Your Android screen is too dim or won't get brighter
Your phone has Adaptive Brightness that automatically adjusts the screen based on the light around you. When it gets out of sync, your screen gets stuck dim. Turn off Adaptive Brightness in Display settings and set the brightness manually.
Android phones have Adaptive Brightness that automatically adjusts your screen based on the light around you. It uses a sensor near the top of the phone. When this sensor gets confused or the setting misbehaves, your screen stays dim. We'll turn off Adaptive Brightness so you have full control.
