So i got the update and the ambient lighting issue is very prominent and sometimes even dims the light so far that i even at night can no longer read the text on my phone. I can understand that it could be the result of a fix to save battery (if that was the motivation behind it). I also want to try to leave some room for thought. Is it maybe possible to make smaller jumps from being bright to being dim but therefore have more of them? I can imagine that could maybe help with these big jumps from being bright to being dim. (I have checked that and most of the time it was switching from the dimmest setting to half brightest setting and vice versa if you tilt the phone the right way (I use a FP3+). Hopefully this is more helpful to you than my initial comment.
I was riding my bike two days ago with the FP3 on the handlebars. In pure, bright sunshine, which should be the brightest the ambient light sensor could ever see, the brightness suddenly went to zero. I had to restart the phone as I had absolutely no chance to see anything on the screen.
So there is definitively something terribly wrong with the software handling the value from the sensor.
This topic will close 6 months after the last reply.
Just to have it open until 2/04/2022…
I really liked the adaptive brightness feature as it was before so I’ll check for updates on a regular basis and keep on moving the slider from 0% to 50 or more. Maybe he is a slow learner…
I mean I did exactly that. The feature is completely useless for me as it is, since it too often goes as dark as possible. I rather fix it manually twice a day (evening and morning). YMMV but I believe its a good tip in general.
If I’m outdoors the ambient sensor seems fine as it rarely goes ‘dark’ but once I go inside it’s more of a problem, so then it’s off, best or worst of both worlds.
Who said you can’t eat all your cake and then throw it up.
