Hi! I'm a first time poster here, have had my TP for a week now (previously used SE UIQ phones). Anyways, first I just wanted to THANK all of YOU who make these amazing apps and tweaks for this very cool phone!
Now to the point. I like the idea that the light sensor adjusts the backlight level automatically, but I find it much too bright especially in very dark conditions. Even if it's completely dark, the backlight doesn't go all the way down, i.e. I can make it much dimmer by manually setting the brightness to a low level.
Is there any way to "calibrate" the brightness for the auto adjusted backlight (so that if it's dark it would lower the brightness even more than it does now, and if it's bright it would set the backlight to 100%)?
Thanks!
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.
Hi, I have a problem, I have set adaptive brightness and now even when it's completely dark my phone is bright as lightbulb. When I switch adaptive brightness to off and manually set brightness it is going much lower.
Appa show 69 lux all style time, sensor fault?
Does anybody of you have similar problem ?
Either the sensor is bad or there's an obstruction. Are you using a screen protector? Some have poor clarity which really messes with the ambient light sensor.
It looks like there is some problem with sensor itself or os, as sometimes it stuck and show constant value for example 0 or 50 etc, restarts didn't help so I have contacted EE and today I will receive new phone as replacement.
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.
I have searched near and far and don't see other results. Has anyone had problems with their automatic brightness? On mine, it fluctuates from dim to bright in static light conditions constantly. It makes the feature un-usable, have to set brightness manually.
Have tried turning peek display, attentive display etc on or off. No change.
Seems sensitive, yes. Mine always gets too dim, then, when I angle the phone so the screen is awash in light it brightens right up. Same room, same arm, same position, just tilted a bit. Thanks, I hate it. Defaults to dim instead of brighter - it should default to 65% and go from there.
Android auto brightness has always been a sloppy abortion.
Use manual control, it's far easier on the eyes and mind. You can easily limit brightness to 50% or less so you don't put unnecessary wear on the OLED display
