Minimum screen brightness increased

[OldRoutard]

Hi Alxndr
The brightness has returned to its behaviour of before the 3.A.0129 update of 5 August. As you will see from that very long thread, the 0129 sought to implement a wider range of brightness but failed to compensate for this in the adaptive brightness function. The result was, that for many users their phones would suddenly go almost black!
There is also a thread dedicated to the problem:

Update Aug 0129 Ambient light | Adaptive brightness

Carrying on from the discussion on the Adaptive brightness issues noted since the latest update The issue appears to be a) the ambient light sensor is not working as it did before and b) setting the slider at any value is overridden once the ambient sensor reads again. So this happens in the evening as the light fades, even before sunset if there is no direct light on the sensor and early morning before such light and probably any other situation where sensor reads zero As soon as the s…

The version you’ve just updated to, 0132, simply returns to the previous values. A fresh attempt at improving brightness has been promised for a future update.

For my part, I also regret this return to a “minimum brightness” level that is far too high. I don’t use adaptive brightness much and was happy to adjust the level manually. Let’s hope they provide a better solution soon!
