Not sure its only me or the Adaptive brightness option is way too "sensitive" after upgrading to oreo... Its like brightness gets "moving" every tick my phone moves Could it be a bug? Or configurable somewhere in services settings? Pretty annoying

Yes, it's annoying, unfortunately there isn't a setting to configure. Maybe some dev could light us and port this settings from nougat to oreo
also experiencing the same issue, it keep adjusting very quickly
the auto adopt brightness is so sensitive after upgrading to OREO.
Same issue. I have to turn off auto and set brighness manually
Yes. Back to manual

I have the same issue here and it is annoying
same to me, on Nougat/MM, the changes between light levels happen quite smoothly, but on oreo they all feel choppy and disruptive.
same issue here and probably all the users arround the world...good job Sony ur geting better every time ¨sarcazm¨

Hi!
My auto brightness keeps resetting it selfs back to manual brightness.
Does anyone know why?
Mine does that too, usually when I go into Settings. I know other people have had trouble with it resetting after using the camera.

Are you using the same ROM as me?
I have not updates to 401.3 just because i'm lazy... maybe this problem has been fixed in this newer version....?!

+1 same here. Every time that my phone power dips below a certain number it disables auto brightness and puts the brightness to full, which is not only annoying, it is counter intuitive. I've tried changing my brightness to something low before enabling auto brightness, in hopes that when the phone disables auto brightness on low power it will move to a low brightness state, but that doesn't do anything either. It still goes to full brightness when battery levels get low enough.

Same for me, so what I do is use the dimmer app, and so when my power gets low and the brightness goes to full, I click the widget and it turns the brightness down to minimum.
I've got the same problem, and I am just using the default HTC sense software, no custom firmware flashed.
try clearing data. it must be a stale config in your settings

Clear what and where?
I think they mean in settings/applications/manage applications/all
But Im not sure if they mean the HTC sense software entries, to clear the data for those. Be warned though, I think this will reset all your settings and customizations.

That we don't want I'll wait for a new ROM and meantime i keep my eyes on this manually!
Way too bright. Never remembers my preferences. Every time I turn in the screen, even in a dark room, brightness us 50%. I'm constantly turning it down but it goes back up.
How can I fix this? I refuse to believe my only option is a third party brightness app.
-EDIT- Here's the solve:
Just go to apps>settings>applications>application manager>more>reset apps preferences. This clears out any personalized brightness settings. This worked immediately.
Well turn auto brightness off.

No. I want auto brightness to adjust to the ambient light. That's the point of auto brightness. 50% brightness in a movie theatre means something isn't working right. And the S7 auto brightness is supposed to be personalized to the user but obviously this isn't working either.
Mine is working just fine in any ambient, I don't know what settings you mess up with.

Make a backup, reset your phone and try again. Mine still works just fine.
alright, smart alecs. Just talked to Samsung Support. Just simply go to apps>settings>applications>application manager>more>reset apps preferences. This seemed to fix it. The tech said sometimes carrier updates can corrupt settings. So that's neat...

How do you mess up with app manager?
Installing stuff on your smartphone!
So...
Users are prone to do this. Again mine and everybody's else are working just fine.

Every time you install an app on your phone they change something. Some times are nothing important, other times they mess with the whole system settings.
Glad your settings are working now.
Actually i had the same problem when i got the phone, did a bit of search n found it has a smart brightness feature.
You have to choose ur brightness level according to the ambient light in the room cuz it remembers each time you set the brightness level according how much light the sensor is picking.
Short answer, keep changing the level of brightness for couple days until it learns the new levels.

Ya I did all of that and it wasn't adjusting to my preferences. That's was the problem. Resetting as described fixed it as it relearned my preferences

When I'm outdoor in extreme sunlight the phone's brightness goes all the way up and then it enters a mode where colours seems washed out. But only if the light is very strong. Does your S7 behave the same?
I may have to give that app settings reset a try. At first the auto function seemed fine. As time passed it grew worse. However, mine would be too dark in dimly lit situations and semi-acceptable in bright conditions. I finally turned off automatic as it was extremely annoying and almost always incorrect.

Yes. That's a special boost mode I think. Without it the screen wouldn't get bright enough to see well.
Hey guys
Is there any way to max out the brightness even more? When it's light its hard to see my screen. I need a bit more back lighting.
Is there a software fix?
Bump....
No software is going to be able to override a hardware limitation.

Well is there software for it? Because I'm pretty sure it's not the hardware...
The software is the brightness slider in Android. I am not sure where you are going with this. If you are thinking that the you can "unlock" higher brightness than the max setting on the slider, you are mistaken. The max brightness is the max brightness the panel can put out. These are very cheap panels, don't expect much.
You sure its not turned down, and have some auto adjust settings turned on? In the system preferences in 5.1.1. there is now settings for day and night levels and auto adjustment. Mine was dim everytime I rebooted after I updated to later versions of Malaysk 5.1.1 ROM's until I figured out where those automatic brightness settings were.

Nope, i checked it a hundred times haha
So why is it too low with you? Do you have a sunroof or something so that there is more light reflection on it then normal?
I just like a really bright screen TBH
I just received my mix2s last weekend, and I have been using it for several days.
But through these days, I find it that when you turned off the automatic brightness, and the phone is displaying some dark or black contents, the brightness will get lower by itself, but when you turn to some colorful or brighter contents, the btightness will get back to normal itself.
so I'm wondering is there anyone got the same problem like me? and how can I turn it off? I mean, just don't turn down the brightness itself when showing dark contents.
Just checked it on my phone and you are right, screen becomes darker when you display dark content. Also with auto brightness disabled. Maybe it has something to do with the automatic contrast settings
Edit: I was right, if you disable automatic contrast the brightness stays like you set it

can you tell me where is the "automatic contrast" settings? seems that miui just deleted it
It seems to be a problem since the last mix 2. you can try search on google and on this forum.
There are few fixes you can do, just go over the search. I didn't do it myself because I just manually adjust the brightness myself. It is pretty annoying though.

Maybe with a third party app that changes the contrast? You would need root privileges for an app like this I think...

Thank you I could not figure out what was causing this on my phone. When watching Youtube on lowest brightness at night the screen would fluctuate and it drives me crazy. Did not know that had something to do with it but now I know.
This is an old thread, but it's high on Google rankings, so I'm adding to it.
I think my main annoyance with this is the position of the sensor. If I'm typing or scrolling with my thumb, it seems I'm covering the sensor with my hand, so it thinks it's gone dark, so decreases brightness.
Disabling the auto brightness fixed it for me

Hi all.
Is it me or the auto brightness of Pie works way worse compared to Oreo' one?
Too much bright inside, too much dark outside.
Just my impressions. Your thoughts?
Hints / Suggestions?

Definately worse that Oreo. The pie stable was just a rushed update
For me, the auto brightness initially was working on the extreme ends on pie, but after constantly adjusting it to suit my needs, adaptive brightness has worked it's magic and now for me works exactly as I'd want it to work.

Do you mean it is an official documented / mentioned feature the fact that leaving adaptive brightness on and still manually correct it, will lead in time to system recognizing your needs and slowly adjust accordingly?
Or is it something we're just guessing?

It is something that I have experienced after the update to pie.
The Pie update is just a friggin mess. Horrible brightness, time zone changing, bank apps not working, future alarm notifications, awful interface with the info cards and pull down menu notifications, websites loading strange, developer options nested in another settings menu, less options in the settings area, phone dialer button is green... I rolled back to 5.1.11 because of all the hassle.
And yes, I have bug reports and yes, I even tried it with a full wipe and fresh flash of 9.0. Between Google's design choices and the bugs, Pie is awful.
It has always been really bad for me.... Too dark all the time.... it doesn't really respond accurately and fast enough....

WTF ls the point have having Auto brightness if you need to set it manually for a little while? This is just a bad excuse for a poorly see everyone's feature. Nobothern9honebhas this issue and even on Oreo it wasn't an issue

Go and read about it, ask google. I think now its called adaptive auto brightbess or smntg like that, just use it adjusting just will help it for auto feature to give the best screen brightness. Not everyone sees the same in the same light conditions. So this new adaptive brightness in pie is aiming to that. By adjusting it to your needs how u see it better in different light conditions it just helps phone to learn about everyones different vision/seeing levels.
But it just my opinionl

I have read about it and apparently it's a WIP. Doesn't make sense to put a WIP feature in a stable build. Don't get me wrong I love the OP6 and the pie release is ok but it was very much rushed out. They should have taken there time and released a pie build that was perfect. Beta builds should be used to make changes and fixes.
