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.

Always On Display too dim in dark rooms (Due to auto dimming)?

Now that I've had my phone for a couple of days I've noticed that the Always On Display automatically dims when you enter a dark room, and becomes much brighter when exposed to light. The problems is that it's too dark to be particularly useful when it's dimmed. I've searched, but can't find a way to adjust the level of brightness for the AOD.
Anyone else noticing this problem? Anyone aware of a method or an app which can remedy it?
Thanks!
Mines is the other way around 95% of the time the screen is very bright to me.
I wish there was a setting for it but i cant find one.

How is the DC dimming? Does it make the screen look noticely worse?

I have read articles that said using DC brightness on OLED/AMOLED screens can effect colors, particularly at low brightness. How are people finding it? I dont really care if it makes colours "less accurate" as long as they dont look weird
Looks fine to me. Barely can tell the difference.
Working well as described, couldn't tell the difference.

What makes you think the 3 / 3T screen is capable of DC dimming? Can every AMOLED screen support it?
First off, I don't notice any flickering when the screen brightness is low so maybe DC dimming isn't for me. I'm sure someone with a fancy color monitor device will probably post a technical breakdown of how it affects the screen, but I don't see any difference except in one scenario.
In bed I tend to set the brightness settings on the lowest and then turn on nightmode to dim the screen even further. If you have small white text with a black background such as the settings menu or Youtube in dark mode, some of the text fades into the blackness and is unreadable. Images with dark colors or areas will look weird because you won't be able to distinguish them apart.
I tried to take pictures to show a comparison, but the screen is so dim that it doesn't work.

Question Brightness adujstments in sunlight

The phone adjusts the brightness when im outside and rotate the phone enough to make it detect sunlight. Turning Sunlight mode off and on doesnt do a thing. Anyone have this Problem as well? I want the brightness to just stay constant, this is making it seem like it flickers when i'm not holding my phone perfectly still

rotate the AOD? + what is sunlight-booster?

heya good day!
i am working on reusing this second hand xperia 5 ii as a car dash computer.
getting pretty close. I've managed to rotate apple music and edit it's scaling to be fit for landscape use.
i also need to try and get the always on display rotated.
but i cant seem to find the package or whatever is responsible for the AOD
in setting's it's called ambient display. but even with those search tag's i couldn't find the process..
does anyone know what the package name is for sony's AOD? or perhaps know how to modify the AOD to be usable in landscape?
while searching i did find something interesting. a package called "Sunlight-booster"
i did notice whenever i have my brightness maxed. and i then move the phone into a bright light. the display boosts the brightness.
is there a way to get that extra bit of brightness on the normal brightness slider? or to manually activate the extreme brightness?
since this will be mounted in a car's dash. the sensor might never actually face direct sunlight. while the screen could still be hard to see. so I'd like to make it a tad more sensitive.
Thank you in advance!
