It works for me, at least it does right now. We’ll see if it’s a structural solution.
Just for others who are trying this: when you get to the Device Configuration app and tap Storage and cache, you only need to clear the app’s cache for this to work.
Which had me hapy, cause god knows what horror I would unleash if I erased all my device settings by pressing Clear Storage.
And as stated earlier, the screen brightness won’t change simply from this cache clearing, but from then on it will no longer go super dark when you are at a mild light level.
Just for the record and to avoid potential confusion, adaptive brightness has not changed since
3.A.0132.20211027 released 2021.11.16 which was simply a roll-back after the difficulties experienced by some users following
3.A.0129.20210805 released 2021.08.27 which reduced minimum absolute brightness without amending the behaviour of Adaptive brightness.
We are still hoping for a fresh attempt to reduce the minimum absolute brightness value without the unwanted side effects experienced by some users with Adaptive brightness. This may come in a future update of Android 11.
It’s been misbehaving a bit again recently. Nowhere near as bad as the first time but still goes a bit dark when it shouldn’t sometimes. Possibly since the latest OS update a few weeks ago?
When an OS update implements changes to Adaptive brightness behaviour, I think it’s likely that previously “learnt” user preferences values get reset. In which case AB would have to re-learn the user’s preferences.
I have no concrete information on this however.
Yes the 11, 13.4 update. It didn’t seem helpful nor logical to open another thread but I’ll add my 2p’s worth to the new one if that’s what people want.
Well apart from this topic being for an old A10 version ?? there are already comments about this on the general A11 0013.4 update.
So a) the tend to get lost in the general compliants and
b) people don’t really follow the old out of date topics and I direct support to the current one.
It’s difficult to keep account of the issue spread over different topics, so thank you
