Hi guys!
I have an issue with the auto-brightness setting, running on MiniCM 2.1.8
It simply does not work
Even if it is turned on, the backlight is extremely dim. Also, the phone does not react to any changes of the light setting.
The light sensor seems to be working, tested with a performance/benchmark tool from the Market.
And yes, I've tried the workaround described in the change log.
Indeed I tried all possible combinations.
Is this a known problem?
Can anyone propose a solution/workaround? Please help
1. enable autobrightness from Settings -> Display
2. enable Allow Light Decrease from Settings -> Cyanogenmod -> Display -> Automatic backlight
3. enjoy the great kernel and rom
Thank you for the hint!
However it does not help - this is the changelog workaround I tried first
I have been toggling all display settings (both generic and CM) but autobrightness never works.
Any other suggestions?
try to check Use customs Cyanogen settings - display - automatic backlight
if this does not help, just do a full wipe and check only automatic brightness from display and enable Allow Light Decrease from Settings -> Cyanogenmod -> Display -> Automatic backlight.
it should work. go near a light bulb and put your finger on the sensor (small circle in the upper right corner of the phone) and take it off and you should notice the difference

Thank you!
After the full wipe it worked!
Before that I was also experiencing various issues (LED notification lights not working, clicking on a given setting would actually open completely different menu, restarts during phone calls) - let us hope that this will be all solved after the full wipe.
Quite interesting, because this was a fresh installation, say I full-wiped before I installed the ROM the first time, but who knows

Peoples....has anyone found a way to "tweak" the auto adjust backlight setting?? Would be nice to be able to set the light sensor to a pre-determined value so that it is always that value greater than the ambiant light...
Why??...well, I would like to continue using the same auto setting (saves battery, etc) but have it just a little bit brighter than what it is doing automatically at the moment.
I'm sure there is a way....would be great to have this in Shaps AC or Diamond Tweak....hmmm, perhaps post there to....
Thanks all
Not sure if this helps, but if you untick the box for auto brightness then you can slide the brightness control up and down to set the base setting then re tick the auto box. Let me know if this is what you are wanting. If not just ignore me

Nice one, but unfortunetely does not have the desired effect (just checked)....
HOWEVER, this would be a great why to build it into the system i.e. manually set the level thats works best for you in the abient lighting of the moment....then set auto adjust to keep that differential...hmmm...
I would love to find a way to calibrate that. The backlight in darkness is too high for my eyes. When I set it manually I can decrease the brightness to a comfortable degree, but as soon as I turn automatic mode back on, it gets higher.
Agree

Hello,
I've just installed Temasek KANG CM on my O2X along with the Vadonka powersave kernel and i noticed the the automatic display brightness setting is kinda dim all the time. I read that CM should alow you to adjust the automatic setting in CM settings -> Display, but i see no such options there.
Is this intended? And if so is there any workaround to this?
I'm using the same config as you, but i'd say auto brightness is good enough.
To manually change you have 2 options, either use Power Control Widget with Auto Brightness button (bad part - it only has 3 steps) or from settings : Settings -> Display -> Brightness (1st options in list) -> uncheck Auto Bright and use the slider.
when i checked my phone with phone tester it light sensor says "waiting for data".using the temasek kang with ironkrnl.does anybody else have the same situation??is it the problem with the rom or my hardware??i haven't checked it with stock rom....
Hi,
I am using ParanoidAndroid ICS rom, Everything is superb apart from the black clipping screen. Of course I only notice the black clipping in a dark room, whereas in daylight the screen seems perfect.
In the PA rom under settings > Advanced > Screen > there is screen gamma but i can not edit it or even choose it. I'm assuming its been disabled, is there a way to enable this so I can edit the gamma settings or is there an alternative way to edit gamma settings. if there is, can anyone please share it.
Thanks in advance.

Its not working on PA but there is an option of Outdoor Mode which makes it little bit higher.
After Oreo update, it seems there's annoying bug/feature that automatically dims my screen when using camera, Facebook, chrome, pubg mobile etc.
I tried one temporary solution for that bug which actually works on my Huawei P10.
Let me know it this solution will work on your devices.
1. Turn-off Power Saving Mode
2. Go to Go to System>Developer Options>Increase Readability Under Sunlight> Toggle Off
3. Then restart and check your apps if it still auto dimming
And if you want permanently freeze or delete power genius...that solved my problem.
But I think because I delete it now in my power usage, software ia not showing...just hardware.
I dont know if its because I delete that or was a bug that I didn't notice))
where is developer options?

Doesn't work on my Huawei Nova 3i
It seems that Velis Auto Brightness app from Google Play Store does the trick (Honor 10 Stock Pie).
Settings:
Automatic brightness: ON
track light in graph: ON
SETTINGS: (advanced):
Automatic brightness: ON
Disable system handler: ON
Start when screen turns ON: ON
Interactive notification: ON
All other settings off/default.
When you turn off the screen and turn it on, go for the first time in notification area and set your desired value in Velis.
Turn off automatic handling of this app in battery section (app start).
If you disabled animations in developer options, enable them again (0,5x for exanple) and see the magic.
NO more dimming at all.
Hi - I see this thread was originally written 2yrs ago, but I currently have this 'screen dimming in app' problem with my P10 Plus. It started in the last couple of months and may be related to a software update - I'm currently on EMUI 9.1.0.
The Developer option on this thread unfortunately didn't resolve the problem for me (perhaps that's not longer relevant now).
Can anyone offer any other advice?l to resolve this?
Thanks.
Hello, I have disabled adaptive brightness and when I open some apps, the screen starts automatically dimm a bit. When i exit the app, the brightness returns to normal. For example it does in Chrome, messenger, stock message app, stock dialer, youtube and many more. It does not do in Gallery, weather, camera. It's absolutely useless when im going to type in messenger and screen dimms so i can see it worse. Also i am watching youtube and screen dimms. I cannot understand what is this supposed to mean such nonsense feature.
I want to ask you if somebody of you has faced with this and if he figured it out somehow.
Ive already written to honor support , they answered nothing to the piont.
I was figuring out that when i turn adaptive brightness on, this doesnt do, the screen doesnt dimm when i open any app, but adaptive brightnes randomly fades my brightness setting after switching off the screen.
All i would like is what attributes i have to set to some app that i dont want to dimm. I cannot find this out.
Any suggestions thankfull.
"Online videos and games consume a significant amount of power and may cause your phone to heat up. As a result, your phone automatically decreases the screen brightness to prevent your phone from overheating. The brightness will return to normal when your phone cools down.
Some apps automatically adjust the screen brightness for better readability. For example, when you open Contacts or Messaging, the screen brightness is adjusted automatically even when automatic brightness is disabled."
" This function cannot be disabled"
"The screen changes color in direct sunlight.
When the ambient brightness reaches a certain level (such as direct sunlight), the screen brightness and contrast are automatically increased for better readability. This feature cannot be disabled."
Yes and this is bad. Something like answer from honor support. But also messenger goes darker and it has nothing to do with overheating. When i switch on the adaptive brightness this dimming doesnt do with any app. Also with adaptive brightness off some apps do not dim as if they'd have an exception of this. It is very bad that it cant be disabled this makes this phone completely useless for everyday use because readability goes worse when it goes darker.
Same here
Yup, I have the same. I just keep the Automatic adjustment "on" so it stopes dimming. Which is anti-intuitive. You would expect this dimming beeing caused by that Automatic setting not the opposite. Let's hope they will sort it soon.
Unfortunately its the special feature implemented in firmware called "eye care" as they replied me from honor support. It needs to tell them to switch it off at [email protected]

Check in the developer settings for the current value of "Increase readability under sunlight".

Hello, that setting in notification area really worked for me, thanks. But the slider Is in steps 66% , 73%, 80% I cannot adjust it per one % but nevermind, at last this helped me.
edit: after one day testing I noticed that it doesnt work. It still dimms the apps.

Hi, it's a pitty that it does not work.. Maybe Velis app is killed by app manager? As i wrote, try to disable any battery management for Velis app. Do you see after that 1 day Velis slider in notification area? If not, it is likely killed by system app manager.
And yes, it is true that the screen can be adjusted only bys steps.
In my case more than a week for honor 10 (EMUI 9) with Velis and still no any screen dimming issues in any app.

Velis was running but the apps start to dimm anyway I dont know what happened. Even when I set brightness in notification area in Velis, apps dimmed.
Download Lower Brightness Filter :
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=nu.lower.brightness&hl=en_US
Enable the permission and set brightness to 100%.
Then select brightness in phone to auto and restart the phone.
Then select desired brightness.
edit : it doesnt work....
Turn on Advanced visual effect.
I used to have the same problem too. Simply just go to setting>smart accessibility>accessibility>Advanced visual effect>turn on.
If it doesn't work go to developer option and make sure the window animation, transition animation and animation duration are set to 1x.
To enable the developer option, go to setting>about phone>build number>tap until it shows u are now a developer.
Hope it does help u.

Hello, I had it already turned on , in developer options I have all animations set to 1x, but it dimms the screen on my Honor Play with android 9.
Before we can fix that via ADB but now is not possible. If anyone has a better fix please share
