Unable to turn off auto brightness at times - motox6 - 05-05-2021
I am sometimes unable to turn off auto-brightness for the display.
And while this in itself would not be a problem, it tends to decide on its own to turn the brightness all the way down making the display difficult to read in bright light.
This usually happens when I am at an extreme in brightness. For example, out in the sun.
I use the tap-down at the top of the display and set the brightness back to something reasonable and over a few minutes it pulls the brightness back down to minimum. The behavior is repeatable.
Over in Settings when I try to disable auto brightness the button slides over to the left but does not turn grey. It stays blue. And I can see the brightness setting bouncing around.
Next if I go inside where the ambient like is not shall we say extreme, the auto-brightness button can be turned off.
I am wondering if the button has trouble working right when the brightness it is reading from the sensor is at an extreme end of its scale?
