The automatic brightness sensor of Apple devices underwent changes with the arrival of iOS 6 and that introduced problems for users, such as problems with Wi-Fi networks. The problems especially affect iphone 5 users to whom it seems that the automatic brightness sensor does not work correctly under iOS 6, we will explain how reset it and start it up again. The video is in English but with this series of steps you can solve the problems.
- Go to a dim or dark room.
- Open the settings app from the home screen of your iPhone.
- Tap on Glitter and wallpaper.
- Turns off automatic brightness adjustment.
- Adjust the slide bar brightness to the desired for the environment where you are, it will be quite low since the darkness is high.
- Turn on automatic brightness adjustment again.
- Turn on the light in the room.
- Watch as the slider begins to rise on its own until it adjusts to the new light coming through the sensor.
In the course of the slide bar running on its own the sensor has been recalibrating. Once this process is finished, the automatic brightness adjustment problems should have disappeared from our devices that have iOS 6 installed. I have already tried it and it seems that everything works again with normalEven if you lock your terminal, it will start again with the lowest brightness that you would have given to the sliding bar.

That is not a solution and not a problem, simply that the function is like that, no more, no less.
Well no, you're wrong, there is a recognized bug in the automatic brightness of iOS 6
The day I bought it in the Apple Store I did it right there without anyone telling me, I think it is a calibration process, I saw it as something logical. Now, if it is a failure recognized by Apple itself, then I am silent, but I have not read any official article where Apple recognizes it.
The truth is that I do not know if it is a failure, although I think not, but what is clear is that as long as you do not touch the brightness everything is fine, now, as you change it for some reason, either because you have direct light on the iphone that makes it shine too much or on the contrary an indirect light that makes the brightness is low, you already have it packed and you have to resort to these methods to leave it as it was. What Apple should do is put a shortcut to brightness to change it quickly whenever you want.
All the best
What the application should do is that if you go from a very bright place to a dark one, it does not continue to shine at the top, but it will go down, and that at least I do not see it on my iPhone 5 or on iOS 6
It does nothing to me, will I have to change the iPhone for the 4 time? ...
By the way, it's a 4S
It doesn't work for me either ... I have an iPhone 5 ... Pedro Padilla, Dominican Republic ...
I have done it, and it is true that it improves, it no longer leaves you blind in dark places, but now the problem is that in very illuminated places the brightness does not rise as much as it should ... And if you change it manually, the brightness.
I have followed the steps correctly even trying to turn on the light before turning on the automatic brightness and it does nothing, and less that of raising the bar until the light is adjusted, I don't know where you got that from the bar going up because I just the brightness rises a tad.
All this with an iphone 4g with ios 6.0
Thank you very much, I tested it with an iPhone 4S and if it was calibrated as you say, I really don't know why it didn't work for other people, they can test it at night with the light off and then turn it on
Gentleman, you are a crack. I am useless in this mobile and you have saved my life
Excellent, it works for me in 4S ios updated to date.
I'm wondering the same. My 4S is also doing well now.
