I just got my OP2 yesterday and noticed something. The backlight on this phone when on something white will for some reason just suddenly flick dimmer than it was and not go back unless I either reboot or mess with this brightness anyone else had this?
And yes I have adaptive brightness turned off. I remember I had this issue on my old N5 and it bugged me to no end.

Anyone else seeing this?
I could have swore that on my first Nexus device (RMAed due to bad speaker), I could turn the brightness all the way down and use the tablet on the lowest setting.
On my new Nexus (no issues so far), if I turn the brightness dial all the way down, the backlight totally shuts off, causing the screen to be impossible to be seen.
I'm not RMAing this one because it's perfect otherwise, it's just very weird behavior
I got the brightness on mine all the way down & the screen isn't off.

Did you find a solution?
I have the same problem. If I turn down to minimum brightness (10% or less) my screen goes black. The only way I can see what's on the screen is if I shine a light, and then I can barely make out what the screen says. I assume this is an easy software fix. Also, if auto-brightness is on and I'm in a dark environment the screen will occasionally dip to the lowest setting and turn off.
I'm on my second device also. My first one had bad screen lift, flickering and occasionally screen glitches with black lines flickering through the screen. This one had no noticeable screen lift out of the box, but I'm reserving my judgement, as the device I just returned was fine for the first few hours and then got worse as I used it more.
I have both devices side by side, since Google mailed me the new one first. Comparing the two, I notice the old one's screen is slightly brighter, maybe about 10% or so, but definitely noticeable. Also my new one has a little bit of bleeding on the left side; not terrible as some pictures I've seen, but definitely there.
Update: The screen flickering returned, so I just requested a second replacement. This is actually ridiculous.
Hi,
I have an auto-brightness issue, when I turn the auto mod on the screen turn all black. I can still heard clicking sounds and when I put the N7 under a strong light ( white leds ) it turn on. So it is definitely a brightness problem. I just fix the level on 25% and everything go right, until I start the YouTube app who magically change the brightness and in the first 5sec of the video the screen turn black again I have to fix the value at 50% for avoiding that.
Anyone experience this issue ?
Any fixe ?
Do you think it's an ardware or software problem?
Thanks
Running the Alliance rom, clean install on stock slot. No other major issues that I can think of. I've got it set to maximum brightness, not on auto dimmer. When the screen dims after 30 seconds or so, when its about to turn off due to inactivity, half the time when I tap the screen, it recovers to full brightness. The other half the time, it gets a little brighter than the dim mode, but not much. It stays way dimmer than the full brightness setting that I keep it on. I have to pull the notification bar down, slide the dimmer down, and back up to maximum, and I'm good to go until the next time it does it. Which could be in 30 seconds when it dims again.
Anybody else having this issue?

I have the same thing happening. Personally I have been too lazy about it to check through settings to see if I've done something. I'll check on it and see if I can find a fix.
*Update*
I've checked through all my settings and can find nothing that might cause it. I don't have Auto Brightness set, nor do I have Auto Adjust Screen Tone turned on. I saw nothing in the Alliance Settings either. I believe it is a system setting that is probably buried in code somewhere (far beyond my knowledge).
**Update** I reported the bug in the Alliance Forum.
I tend to agree. I've looked through settings, etc. just as you have, to no avail. I'm nearly certain it's done it since install, so I don't think it's something that I've changed. But I could be wrong. I've also tried it with auto adjust turned on, does the same thing. Auto adjusts to a dimmer setting sometimes
I had to switch out my s7e and my 2nd unit keeps dimming the screen when in low light. I have brightness at max and auto brightness turned off. Are there any fixes for this? Does anyone know if the Base (sp) rom fixes this?
Test if your device does this: set screen to max brightness and turn auto brightness off. turn your screen off. Turn off the light in your room. Turn screen on and unlock screen. It should be a bit dimmer. Now turn screen off, turn the rooms light back on, and turn the phone back on. It should now be brighter. Does your phone do this?
Bump
Mine does it too and while this issue has been documented on different forums I have yet to see a real season or fix. Found posts about it also happening on the S6. It is irritating as I thought that auto brightness turned off should completely prevent this. You can trigger changes by covering/uncovering the proximity sensors at the front top of the phone with your fingers.
Hello friends,
I have noticed that when Adaptative brightness is on, my phone take a few more seconds to wake-up from its screen off, sleeping state.
There is really a noticeable difference than when Adaptative brightness is not enabled. I'm wondering if anyone else had noticed this, and if there any way to fix it.
Regards.
Thanks this was exactly my problem with Android N final release. As soon as I turned off adaptive brightness my screen wakes up right away. Did you ever find a fix?
