After updating to Oreo, the automatic brightness of the screen does not work properly - Sony Xperia XZ Premium Questions & Answers

I have XZ Premium dual sim CE1.
Screen brightness automatic.
Brightness changes under the ambient light, but the brightness bar does not move.
It stands 2/5 in length.
When I manually change the brightness of the bar, it will move where I touch my finger and stay there.
After a clever change of brightness, the machine stops working.
Automatic brightness does not work.
I have to enter settings, turn off auto brightness and turn it back on. Then it starts to work but the strap is in place at 2/5 length as in the beginning.
Prior to upgrading, the slider bar moved along with the automatic brightness change. After updating it is always in place.
I upgraded my phone and then repaired the software via Xperia Companion. It did not change anything. The issue still exists.
Several friends have the same problem.
Applies single and dual sim.
Please if you have similar help then fix it.
Reporting an error with the RGBC sensor has resulted.
Sony has promised to fix the bug.
Now I need to report an error with the backlight of the screen.
The thread to report a bug with brightness is here:
https://talk.sonymobile.com/t5/Xperia-XZ-Premium/Android-Oreo-Adaptive-brightness-bug/td-p/1272706

I have this problem too, mostly when it is dark the brightness keeps changing from dim to bright back and forth until I just disabled adaptive brightness. I'm pretty sure I had this problem before the update but it wasn't nearly as bad, mine is typically stuck on the lowest brightness.

Report a bug in Sony forum and help fix it.

Have Auto-Brightness problem in Nougat.
It turns dark and stays there, manual setting works without any problem

Auto brightness very bad/too dark.

I'm not sure what it is with this phone's auto brightness but comparing it to my old nexus 5 I can see that this phones screen is always darker. I know autob its working because I sometimes see it change automatically but its just always set to be way too dark. I
f anyone else has this problem or know how to fix it without having to manually adjust the brightness that would help a ton.
Also if you changed your lux levels please post those.
On and also I do have the official screen protector on if that matters.

Yes, it is a little dark, you can go to settings/display & light and hit the little gear icon, hit adjust and set up the screen brightness you like depending on the ambient light.
i am facing that some time while scrolling brightness increases for some millisecond and come to normal. i found that is twitter, some huge page in browser page.
can any one tell what could be the issue hardware or just a software bug which can be fixed with other rom installation.

Proximity and light sensor stops working

Hi all, after updating to Android L (5.0 and 5.0.1) I've noticed that the ambient and proximity sensor will stop working after a certain amount of time. The time appears to be random at the moment. It started off with the adaptive brightness not working correctly, it would always be near max brightness in the dark and minimum in bright light, and at some points it would just stop changing altogether. So I decided to get lux autobrightness, it works better than adaptive brightness in L, but it would also stop adjusting itself after awhile.
Then I noticed that sometimes during a phone call, the phone's screen will not turn off so at the moment I decided to check the sensor's value with an app when the auto brightness/proximity wasn't working anymore. Turns out that the sensors are all registering 0 values or not changing it's readings despite being in different light conditions.
A reboot fixes this but, it's really annoying having to reboot the phone once a day.
Anyone else experiencing this?
EDIT: nvm, found out that other people are experiencing this as well. Haven't been on xda for awhile and forgot how to use the search button

screen lights up randomly

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

Screen Brightness changing

With auto brightness off, sometimes when i unlock my phone the brightness increases but the brightness bar is in the same level. Then i lock the phone and unlock it and the brightness returned to normal.
If i unlock again, the brightness have increased again... To return to normal, i have to lock the phone and unlock again.
I have done 2 hard reset but the problem persists.
Maybe hardware problem?
Again, auto brightness is off.
This may be a software issue, because the problem you have is with the brightness bar not displaying correct info immediately. The issue may be an update gone wrong or an app that may be hindering your brightness meter.
You can try going to safe mode first (i forgot exact steps, but you can google it).
If issue persists, you can try flashing the latest version again via odin(you can get update zip from sammobile).
That's my take on it and i can't guarantee it to work, but this may be the most likely cause. Hope it works for you.

Display Automatic brightness Not Working Anymore !

Hi People
The Display Automatic brightness Not Working Anymore !

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.
