Just bought a second hand p30 pro ,
After playing around noticed screen must be LCD as no optical fingerprint scanner and auto brightness not working
I'm not really bothered about the scanner but surely the auto brightness should work.
Battery life seems on par with anoles(owned one before)
Anyone know how to fix
The screen is not LCD, it's an OLED display
Auto brightness is over rated. Stopped using it long ago. Tears up the eyes, display and battery life.

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
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)
What's going on with this thing? i always have to switch the screen on and off to get it to adjust to the current lighting. Everything about this phone is such a mess.
Do you have adaptive brightness turned on? My snapdragon did not work until I enabled that setting.

It might be a problem with the ambient light sensor on your unit. My S8+ does the same thing, other S8's don't. Get it replaced.
Iam pretty sure its somewhat normal. Auto brightness has never been great on Samsung phones. I realised this when i briefly switched to the Iphone xs. Its auto brightness worked perfectly. I find the adaptive brightness on the S10 plus to be terrible too. Its as if its either too dark or too bright and sometimes it changes without the lighting conditions changing. Its tolerable but its def nowhere near as good as my iphone xs. Its strange because you would think its a feature that would be easy to get right.
work great for me, better than my old S9
I found one issue. I have used a couple of screen savers with clocks on my night stand. They automatically dim the screen. I noticed every time after using them that the auto brightness was too dark. I figured out that since the phone was on auto brightness when the screen savers dimmed the screen, it was being factored into the averages and causing the overall brightness to be lower than I wanted. Now I try to turn off auto brightness before I use the screen savers. I'll probably set up Tasker to do it for me soon.

I've noticed the same thing, on my XS Max I rarely had to adjust the brightness but on the S10 I have to do it quite a bit compared to the XS.

I'm very happy with it. Especially the learning part. I like to usually have the screen dimmer than standard and after a few days it started to do this automatically.
Works like a charm I'd say.
I agree that the S10 does not seem to respond to ambient light well when setting the screen brightness, especially in dark settings. I have a Bixby Routine to set my screen to 10% at night and even then it's still too bright.
Hey. I fixed the issue with my new 8gb/256gb Redmi Note 10 Pro from the previous thread, but now I noticed something else. Dark grey areas get tinted rather noticeably at low brightness, but also for some reason at a couple of additional brightness points along the brightness slider; it is more noticeable if 120hz is enabled, and at minimum if Standard color scheme and 60hz are used. Also, it seems the brightness dips about two thirds up the brightness slider, so the screen seems to flicker in brightness when manually adjusting across that brightness point; it's currently night here and I haven't checked if it also noticeably happens during auto brightness at daylight.
So regarding the tinting – I found other people mentioned it, some claiming it is "normal for AMOLED screens", but some RN 10 Pro users then said their screens don't do that and actually the AMOLED screen on my older 9T didn't seem to have this issue.
Regarding the "jumping brightness" – I'm not sure I've seen references to this, but either way it also seems a bit like a hardware issue with how the screen handles different currents.
What do you think? Does it sound like I should ask to replace the unit? I'll also mention I saw Netflix very occasionally stutters, although that would more likely be related to software optimization.
Hello all friends,
During photo-taking mode in bright sunlight when I increased screen brightness above 70% to make it easier to see, the screen of my S21U (SM-G998B/DS) shakes terribly (abnormally) when I zoom around 10x or more. It is at the degree that the photo is out of focus if I press the shutter button at that time. However, during late afternoon when screen brightness is around 30-50% there is no such problem. Any of you has the same problem? I hope Samsung will fix this.
