Go into settings>My device> and find "Power saving mode" and disable it if its enabled.
Doing this might solve your auto brightness issue.
Good luck!
Nah I've gotten used to it by now.
I only get the dimming thing when I switch to and from Google apps like Chrome.

I had the same problem but you can sort it out if you're rooted and using STweaks:
Set 'Brightness Reduction' to 0 under 'screen' settings
Dimming Problem
Hi,
I would appreciate if you guys could give my app a try. Even if you found a workaround...
It's an easy to use application that allow you to manage your screen and can allow you to stop it from dimming.
It can be configured for specific apps also. Please give me your feedback!

Hi all,
I found that the default auto brightness setting always render the screen darker than my favourite. For certain I want to keep the adaptive approach (i.e. the screen brightness will change according to my physical enviornment), however I would like to fine tune it such that it will always return a +1 / +2 brightness on top of the default return. Do anyone know any apps / tricks can I do so?
p.s. I know I can place an widget to manual adjust the brightness, but I am now looking for a way to fine tune the automated value.
Thanks all!

Did you ever solve this. Posted numerous times about a similar issue but never really found a proper solution.
You can use Tasker. Set up profiles for depending how much the light sensor sees, you can have the brightness exactly how you want. Note: You need to disable auto brightness for this to work.
Two things regarding brightness I've found in 2.1 and wanting to know if I'm just missing something or what:
No more automatic brightness setting
The maximum brightness setting is about 2x as bright as the maximum setting on 1.6

There is auto brightness. it is done through a widget called power control which lets you control wifi gps etc..on the most right is ascreen brightness selector. 3 options. min auto and max brightness

Yes there is, through the widget with the wifi, gps and the other stuff.
Furthest to the right is a brightness icon that you can press to get auto brightness.

The middle setting is auto. In fact, Kindle even says 'To enable display brightness, turn off the automatic brightness adjustment in display settings.'
Mine does not ask a thing. Doesn't seem as auto option but a medium setting instead.

I have to say i miss that feature too. A lot. The middle setting is not auto. I downloaded Spareparts and enabled auto brightness but it does not seem to work. Not like 1.6 did anyway.

Jep, same her... ATM I toggle between 1%, 50% and 100% with extended controls...

Hmm...did you actually put it infront of sunlight and check if the brightness automatically changes?
Alright everyone I was wary about the absence of the auto-brightness as well but I just did a test and I can confirm that the middle setting in the brightness setting on the power control widget is for auto-brightness. You can test this too by shining a bright light at the sensor, the screen brightness should INCREASE. Obviously a few of you mistook it for MEDIUM brightness which is understandable as the auto-brightness is between the minimum and maximum brightness under most circumstances, does that make sense?
Testet it with the Widget.
Seems to work. But in my opinion it worked better in 1.6.
Ah, good! Auto brightness is a critical feature IMHO.

Really? I've set the brightness in 2.1 to 100% which is as bright as 1.6 on 50%.

I second that. Much better in 1.6. Here it does not even change. You barely notice it when going from inside to outside etc... I also tried on the Desire of a friend, and same thing. So 1.6 must have been better at that I guess.
Somebody can tell me how to disable the feature of automatic brightness, leaving it at the value I want, independently by the light? sorry if it has already been asked, but with the search function in the threads I can't answer it myself.
Hope somebody will help, because now my battery is drained too fast =(

I use the Brightness Profiles app. It seems to hold the settings after reboots.
I just played with the brightness of my Arc and noticed that the autobrightness was deactivated afterwards.
I downloaded a lot of widgets to set it back to auto, but it didn't work with a lot of them.
Then I finally found "widgetsoid" and that finally worked to set it back to auto.
So if anyone else has the same problem, here you have the right widget and don't have to spend time on finding the right app or widget.
Hope that helps you guys, because I found it beeing very annoying.

Flo
In SE's Xperia line of phones, auto-brightness is ALWAYS enabled, no matter what you do (unless you run a non-stock custom ROM).
Try this, put the brightness slider around the 40% mark, shine a light on the sensor, if there's enough light, it will go to full brightness in no time. The same goes conversely.
And how to disable without use third part apps?
have anybody tried this app ? is it good ?
i read bad reviews like :
- unable to uninstall
- lag
- flood the widget list with so many stuff
etc etc
but it just reviews, so it might not be true, i don't know...
@ doomed and Lucas:
I just put the slider to max and then back down and it didn't work untill I set it to auto again with the app I mentioned in first post.

Widgetsoid is a fantastic program and works 100% with the Arc / Arc S
The auto brightness feature does work to a point, but you can also toggle 3 different percentages to suit where you are. I have mine set at 30%, 70% and 100%. You can also have a slider if you wish.
No problems at all with the app, although it's a bit complex to set up first time you won't be able to live without it in the end. Loads of options and configurations to keep anyone happy!

Auto brightness is disabled at the minimum and maximum point, only in the middle.
Ah, didn't know that.
In the middle it just worked a bit if even
After setting it back with the app I got it working again and I hope to have the stock SE setting back now.
I'm happy.
For people who get the same strange bug this might be usefull.

+1 for widgetsoid - I'm a long time user with my current Arc and previous HTC Desires and Hero phones.
As has already been said, its a bit complicated to set up initially but allows great functionality in a single widget.
Well worth a try.
i've been playing with it for a day now.
haven't check the auto-brightness feature yet, i downloaded this app at 6pm, so its already dark here. i've taken the arc on the street at night, and under room lighting, so far i think its always stay at 30% brightness. i'll see if this feature works under direct sunlight
there's a widget to view cpu temp and storage (rom,sd,ram) status now
just wondering, is there a way to make the storage status more accurate.
most the time, the ram status doesn't show the latest status. maybe there's a setting to make it check the ram status more uptodate

i have no idea about this. please explain it for me
The only thing I hate about widgetsoid is that you can't backup your setup, so if you do a Nandroid restore, you'll have to set up each widget again. I had about 8 switches, and then you have to choose a function, colour, opacity. Really sucks.
Is there anyway to adjust the brightness level of the auto brightness?
My problem is as follows: to save energy I usually set the brightness to the lowest level. If I want to use the tablet outside literally can't see anything because of that and have to go inside to adjust it. If I use auto brightness the brightness is to high though for most purposes. My ideal would be to use the brightness level the automatic mode sets minus 10% for example.

Great Idea! I would really luike that one too. I'm pretty shure that the option doesn't exist in standard roms. But maybe an app?
I thought about looking for apps a couple of minutes after I started this thread and was kind of embarrassed. However, I didn't find any that worked the way I want them to.
I stumbled over one here in the forum lux something, but I doesn't work with jelly bean I guess.
If you find one, please let me know

Lux auto brightness does exactly what I want. You can set up different screen brightness settings for different lux values. It's an awesome app, check it out
Ive noticed when going from the home screen to the browser my screen goes a little dimmer and when I go back to the home it brightens back up also it does this on some apps.
I was wondering what could make it do that ? Auto is off and the brightness is all the way up .
im running mint jelly with fuax123 kernel .
Did you turn auto brightness off in the browser settings also?

Some apps have their own 'auto brightness setting'. Check the apps settings which are causing the fluctuation and see if there is a brightness setting.

I don't know about apps but open your browser and press the menu button, there you will see brightness. If its on auto, that is your problem.

K I checked that and its off also the apps and I couldn't find any with a brightness setting . It seems like the apps just dim a little and cant really tell if it goes back when going home but all the browsers have a slite dim its kinda like a fade and when exiting its like a instant back where it was . Hard to explain I guess.
Auto adjust screen tone under display settings turn it off and it will be fine.
