How to get Auto-brightness to work on iphone 4?

I've read so many websites and all of them claim to have a fix but this fix isn't working for me.

I have never been able to get it to work, even before the Auto-brightness overhaul in IOS6, it doesn't matter whether the slider is set to on or off the brightness level remains the same.

I've tried calibrating my device

- Go into a dark room
- Turn auto brightness off
- Drag the slider all the way to the dimmest setting (or which ever brightness you're comfortable with)
-Turn Auto-brightness on
- Step into a light area and it should auto adjust

But this doesn't work, I try this and it just stays at the dimmest setting after going into broad sunlight.

So I tried calibrating it for bright too, turned auto off, dragged the slider to 50% / 75% and turned it on, walked into a dark room and it's still bright.

Any suggestions?

Added (1). I notice no change at all, I've seen videos of it in action and the slider does change, depending on how it was calibrated the amount it would change would be very noticeable, I've calibrated it to be very dim in very dark rooms yet I still get blinded in the night when I go to check my phone

Go to settings and adjust the brightness to a lower level. Auto-brightness should adjust in time

Did the brightness change at all? Auto brightness does not move the brightness slider, because it auto adjusts relative to how high you have the brightness set.

And most of the time, the change in brightness is very subtle

  • Why won't the auto-join feature on my iphone work? I have this feature on my phone, where it joins wi-fi networks automatically, but sometimes, it work and I end up having to manually select a network. (Another problem I have is that some networks that I have to manually select have security passwords)
  • Why Doesn't My iPhone 5s Auto Brightness Adjust? I have an iPhone 5a an for some reason, it doesn't seem to adjust whenever I'm in low and high lit area. What should I do?
  • Which grand theft auto should I get on my iphone? Any recommendations for which gta to choose? They are expensive and I don't want to make the wrong choice. I'm running the current ios on an iPhone 5 if that helps
  • IPhone auto brightness- how does it really work? Once I unlock my 4s, the screen either gets brighter or darker, depending on lighting. Now, let's say my screen adjusted itself to a brighter setting in a bright room. Without turning off my phone, I move to a darker room. Now shouldn't the brightness automatically dim? Or is this how the feature works (adjusts only when device is unlocked)?
