Hi,
The issue has appeared only in last few days.
- HU is running fine but always appears to be on the lowest brightness setting. It's usable by night but too dim for sunlight.
- If I try to adjust brightness, the UI shows the slider but it has no effect on the screen brightness.
- I've looked for and disabled any and all "auto brightness" settings which could be interfering.
- The unit can also auto-dim the screen when my headlights are on. I can tell it's getting this signal because the buttons on the unit light up when my headlights are on but it has no effect on screen brightness.
That's about all. Wondering if anyone has any ideas what could be going on? This is my 2nd Android Head Unit in as many years so I'm getting unbelievably frustrated.
Thanks.

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
I had to switch out my s7e and my 2nd unit keeps dimming the screen when in low light. I have brightness at max and auto brightness turned off. Are there any fixes for this? Does anyone know if the Base (sp) rom fixes this?
Test if your device does this: set screen to max brightness and turn auto brightness off. turn your screen off. Turn off the light in your room. Turn screen on and unlock screen. It should be a bit dimmer. Now turn screen off, turn the rooms light back on, and turn the phone back on. It should now be brighter. Does your phone do this?
Bump
Mine does it too and while this issue has been documented on different forums I have yet to see a real season or fix. Found posts about it also happening on the S6. It is irritating as I thought that auto brightness turned off should completely prevent this. You can trigger changes by covering/uncovering the proximity sensors at the front top of the phone with your fingers.
I am wondering if it's possible to have the screen dim to let's say 25% when the headlights are switched on?
Thank you.

Yes..the autodim...is automatic
If you have the illum wire correctly plugged (by canbus or by direct connection from your car to the headunit) you have to enable the option on factory settings ("other" tab) under the option "brightness"

For my head unit that only illuminates the physical buttons of the unit but the screen is still bright.

This autodim feature is enabled on my 2018 Mistubishi Outlander Android Auto and pretty much renders the screen and GPS navigation useless during the day with headlights on, and I'm looking for a way to turn it off. It's required in my state to have headlights on during several driving conditions during the day, which dims the screen to the point of being effectively unviewable, especially with navigation apps, which also switch to night-mode display. So I have GPS map displaying black roads on dark black background in a dim screen that is a no-kidding-this-is-honestly-unusable level of ridiculous.

Any solution to this ? My 2018 Outlander GT same issue basically unreadable. I'm thinking of replacing it with a better display all together if possible. I can't stand a display on any device that isn't bright enough.
Hi,
I have Chevrolet sonic and I buy witson unit direct fit with canbus, px5 4gb ram 32 rom.
The unit have 2 brightness settings, default and night mode.
the night mode suppose to activate when car lights are on, on my can I have automatic lights system and the automatic light is activated, when I turn on the car druing sunny day the drl (day running lights) are on, and the android thinks that lights are on so the night mode is activated al the time..
if I shutdown the lights on the car completely, then the android brightness is OK.
I can't find any solution for that issue, I do needs drl by law in Israel druing winter, but I need lower brightness from the android at night too.
Anyone had such issue and found a solution? Maybe there is some app thsr can change brightness by time of day?
Thanks!
Anyone?

Try going into the factory setting menu, password 126 and on the last page there is a setting for brightness trigger method - I can't remember the exact name but have a look. It worked for me on my Eonon MTCE PX5
I just installed an Atoto A6 Pro. For about a day, the brightness adjustments were working. It is set up to dim with the headlights and moving the brightness adjuster worked great. Today, I noticed that the screen would not dim when I turned on my headlights. The LED lights on the buttons would dim, however the screen would not change. I tried manually adjusting the brightness through sliding the slider back and forth and nothing is happening. I have restarted the system a few times and that did not work. I have installed Headunit Reloaded and I am wondering if this is what is causing this issue, but I deleted the app and restarted and the issue still persists. Anyone have any clue how to fix this?
What did the reseller suggest?

I contacted ATOTO support and they haven't responded just yet. I bought it directly from Amazon new. I am wondering if it is a software issue because the brightness adjuster doesn't even work.
