Hi, i have a problem with auto brihtness of my xoom.
If i set the display to auto brightness, it increases the brightness when there's more light, but it don't decrease the brightness if there is less light, until i lock and unlock the screen.
I've a 3g xoom with the latest 3.2 firmware.
Is there any solution?
Someone can help me?

I haven't heard of that issue, so I don't know of a solution. Are you completely stock, with no modification?
This is stock behaviour. Simply turn the display off and back on if you want it to re-set the brigtness to a lower value on the stock rom.
Thank u very much for your reply! I thinked that was mine faulty...
For now i solved installing Auto lux, that it's completely customizable(u can set a % of brightness for any kind of external "lux") and works very well.
Is there another way to solve it? Now i tried the tiamat kernel, but without any resutl.

Hi,
Everytime my battery goes down 15%, my screen brightness goes to almost 0.
I cant see any setting to change this.
I dont have any app to do that.
Currently rba023 rooted.
Thank you

If there's a way to change it I would like to know as well. It's very hard to see for that last 15%.
Wish I could help.
The last 15% would last no time if it was at normal brightness. It's designed for, you know, if you need to use it in an emergency ;-)
To get your brightness back go to the sound and display setting and click brightness. It returns it to full brightness. When your battery drops to 10% and 5% it will do the same.
As far as I'm aware there isn't a proper solution to this.
My issue with the brightness is the "auto brightness" function seems backwards to me.
E.g. if I am in direct sunlight, auto brightness turns the brightness of the screen way down, which means I can hardly see it. If anything the brightness should be turned UP.
If I am in a dark room, auto brightness turns the brightness up, when really, turning it down would be better as it doesn't need to be as bright in a dark room. So it should be turned DOWN automatically.
It's arse-over-tit, as we say.
Yes,
But now with root, i'm sure anyone with the right knowledge can modify this 'stock setting' ! ...
Anyone to try it?
Cheers!

Hi mine seems fine.. Yours however does, as you say, seem arse over tit.

This doesn't really fix the query but for fast access to adjust the brightness I use an app called QuickSettings which I have on my front screen to give quick access to some basic settings. On the brightness adjuster you have to have the phone settings not on automatically adjust.
Just curious to see what everyone does on their tablet. I stick to using auto brightness but turn it up every once in awhile when browsing the web. The screen is just very nice to look at IMO. So what do you guys do? If you don't use auto brightness, specify your brightness sweet spot.
I have auto brightness off and set to the lowest possible setting and only occasionally adjust the brightness higher.
I also use the lowest possible setting. When I need to change the brightness, I use an app "Display brightness".

Auto brightness in 4.2 is one big bug
I would love to go back to using auto-brightness but it's a buggy piece of **** on 4.2+, it's been over a month now and they still haven't fixed the ****ing screen flicker issue, completely disgraceful.
http://code.google.com/p/android/issues/detail?id=39841
I use set values from Extended Controls widget. I have it to like 7%/25%/36%/64%/100% and switch manualy according to what I need. Auto brightness never worked good for me on ANY android device

Thank you for turning me onto Display Brightness! Now I don't have to depend on auto-brightness and how it drains the battery! I'll be upgrading to the Pro version to support the developer!
BTW... I'm so glad it doesn't black out the screen completely, otherwise I would probably have a Razr with a completely black display (I was testing it on my Razr before I installed it on the N7).
I have a problem with my Nexus 4. I cannot increase the brightness. To try to eliminate typical software problems I wiped the phone and reinstalled PA 3.99 RC2 (not nightly) but I cannot increase the brightness beyond a barely legible level!! Does anyone have experience with or a solution for my problem?
Maybe its locked on AUTO brightness? try to put it near a lamp see if the brightness change...if its not on auto switch to auto and turn it off and then try to swipe for higher brightbess... Also - did you check if its works on STOCK rom?

I completely wiped the phone and went back to stock 4.3 with no change. It doesn't respond to changes of light. I am beginning to think it must be a hardware problem.
Hi i dont know if someone notice it that the screen brightness is brighter on auto, meaning that in direct sunlight if i turn my screen brightness to max and then set auto the screen go's way more bright on auto.
manual controle set to max is like (75%) compared to auto-adjust at its brightest.
Can this be fixed?

What rom / firmware are you on? I don't think it's a bug, I think it's supposed to be like that.

Ok. Like I said I think it's supposed to be like that.:good:
Yeah that's a feature, not a bug. Meant to protect battery drainage..If you like to manually set brightness, know that in situations of direct sunlight setting the brightness to auto will allow the maximum brightness to be achieved since its using the lux sensor to determine necessary brightness level

When I'm in a light room the screen goes brighter but if I walk into a darker room, the screen doesn't dim unless I lock and then unlock the screen.
Anyone else having similar issues?
Yep got the same here. Thought I had a faulty ambient light sensor but obviously not.

Just tried it by covering the light sensor to make sure, no problem here (G935F). My only concern related to brightness is that the s7 just has auto brightness, but no adaptive brightness.
Uncheck the auto box and recheck. Then don't touch the slider. It's usually because in marshmallow the slider moves with the auto bright and most people touch it which makes it hold position.

There seems to be a bug somewhere still. I just tried to move the slider while auto brightness is ticked and to cover the light sensor afterwards again and it still worked and to my surprise it even took into account that I lowered the brightness and took also a lower brightness at the covered state and took my initial setting after uncovering, pretty nice, so there is indeed still adaptive brightness. After ticking und unticking auto it went back taking the default steps for brightness as before.
Having the same issue here
Definately not touched the slider.
Also, I have tested the light sensor and it appears to work fine so definately a software issue. Though I imagine we will see some software updates to fix bugs shortly after the official release date.
So you can adjust the slider with the box checked and get various levels of auto? Does it learn?

Yes.
I can't tell for sure, when I change further steps the previous seems to stick, at least to some extend so there is a logic behind it, but I can't tell for sure if it really is based on each step and sets it accordingly or if it's just changes the range it operates in. Anyways I'm a happy camper.
Also, I could reproduce the device not changing the brightness, when I put it to full at darkness it won't move anymore in auto. But as soon as I lower it again it will also change accordingly again, maybe at those with the stuck brightness the min brightness is only raised, but not lowered anymore, but just an assumption and doesn't help anyone atm unfortunately.

This is the first Galaxy phone I had, that Auto brightness actually works the way I like it.
It seems to be working fine now. It just takes a few seconds for the screen to dim (maybe I was being impatient).
After testing it further it's actually really good auto brightness.
It works, just takes some time to adjust to the lighting. Maybe the default settings are set to a certain time. Maybe with root we can adjust this..

It seems to only do it quickly when the device is lay down (as 954wrecker said). Maybe Samsung did that so it doesn't annoy you when using your phone.
this is definitely a bug imo... the auto brightness doesn't change for me either...

I also have an auto briteness issue, when I disable AutoBrite and set it manually about half my apps override the setting and enable AutoBriteness in the app's screen usually dimming the screen? SpadesFree one example and I do not see an override in the app.
Confimed that I'm having same issue, auto brightness not adjusting and slider not movingoing. Have to move it manually
Same issue. It needs to be fixed manually by editing services.jar (root needed)
Nothing else will work. None of google play apps will help with that issue. Does not matter what you do, it will always dimming if you don't fix it in framework.jar
