Already since 2 months I am wondering about the logic of the “Adaptive Brightness” (=“Auto”) feature of the FP2 (or is it stock Android stuff?)…
As @freibadschwimmer already assumed, Auto is set on-top of the manual settings.
But until now, I could not find a good setting which sweets all situation I have (dark inside, bright outside).
My tests: “Auto” is enabled…:
- If I set the manual value to the lowest value, the brightness does NOT increase in bright conditions at all (or I can’t notice it in the sun, thu I cant see anything outside).
- If I set it to the max: it is at max (and eats battery like hell)!
- If I set it to a middle value: It is far to bright inside, but reacts good in the sun and I can see something
- If I set it to a very low value in the dark, to see enough but to save battery in the dark, in the sun it never becomes bright enough to seeing enough.
So, I am puzzled how to use this “feature”…
Can anybody help out and already undestood how it is/should working?
And I am afraid to try adjusting the “auto” values with gravity box (where for each light-sensor-value a brightness-value can be set between 0 and 255).
Comparison with FP1 - there it is that simple:
- Set it manually to low/mid/bright
OR - Use the Auto feature (which can be tuned with gravitybox for shifting it to a even lower or brighter level, or shift only the min/max of the auto-range)
So, again I am very surprised about this SMARTphone Auto-feature of FP/Google…
