With no lights on in my room, right before I fell asleep, I received a few msgs yesterday night and I had the edge lighting and the Adaptive screen brightness turned on and they gave me a notification for the msgs received. The brightness of the edge lighting in the dark room was killing my eyes (even with the adaptive light turned on) and when I opened the phone lock with the edge lighting already glowing, the same brightness reflected on to my display after the lock was opened as well.
Initially I thought it was just me, so I turned down the brightness manually to minimum. I kept receiving msgs and everytime I opened the phone lock while the edge lighting was still glowing, my display's brightness kept creeping up to 50% each time. If I waited for the edge glow to end and then unlock my phone, then the adaptive brightness would keep the display brightness at the right level I expect in that room.
The thing here is,
1. The edge lighting had it's own brightness even in the dark room with the adaptive brightness for display on, which I would expect is a normal behaviour since they are designed to attract the user's attention.
2. When i unlock my mobile at the instance when the edge lightning is glowing why doesn't the adaptive brightness kick in to turn down the display brightness in a dark room?

I know it's a big story to read but I hope I have asked the right question here. Will be reporting this as well now.
