HTC One - Screen Brightness Bug

[TheTransceiver]

This bug is easy to replicate whether auto brightness is activated or not.

When the brightness setting is set at any level below full brightness and I open the camera app then back out of it, the screen autonomously sets itself to brightest setting. However the bars on the widget still show it at low level. I must press the widget to adjust brightness up to full bars, although the screen is already at full brightness, and cycle through back down to the lower setting at which it should remain after backing out if camera app.

Anyone else notice this?

Yep, this happens to me too.

I can't replicate this with my DE.

Mine does this too. But the auto brightness kicks in and correctly adjusts the brightness within 1 - 2 seconds. So it is a non-issue for me.

BTW, I've noticed this same behavior with other Android phones also...

Mine gets very bright too but gradually backs down to normal a few seconds after.

It's not a bug. When taking photos, the screen automatically adjusts to full brightness to ensure the best possible photo opp by making sure you see everything you're shooting clearly. One of my favorite features.

That was exactly what I was about to post. I think it is a great feature, but should be optional. In those occasions when you are taking lots of photos/video, it can help drain the battery faster.

Yeah, I figured this out pretty quickly and it's certainly been one of my favourite features in the camera app. It's saved me on more then one occasion when shooting in bright daylight when I don't have time to upgrade my brightness.

But this feature is not that good for me. cuz of this my battery is draining so fast. This feature is good but I wish they could make it optional.

Agreed. Forcing upon us something like that isn't the best thing
