Reset Adaptive Brightness or crank it up? - OnePlus 8 Pro Questions & Answers

Hello everyone,
This past few days I've been having hard times reading my screen under the sun.
For the first few days I was able to read small texts with my sunglasses on...
But now it's getting complicated.
I remember there was an app to reset adaptative brightness, but it's not installed on my phone for some reason ! (EU version)
And BTW, is there any way to force maximum brightness on your phone without adaptative brightness?
TL;DR:
-how to reset adaptative brightness?
-how to force maximum brightness without adaptative brightness?
Thank you

Automatic brightness vs manual

Hi guys
Which preference do you use? Is automatic brightness option best for battery saving?
i remember it was an official battery saving tip for iPhone and wondered if it's the case for N1.
eh, just keep it on the lowest brightness... thats the best bet
the problem with auto-brightness is that it fluctuates a bit too much if you're in a room with localised lights and shadows... even in a seemingly bright area to your eyes, the display will go to lowest brightness... i just found it personally annoying, as it would usually fluctuate when i wasn't expecting, and to a lower brightness than i could stand... i've since stopped using it... i set my brightness manually to about 25%... for me that's a good balance between a usuable brightness for all conditions, while still giving good battery life...
I use auto brightness with locale which toggles it on and off based on my location. But even before I did that I really didn't notice to much of a difference in battery levels at the end of the day.
I just wish there were min and max settings for auto brightness. Cause I am pretty sure I have never needed the brightness turned all the way up.
i prefer auto brightness if it works. my 1st N1 had a glitch where the screen brightness used to flicker. on my 2nd N1 the auto brightness does not adjust on full scale........(if you go into 100% dark room, the brightness setting must automatically drop to 0)
I too found that the auto-brightness flickered too much. I downloaded Brightness Level off the marketplace and never looked back...
Auto-brightness fluctuates too much for my liking. So, I just keep it set to middle brightness.
the light sensor is unstable, so manually 25% all the time..
Auto brightness too dark
In my Nexus autobrightness works ok outdoors, but indoors it sets the light too dark. I wish it`d work fine because it's a waste of time adjusting it manually every time you move into different light conditions.
I've read Nexus users report different behaviours of their light sensors, maybe it is a bad quality component of the phone. Is there an app which can modify the sensibility of the light sensor? Would be great to adjust this sensibility and set brightness always to auto with a little more brightness indoors in my case.
manual, 25% - the best balance of battery and light for me.
i use about 60%. I hated the automatic brightness because it was darker than I would like most of the time.
My position is, I bought a phone that has a high resolution, so why not give it the brightness to make the color "pop" like they should.

[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

Changing Brightness Curve

Hello everyone,
after having had most roms from here on my N4, something bugs me on pretty much all of them: When Auto Brightness is selected, the Phone is way to dim in sun light. When i move the Brightnes slider the display gets really bright, but as soon as i release it in max position, the brightness goes down to maybe 70% (might be lower).
So is there a way to "costumize" the auto brightness curve the phone uses so that it goes up to 100% brightness faster?:good:

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.

Automatic Brightness too low

Automatic brightness enabled on my new OP6T. It constantly goes too dim, where I have to slide it up some to see the screen better.
Unlocking the phone an hour later, in same low light setting, the screen has auto dimmed itself too low again.
Anyone else feel it goes too dim on its own? Or have a solution for me?
A maximum dimness setting would be nice. Not sure if that exists though.
I'm with you 100% it keeps defaulting back to a brightness that's way to low for the environment have to constantly raise it manually. A minimum brightness setting between certain hours would be great.
I wonder if something like that can be done in tasker, keep automatic brightness on, but set the minimum to 25% or so during certain hours.

This exactly!
It's generally really low. The worst is in the dark, it's almost unseeable, unless you manually adjust it.
Phone has great battery life I just crank it 100% outdoors and 75% indoors.
I agree with what others have stated but that's why the battery life is good...I'll drain it to appease my eyeballs.
Does lux work?
+1
hopefully can be fixed with an update...
My phone was like this for the first day or two. After that it's been just fine.
I don't know if it fixed itself, or I've just gotten used to it. I'm thinking the first because it was really dark.
I have observed this on different phones. So I suppose this is an android issue. The brightness goes too low than its supposed to or it will keep adjusting. I've tried lux auto brightness on other phones, it works perfectly. But due to lack of updates I've stopped using it lately. Custom ROMs seem to handles auto brightness very well. I've tried Cyanogen and Resurrection remix on moto x play and Honor 8 pro, auto brightness was never a bother on them. Which was not the case with the OS they came installed with.

I've compared this yo my pixel 3xl and in low light situations its noticeably darker. After a few days I'm already used to it.
The smart adaptive brightness adjusts to your usage over time, once you manually raise it afew times in various situations it will adapt to this. Mine was dim to begin with but after 2 days it's fine.

LUX works after enable it in usage access. Settings>apps&notification>special apps access>usage access.
