What exactly do you mean?

Honestly, I disable the auto backlight and leave it at 25%. Plenty of brightness in nearly all situations, and decent battery life. Use the slider in the settings to get it just the way you want. The "Brightness Widget" from the market will also work once you disable the automatic controls.

I mean the auto backlight sensitivity when in low light situations dimming to much.

If there was only a way to set a minimum brightness, using auto backlight it would be great.

I don't even notice the auto-dim anymore.

Screen brightness goes down automaticaly.

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.

Auto or manual brightness..that is the question

I have been experimenting with brightness on my sgs and how it relates to battery life. So should I keep the brightness on auto or the lowest?
I have noticed that when my brightness is set on lowest, the phone will sometime turn the brightness up a lot for no reason. I think it should be on auto brightness.
Ideas?

on the notification bar up there if you sweep it left our right it'll adjust the brightness too, just found that or. pretty damned annoying.
my brightness is on it's lowest always, unless I need to see in the sun.

Yeah.. In Froyo they don't have that "feature" (hopefully they don't enable it either).
I keep my light down to minimum too. I've had no probs looking at the screen here, but then again, it is winter and I am an evening person..

I'd say lowest setting is the best, the screen isn't difficult to see even at it's lowest. brightest just makes everything look more vibrant and awesome. you can have a separate brightness setting for the browser too.

i set mine to manual
the auto doesn't work well, i like it bright, and in auto mode, it is not bright enough for me

You are right. If you have your brightness set to Manual, you can adjust brightness by sliding left or right on the notification bar at the top.
It's a problem because you can by accident set it to high and therefore drain your battery fast.
I have setup Tasker to set brightness to 40 once every hour. 40 is about 16% of full brightness.

[Q] Do you use auto brightness or set value?

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.

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).

It might be set by the power profile which is currently active, lots of changes will be revert to set value in the power profile.
Let me know if it helps.

Try to update the MIUI
You can try to download and update MIUI and check if the issue still persists.

did you tried installing brightness control app it might work

Still doest work...
i checked my power profile, i didnt set anything at all. And about using apps,i tried several apps but still it cannot adjust my brightness at all. When i use the apps, i can control the brightness, but when i exit the app without closing it (that is by home button), the brightness will auto adjust to the max brightness.
