Auto brightness is off, set to max brightness and in sunlight the screen gets brighter just like the issue on the edge. I haven't found anyone having this issue on the standard S6 and the fix posted in the edge forums are only for edges. Can anyone help?
I've noticed this. Just wish it would do it more reliably as the screen is awesome when it boosts the brightness.
I'd flash a ROM that gave you this brightness boost with a simple slider.
on MM i feel like that the auto mode doesn't get to full brightness, in direct sunlight the auto mode should kick but i don't see it....in lollipop it was there....but now i don't feel it
Same problem since 6.0.1
Yeah it happens to me too, it's really annoying.
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.
hello all this is my very first post and question. I have a Samsung Galaxy A20 which is tied to MetroPCS in the United States AKA T-Mobile prepaid. Anyways this phone has the automatic brightness turned off. I still notice however that the screen will get slightly dim or bright when I'm sitting in the living room and this does not have anything to do with reflection. The brightness slider does not move either. again, I make sure the automatic brightness is turned off in settings and always have phone set to max bright.
Okay upon further research I have figured out a fix. Apparently Android pie has an adaptive brightness artificial intelligence. You have to go into device health services and reset adaptive brightness when it starts doing that. Hope this helps someone.
Edit again nevermind this morning the display is still dimming about 10 or 20 percent it looks like.
Hello,
I recently bought y9 prime. At the shop I checked the cameras but didn't notice brightness of screen, After reaching home an update automatically downloaded and I installed it. Later at night I noticed that screen brightness automatically reaches 100% when camera turns on.
I did experienced similar bug a few years back on redmi note 4 (beta ROM).
So I want to know if maximum brightness is default behavior or is it a bug.
EMUI 9.1.0
Build Number 9.1.0.223
Hi, finally I got the upgrade for 11 on my device in Japan!
But I noticed that the aod feature is no longer changing brightness automatically depending on the illumination... I've tried everything but no results.
Is it normal after the upgrade? It's impossible to check hours while in the sunlight now.
