lockscreen bug in adaptive brightness

[xperiaSPuser37]

I have got this twice that after couple of weeks of use the backlight malfunctions and dont turn off when screen is turned off with adaptive brightness selected on. If I turn off adaptive brightness in settings the backlight behaves normally. I have to restart the device to get adaptive brightness working normally again. Using latest 5.0.2 update.

Hello. I couldn't get a screenshot to show this issue. After 5.1.1 when waking up phone the brightness of screen is exceedingly bright, then dims down after about 3-5 seconds after or if screen is touched.

What's gives? No root, x reality is off. I loved this phone on kitkat, been horrible after 5.0.2 and 5.1.1.

Hey,

Should of clarified. I have already repaired after horrible battery life and T-Mobile connectivity issues.

Are you using auto brightness?

Hey, I got a fairly new z3c and the same issue.
After the update the brightness is somewhat messed up. I did a backup and reset my phone then did the update so I think this is not something you could just repair yourself.
I got the music widget on my screen and you can see that the brightness even exceeds the normal maximum settings and really distorts colours.

This should get some attention and bet fixed

Same here. My z3 gets so bright after I double-tap or either press the power button. Does not happen when auto-brightness is off. So it seems that this got messed up on the 5.1.1 cuz did not had this prior to this update. Please fix this asap guys.

Hello,

I have got the same issue with my Z3 compact since update on Android 5.1.

It looks very bad because I have got a very dark background.

I have the same issue with my device after updating to 5.1.1.
