Why Auto-Brightness on iPhone, Android is Awful

[Guest]

Gotta love how I was marked down -6 within an hour for daring to impartially defend the iPhone.

Confirms every immaturity of this forum's readership.

You got thumbed down, including by me, because of how vague, unproductive, and sarcastic your comment was against another poster. On the flip side, I am going to thumb down that other person's comment as well.

On that note, Apple is to blame for their own auto-brightness bugs. Google's Android OS is to blame for their auto-brightness bugs. Perhaps they are sharing the same software tech, I'm not entirely sure on that, but regardless their faults for implementing something that buggy. But hey, at least the feature is there on both phones, as crappy as it is, and of course there's the ability to turn it off. Much like Google's instant search, its buggy too considering it won't respond well to fast typists. Although when you clear browsing history and cookies, it obnoxiously comes back.

YOU SUCK AT TESTING!!!!

I'm using an iPhone 4. If the brightness has increased b/c you have moved to a new area and it won't return to it's original brightness whenyou enter a darker area ALL YOU HAVE TO DO IS TURN THE SCREEN OFF AND BACK ON AGAIN. The brightness level will reset to it's original level.

Kinda defeats the point of AUTO brightness now doesn't it? The Blackberry had this right but my Droid X never dims low enough in auto brightness mode? Why can't auto brightness go below 40 Percent?
