A34 5G - Peak brightness, how long?

[Ploert]

Today I noticed that the brightness of screen was poor in the car while navigating with gmaps.

I got out of the car and pointed it at the sun to see if brightness would go higher, but it didn't. See photo.

After going in a building paying a bill I walked outside and phone was bright again, also with gmaps in car.

It was a sunny day but not extremely hot, about 25 Celsius Fahrenheit.

Phone didnt feel hot at all. Was it a bug or does it tone down peak brightness automatically to save battery? If so, is there a fix? I don't have any battery saving things running, hence this phone battery can take a beating like no other.

phone up to date, one ui 6.0

Hey there

Is the Adaptive Brightness set to on?

Of course, you can't experience peak brightness with Adaptive brightness off. 

Btw I just tested it with a flashlight on screen. It stays bright, even with installing programs. But I tested it inside house, not so warm here. I will test some more with extra heat below the phone. Maybe tomorrow. Want to find out if it was a fluke, which i hope. Because i sold pixel 6a especially for this reason and bought this one for bright screen during sunny days with gmaps running on foot and in car.

It wasn't really hot too, this would be a disaster if it gets 35 degrees Celsius, which it gets here very often during summer.

Anyone know for what kind of heat the phones get designed to work normally? With normally i mean, no overheating during gmaps, not turning to night mode to cool down etc etc.

That's not a big thing, I was facing some issues like when I open an app it was taking time, my phone was only almost empty, so I use factory reset function, then I found ADAPTIVE BRIGHTNESS IS DISAPPEARED, NOW IT SAYS " OUT DOOR MODE" INSTED OF ADAPTIVE BRIGHTNESS, AND IF I SLIDE IT TO "ON" POSITION, BRIGHT REACHED TO MAXIMUM, AND IF I SLIDE IT TO "OFF" BRIGHTNESS CONTROLE IS MANUAL.

IT HAPPENS AFTER LATEST UPDATES.

MY 5 YEAR OLD M21 AND A32 STILL WORKING WITH ADAPTIVE BRIGHTNESS, AND THAT IS WORKING FINE WITH THEM.

BUT IN THIS À34 , I BELIEVE THIS UPGRADE IS MUTIPLE DOWNGRADE IN ADAPTIVE BRIGHTNESS THING

Really annoying writing in CAPS, please don't.

Your problem differs from mine so I would suggest opening your own forum topic.
