I noticed this when using my camera last night. I had been web browsing in a dimly lit room and my screen was on auto brightness so it was dim too. When I opened the camera app the UI was super bright, ridiculously so. Is this normal for the UI to be on max brightness and to ignore the auto brightness feature?
Same problem here, what can I do???

I just installed Android 2.1 and rooted it. In the brightness setting there is no longer a selection to choose the Auto-brightness setting, just a slider for low and high brightness.
Also I noticed the Power Widget that has the brightness control switch lets you switch between low, auto, and high, but while in Auto (the dimmer setting while the button is ON), the sensitivity is very poor and will only brighten the display by about 10% while moving from a very dark environment to a very bright environment.
Yup, i agree. This sucks. Although i had forgoten how nice everything looks with the brightness turned up. All the same id like to have it back.

cant expect everything in 2.1 to be perfect. Yes it has taken them a while but i wouldnt expect it to be without any flaws!
At least we got it finally. WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOT

I thought this today too but the Auto Brighten IS there and still working, just a bit differently.
Initially you choose the 3 levels of brightness on the quick select from the 5 widget icons. This is the brightest it will go, but if you go from a dark or light room it DOES indeed still adjust.
I noticed this after a bit today just standing in the kitchen watching the movers do their thing at my old place. The sun was ducking in and out of the clouds and the auto function was working fine. I tried it in all 3 modes, the only one it doesn't do anything in is the least bright mode...the one I noticed it most is the middle bright mode.
So YES, it is indeed working, just differently.
The auto Brightness sucked in 1.6 anyway. It was never that good for me. I use a brightness widget to adjust it.
I much prefer the way it works now. Seems to be a lot more user friendly tbh
have you tried the setting in spare parts (from the market)?
I've not tried it myself, but I know the auto setting is there.
Auto birghtness
Hmm. I have the 2.1 update and I have set the brightness to the low setting in the power widget. The brightness still adjusts automatically, and I don't want it to. I want it to stay at a low level all the time to save my battery. How?!
I just realized something weird. I used my phone in a completely dark room and I was blinded by the bright screen on auto-brightness. I couldn't imagine that it was on the lowest setting in a dark room and switched auto-brightness off; and indeed with manual brightness I could bring the slider much more down to darker levels. Is that normal that auto-brightness doesn't go down to the lowest brightness levels?
I also don't like the auto brightness issue, it was too bright in a dark room.
I end up buying Lux from the play store and it address my problem.

I am no fan of auto brightness inside of buidings either.
Outside it is handy, but indoors I switch to a widgetsoid app toggle on my homescreen with 5%/25%/100%/auto steps
25% is more than enough indoors, with 5% in dark rooms.
But with the advance of custom ROMs the auto brightness settings will be adjusted to more suitable values, I believe.
Just got the V10 and the second screen dims after 2 or 3 seconds after turning off the main screen. Is there a way to adjust the timing when the second screen dims? The dimmed second screen is almost unreadable because it is so dim.
Ditto, the idea that this is a replacement for a notification LED is really damaged by the dimming. (It's not just me that bought the phone based on that idea, right?) What I've found so far:
With the screen brightness set to 0, the second screen dims fully a few seconds after sleeping. Icons become about as noticeable as dust reflections.
With the screen brightness set to 100, the second screen follows the ambient light sensor after sleeping. Under bright light it turns itself up to the point where it's useable.
I've been playing with all the LEDs that Light Flow sees, but at least without root, nothing has any effect. I might look through the /sys files later. We probably need to get root first to figure this out.
On auto brightness it seems to be that the device adjusts the dimmed display for the ambient lighting? It's not the easiest thing in the world to see, but it's certainly not hard for me to see what notifications I have. I really prefer this over a colored LED.
Light Flow settings
For what it's worth, here's my current setup, now that the T-Mobile H901 is rooted. This does no one without root any good, and I don't know how it would translate to similar LED managers. I've been using Light Flow since the Sapphire (MyTouch 3G).
Light Flow device settings: check direct mode, root mode, and run every command as root. The Nexus 5 force reset option is checked by default and I don't know if that's relevant (no calls yet). Everything else in the menu is unchecked.
Let Light Flow control lcd-backlight-ex.
In a notification, set that "LED" to Solid and to 255 brightness. Check Enable Mixer and App controlled flash. With that last setting, the app will reset the brightness every few seconds even if the system dimmed it due to an ambient light change.
Now I need to edit some notification icons to be big and colorful. I wonder how this will impact battery life? Now the app is going to be awake all the time.
I've noticed that today on auto brightness the second screen will increase in light but not much. It also is not as smoth of a transition as on main display. It kinda jumps up real quick..
Yes for me I've noticed on Auto brightness the second screen will dim in a dark room and if you turn off your phone while in that room then come out... The second screen is still dim.... It's like th second screen doesn't respond to the light sensors at all unless the main screen is on.

It would have been nice if lg included the capability to change the second screen settings such a brightness or text color.

Another one of many things that it would be cool to see baked into a custom stock rom. Good stuff. I wonder if Cloudyfa might come over and cook on this awhile. I have always loved his stock Roms....

Color would be cool. A classic CRT bright/lime green, for instance, would probably show up much better than the white.
We need to get on their forums with these ideas. Maybe some will get squeezed into an update
An app which turns off auto dim in case screen is off would be pretty much help. Maybe I'll develop one.
It works, it's just that it over compensates in the dark.
I know there is probably not much that can be done about it, just thought I'd ask.
I think the Auto brightness is adjustable.
I agree it gets too dim, but works fine in normal lighting conditions.
The brightness is adjustable, manually. I have not found any means of adjusting the bounds of the auto brightness mode. It is the low intensity limit that needs adjustment.
I would like to be able to have a feature like adaptive brightness like what's on pure Android without a third party app...

While on auto brightness tap the sun burst directly opposite the checked auto brightness. Voila!

But then the whole phone goes dim. We want the brightness of the 2nd screen to stay bright at all times so we can see it.

Awesome! Didnt know about that feature!
I find the auto brightness is a little too dim. I would prefer if it was 10-15 points brighter than what the algorithm chooses. Now I leave auto brightness off in most cases of active use

Does anybody have a flickering display?
I like to dim the brightness in the evening almost to the minimum. Then it is quite easy to see some "pumping" (flicker) of the brightness, when I use the phone. It seems to be even more visible, when I turn on the "night owl" app, in order to filter the blue light out of the screen.
