Auto Brightness bug?

**disflipissofresh** · 09-21-2012, 12:56 PM

I don't know if it is the iphone 5 or ios6 but it seems to me that the auto brightness doesn't work? Anybody else having this problem?

I've always seen funkiness with autobrightness IMHO, but what are you expecting and what are you seeing?

Yes, it has been reported in regard to the iPhone, but auto-brightness on the iPad seem to be unaffected.

Nvm, it works. It just slow for some reason lol. So try this method I found. Put the brightness to the lowest it can go, then turn on auto brightness and give it a little light and you should see it move.

It fixed it for a few months and it went back to its crummy auto brightness shenanigans again. Hopefully Apple fixes this issue in the future.

Auto brightness has never worked for me either. I always keep it off with my brightness almost all the way down.

mine was funky for awhile too a few months ago. i got it working properly again by turning it off, adjusting the phone to the brightness i wanted it at for the ambient light i was currently in, then turned it on. after that, its been working fine. there was a how to article posted here or somewhere else a few months ago that explained it.
