Does anyone have problem with Automatic low brightness. When i set it, it works but when a notification comes it goes brighter (this is normal) but after 15 seconds when it goes AOD mode sometimes screen not goes dark again even in low light environment. it keeps itself bright. Then i need to push the one of the buttons to awake the watch then auto brightness low works well as it should be. I dont thing this watch has a good light sensor like s7 or s7 edge phone.

Although i notice this too, it is not sensor's fault, watch does have an excellent ambient sensor. You can test ambient sensor in:
Settings -> Gear Info -> About Device -> Tap several (5 if i remember correctly) times to Software Version -> dial *#0*# -> Sensor -> Scroll down to light sensor -> Click display -> It will show you the raw and lux values from sensor.
Now the problem is at s/w side, OS is not polling sensor readings while it is in always on display mode, so watch stays exactly at the same brightness level as it goes into the aod and since notifications keeps a screen lock that brightens the screen it enters aod with a bright screen. We should report this to the samsung for a fix probably.

Well I've found that if i close open screen menu (i mean for new notifications open gear's screen) when notification comes from samsung gear app, it doesnt happening. it stays in low light.

Did you change anything except that notification settings? I tried changing notification settings but it didn't make any difference. But flashing my watch did solve the problem or it seems so, so far. I was at R760XXU1APK6 firmware i flashed R760XXU1APK7 now. I don't know if it is fixed because of firmware difference or if it was caused by an application on the watch and flashing got rid of it. I'll update this post if it returns in any point.
Edit: I used the watch during the day today and it is back so it wasn't about firmware or apps after all. Now i regret flashing.

I have my display set to automatically adjust brightness and pretty often the display goes haywire. The lighting I'm in won't change, but the display will suddenly become much brighter or dimmer than it was a moment before.
Is anyone else having this issue, or do I have a dud?
some here. screen brightnes going crazy before and after factory reset
I always use lux (paid) and now I have it on luma (camera source for reading the light). Works perfect!
whenever the phone is just resting on the table, it will randomly just up the lockscreen for a few seconds, then turn back off.
I do not use any auto brightness. anybody else experience this? It usually happens a few minutes after it's been used.
maybe notifications waking screen to remind you. maybe background app forcing screen wake. have you only noticed this after downloading an app . maybe try deleting recent apps and seing if it persists
i have not had this same issue but with same thing ......with auto brightness off..have you noticed while using it the screen dims. gets lighter? etc you can be on internet page and your screen goes much brighter? also sometimes goes dimmer?
i beleif it to be battery optimisation . or that turning off auto brightness doesnt really turn it off. or there is bug in software that does this.

It is quite possible that ambient display is the culprit. Look in display settings and see if it is enabled.
Hello, we understand your concerns about the display and its brightness. Here are some tips to correct your auto-brightness issue.
- Your phone will automatically adjust the screen brightness according to the ambient brightness. Clear the Automatic brightness check box to manually adjust the brightness.
- For sleep mode, the screen will lock automatically after a period of inactivity to reduce power consumption. Select Sleep to adjust the screen-off time or disable the automatic screen lock feature.
If the problem persists, try backing up your device and performing a "master reset". This should help correct any buggy issues you are having with your display. (NS)
You don't receive notification and it lights up randomly, right?!
Disable voice wake-up from Settings. The same thing happened on my P8.
So voice wake-up os begins this, I've never enabled it, I didn't thought about it

Still the problem exists. I mentioned already we have automatic brightness box unchecked and still the brightness changes.
If you're on MM try to rollback to LP

Try changing Power Plan to Performance if it is set on Smart.
Sent from my HUAWEI VIE-L29 using XDA Labs
A factory reset should solve the problem, if other solutions don't work
try enabling the power saving mode
I noticed this problem from day one, when I turn the always on display settings ON the watch face enters the ambient mode then goes blank after 15-20sec.
Sometimes the watch face didn't even enter the ambient mode it directly goes blank. Does anyone have this issue ? Any way to fix this problem?
Do you have a tattoo on your wrist?

Try cleaning the heart rate sensor. I think the watch uses it to detect whether the watch is still on your wrist. If it thinks that it's not on your wrist, your screen will go blank rather than going into AOD.
Im right handed so always wore my watches on my left wrist. Turns out the tattoo on my left wrist screwed with the sensors so it never knew I was wearing it. AOD, & heart rate weren't working. Even worst, I set up samsung pay so I had to enter a pin everytime I looked at my watch for notifications! I've since switched my Gear s3 to my right wrist (tattoo free) and havent had any problems. AOD & Heart rate works, and only have to enter pin if I take watch off or fall asleep wearing it.
I have somehow the same problem. I want to use a nato strap though the HR sensor is blocked. Do I have any options to use the AOD without the HR sensor and have the AOD watchfaces available? My preference would be to use the dimmed watchface and not to set the display to 3 and have it always on (using a app).
Hi People
The Display Automatic brightness Not Working Anymore !
the display brightness doesn't change automatically anymore what ever the light condition in the room was.
in a dark room or bright sun the brightness is the same and not changing.
I have wiped Cache Partition but also nothing happened.
any body have any solution or a fix other than hard reset ?
Recalibrate auto screen brightness since Android 9 update
Since Andriod 9, my HTC U11 auto screen brightness was not working properly. It kept resetting to an almost useless 9%. There is a recalibration solution posted for Samsung phones that also seems to have worked for my HTC U11. Good luck.
With auto brightness enabled, tape your Galaxy S8 and cover the two sensors that are to the left and to the right of the earpiece.
This will trick the device into thinking you’re in a pitch black room.
Next, switch off the auto brightness feature by bringing down the status bar and moving the brightness bar to the left. Make sure you’re still covering the sensors!
Next, quickly activate the auto brightness feature and then deactivate it again. Keep the sensors covered.
Next, take your Galaxy S8 to a bright lamp or light. Stop covering the light sensors.
Put the brightness on your device to the maximum setting, then switch the auto brightness feature back on.
Your Galaxy S8 will now have had it’s auto brightness sensors recalibrated so that they work more efficiently in dark light, bright light, and everything in between.

You can try this, maybe work, it worked on mine HTC U11
https://www.theverge.com/2019/4/26/18516417/how-to-adjust-android-pie-adaptive-brightness-feature
i'm having issue when the screen isn't always bright, but when i use youtube it gets brighter.
how can i stop this?, i want it to be always bright.
Just in case this is still relevant to you or someone else:
Try to disable the "Adaptive brightness" setting in the Display settings. This will prevent the Brightness to change in connection with the enviroment lightning.
If that does not work, do you have youtube vanced installed or o you use the regular Google App?

I use normal youtube, not just it gets brighter on youtube but on every thing has to to with video, it even change colors on nividia geforce now (use it just to test the device)
To me that sounds like adaptive brightness. Check in your Android settings in display if the "adaptive brightness" is on or off. If it os On, turn it off! If that doesnt work, check if the brightness changes when you cover up your light sensor, ususally somewhere next to the fron camera. (should be a small black dot or something like that)
If the brightness changes if you cover it up and dont cover it up and you can not change the adaptive brightness setting in your settings, put a tini little peace of plack tape over it to prevent it from changing.
Otherwise I do not have a clue what might cause the issue.
