Auto-brightness too sensitive in low light

[Gwenddoleu]

Hello!

I must always disable auto-brightness when I'm in a low light environment (e.g. evenings, mornings when it's dark) because the Mate 9's auto-brightness is too sensitive. That is, it does a kind of loop, adjusting brightness to the minimum, then increasing a little, then decreasing to the minimum, then increasing a little......

I suspect the algorithm to be too sensitive, so that when displaying a page the light from the screen is perceived by the sensor which makes the auto-brightness to decrease, and so on...

Do you have the same problem? I'm almost sure it can be fixed by software update, but last official update didn't do nothing.

I don't have that issue but I do find the display likes to dim a little bit too much for my taste.

I have an Honor 8 and ever since the Android 7.0 / EMUI 5 update the same thing is happening on my phone, auto screen brightness is over sensitive at night it dims pretty low, this was never a problem before the update so I assume it must be something Huawei built into the updated software.
