[bug] 1.0.8.19, brightness at 100% on waking up [released]

The screen brightness is shocking high on waking up the phone after standby... or is it a feature? :)
I am now using Jolla for the first time in months and I updated to Tahkalampi. I have noticed that the auto brightness is doing weird things (I keep brightness setting at middle), screen darkens for no apparent reason and then when you turn it off and on, it's bright again.
The auto brightness used to be perfect, I really liked it.

And yes, the high brightness after waking up is annoying now that I have adjusted the setting, and I would also disagree that it's "barely noticeable" in normal lightning.

Turns out that during unblanking missing sensor data was misinterpreted as sensor not in use: the initial brightness was as if "automatic" was not chosen -> in darkness it is likely that display is initially too bright; in bright conditions too dim. Then, after fresh data is received from the sensor, the display returns to expected brightness level. If both manual and automatic methods yield about the same brightness level -> the glitch is not so visible.
Fix will be included in the next update.

Its the new "blind the user" feature :P
ApB ( 2014-07-14 22:20:33 +0200 )editUGH! This is an anti-feature. Bed-time browsing (you're doing it too, admit it!). Screen times-out when reading a longer piece (the indicator led is quire dim now, but that's ok). Double-tap to wake up and continue. FLASH. I sure hope we're not stuck with this for two months!
Fuzzillogic ( 2014-07-14 22:55:29 +0200 )editAs a workaround you could disable auto-brightness and reduce brightness to a handy level. Or wear your sunglasses for bed-time browsing, hehe... 8-/
