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
I have my display set to automatically adjust brightness and pretty often the display goes haywire. The lighting I'm in won't change, but the display will suddenly become much brighter or dimmer than it was a moment before.
Is anyone else having this issue, or do I have a dud?
some here. screen brightnes going crazy before and after factory reset
I always use lux (paid) and now I have it on luma (camera source for reading the light). Works perfect!
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.
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
When auto brightness is enabled and I'm viewing the phone in direct sunlight, the maximum brightness seems to change really quickly. It brightens and dims quickly, almost qausing a feeling of screenflicker.
With auto brightness off, the problem is non existent.
It only happens when the phone hits 100% brightness. Anyone noticed this. And is there a solution other than turning auto brightness off?
Yes I noticed this today just got mine today and sat out in sun with auto brightness on it was flashing like mad ,

For me autobrightness is useless. Simply too dark in all conditions. Also max brightness is not enough for when you have direct sun on the screen.

I have noticed the same, it's usually too dark for my taste.. would be nice if you could config how dim it goes automatically.
O saw the flickering in sunlight as well. Probably a bug
I finally gave up and installed the Lux app. Hopefully they will solve the issue in the next updates.

You're all insane. This phone has the best auto brightness I've ever used. It's very responsive without changing so fast that it becomes an issue in flickering light conditions like walking past trees where sunlight filters through or something.
I have the same problem, yes.
OLED displays have two "maximum" brightnesses; the normal maximum, which is intended for full-time use, and High Brightness/Sunlight Mode, which maxes the pixel brightnesses out for temporary outdoors full-sunlight usage.
The OP6 might have the threshold for what it considers "full sunlight" set too high, which would cause a lot of flickering in the event that the phone isn't held perfectly still in sunlight because of the light sensor output dancing back and forth across the threshold.
There's probably no changing it until someone rolls out a custom kernel in which it can be disabled or tweaked, in the meantime you can find auto-brightness apps on the Play Store that let you set custom curves (note that this'll probably require root). Hopefully OnePlus will fix it in the stock kernel themselves, terrible auto-brightness can make or break a phone in my opinion : \

I would not hold your breath. It was an issue on the 5t and not sorted during the time I had it.
Can't say I've noticed the issue on the 6 though with adaptive brightness mode enabled
Couldn't agree more autobrightness seems too dark on my op6. Under direct sunlight, I have to disable auto and full the bar myself..
Auto-Brightness is too dark for me too... Hope OnePlus will be updated this, or add the possibility to adjust the Auto-Brightness.
The minimum auto-brightness can be adjusted from the slider, it will still be auto increasing when needed but it won't go below your threshold.
I'm testing this for a few days and it's working perfect, the minimum was also to low for me initially.
I've tested the auto-brightness with a flashlight:

EVERYONE WITH BRIGHTNESS ISSUE,
There are No problems with screen, it's flawless.. Although people dealing with auto brightness issue,should disable the night mode.. Cause when night mode is active, auto brightness tends to use more dark screen as dark as possible..
Regards.

I never said I have problems with the screen. Auto brightness is causing issues at Max brightness.
Night mode is off. Thanks for your comment though.

Actually I like yellow tinted screen(warm colors) , for that I enabled night mode. Since then I was facing problems like too dark in direct sun on auto brightness. Too dark even in room. Today I accidentally turned off night mode while showing handset to my friends.. And voila brightness got up nd up nd up... I tried in direct sunlight, now I don't have any problem viewing my handset even after wearing shades..
If there is still problem in ur auto brightness then bro I strongly suggest u to compare ur handset with other op6 cause it could be a manufacturing defects... I heard a developer got flickering issues, he returned handset..
Regards.

Nope. Is bad
I have auto tightness issue also. Have not noticed flashing, but screen dims often. Even when using phone, and in a steady lighted area such as indoors.
