hello all this is my very first post and question. I have a Samsung Galaxy A20 which is tied to MetroPCS in the United States AKA T-Mobile prepaid. Anyways this phone has the automatic brightness turned off. I still notice however that the screen will get slightly dim or bright when I'm sitting in the living room and this does not have anything to do with reflection. The brightness slider does not move either. again, I make sure the automatic brightness is turned off in settings and always have phone set to max bright.
Okay upon further research I have figured out a fix. Apparently Android pie has an adaptive brightness artificial intelligence. You have to go into device health services and reset adaptive brightness when it starts doing that. Hope this helps someone.
Edit again nevermind this morning the display is still dimming about 10 or 20 percent it looks like.

Hi Folks,
This issue happened a to a few times now within a short time frame. The problem is like this:
I set the brightness slider somewhere about 30-40% and have the auto mode on. This way the min brightness would not fall below the slider point (I assume and this is the way I had with all my andorid phones) and works quit well.
The issue I encountered is that the brightness slider would go down to minimum (auto is still there) on it's own and stay there. I didn't have any power saving options turned on as the phone is still burning in.
The only time I noticed this is in the evenings and night. Still wondering what's causing it.
Game service is disabled on my phone.

Auto brightness works differently in the S7 compared to other Android phones. Auto brightness actually moves the slider for you. If you keep adjusting the slider to where you want it in different environments it should "learn" your preferences and automatically adjust the slider to what you would put it at for each environment.
Thanks for clarifying that. Thought mine was buggy.
Yea that threw me off at first also
I got my Moto G3 yesterday and I noticed the screen was very bright, I checked the brightness level and it was on the middle of the slider, with Adaptive Display on. I tried adjusting the slider but nthing happens, I tried turning Adaptive Display off, still nothing happens. Doesn't matter if I'm in a room with no light or if I'm outside on the sun, the screen is always on what I assume is 100% brightness.
I have also tried a factory reset, updated to Android 6, downloaded a 3rd party app to adjust brightness, getting it on safe mode... nothing works
It is really annoying having the display at full brightness always, battery drains, phone screen gets really hot, etc
Someone have a possible solution? I don't want to stay more days without a phone by taking it to warranty.
Even I noticed that the screen's brightness is same from 1% to 30% (approx).. It doesn't change at all.
What variant do you guys have?
Xt1550 (Indian 16GB)
Has anyone else had issues with their Adaptive Brightness not working. Toggling the setting has no effect on my display. For such an expensive phone I expect things like this to work.
Yes, it doesn't work that great for me either. I mean I can see it adjusts the brightness "somewhat". But it appears it is not nearly as dramatic as on my Galaxy S7 which would pretty much perfectly adjust the brightness.
I agree that a phone this expensive should do it correctly out of the box. Google please listen.
This is the intended function as I understood it, so I googled it and here confirms. This is not intended to operate the same as auto brightness many other phones use.
In Android L, Google's introduced a new feature called Adaptive Brightness that combines manual and auto brightness. You can manually adjust the brightness level to a state you like. Once it's set, your screen will adjust based on ambient light so it stays at the same brightness relative to the light around you. This way you can set the screen to your preferences without sticking to an absolute level.

Been this way a long time. Would this be your first Nexus/Pixel phone?

The problem I have is that every time the phone is rebooted, adaptive brightness is set back to Off, even though it was On when the phone was restarted. Running NDE63V and not rooted.
Hey!
I got a new S7 and updated it to Andoird 7.
Since it get's dark where I live I noticed that the brightness adjustment after unlocking is quite slow when being in a darker environment.
The brighter my environment is - the faster the brightness adjustment gets - even to the point where the brightness is fully adjusted during the unlocking process.
Since I haven't had this with every mobile phone I ever owned I quite curious if all of you face the same "issue".
Screen brightness is set to auto. Same happens when auto is diabled. It's like Samsung doesn't want to go to the desired brightness in the darkness to let our eyes adjust better to the screen's brightness. (Just a suggestion from me).
I made a short video you can find here:

Thanks in advance for your answers!
hi,
Now after the pie update we got this super new feature...
But in my case most of the time my display brightness is to dark. I always have to adjust it manually.
Is there any way to reset adaptive brightness? There are some tutorials in the internet but on my HTC I don't have this reset feature.
Best regards

Uhm... That is adaptive brightness right there. You SHOULD adjust the brightness when you're in a specific place and your phone will eventually "learn" it a few times you're in that area.
Note that adaptive brightness is a combination of sensor, location and even network (whether you're connected to some WiFi).
Again, when it's dark, INCREASE your brightness. Do that a couple of times when you go back to the same place. THAT is how you calibrate adaptive brightness.
And still it don't work like I want it. In my home network it dimes always to dark. I have adjusted it hundred times. But still no changes...
