How to Disable the auto brightness ???!!

It really annoys me , is there anyone that have a real solution ? I tried every widget on earth to configure it to disable the "auto" and the brightness keeps playin up and down that is really getting on my nerves I sometimes want to throw it throught the window
I want the brightness to be fix from a level I choose, is that too much to ask ? instead of that the screen brightness keeps playing once up the other time shaking
please someone give me a true solution if there is one

Extended Controls??? Works fine for me

You may also try OneClick Widget.

Dont think mine has auto brightness, no tick box in the settings just a slider, and it stays where it tell it to, currently on 30% and it sticks

Nope the only thing I have noticed about the screen is that the sensors at the back of the screen are quite noticeable in sunlight on the Arc.

Yes.. when the brightness is set to abt 50% and when the screen is displaying mostly white (Facebook etc). Currently, i managed to reduce the flicker by setting the brightness to abt 70%. Kinda annoying.
Hopefully SE will fix this in the next update or let us just disable autobrightness.

Anyone elses play do this

So I keep automatic brightness on but I think my play may have a problem. I turn the backlight off and sometimes my plays screen flickers brightness- like it's automatically changing the brightness but it's going back and forth rapidly. I don't know if it is a fault or just that I'm not keeping the phone steady enough. Any assistance?

Turn automatic brightness off temporarily and see if it still does it?

If your blocking the front camera then it will do that. That's how it uses the auto brightness.

Thanks guys. Will see

Yes Keep it on 60% auto.
It's a feature the phone turn the screen off automatically if you hit the power by mistake while the phone in your pocket,that's why if you hide the sensor and turn the phone on,directly it will switch off the screen.

but its not not on auto why its kind flickers in this percent?software issue?

[Q] Screen yellow flashing at low brightness

Hi! This particular and weird behavior has been happening on my phone for a while now.
Whenever I put my screen brightness on the lowest level, a yellow, flickering, transparent bar appears overlaid on the dock area. No matter where I navigate on my phone its present on the screen. I think it has to do with the screen hardware because I cant take a screenshot of it. Maybe something to do with a screen controller. The yellow tint is simply present at low brightness.
When I raise the brightness again it simply disappears. I have no idea why this could happen. Anyone else had this happen to them before?

Try changing kernels. Example. Going back to pure stock. If the problem persists just put it to full brightness, watch a long video and put the brightness at low again. And see if that works. If not then it is probably a hardware problem.

Phone screen turns on to show clock when set down?

My phone screen would turn on to show the clock only over a black background when let's say I throw in on the bed or put down "not gently". Does this happen to everyone or is this a feature Google added?

yes, you can turn off that feature... Settings-Display-Turn off Ambient Display.

that's cool that this setting can be turned off, but with the setting turned on mine does it without even moving. I set it down, it does the screen/clock thing, turns off, then just keeps doing it what seems randomly. Anyone figure have that problem?

An app could be causing that behaviour. In my case I found it was LightFlow, I uninstalled it and no more strange behaviour from the Ambient Display.

I get this too! I want ambient display set to on (so when I pick the phone up, I can quickly see the time, without unlocking it) but I don't understand why when it is flat and still, there is this random, intermittent screen clock thing

I had the same issue with Lightflow. Using Light Manager now.

I've noticed having notifications will have the screen coming on every few seconds even though the phone is not being moved. Had this happen on my Nexus 6 as well.
