Sometimes my Nokia G60 5G on Android 13 reactivates Adaptive Brightness without my consent. In fact, it did so while I was writing this (noticed because the screen suddenly got brighter while I was typing; also, the virtual keyboard went away as if I had tapped out of the text input box).
How do I stop this? I wouldn’t mind permanently disabling Adaptive Brightness if that helped.
In your quick settings menu next to the brightness bar there’s typically a sun you can click to toggle it.
Is there not something similar on your device?
Nope. But my problem isn’t that disabling it again is too bothersome. It’s that even if I go into Settings->Display and turn off Adaptive Brightness, it turns on again without asking on its own randomly while I’m using my phone.
To head off potential misunderstandings. The “disabling it permanently” in the post meant something like somehow replacing the function with a noop so even if it gets reactivated, it wouldn’t do anything anymore.
And by “deactivating Adaptive Brightness” I didn’t mean just manually changing brightness and then being annoyed when it adapts again. I mean going into the Settings and disabling it, but somehow it gets reenabled randomly.
That just sounds like a bug on your particular phone model, because that has never happened to me on Google/Samsung/OnePlus phones
You could write a tasker script that disables it every 20s or so
