Has anyone else noticed that the auto brightness is really dark? Especially when compared to my s3 set to auto. Or do I have a messed up tablet?

No auto brightness sucks. You shouldn't use it anyway because it eats battery.
Yep mine sucks too.
How autobrightness works on the magnificent SGN 10.1:
1. Autobrightness ON: when You adjust the slider now You set the minimum brightness that the SGN 10.1 has to achieve. It will never get darker than the adjusted brightness level
2. Autobrightness OFF: set the wished brightness with the slider
It is genious that brightness can be adjusted within one tap ..........

Wow, thanks! This was my one gripe - that autobrightness was too dark in lowlight settings. I had resorted to manually setting brightness, but this is superb! Thanks again.
I don't understand this. Once you click the auto brightness box after doing this it's still too dark. With the box unchecked it does not auto adjust.

Well if you have the box checked you can adjust the lowest allowed brightness with the slider, just try it out in a dark room - Check the box and drag the slider.
With the box unchecked you have to manually adjust the brightness with the slider.

I understand that but with the box checked and level right up its way too dull and althpugh it adjusts automatically, every adjustment it makes is too dull.
Autobrightness drains your battery anyway. Just set your brightness manually. What is it, like 2 clicks?

Chill out bro, auto brightness is the bomb son. More so for phone than tab, but still I find auto on my note 10.1 to be total ****, it's always adjusting itself..to the point where I'm almost having an epileptic fit. I'm now forced to use manual as you suggested. 2 effing clicks, this is an outrage it's 20-12.

Auto-brightness is my only major complaint about this tablet. I have always set my Android phones to Auto and works great. This device it goes as dim as possible & never gets brighter.

Mine definitely does not work like this. I uncheck Auto and set my slider to Max brightness. The screen gets really bright. I then check the Auto box again and the screen goes back to too dim for my current conditions. The slider still shows Max (all the way to the right), though.
Anyway, I don't think working this way would be good, even if it worked. If I set the minimum brightness for where I want it when I'm bed, reading, and all the lights are off, it still won't be bright enough if I'm sitting on the couch, in the afternoon, with just light coming in the windows.
It needs a way to set an Auto Brightness offset or pad value, so you can tell it, for example, make the brightness always be 10 higher than what you would normally set it to.
Auto brightness is seriously off base on this device. Even set to totally bright and auto, it them dims it to an unusable point. Good thing I never use auto anyway.

Seems to work only on the intl 8010 models, not on 8013s. Ive had both, and thats been my experience. Definitely a major improvement on the 8010 and the way autobrightness should work (allow user to set minimum, then scale up from there).

I'm really not getting this. Someone said to check the box and then adjust the slider. Well, the slider doesn't move once I check the box.
When I check the box and then adjust the slider the check in the box goes away.
I can't even do that. The slider doesn't move with the box checked. I have to uncheck the box to move the slider, so I don't understand how this works at all.
I wish auto brightness worked. I prefer to use it on my other devices. Samsung really screwed the pooch. I hope there's a fix. I wonder if they even realize it's broke.
I'm not sure what it is with this phone's auto brightness but comparing it to my old nexus 5 I can see that this phones screen is always darker. I know autob its working because I sometimes see it change automatically but its just always set to be way too dark. I
f anyone else has this problem or know how to fix it without having to manually adjust the brightness that would help a ton.
Also if you changed your lux levels please post those.
On and also I do have the official screen protector on if that matters.

Yes, it is a little dark, you can go to settings/display & light and hit the little gear icon, hit adjust and set up the screen brightness you like depending on the ambient light.
i am facing that some time while scrolling brightness increases for some millisecond and come to normal. i found that is twitter, some huge page in browser page.
can any one tell what could be the issue hardware or just a software bug which can be fixed with other rom installation.
My S6 keeps randomly changing brightness even though auto brightness is off. And so I found this option via search within settings, which may very well be exactly what I was looking for but couldn't seem find it in the settings menu in developer option. Any help would be greatly appreciated

Have you tried turning off Adaptive Display? It's in Settings/Display/Screen Mode. Try any other mode besides adaptive and see if that fixes it.
If your screen still changes brightness on it's own take it in, it's most likely faulty.

HI thank for the reply. I have switched from modes to modes but it happens randomly(perhaps lighting conditions?) I suspect it's settings shown on my screenshot(according to the description) on the first post that may have been toggled on by default? But I have no luck finding that very option in developer's menu. And my power saving and auto brightness are off. Are you able to find the option?
I have had the same issues with my Note3 and Note 5. Mostly when I'm watching fullscreen video. I have to set it to maximum brightness to see outside during the day in Las Vegas because the sun is bright. But if my phone light sensor (right next to the ear speaker) is not in direct sunlight, then it doesn't keep the brightness for video. Your screen shot isn't visible though I went the rounds thinking it was a Hulu bug for a long time before I realized it happens in ask video players and isn't constant.
Hi there,
My question is:
Is it normal when this phone is on auto brightness and direct sun hits it, it makes the screen horribly saturated?
The colours look terrible, almost fluorescent.
I've had lots of Galaxy flagship phones before and never noticed this.
anyone else?

Change display mode under Settings > Display from adaptive to anything else. That's how it works now.

No, that is just the inbuilt Brightness booster going on. When hit with direct sunlight, If you phone is on auto brightness or set to maximum brightness, the display will change contrast and colour + boost the brightness to near 700 nits so that you can easily read it.

I know. But it only happens (a least for me) when the display is set to adaptive.

I've never had my phone display set on Adaptive. It's always on Basic display mode and it still does it.
Hey guys. My phone doesn't lower the brightness of the screen, for example, if i go from outside into my house or if i put my hand on the sensor. Is it normal? I think it's bad.
Is there any solution or fix for it that it will lower the brightness?
I tried the xposed module Samsung auto brightness fix for lollipop but it doesn't work.
Hope someboy knows a solution or fix
I didn't know there was a problem

Samsung messed it up with this. I use velis auto brightness app from playstore to overcome this problem.
Sounds like an issue with the sensor in your phone. Mine works, and adjusts the brightness very quickly depending on the ambient light.
