My moto g4 is not auto dimming (at dark) or going to full brightness (in sunlight) automatically

I checked and the sensor seems to be working (using a lux app)

Any idea what's going on?


Thanks!

Not at the moment. I don't normally use it but I did enable it for a test. It worked fine when I moved from dark to light and back so I can confirm it does work.

Silly question, but do you have 'adaptive brightness' enabled in the display settings?
Not silly at all. I tried it on the Moto 2nd gen, 3rd gen and now the G4 and I never liked it on any of them. I have had better luck just setting mine on one setting and sometimes when I'm on the golf course or something in full sunlight, I'll bump the brightness up a little. It just never seemed to be the right brightness so I gave up on it.
