What is the auto brightness setting for or good for???
I used a few times it made my phone reboot. Also it my phone unresponsive, I had to pull the battery and reboot.

I run on auto brightness 98% of the time, and I haven't had any reboots due to it. Are you certain it's the auto brightness feature? Are you overclocked?
All stock here.

Unlikely the autobrightness would cause your phone to reboot.
most likely if turning that option on ONLY and he starts to crash.. maybe its a faulty sensor? Replacement?

Is anyone else having issues with the auto screen brightness? I'm in bed now with all the lights off and my screen is at it's brightest. As far as I can remember, the screen has never gone dim for me. I have always had to do it manually.

Mine seems to work. I always thought it worked based on where the bar is set prior to the checkmark.

I use Quick Settings to adjust the brightness. The auto on this phone definitely isn't working correctly.
Mine works just fine. Dim when it's bright around me, bright when it's dark around me.

I feel like mine does change some, but it never seems like it's a really accurate change to the condition... or maybe I just think it does, hmm.

That's backwards. You want the brightness down when it's dark, because less light is needed to see the screen, and up when it's light, because more brightness is needed to see the screen.
I as well have had issues with the auto brightness. It never seems to change. I manually set it, or leverage a widget.
Mine works but it adjusts too frequently. It was annoying to see it going brighter and dimmer every minute or two so I tuned it off and use a widget.
Thanks, Robrecht

Glad to see I'm not crazy and imagining things. Very surprised at how many little quirks HTC let slip by on the thunderbolt.

I have always disliked auto-brightness. At night when I'm reading a book in bed, it is just way too bright at the lowest auto-bright setting. Though it was nice to automatically brighten up when I'm outside. Now days, I just stick an Android power control on the home screen and manage it myself. 0% for when I'm in bed reading books, 30% for normal every day use, 100% for when I'm outside. It seems to help the battery quite a bit too.
Its best to adjust it manually anyways... Just add a widget on your home screen lolz
What's best is not always whats preferred. It's little things like auto not working that make me miss my cyanogen'd droid 1

No they don't. They stay at the setting in the app. Paul put it out its quality
Edit: this should be in the Q&A section

Ok I installed that program
I tried it before but didn't played too much with it
Do I know if I NEED the service running 24/7 on order to work?

If your using the app, yes the service MUST run. If its built into the kernel\ROM like CM7, then you dont even need the app
You shouldn't be running a task killer anyway. Android manages its services by itself killing system apps on a regular basis can make apps that need to be running in the back ground start again wasting battery. Plus your phone will act strange after awhile. You shouldn't use them.
Again this belongs in Q&A

Moved to proper forum.
Too bad I didn't read this thread earlier, I figured this out on my own today, doing the same thing, I changed my brightness to 1 (the lowest it would stay lit) , I do think this would definitely help out on battery life.

The Touch Key Lights app DOES NOT works properly with
1) Cyan 7 mod
I am using stock Android now, it works like a charm
One touch, and the program changes the value FOREVER (even after reboots, after I re-insert the battery...)
Anyone have their display setting reset to max brightness after taking a picture or exit out of the camera app?
Sometimes when I take a picture with flash the phone will shutoff. When I turn it back on the brightness is at 100%.

Yes, actually. I recently noticed my brightness setting back to max often, and now I see it's exactly what you say

yep, same problem here. I set a Tasker profile to turn auto brightness back on when exiting the camera app to fix it.

Tasker is an app in the market
Sent from my HTC Sensation Z710e using XDA Premium App
I just wanted to add that it also happens when the phone comes out of a low power state. So if you have your low power profile click in at say 25%, then charge your phone above that, your brightness will be back to 100%.
I am also using tasker to set the brightness to auto-adjust every 2 minutes. Tasker is $6.95 in the market (but very useful for other things too).
Have had this happen a few times. Never knew the cause, just remember being blinded in the dark, lol

I have this same issue. Driving me crazy! Thanks for suggesting it might be the camera app. I think this is true. I'm going to try to remember if I ever open the camera to go into settings and reset Auto Brightness. Very annoying, but I do seem to think its related to the camera app.
When i go into the camera the brightness goes to full automatically and then when i exit it goes back to my previous setting

Same here. But if i use the auto brightness i have the issue that the brightness is still at 100% when leaving the cameraapp. Not funny i a dark room or outside at night
Auto bright
Battery killer or good for battery?
Turn it off and leave at lowest brightness.

Unless you go outside.
Juice Defender Ultimate has some brightness settings that let you tune the auto brightness. You can get it a lot darker than you normally can, and change the way it ramps up and down.
I mainly use it as a way to keep the phone from blinding me in the car or desk dock at night and still letting itself ramp to full brightness in sunlight.
As long as you live under a rock, minimum brightness should work. If you do go outside, either use the power widget to quickly change settings or just use auto. i personally like auto.

And don't forget on manual brightness you can change brightness just by sliding your finger across the top.

Lol,I forgot about that handy little tool. I been chewing my kids out cuz they kept turning it up when i let em play on it.ot so I thought.
I had much more luck just long pressing the notification bar where I want the brightness. Swiping it gave mixed results.

That's a nice trick! Thanks. I had problems with the brightness not changing reliably when swiping. (User error no doubt)

Anyone having issues with auto brightness not functioning correctly? Many times ill notice it seems pretty bright for such a dark room. Fiddle with the brightness slider and then click auto and it's back to correct auto brightness. Happens on all jb roms I've used. Forget if I had this issue with gb and ics

Default values are too bright for me, adjusted them down to a reasonable level. (on CM10)
Hey guys again, I found a bit more information on this problem. Noticed while I was in bed with phone and it on auto brightness, when I turn screen on, it "recalculates" and even though it's a pitch black room, gives me maybe 30% more light? When I toggle brightness in my power widget through and back to auto it corrects and goes to lowest brightness. Any thoughts?

Mine works, but I had to tweak the default settings. By default, it only checks the ambient light sensor when you unlock the screen. I changed it to periodically sample so that it dims/brightens as the screen is on but ambient lights changes (e.g. Turning off bedside lamp).

Don't remember everything, but here's my Settings/Display/AutomaticBacklight that I think are involved:
Enabled: checked
Window: 5s
Reset threshold: disabled
Sample interval: 1s
...
Allow light decrease: checked
