software issue then MS mast fix it.
yea my phones ambient light sensor doesnt work either i see no changes with the auto setting on.
Auto-Brightness works fine over over here - o2 debranded with NoDo update.
When i take the phone out of my pocket/case in sunlight, i notice about 2 - 3 seconds after I unlock it, it gets noticeably brighter and when comparing to "high" brightness without auto it's exactly the saem. Agreed though i would like it to be dimmer in complete darkness (in bed, for example).
I am curious if there is a registry entry that I can change to help with the highest and lowest settings. If I turn on auto it does adjust it slightly when I am inside, but when I am in the sunlight I can hardly see anything. If there is no light also it is still what looks like a medium setting making it very bright. I hope we can figure this out, it isn't a big deal but still BTW I am on TMOUS with NODO

Screen brightness bug

Hi.
Are people still having issues with the screen brightness changing itself all the time? These last few weeks I am finding I am needing to toggle smartsave on and off again more then I used too.
Cheers
Richard
Yes, I don't know what ASUS is doing, they should have fixed that issue by now. It is quite irritating to have the brightness change itself when watching movies in a dark room.
Known issue.
A workaround is to install Lux and tell it to set brightness on wake. Works pretty well. (Not as well as a properly functioning ambient light sensor mind you, but bugs like this are par for the course with Asus products!)

Screen issue normal

Have the s6 have the screen on basic setting. For some reason it still adapts to sunlight making it brighter automatically. When in low light it goes away. Just wondering if it's normal.
Brightness and screen tone are two separate settings independent of one another

Yes, that is so you can see it in sunlight. I actually love this feature. AMOLED panels are notoriously bad in full sun so this really helps out.

I have tone on basic and auto brightness off. It still happens.

Auto brightness works wrong in the dark

I have my new Note9 on wireless charger in the night. When I get it from the charger and check it the brightness it very high. When I turn automatic brightness off and on then the brightness is decreased to correct value.
Now I created a workaround using Tasker but am I alone with this issue?
I remember that similar issue was on S9 and S8, so is Samsung going to put this bug in each new model?

I have yet to find ANY phone that gets attenuation right.
I've found the Note 9 to do OK when cranking it up for well-lit outdoor use,but,it's a bit too dim on the lower end in the other extreme dark/poorly lit situations.
So,it does seem this bug/feature has continued.
Too bad there's not some some fine-tuning baked-in,say, in dev options, to create your own attenuation from lowest to highest brightness (on all phones).
It worked perfect since I bought the phone in Sept until the latest update in Nov. Now the auto brightness did not auto adjust. Either needed me to toggle the auto brightness to OFF and On again or hit the power button to OFF the display and ON back the display.
I find auto brightness to be a bit to bright in lower lighting conditions.
I came back to samsung note 9 (UK model 128gb 6gb) from oneplus 5T which had great battery optimisation and great auto light adjustment.
Overall the oneplus has better face recognition software (quicker and more accurate and you don't have to look at a very particular distance) the fingerprint (sensor) on the oneplus is also quicker.
Hope samsung resolve the bug.

I am also facing the same issue.
I am also facing the same problem brother when I unlock my phone using iris scanner the brightness increases and then doesn't drop to required level in low light please notify me when you find a solution.
Try...
Settings
Biometrics and security
Face recognition
Brighten screen
Turn it off see if it helps.
(assuming that you are using intelligent scan that could be the issue for the bright at the unlock and taking a bit to go down)

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.
Running N960FPUS2CSB1.
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
