Auto brightness issue , please help!

I got my new SGS2 today
And i feel like the auto brightness is way to sensetive ,
Almost every time i change angle its change its brightness
Any suggestions?
I don't use auto brightness, just set it down low manually to save your battery.
I'm kinda having the opposite problem. No matter what the light is if I'm in auto-brightness mode it always sets the display to minimum. It's really annoying. Is there a way to calibrate that?
anyone?...

i Don't know about the auto brightness but if you uncheck the auto brightness and place your finger on the very top where the clock is and if you slide your finger towards the opposite direction it will change the brightness of the screen .....from left to right is more brightness and right to left is less....so i think you haven't checked the auto brightness thing that's why you are getting that problem.....

Neo V ~Flickering Screen

As the title says my screen brightness flickers :O
Is it a big problem ??!?! :O
Usually happens when on low brightness.. the brightness flickers for a few seconds !
Im scared
Hardware issue ??
Thanks for all your replies in advance
Yeah, I got the same problem with mine xperia neo v...
I think ambient light sensor is calibrating or something... I got that flickering around 1 time in day.
Same problem here...on low brightness...
So i'm not the only one facing the issue
Happens only once in a day so it could be what armando101 said
Thanks
it is caused by fluorescent light sources. You can see them flicker too when you capture it with a camera:
Action at 0:40
Phew
Thought something was wrong with my phones LCD
Thanks mate
If you're annoyed by this, try installing SuperDim from the Market. It can lock brightness levels. You need root, through.
Also, don't set the brightness too low with SuperDim or the screen won't turn on when you unlock the phone.
I can confirm that this happens when the light sensor adjusts the screen brightness. If you go to Settings > Screen > Screen brightness, and here set it to max, you will disable the auto brightness feature and the flickering should stop. It will have negative effect on your battery performance though.

Is it caused by the effect I showed in post #5?

im not really sure for my answer, but try it, just remove the auto brightness, because sometimes the sensor are to much sensitive when it become dimmed in the area. just try it nothing will lose if you will try, but you will gain more....
Oh cool
Thanks

how will you disable the auto brightness without having to root the phone?
You can't disable auto brightness without root.
Anyways the app is here: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.hatcyl.android.Disable_Auto_Brightness&hl=en
I'm using it mainly for games. Really annoying when the screen dims just because your hand covers the light sensor.

Any way to Increase screen brightness ?

Hi.
I just come back from walking around enjoying weather and sun and my s3 screen is too dark on the sun. Do you know any way to increase screen brightness ?
PLS
Dont say stupid " set brightness to 100% ".

You obviously cannot increase the brightness past 100%. if it's set to auto brightness, it is possible (however unlikely) that it's not setting to 100%. I doubt this is the case. But test turning off auto brightness anyway.
Other things you can think about... Black or dark backgrounds make the screen more reflective of light, making it harder to see. Try using Lighter or white themes for maximum visibility.
Again with reflections, you can look out for screen protectors that polarise the light or anti-glare filters etc. This may help. I have never looked for anything like this so I cannot recommend any one in particular.
Short of these few tips, I dont think there is much else that can be done though.,
What about http://goo.gl/IaDVU ? download is empty.
is there any similar ?

These change how auto brightness works. It doesn't actually make the screen brighter. What it can do is increase the sensitivity of the auto brightness, so if you think the screen brightness it chooses (lets pretend 75%) is not bright enough for how light it is outside (2000 lux for example) you can modify the values so 2000 lux = 100%.
So this is only useful if you use auto brightness and auto brigthness has not selected 100% brightness

ONE X+ brightness calibration problem

Hi everybody , I recently replaced lcd and digitizer for my ONE X+ and there is weird problem with brightness. When I change the brightness it looks like has no calibration with new display, because brightness changes in a very little area for example if this is my brightness settings:
_________________________________ so the red area is where my brightness changes from lowest to highest, and then its just stay high.
How can I resolve this problem?

Is the Power Saving mode enabled? That limits screen brightness by default.

Thank you for response, but it stays in "Highest" mode most of the time and "power saver" usually sets in "Lower".
And no it is not the power saver mode enabled.

Minimum brightness

You don't want to give your significant other yet another reason to yell at you while you're reading XDA in bed. Rate this thread to express what you think of the Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge's display minimum dimness. A higher rating indicates that the display can get extremely dim, ideal for reading in very dark environments.
Then, drop a comment if you have anything to add!
I don't have on auto brightness or any power saving features on yet my display brightness seems to have a mind of its own. I can be in a dimly lit room and have to put my brightness slider past the halfway mark just to get decent brightness and the always on display will be so dim it's barely visible. Other times I could be in a well lit store or outside and the display will be very bright even with the slider nearly all the way down. It also seems the always on display may get brighter the longer it's on but it starts out very dim even if my brightness is cranked up. I really don't know what to make of it. Sometimes the display brightness seems way worst then my nexus 6p (not saying 6p has bad brightness just using as a reference cause most reviewers claim the brightness on note5/s7 is a bit brighter.) Other times the quality seems better then my friend's note 5.
Adaptive brightness? Sure sounds like it.
I am disappointed it does not go low enough like all android phones tablets etc. I read books in the Kindle app in bed and my iPhone or I pad can go very low brightness but all the android gadgets I have cannot they are always too bright and annoy her. I thought this could be the one but I guess not

Install LUX Auto brightness app and it should solve your problem, in fact you can set it so dim that you can hardly read it.
I find the always on display to bright. Is there a way to dim it a bit?

I totally agree with that, when you cover the sensor the brightness is way better.
It should be part of the environment, now it's more like "HEY LOOK AT THE TIME" kinda distracting

Yeah haha. The funny thing is that the "night clock" is perfectly dimmed. Wished that there was a setting for the AOD (always on display) to have manual brightness controll. And of course app notifications. Which the edge display can show, but the AOD can not. Strange decision of our Sammy friends.

Exactly, that would be perfect, I tried using AOD at work today and it's so distracting that it's actually worthless now. I also tried the night clock at work and it looks great, it doesn't bother me at all and it's very handy. Hope samsung will update AOD because it can be very useful.
But in my opinion the overall (auto) brightness is too bright, when I dim my screen it automatically brighten the display up to what it thinks it is the right brightness compared to the environment . With my previous phone (LG G2) it changed the auto brightness to the user preference.
You can fix this issue, set brightness 100% and reboot.
Hi guys, I noticed right now that if I switch from an high luminosity environment to a very dark one, automatic brightness remains the same and I have to uncheck and check again the "auto" option on notification bar. Other times, in same conditions, it adapt the brightness after some times instead of immediately. Dose have my phone problems?

This is to prevent the display continue changing brightness, it does change but it has a delay so your screen isn't flickering bright, dark, bright, dark.

This has been fixed with the update that came out this week #yay! It's now changing automatically, not as distracting anymore :highfive:
I noted that when I turn on the screen I a low light environment, it has a fade before the screen completely turn on, like a fade effect. I did some tries and this happen only in low light condition. Is this normal?

Yes, but if I put the phone orizonthal (for instance I put I on the table) the brightness change immediately. Why is that?

Do you have MM or Nougat? I noticed the same in MM but it works significantly better in Nougat.
The problems some of you have ... seriously? ?
