Don't know if this had been mentioned. I searched for it and could not find anything. I use my phone on the lowest brightness setting at all times. When I use the camera the brightness turns to full and stays on maximum brightness even after the camera is turned off.
You try turning the screen off and on again? That usually fixes the problem for me.

I'm truly getting tired of this. I want auto dim turned off completely. Every 10 seconds I'm not touching the screen, it auto dims. I have the screen to stay on when charging and not to sleep for minutes when not charging. But the Auto dim stays on.
I've seen an app that shuts it off under specific apps. But That app is a fail to me. I want it off! I never want the screen to auto dim. The device has auto backlight brightness and that is all I want.
Anyone knows how I can do this? Maybe a file to edit? something?
Device: Galaxy Tab 7, CWM 5 with CM9
Nobody seriously knows how to shut off the auto dim?
On gingerbread there was an option to turn off the screen timeout in display settings but in ics they removed that option. Can anyone tell me if there is a way to disable the screen timeout? My phone spends all day in the car dock and I like to see what is going on with it without turn it back on every 10 minutes.

What am i missing regarding screen auto brightness? I keep having to manually change brightness when going from light to dark places even though i have "adapt to lighting conditions" ticked?
It feels like im wasting battery having the screen so bright at night unless i turn it down, then I have to turn it up again in the morning.. Some secret setting?

Same here, Someone said that the screen does dim but it does so slowly so you barely notice it! Hoever iam not convinced! Iam almost certain mine is not adjusting at all
For normal day light conditions i feel the auto brightness adjusts very well. Its definitely better than the s4 i had. I have the auto brightness selected and the bar at 50%. I agree for night time reading i have to manually adjust the brightness may be its not as quick to adjust in very low light conditions compared to day light
I was using CM11 on the S4 which had very good brightness control, not sure about standard. I agree during the day I don't have problems at all, and the screen is very good. It's just when I'm somewhere with low brightness and I have to turn it down, and then when I go back into day I have to turn it back up again. Pretty annoying having to change it all the time.
I will get an app to do it for me for now, but this must be some sort of bug this action couldn't be on purpose.

Go to service test and test it your self.

I find the auto brightness not very good.
Sometimes when the lighting condition does not change, it will start to increase/decrease the brightness to the level which does not suit the lighting condition.
It also have the tendency to favor lower brightness.
Thinking of trying out Lux Auto Brightness instead.

I don't know if you mean to test the sensor, but the sensor works absolutely fine (with other apps)
My auto brightness works just fine and i have mine on lowest possible setting.
I noticed that my auto brightness will adjust and get bright when I turn on a light but then immediately when I turn the light off the brightness doesn't go back down. Anyone else have this? I'm guessing it's software?

I wanna say its a known issue with the S6, google shows lots of hits.
I have S6 FLAT, and the autobrightness work ok if the phone are horizontal. But if i have the phone in my hand (in an angle more than 10 ° / 20 °) the auto brightnes bright the screen, but when i turn the light off the brightness doesnt back down. But if the phone are horizontal (0° in my hand or in a table, the brightnes bright up and down without problems)
Try to test the auto brightness feature with your phone horizontally.
