Auto brightness is not great

[fred134134]

Coming from the note20u ultra I kept the phone on auto brightness and thought it did a decent job.

The problem I have is how low the brightness goes in dark environment. It's so dim the screen is really hard to see.

I ended up installing velis Auto brightness and while it's a little complex at first it does the trick. I set a limit based on amount of lightning on how bright I want the screen

Now this isn't a set and forget it. You need to measure brightness detected by the app and adjust the brightness levels. Take a few days of going in different environments but you can get it the way you want.

Is "extra dim" on by mistake? I love that at night but forget to toggle it back off sometimes, I need to go back to Bixby Routines. It's interesting to hear your experience, because I'm also coming from a N20U and find the S22U frequently too bright for comfort.

I've never used auto brightness for this reason, and it would be so easy to fix with a minimum brightness setting.

Never had issues with auto brightness, if I need it little more dimmer or brighter then in auto brightness just adjust the bar , it remembers where I kept it in that environment

Just experimented and Mustang is correct, you can train it pretty much instantly if you have a dark room.

Yeah if you train it couple times it should adapt to where u like , that's my experience.

This phone is like crazy good compared to my pixel... Since I picked up the phone I think I had to adjust the brightness once..

I do agree the pixels auto brightness doesn't work as good I seem to adjust auto little more often

Yeah man I have to disable it on the pixel it just sucks...

Lol , I like to see them improve in that if i had a request but other then that pretty solid.

I doubt they're going to improve that I think it's just the way Google wants it to perform LOL... Solid phone overall though

Yeah I keep auto brightness as well, as @mustang7757 mentioned I just adjust the brightness in the auto brightness slider if for a particular environment it's not dark or bright and it learns from it. Definitely don't want to be manual brightness and worry about adjusting brightness all the time. Moreover better battery with adaptive brightness instead of manual brightness.

Unless you are like Flossy and others who rides with max brightness all the time
