Auto Brightness Inconsistent?

Seems my N7's auto brightness fluctuates a lot.
Not really consistent.

It darkens when it should be brightening & vice versa - on occasions.

Where is the sensor located?

Any1 notice this fluctuation?
 
Yeah the update made it worse, just turn off auto and set it manually. The sensor is next to the camera on the front at the top of the screen.
 
My screen starting constantly fiddling with the brightness after one of the updates (I don't actually remember which one - 4.2 I think). It got so annoying I disabled the auto setting. It would be sitting motionless in a fixed light environment and it would still fiddle the brightness constantly.
 
Yup, I notice a slight flickering of the screen due to auto brightness adjustments quite often after 4.2 was installed. The lighting at our house is pretty dark so I imagine that has something to do with it.
 
Actually, I was reading a journal article just a second ago and noticed some flickering.

Mild annoyance, but I'm sure it'll get worked out
 
two days ago i downloaded lux from google play, its pretty neat but then i uninstalled it again, i found that auto brightness is not that bad maybe because i am in bright lighting places almost all the time. why dont you try lux....
 
One of the first things I did on my N7 was to turn the auto brightness off since it always seemed to keep the screen too dark for my taste.
