Hi,
On the N900 you can set auto brightness with an actual brightness level. This way you get the best of both worlds. You set how bright you want it and based on the ambient lighting conditions the brightness is adjusted.
So you set it to say 50%. Go outside and it will increase the brightness to maximum because its trying to keep a perceived brightness of 50%.
Set it to 25% go outside and it'd probably go up to about 50% to keep the same perceived setting.
Get it? Good. Now where's the app!?
ahh this would be killer
I love the auto bright but hate that at night its Still not dim enough (I want it ALL the way down at night
seems like no matter where I set the brightness slider then hit auto brightness the brightness goes to lowest brightness setting, not sure how it works..

yeah i've never seen mine work either. luckily the keyboard dock has brightness buttons so that helps a lot.
Do you have 3.1 yet? Auto brightness seems to be considerably better in 3.1. First, it is brighter, second, I've actually seen it change, both up and down, and it seems to respond to lighting changes a lot faster.
just got it. i'll give it a shot over the next couple days.

I have 3.1 and new b60 serial numbered unit and my auto brightness is always too dark.
same here, 3.1. auto brightness is always in the lowest setting.
Same here AutoBrightness always made it way too dark for me, I just use the slider.
works perfectly fine for me. Go from a bright outdoors setting to a darker setting inside and you will see the auto brightness do its thing
The auto brightness work but it setting is way too dark.
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.
Has anyone else had issues with their Adaptive Brightness not working. Toggling the setting has no effect on my display. For such an expensive phone I expect things like this to work.
Yes, it doesn't work that great for me either. I mean I can see it adjusts the brightness "somewhat". But it appears it is not nearly as dramatic as on my Galaxy S7 which would pretty much perfectly adjust the brightness.
I agree that a phone this expensive should do it correctly out of the box. Google please listen.
This is the intended function as I understood it, so I googled it and here confirms. This is not intended to operate the same as auto brightness many other phones use.
In Android L, Google's introduced a new feature called Adaptive Brightness that combines manual and auto brightness. You can manually adjust the brightness level to a state you like. Once it's set, your screen will adjust based on ambient light so it stays at the same brightness relative to the light around you. This way you can set the screen to your preferences without sticking to an absolute level.

Been this way a long time. Would this be your first Nexus/Pixel phone?

The problem I have is that every time the phone is rebooted, adaptive brightness is set back to Off, even though it was On when the phone was restarted. Running NDE63V and not rooted.
Hey!
I got a new S7 and updated it to Andoird 7.
Since it get's dark where I live I noticed that the brightness adjustment after unlocking is quite slow when being in a darker environment.
The brighter my environment is - the faster the brightness adjustment gets - even to the point where the brightness is fully adjusted during the unlocking process.
Since I haven't had this with every mobile phone I ever owned I quite curious if all of you face the same "issue".
Screen brightness is set to auto. Same happens when auto is diabled. It's like Samsung doesn't want to go to the desired brightness in the darkness to let our eyes adjust better to the screen's brightness. (Just a suggestion from me).
I made a short video you can find here:

Thanks in advance for your answers!
