Sometimes my Nokia G60 5G on Android 13 reactivates Adaptive Brightness without my consent. In fact, it did so while I was writing this (noticed because the screen suddenly got brighter while I was typing; also, the virtual keyboard went away as if I had tapped out of the text input box).

How do I stop this? I wouldn't mind permanently disabling Adaptive Brightness if that helped.

To head off potential misunderstandings. The "disabling it permanently" in the post meant something like somehow replacing the function with a noop so even if it gets reactivated, it wouldn't do anything anymore.

And by "deactivating Adaptive Brightness" I didn't mean just manually changing brightness and then being annoyed when it adapts again. I mean going into the Settings and disabling it, but somehow it gets reenabled randomly.

That just sounds like a bug on your particular phone model, because that has never happened to me on Google/Samsung/OnePlus phones

You could write a tasker script that disables it every 20s or so
