Hi, got a weird issue. I tried many GB roms and used my stock rom to test it. But it seem like the stock camera do not detect auto-brightness. It only detect the "LAST BRIGHTNESS SETTING" so if you set your brightness level to the lowest it will appear that way on your camera when you use it, but once you switch it back to auto-brightness it still stays the lowest level.
anyone got any solution for this?

Hello,
I have tried to tune the auto brightness levels with the CyanogenMod Settings, but it seems that there is a threshold that makes values below 20 to not be any darker than 20.
My problem is that I use my phone for playing music when I'm driving, however I have to turn the screen off since it is way to bright when it is sitting in the windscreen at night.
Can anyone confirm if this is the case and if there is something that can be done to lower the brightness below 20?
I have previously read this thread about lowering the auto brightness levels on other ROMs. However this feature is already in CM7, but my experience is that it can't be lowered below 20...
Thanks!
I've seen that the Xperia S has light ambient sensor, but i cant find the configuration to enable auto screen brightness.
Any idea how can i enable it?
I don't think there is a setting for it there wasn't on my arc either
hmm i have read that the auto brightness function is enabled by default, but i dont notice any brightness changes when i enter to a dark room or go out in the day, auto bright function doesnt seem to work.
Anyone can confirm this?
On my SGS2 with CM9 it is under Settings --> Display --> Brightness.
I dont know where it is under Sony ROMs, but somewhere around Display or Energy Saving maybe it has to be, I couldnt imagine that Sony would take out this...
If you want to test it you could light with a lamp direct in the sensor or cover it, then it has to change the Brightness.
you set the lowest screen brightness you want, then the phone does the rest

Exactly. It works just like the iPhone this way.

Well, if you manually set the brightness to the lowest setting you are gonna get a dark screen. Obvious thing is obvious.
I've recently been to Sony Mobile's headquarters in Redwood, and I got all the details about this explained to me.
The way it works, is that you can manually set a "preferred level" of brightness, and the phone will automatically vary this setting but not stray too far from it. The default value I believe is 50%.. I don't have exact numbers for how much it will differ, but the auto backlighting is there.
I also asked if Sony will add a manual override to this setting in a future FW upgrade, and they said that they might
SEARCH before you post!!! Already discussed (and how to enable it)
It's enabled via the screen brightess toggle. One option is Auto.

Hi, I flashed a few different kernels recently to test them out. Now my screen brightness is really dim even at 100%. How can I make my brightness go back up? I could even settle for something that just makes the 100% brightness value higher.
Does anyone know if any root config files affect brightness? If so, which ones?
Hi!
I have the S6 edge since yesterday and I noticed that auto brightness does not work.
Testing the senosr via a sensor read out tool, it actually detects brightnes levels well (as far as I can tell).
However, if I turn on my phone, it is first super dim at first. When I expose it to a flash light, the screen turns brighter and eventually maxes out. But it does not turn back to normal brightness levels once I remove the light source. Sure I can adjust auto brightness with the slider. But it is then much brighter (with same light conditions in the room) as when I truned on the phone...
Only if I turn off auto brightness, the screen reverts to the setting I have chosen...
If I turn auto brightness on again, it is as bright as with flash light exposure...
What is going on here?
Does anyone have an idea how to fix this?

I have the same problem. Already talked with Samsung and ATT. They want me to change the phone.
Ps. It seems the problem only persists in S6 edge not in S6. But I also found that other android that run lolipop 5.01+ have the same issue too. And right now, I use the app name velis auto brightness to fix this.
I will try to change the phone by this week and update you.
Hope this help.
I have started using an app called Lux. And it has no problem adjusting the brightness. The sensor clearly works fine as it can always displays the brightness detected by the sensor. So it has to be a software problem.
I could imagine that a hard reset could fix the issue. But right now, I do not want to go to the hassle to restore everything
Let me know how the new phone works. :highfive:

The hard reset did not work, I already did it.
I will update you again once I change or test the other phones.
I went to the store, and both S6 and S6 edge in the store all have the same problem, so the exchange it may not solve the problem.
I think this problem may be a software problem or an intention from Samsung/Google.
I will try to use it in couple days. If I cannot bear this, I might return the product.
Hope they will have OTA update soon.
Got this too.
It's really anoying.
I really hope there will come an app like on older Sammy's that we can set and adjust our own brightness levels.
But I'm not expecting a fix from Samsung tho. They have proven again and again they are unable to fix their crappy software. Especialy if it's a minor bug like this.
So anyone wanna buy a rooted hardly used S6 Edge plus?
I'm using a stock BLU R1 HD running Android 6.0 and within the last month, give or take, my phones brightness has randomly been spiking or plummeting before evening out into something legible. I also use Twilight(With pro unlock) and I have for years. I have disabled Backlight Control in the app. I have tried to go into my settings and disable Adaptive Brightness, but it will not stay disabled and turns itself back on as soon as I leave Settings. I've recently installed Lux but the problem persists. I've been googling it and all the responses I find are from 2015, give or take, and most apps regarding brightness have also not updated since around that time.
The frustrating part is that most of the time when it changes I'm not even moving and the light around me is not changing. The problem actually occurs more in normal, indoor lighting than it does in darkness or bright sunlight, and I've been careful not to cover the front camera, where I think the light sensor is, just in case I was the problem.
Does anyone know what I can do? How I can either fix Adaptive Brightness to stop randomly changing my brightness for sometimes 10 to 15 seconds before going back to where it should be, or how to disable Adaptive Brightness so it will stop turning itself back on?
I'd prefer not to root my phone, so please don't suggest it unless there really is no other option. I've ruined several phones that way in various ways and have concluded that rooting is just not for me.
