Bug description:
  On the brightness page, there is a slider to set brightness and a
  checkbox to set it automatically.

  When I select the automatic brightness, I was expecting the slider to
  show the current brightness level. Instead, it just keeps the old
  value manually set. I find this a little confusing: I have a slider
  whose value I can change, but will do nothing while the checkbox is
  marked, and the value it shows is different from the current
  brightness of the screen.

  <https://wiki.ubuntu.com/BrightnessAndDisplays#Phone>: "Because users
  have different preferences, the function should also be user-
  adjustable. This should be achieved by altering the display brightness
  manually while 'Adjust automatically' is checked."
