Post [Q] Brightness Issue

Just wondering, did anyone else notice that when you try going to max brightness (from settings->display) it only goes to 99%? And if you try going to 100% with widgets, the screen gets brighter all the way till 99% and then when it hits 100 it gets a lot dimmer
Anyone else noticed this? Or is this bug specific to my poor unrooted X10a ?

I went to the Setting -> Display and Un-check Auto but I did not get the % scale, it just a scroll bar without any number in it, but it went all the way up and down as well. Maybe depends on the firmware in the phone...

Yea you can't see the number over there.. you need a widget for that. But if you slide it to the maximum possible, and then look at the number in a widget(I've tried 4 so far, so its not a widget problem) it says 99%, if you make that 100 through the widget, it dims.
I guess SE knew this and made the max brightness 99%?

Yea it happens to me too. I use Quick settings and when I slide to 100%, it dims. But it's not really a big deal cuz I set my phone at 18-20%. Saves a lot of battery

Yes i noticed that to! I was looking for a widget to controll backlight, found one that looked pretty and got a bit sad couse i thought it was faulty for not working correct so i uninstalled it. Nice to know the reason for why things not work :)
