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
I don’t think there is a way to disable the feature, it sounds like a bug in the Nokia. My only suggestion would to be to use the Tasker app and write an automation that automatically turns off Adaptive Brightness if it is turned on. If the brightness changes when Adaptive Brightness first turns on you could have the task restore the previous brightness also. I know this shouldn’t be needed but it is an option.
Try disabling the Device Health Service, I hear that’s still a thing in newer droids.
