Could you elaborate? you can always control the brightness level either pulling down the notification bar or settings > display

I have checked on both enable/disable adaptive brightness and on minimum brightness level, display light is very high, compare with old version minimum brightness level is approx 60 to 70 %, same in night/dark area.

yes i m also facing the same problem after updating to v. 36.0.B.2.109

Before updating at 50 % brightness level screen brightness is very good.

After update i have to keep the brightness level b/w 70-80 % to achieve good brightness.

Also this update brings many new problems instead of solving older ones.Here i m mentioning some of the problems

faced after update.

1.Problem mentioned above.

2.Complete contents availavble in sd card is not read by phone

For example---if i have 6000 pics in my sd card then in phone album it is showing only 3000

3.Battery is draining faster as compared to previous version.

My Xperia XA Ultra screen is TOO BRIGHT !!

saver2012 — Mon, 24 Oct 2016 08:06:43 GMT

After updating my Xperia XA Ultra to the latest software version (Build number 36.0.B.2.109), my phone minimum brightness is increased and it's very inconvenient. My phone screen is too bright to use in the dark or at night time when I don't need much brightness. It also drain the battery more quickly.

Please tell me how can I set back the minimum brightness to the original level.

Hi,

Did you try to repair by connecting XA Ultra with XC?

I believe on the XA, even if set to auto, you can pull the taskbar down and lower the average brightness if it is too bright.
This won't affect the brightness once in a brighter area, where the auto will kick in again

I'm actually starting to think Google screwed something up with the backlight stuff - everyone's having issues across the board.

My proximity sensor has its days too

Yeah, I've seen a few LG customers with similar issues in dark scenarios, I think that the manual lowering whilst still on auto is the best workaround.
