Question brightness sensor problem - Redmi Note 12 Pro / Pro Plus 5G

Redmi note 12 pro plus, it has a problem with the brightness or proximity sensor, the screen lowers the total brightness and when the screen is touched the normal brightness is not set

i'm on 12 Pro 5G and i got the same problem (maybe) cause when i use auto brightness and i move into some room with kind of low light then the phone will set the brightness to almost the lowest point, it made me hard to look whats on the screen...

The note 8 sun mode kicks in even with auto brightness turned off

Ok guys so I need to know if there is a sensor issue with my phone .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 4 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 out like when using auto brightness. Is this normal behaviour. Can anyone test this fpr me please .only 6 months left of warranty left
So if this is a feature its stupid ,and make sure you never put your phone on max brightness in manual or autobrightness if out side and it's sunny as it will kick in and cause screen burn .
I've factory reset it and cleared cashe still the screen in manual mode if maxed out in the sun with the brightness maxed out will auto ride to super max brightness mode .im on the oreo uk fm
Phone is uk unlocked note 8.
Anyone? I see lots of views no replys I'm sure everyone that view this thread owns a note 8?
OK lol thanks for the great respone guys smh this place sucks :good:

No, this place does not , if you do not get any response , it means nobody has something useful to share, beeing rude will gain you a ban
Maybe your the only person that has this error, so no one has any advice to give other than to factory reset (which you all ready done).
Most people has moved on to other phones. So you'll have to be patient. I say is take it to the Samsung store and see if it is covered under warranty.
I'm not the only person all note 8s do this i think but nobody in this thread owns a note 8 or 9 other than me because they both do it. On both my phones.its a terrible feature as it will cause burn in.if you want to be able to see the screen outside in the sun
So i've been using auto brightness for 2 years, i don't have any burned screen. Last week I've been using phone on sun, taking a lot of pictures (brightness set to auto, on camera app its option to set it to max bright) and still no burnout. I think you should say your problem to guy who will accept your warranty next time
Well this is good to know just went to the sammy service centre and tested the phones they had there with my led torch and they all do it including the s9 plus .so it maybe always was like that or it's been added into a fw.

I will add that friend have a s8, his screen is good. Also another friend had note 8 and now note 9, always autobrightness on, no problems so far.
I have a little experiment
1st, I set auto brightness on, turn on a torch on the sensor, brightness go to max, then turn it off, and brightness go to middle (room light on)
2nd, set the auto brightness off, slide the brightness to minimum, turn on the torch to sensor, and brightness remain to minimum, nothing change
So I assume maybe it's a software feature I don't have, you can check with your friend running the same firmware, or you can check using *#0*# on keypad, click on sensor, look for light sensor, and do a simple test, see how much lux you have when you're on direct sunlight, or in a room, then you can flip your phone down / reverse the light source, the lux sensor must be read it on continuous count, as you flip your phone, the number will get decrease
I hope you understand what I am saying, because English is not my native language

You did the test wrong friend you need to turn off auto brightness and slide the brightness slider to max brightness it must be fully maxed .then shine led torch at the sensor then the brightness overide kicks in and goes even brighter just like In auto brightness mode.but if the slide is not fully maxed it won't do it

Interesting you mentioned all devices do this before you went to the service centre and confirmed it. That admission renders your entire post pointless. If all the devices does this, it means it's not a fault on your sensors or anything on your side, and it means it's indeed just a feature.

I said imo that all devices have this issue. Because bothe my note 8 amd 9 have the same issue .and i found a thread on reddid where 2 others also had the same issue.its not a feature because it can damage the screen it must be a software bug that Sammy need to fix

Ah I see, after doing that, I found out that the screen goes brighter and the colors seem to be fade out
Maybe it will help us to watch better when we got under direct sunlight (I think it's not a bug)
But in real life usage, I have my adaptive brightness turn on, then when I think it's too much bright at the moment, I will manually adjust it to my desire brightness
So that the system will learn the pattern and will apply automatically next time I had the same condition
Doesn't do that with mine and I live in Hong Kong.

On Full Brightness…. Auto sensor kicks in by default !!?

If I keep the brightness to the Maximum, I notice that in bright sunlight/extremely bright indoors, the screen gets Automatically even brighter and dims when the phone notices the environment is not that bright !!!!
You can experiment by shinning a flash on the top right side of the phone with slider on max brightness.
Isnt it stupid – When the user have disabled auto brightness or any power saving modes the phone keeps getting bright and dark
I cant believe Samsung has let it pass this to the production models…
@craige
I think it is intended as you see there's a color RED at the far end of the brightness scale, and that's signifies the most extreme situation the screen can go, which in prolonged use may damage he display. But still, it can provide a elevated readability when you are out under sunlight... And return to safe margins so as to prolong the life of the display...

Auto brightness - screen is too dark

Hi.
Anybody else have problem with auto-brightness? For me the screen is too dark at night. I'm using stock firmware with all updates installed.
I have the same issue.... I still waiting for some custom ROM.... Maybe some one fix it

I'm having the same isuue on redmi 8. But i think it's due to MIUI 11 or some aggresive adaptation. I have a redmi 6 which have the same issue (although it has no auto-brightness), the screen gets too dim with no reason (as if i scroll the brightness bar to the lowest setting).
I have the same problems of auto brightness which is too dim on dark places, is there any solution even with root ??
Yes , there is actually a solution : Turn Off Automatic Brightness. Why do you guys turn on Automatic Brightness ? I never set it to Automatic.... first of all, Auto Brightness will waste more battery.... I just keep my Brightness to about 25% always... no matter if it's day/night...

Question Automatic brightness issue

Hello! The automatic brightness is set on my oppo and when in normal light conditions (day , inside) the brightness is very low, I have the phone for about 4 months, I set it every time to higher, but after the display is off, when on again the brightness is very low, despite setting it higher (yes the auto brightness is on). Outside in direct sunlight I have no problems.
same on Oneplus Nord , no fix yet
Hello there.
Last month, I purchased a new phone, the OPPO Reno 5.
On my phone, I have no problems.
I have one problem, and that is with my mobile phone cover. Can anyone tell me which brand has the best cover?
Overall It gives good features even the camera is very well. I capture my lil peep hats beans pics from it.
I notice this too i'm on using "OPPO Reno7 Z" and it seem auto brigthness is not consistent/working at all even if you try to block proximity sensor with your hand it doesn't change the brightness and always dim/low brightness hard to see inside the house and when outside on sunlight .

Question Mi 11 Pro - brightness issue

Hi. I am sorry if I put this in the wrong section but I couldn´t find where to. I have the device for more than a year now and it is awesome. However, I have problem with display brightness. When I am outdoors on a beautifull bright sun, the dispaly is at its max for a few minutes than it gets dimmer and there is no way to get it brighter. Auto mode or manual with sunlight mode on, it is the same. Is there a way to fix that or is it just the way it is?
