The automatic screen brightening function relies on the multi-sensor collaboration of the device:
| sensor | function |
|---|---|
| accelerometer | Detect device movement |

| distance sensor | Prevent accidental contact (e.g. in pocket) |
If you need to completely disable it, try:
1. Turning on "power saving mode" will temporarily turn off some sensor functions.
2. Create automation rules through "Shortcut Commands" to override the default behavior
