Ive tried putting my phone in auto brightness before, it always stays really bright. And then if I turn off auto brightness and set it to the lowest setting, it sometimes jumps back to brighter settings.
Well, I flashed the new JH3 rom yesterday and quite a few people in the JH2/3 threads said that the light sensor works much better, I set mine to auto brightness and I get nothing, it literally doesnt auto adjust AT ALL... So I downloaded two apps,light sensor and ProximityLightTester. Light Sensor just says "no value", and proximityLightSensor... well it was jumping from 6 to 5000 (literally, just those two values) with lots of lag between bringing it into light/taking it in a pitch black room. Now it just says no value as well... I have 1 week before the thirty days is up
Ideas/help?? Im just not sure if these apps are made to work with captivates and if that is the reason its not working
These apps don't work for me either so don't deal out about that. Unfortunately that's all I can help you with
Huh... well good to know. But if you set your phone to auto brightness and put your hand over the light sensor, does the screen get dim? I mean, I assume it would, but mine doesnt.
Hi guys,Iam not sure auto brightness works for me? Can someone tell me if its fine on they're device? With my htc one i had auto brightness ticked and if i went from a dark room to a room with light ........... i would see the screen get brighter, as it was meant to, but on this phone iam seeing no change? unless its very subtle!! I have auto brightness ticked and the brightness bar just above half way just as i had done on my htc one! If i untick auto brightness then the brightness near blinds me lol so iam not sure why it isnt working in auto mode!
Its because on Sony phones, this change is more slowly so it appers to you that light is always the same "its slow, so your eyes can get used to new setting"..
It is more natural than change in one second.
I have tried this by sticking the phone under a led lamp to check it and the post advice this is correct. You have to concentrate on the screen to notice it changing.

Interesting, Thanks guys!
Auto brightness is off, set to max brightness and in sunlight the screen gets brighter just like the issue on the edge. I haven't found anyone having this issue on the standard S6 and the fix posted in the edge forums are only for edges. Can anyone help?
I've noticed this. Just wish it would do it more reliably as the screen is awesome when it boosts the brightness.
I'd flash a ROM that gave you this brightness boost with a simple slider.
on MM i feel like that the auto mode doesn't get to full brightness, in direct sunlight the auto mode should kick but i don't see it....in lollipop it was there....but now i don't feel it
Same problem since 6.0.1
Yeah it happens to me too, it's really annoying.
Now that I've had my phone for a couple of days I've noticed that the Always On Display automatically dims when you enter a dark room, and becomes much brighter when exposed to light. The problems is that it's too dark to be particularly useful when it's dimmed. I've searched, but can't find a way to adjust the level of brightness for the AOD.
Anyone else noticing this problem? Anyone aware of a method or an app which can remedy it?
Thanks!
Mines is the other way around 95% of the time the screen is very bright to me.
I wish there was a setting for it but i cant find one.
When auto brightness is enabled and I'm viewing the phone in direct sunlight, the maximum brightness seems to change really quickly. It brightens and dims quickly, almost qausing a feeling of screenflicker.
With auto brightness off, the problem is non existent.
It only happens when the phone hits 100% brightness. Anyone noticed this. And is there a solution other than turning auto brightness off?
Yes I noticed this today just got mine today and sat out in sun with auto brightness on it was flashing like mad ,

For me autobrightness is useless. Simply too dark in all conditions. Also max brightness is not enough for when you have direct sun on the screen.

I have noticed the same, it's usually too dark for my taste.. would be nice if you could config how dim it goes automatically.
O saw the flickering in sunlight as well. Probably a bug
I finally gave up and installed the Lux app. Hopefully they will solve the issue in the next updates.

You're all insane. This phone has the best auto brightness I've ever used. It's very responsive without changing so fast that it becomes an issue in flickering light conditions like walking past trees where sunlight filters through or something.
I have the same problem, yes.
OLED displays have two "maximum" brightnesses; the normal maximum, which is intended for full-time use, and High Brightness/Sunlight Mode, which maxes the pixel brightnesses out for temporary outdoors full-sunlight usage.
The OP6 might have the threshold for what it considers "full sunlight" set too high, which would cause a lot of flickering in the event that the phone isn't held perfectly still in sunlight because of the light sensor output dancing back and forth across the threshold.
There's probably no changing it until someone rolls out a custom kernel in which it can be disabled or tweaked, in the meantime you can find auto-brightness apps on the Play Store that let you set custom curves (note that this'll probably require root). Hopefully OnePlus will fix it in the stock kernel themselves, terrible auto-brightness can make or break a phone in my opinion : \

I would not hold your breath. It was an issue on the 5t and not sorted during the time I had it.
Can't say I've noticed the issue on the 6 though with adaptive brightness mode enabled
Couldn't agree more autobrightness seems too dark on my op6. Under direct sunlight, I have to disable auto and full the bar myself..
Auto-Brightness is too dark for me too... Hope OnePlus will be updated this, or add the possibility to adjust the Auto-Brightness.
The minimum auto-brightness can be adjusted from the slider, it will still be auto increasing when needed but it won't go below your threshold.
I'm testing this for a few days and it's working perfect, the minimum was also to low for me initially.
I've tested the auto-brightness with a flashlight:

EVERYONE WITH BRIGHTNESS ISSUE,
There are No problems with screen, it's flawless.. Although people dealing with auto brightness issue,should disable the night mode.. Cause when night mode is active, auto brightness tends to use more dark screen as dark as possible..
Regards.

I never said I have problems with the screen. Auto brightness is causing issues at Max brightness.
Night mode is off. Thanks for your comment though.

Actually I like yellow tinted screen(warm colors) , for that I enabled night mode. Since then I was facing problems like too dark in direct sun on auto brightness. Too dark even in room. Today I accidentally turned off night mode while showing handset to my friends.. And voila brightness got up nd up nd up... I tried in direct sunlight, now I don't have any problem viewing my handset even after wearing shades..
If there is still problem in ur auto brightness then bro I strongly suggest u to compare ur handset with other op6 cause it could be a manufacturing defects... I heard a developer got flickering issues, he returned handset..
Regards.

Nope. Is bad
I have auto tightness issue also. Have not noticed flashing, but screen dims often. Even when using phone, and in a steady lighted area such as indoors.
