I was responding to azayn whose description of the behaviour on the Aura ONE didn't match my experience with that device or any others that supported the side-swipe.

And I have to admit I hadn't realised that the Aura didn't support the side-swipe as well. But, it is obvious when you say it, unless they wanted to put extra options in.

That feature did not adjust the light live from firmware 3.19(?) up to at least 4.3.8945. You would slide your fingers up or down while the screen remained at the same brightness. When you let go, the light would adjust. Another user on here mentioned his refusal to update because that feature (that worked live on 3.15(?)) was broken in later updates.
I don't remember anyone describing the two-finger light adjustment on the Aura like that. I thought the complaint was it either just didn't work, or was to erratic to be reliable.

At any rate, it's working again for me. Nice little bonus.
That's good to hear.
