Hi!
My auto brightness keeps resetting it selfs back to manual brightness.
Does anyone know why?
Mine does that too, usually when I go into Settings. I know other people have had trouble with it resetting after using the camera.

Are you using the same ROM as me?
I have not updates to 401.3 just because i'm lazy... maybe this problem has been fixed in this newer version....?!

+1 same here. Every time that my phone power dips below a certain number it disables auto brightness and puts the brightness to full, which is not only annoying, it is counter intuitive. I've tried changing my brightness to something low before enabling auto brightness, in hopes that when the phone disables auto brightness on low power it will move to a low brightness state, but that doesn't do anything either. It still goes to full brightness when battery levels get low enough.

Same for me, so what I do is use the dimmer app, and so when my power gets low and the brightness goes to full, I click the widget and it turns the brightness down to minimum.
I've got the same problem, and I am just using the default HTC sense software, no custom firmware flashed.
try clearing data. it must be a stale config in your settings

Clear what and where?
I think they mean in settings/applications/manage applications/all
But Im not sure if they mean the HTC sense software entries, to clear the data for those. Be warned though, I think this will reset all your settings and customizations.

Hello,
I have this issue with CM10, when i unlock my phone, sometimes the screen is on minimum brightness and really hard to see(especially outside in the sun, this is a major pain in the ass)
I tried to change the brightness settings, no effect(the autobrightness is disabled, i can't turn it on or off.)
I've read somewhere that you need to turn off all the animations in the developer options. I did that, but it doesn't help.
What can i do? is there some file where i can edit the brightness values? I wouldn't mind only being able to use a single brightness level, as long as it's bright enough.
If you have any tips, please share.
Thanks!
I've got the same issue! Any solutions??

this app did the trick:
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.hatcyl.android.Disable_Auto_Brightness
After installing this, nothing happens when I click the app shortcut!
Way too bright. Never remembers my preferences. Every time I turn in the screen, even in a dark room, brightness us 50%. I'm constantly turning it down but it goes back up.
How can I fix this? I refuse to believe my only option is a third party brightness app.
-EDIT- Here's the solve:
Just go to apps>settings>applications>application manager>more>reset apps preferences. This clears out any personalized brightness settings. This worked immediately.
Well turn auto brightness off.

Yes that is, you set the brightness the level you want, manually.

No. I want auto brightness to adjust to the ambient light. That's the point of auto brightness. 50% brightness in a movie theatre means something isn't working right. And the S7 auto brightness is supposed to be personalized to the user but obviously this isn't working either.
Mine is working just fine in any ambient, I don't know what settings you mess up with.

I don't know! users are prone to do such a thing when they mess up with their phone.
Make a backup, reset your phone and try again. Mine still works just fine.
alright, smart alecs. Just talked to Samsung Support. Just simply go to apps>settings>applications>application manager>more>reset apps preferences. This seemed to fix it. The tech said sometimes carrier updates can corrupt settings. So that's neat...

How do you mess up with app manager?
Installing stuff on your smartphone!
So...
Users are prone to do this. Again mine and everybody's else are working just fine.

I don't understand what you're saying. I didn't mess up any settings because there are none for me to mess up. But thanks for the help?

Every time you install an app on your phone they change something. Some times are nothing important, other times they mess with the whole system settings.
Glad your settings are working now.
Actually i had the same problem when i got the phone, did a bit of search n found it has a smart brightness feature.
You have to choose ur brightness level according to the ambient light in the room cuz it remembers each time you set the brightness level according how much light the sensor is picking.
Short answer, keep changing the level of brightness for couple days until it learns the new levels.

Ya I did all of that and it wasn't adjusting to my preferences. That's was the problem. Resetting as described fixed it as it relearned my preferences

When I'm outdoor in extreme sunlight the phone's brightness goes all the way up and then it enters a mode where colours seems washed out. But only if the light is very strong. Does your S7 behave the same?
I may have to give that app settings reset a try. At first the auto function seemed fine. As time passed it grew worse. However, mine would be too dark in dimly lit situations and semi-acceptable in bright conditions. I finally turned off automatic as it was extremely annoying and almost always incorrect.

Yes. That's a special boost mode I think. Without it the screen wouldn't get bright enough to see well.
Hey guys
Is there any way to max out the brightness even more? When it's light its hard to see my screen. I need a bit more back lighting.
Is there a software fix?
Bump....
No software is going to be able to override a hardware limitation.

Well is there software for it? Because I'm pretty sure it's not the hardware...
The software is the brightness slider in Android. I am not sure where you are going with this. If you are thinking that the you can "unlock" higher brightness than the max setting on the slider, you are mistaken. The max brightness is the max brightness the panel can put out. These are very cheap panels, don't expect much.
You sure its not turned down, and have some auto adjust settings turned on? In the system preferences in 5.1.1. there is now settings for day and night levels and auto adjustment. Mine was dim everytime I rebooted after I updated to later versions of Malaysk 5.1.1 ROM's until I figured out where those automatic brightness settings were.

Nope, i checked it a hundred times haha
So why is it too low with you? Do you have a sunroof or something so that there is more light reflection on it then normal?
I just like a really bright screen TBH
Not sure its only me or the Adaptive brightness option is way too "sensitive" after upgrading to oreo... Its like brightness gets "moving" every tick my phone moves Could it be a bug? Or configurable somewhere in services settings? Pretty annoying

Yes, it's annoying, unfortunately there isn't a setting to configure. Maybe some dev could light us and port this settings from nougat to oreo
also experiencing the same issue, it keep adjusting very quickly
the auto adopt brightness is so sensitive after upgrading to OREO.
Same issue. I have to turn off auto and set brighness manually
Yes. Back to manual

I have the same issue here and it is annoying
same to me, on Nougat/MM, the changes between light levels happen quite smoothly, but on oreo they all feel choppy and disruptive.
same issue here and probably all the users arround the world...good job Sony ur geting better every time ¨sarcazm¨
hi,
Now after the pie update we got this super new feature...
But in my case most of the time my display brightness is to dark. I always have to adjust it manually.
Is there any way to reset adaptive brightness? There are some tutorials in the internet but on my HTC I don't have this reset feature.
Best regards

Uhm... That is adaptive brightness right there. You SHOULD adjust the brightness when you're in a specific place and your phone will eventually "learn" it a few times you're in that area.
Note that adaptive brightness is a combination of sensor, location and even network (whether you're connected to some WiFi).
Again, when it's dark, INCREASE your brightness. Do that a couple of times when you go back to the same place. THAT is how you calibrate adaptive brightness.
And still it don't work like I want it. In my home network it dimes always to dark. I have adjusted it hundred times. But still no changes...
