Is it still required to disable automatic brightness? El Capitan 10.11.2
-
Hi I just want to know if it is still required to disable automatic brightness on OS X El Capitan 10.11.2 for f.lux to function properly. I need the automatic brightness feature so I had to remove f.lux app before.
-
Just installed 10.11.3 and I had the problem manifest for the first time and disabling automatic brightness seems to have helped. I would guess Yes, it is still broken. :(
-
Please add your Macbook model number if you can.
As is usual, all of our machines in-house work fine!

I'm having the same issue as Adam. I have always used f.lux with El Capitan and have never had any issue, but then I installed 10.11.3 today, and the flickering started happening. Turning off the automatic brightness setting helped. iMac (Retina 5K, 27-inch, Late 2014)
-
Also your installed version of f.lux would be very helpful to know here.

@lorna @Les-Pozdena I am using a MacBook Pro (Retina, 15-inch, Mid 2014), and after upgrading to OS X El Capitan Version 10.11.3 last night, I have been experiencing periodic flickering. I had never encountered this before on this notebook or on my iMac running El Capitan, as well. I use the automatic brightness feature, because it is enormously helpful for eye strain and changes in light environment. I am wondering if this bug has been fixed, or if it will be fixed soon, and if there is anything I can do to prevent this?

@Yonathan which version of f.lux?
-
@lorna Version 36.5
-
Can you redownload and try with version 36.6 (live on the site)? We usually shine phone flashlights at the sensor to test it quickly.
-
@lorna I am now running version 36.6, and it is exhibiting the same behavior.
-
@Yonathan can you tell me if it persists after rebooting? thanks.
-
@lorna It appears to be working perfectly at the moment. I appreciate your help with troubleshooting. Thank you so much! I will be sure to let you know if I have any further problems.
-
that's great news, thanks - let us know if it comes back please?
