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.

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.

[Q] Brightness does not come back to full

Since I got this phone, I see this happening.
If I touch the screen immediately as the phone becomes dark after 30 secs of no interaction, the brightness increases but not to the full level.
This happens when auto and preset brightness.
Returns to full brightness if I tinker the brightness setting - eg. If I turn auto brightness on then off.
Anyone knows what's going on?

Do you have any xposed modules installed?
Sounds like 2 or more modules/apps are having a punch up

Auto-brightness still too low on 4.5.11

Hello guys, I installed 4.5.11, but auto-brightness is very agressive, many times i find it on the lowest setting. Any way to fix this? I just want it a bit higher.
Seems like Oneplus is having everything that saves battery on, from brightness to Doze. As some notifications didn't show untill i opened the app. Usually whatsapp. Personally, instead of 7h of screen on time, i prefer having "just" 6 and everything working good. Just got this phone, 6-7 hours of SOT on a 3300mah battery is insane!

This is very stupid. I have the same problem. I dont know why OnePlus don't make AutoBrightness ajustable like Samsung in Touchwiz for ex...

same with me, when autobrightness in darker room, display is always set to lowest brightness ever. really annoying.

On my side, I really love the way auto brightness behave on my OP5. Too much light is not good for the eyes.

Exactly, the user should be able to set a default level, then auto brightness goes from there.
For those who have sensitive eyes, you can always use night mode. It just block the blue light that is mostly responsible to keep is awake.

When the auto brightness is too low did you go into Settings / Display and move the Adaptive Brightness slider to your desired brightness? I am now in a very dark room and the slider isn't all the way down to the minimum. I can see my screen fine.

Yeah or i do it from the status bar. Still after a while it returns to a lower level. While i already want it on a low level, it's too agressive. I whish i could raise it by 10-20%.

Yeah, that slider doesn't adjust the adaptive brightness level like it would on a Nexus or Pixel device. It remains as a standard brightness level instead

Well, we could install xposed to fix the brightness. But then i don't know i want to install all of that just for brightness.
