Auto Brightness Problems in low light?

[BrianR-]

Just got my Versa a few days ago and noticed that when I'm in the house the display will fluctuate from dim to normal several times.  It almost looks like it is flickering but I think its just the brightness changing.  It doesn't seem to happen in bright light.  I was wondering if anyone else is experiencing this?  I purchased from Target and they dont seem to have any more SE in stock or I'd just exchange it.  I may just buy another online to see if it exhibits the same issue.

Hi @BrianR- I'm sorry to hear you having an issue with your Versa. I haven't seen any similar issues with Versa, but did find one HERE with the Ionic, which has the same OS. Per that thread it appears the issue was resolved by contracting customer support. Fingers crossed.

I bought another and same issue. Must just be how the hardware is. Try using weather land in low light and you should be able to see a flicker.  Pretty disappointed right now.

I had this issue when using the Auto brightness setting. I now use Normal setting during the day and switch it to Dim at bedtime.

Yeah, definitely the issue. Thanks for the info!

I have the same issue and finding the settings to switch the brightness from auto to dim is already difficult since the display is very dim in auto mode in the evening. I think it should be possible to calibrate the minimum brightness like on iPhones.

Looks to me that if I am setup on auto for some reason at 8 am by screen become unusable outside.i have to put it to normal but after supper 8t is just to bright on normal so I have to put it on auto

This just started about 1 to 2 weeks ago as it was ok for a year before that. I hate that auto just does not work
