Sadly yes on my case. Do we have some kind of code to stop this? I dont want to reset my phone.

You can also disable/enable auto brightness from the quick settings menu fyi

This problem occur when i connect my phone to my car headunit. The brightness keeps turning on on its own. My headunit is windows CE based so maybe, some kind of codes keeps triggering the brightness on.

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!
My S6 keeps randomly changing brightness even though auto brightness is off. And so I found this option via search within settings, which may very well be exactly what I was looking for but couldn't seem find it in the settings menu in developer option. Any help would be greatly appreciated

Have you tried turning off Adaptive Display? It's in Settings/Display/Screen Mode. Try any other mode besides adaptive and see if that fixes it.
If your screen still changes brightness on it's own take it in, it's most likely faulty.

HI thank for the reply. I have switched from modes to modes but it happens randomly(perhaps lighting conditions?) I suspect it's settings shown on my screenshot(according to the description) on the first post that may have been toggled on by default? But I have no luck finding that very option in developer's menu. And my power saving and auto brightness are off. Are you able to find the option?
I have had the same issues with my Note3 and Note 5. Mostly when I'm watching fullscreen video. I have to set it to maximum brightness to see outside during the day in Las Vegas because the sun is bright. But if my phone light sensor (right next to the ear speaker) is not in direct sunlight, then it doesn't keep the brightness for video. Your screen shot isn't visible though I went the rounds thinking it was a Hulu bug for a long time before I realized it happens in ask video players and isn't constant.
How do I prevent the camera app from making the screen full brightness? I can't find a setting for it anywhere. Thanks..
Turn off auto brightness.

Eh. Not a great solution since that affects the entire phone experience. I don't want to manually adjust my phone brightness every time I go from indoors to out.
Any apps that can auto disable auto brightness when certain apps open? Maybe Tasker?
I made a simple auto brightness toggle in Tasker when camera app opens and added an exit task. Works OK when indoors, but sometimes you want auto brightness such as if you're outside. Not sure the best way around this.

Maybe edit your task to add a wifi variable? Like if you're not connected to wifi enable the rule, ie you're outside (usually) when not on wifi. And when you are on wifi inside don't trigger the rule, leaving you to adjust manually if desired.

Nice idea! I'll try that. I'll also try a brightness variable -- like if the brightness is above a certain value already, don't disable auto brightness.

Cool let us know if it works. Are you doing this with root or not? The reason I ask is I bought tasker last year but haven't rooted my S7, not sure if you can control certain things without root.

No root (for now). Enjoying Samsung Pay too much You can control a lot of stuff with Tasker without root -- almost anything you can already control in the settings app.

So far so good. Added a condition:
If brightness is < 180 toggle auto brightness
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.

Yes that is, you set the brightness the level you want, manually.

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.

I don't know! users are prone to do such a thing when they mess up with their phone.
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.

I don't understand what you're saying. I didn't mess up any settings because there are none for me to mess up. But thanks for the help?

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.
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¨
