Im using extended widgets too, mine goes as low as 1% but i think thats still the systems native low brightness Voodoo goes even lower...

Just slide your finger along the notification bar.

app called "brightness level"
set to 0%

Interested in this as well.
I think we are actually looking for something lower than 0%
It is probably the amoled screen vs backlit one, the way they operate. 20% on lcd is much lower than 0% on amoled.
Maybe there is some kind of overlay that can act as Rayban? Like ie when you do Titanium backup, you can see the rest of the application being much darker than the notification that pops up. Probably some overlay being used.
Maybe some of you asking yourself why, but try using it in complete darkness for awhile and you'll see what I mean.

I had tested all brightness apps in market but no one goes lower.
Thanks for help.
Mybe a dev or supercurio can help to explain

Yes, the lowest stock level is already quite bright, too bright of course for night use in bed.
You'll also notice that the colors & contrast looks quite dull on the lowest stock brightness settings, with a color deviation in the red shadow colors.
With the revamped Voodoo color which will be released step by step during the next weeks, you'll be able to go so "dark" (if chosen) that you'll be almost not able to see it in the dark even when on
All that, preserving color accuracy and color temperature (which goes more red when you lower the brightness on stock)

does this app go lower than "Dimmer - Night mode" ?
Dimmer shows it goes from 30 (lowest stock) to 10...

moved this is not a Dev topic

[Q] Jeff Sharkey's AMOLED "night mode"

Has anyone attempted to/willing to try to implement this on the Captivate?
jsharkey.org/blog/2010/07/01/android-surfaceflinger-tricks-for-fun-and-profit/
This is really interesting. I'm into astronomy and it would be awesome to not have the phone blind me everytime I turn it on during an observing session to use it for google sky and the atomic clock.
Apparently no dev types are interested enough to tell us that they are not interested.

No doubt.
This thing is blinding even on the lowest brightness setting.
Yes, the brightness is pretty ridiculous. Is this because of the AMOLED screen? Can't set brightness below "blinding" due to no backlight?
I have heard that the leaked I897UCJH2 rom has a lower mininal brightness; which might help with the blinding brightness at night, and also helps bettery a bit.
Not sure if you guys are interested in leaked ROMs but I'm sure if Samsung does not release it that a cook will make a custom rom from it.
looks awesome
Bump.
I think this would be extremely useful.

on Google sky map theres a night mode option when you press the menu key.
I seem to recal hearing that at a certain point when the voltage is too low the screen will still work, but you see glitches/artifacts.
So im assuming this is why the min brightness is set where it is.

There is that very low brightness that occurs when you have less than 10% battery life. I wish they would make that brightness user selectable.
Even if the screen cannot be physically set below a certain level of brightness, it would be trivial to have the OS do the equivalent of putting a partially-transparent black rectangle over the screen. Sure, color fidelity would suffer, but it would be a welcome option anyway--I have seriously considered wearing sunglasses in bed.

wow, i think your right.
instead of trying to set the brighness lower just put a transparent gray object that sites on top of all the windows.
It would have the same effect and save tons of battery.

Search for a widget called Curvefish Brightness Level in the market. Set it to 0% brightness, which appears to be the same as the low battery life brightness.

i9000 screen problem

Hi all,
Got the Galaxy S for a month, pretty happy with it. Yesterday, the brightness suddenly gone up. The worst part is the display lost the gradient scaling and it is replaced by colour bands!
Apps like the stock video player for example. Before the video is played, you can see the grey control bar at the bottom covers by a lot of colour bands. The colour of the movie is all washed out as if you were playing it in 8 bit colour mode. Where the same avi played okay before, crystal clear and colour was rich.
Same thing with the charging screen while the phone is off. You can see the colour bands on the grey area of the shadow of the green battery. Just wondering if anyone has the same problem?
Cheers!
Factory reset :d
Tried all that full factory wipe, data reset, flash to different rom. Nothing works
Then your device's probably faulty. replace it.
Pretty certain it is. I took a screenshot of the video player and it looks fine but on the screen, you can still see those colour bands meters away.
I guess this indicates the LCD is faulty.

The galaxy s has no LCD its LED
Ive noticed when you slide down that tray from the top, when closing it mine has MANY TIMES switched to full brightness. But simply tapping the brightness button on the multi widget thingy makes it go back to how I want.

Hi I have the exact same problem! But I didn't notice it before now wen I saw this thread. But all the colours are just fine when I play a vid, it's just the grey controlbar that is by many stripes of different colours, looks like 8bit colour. But when the vid starts playing its just fine, because it gets transparent. Should I get this phone changed, have just had it a couple of weeks.

Hi Radat,
I posted more info in the other forum including some screenshots. http://forums.whirlpool.net.au/forum-replies.cfm?t=1520586
Hope yours okay. I am going to call Samsung tomorrow.
romhunter,
yup, saw the screenshots, looks like quantization problem i.e. that colours are using fewer bits than normal. For example, RGB screen might use 24 bits per pixel, 8 bits per r/g/b colour, the screenshots seem to suggest only 5 or 6 bits per colour.
Hopefully this is just a software glitch, though you said you already tried factory reset / wipe, could it be a loose cable wire somewhere or maybe a problem with the screen to mainboard connector?

Just got a brand new device. Used it for about an hour, then the exact same thing happened - out of the blue.
Any possible home-front solutions? Having to take it to be serviced is a PITA for me ATM.
Mine definitely seems to have banding in the video player control pane before the video playback starts. Can someone please post a screenshot of how it should be? I haven't seen the banding issue anywhere else except the battery charging indicator when charging the phone when it's turned off. And as far as I remember they were always like that.
So can someone please post a screenshot of how it should be for me to compare.
I have the same problem appeared after upgrading to Froyo. Brightness increased (even it is high in the lowest setting) and color saturation also increased. As a result, i see bandings or lines where a color gradient exist. I added an example photo from "Samsung Apps" page. You can easily see bandings on the bottom. I see such things in a PC screen if color adjustment is not optimum. So there must be a way to adjust screen saturation and brightness by a software through registry i think. It seems like a software problem. I think it is a very rare problem, i found few people on the web complaining about it. Mostly HTC Desire, which use also Samsung Amoled screen, users complaining about it.
I did everything said on forums to solve it but no way. I flashed many different roms both eclair and froyo, use a software given in HTC forums to change RGB color, changed color settings through video player etc. Nothing worked. Please help

I looked at ur pic. I honestly dont see any problem with it. What is this banding ur talking about?
Sent from my GT-I9000 using XDA App
Bottom of the screen, around "2010 Samsungs Electronics". This part should be a smooth color transition from blue to transparent but there are circular lines between colors. Is your screen the same.
Another example. The one on the phone looks white on the upper part where a color transition from dark to light black exist and there are visible lines. But normally it was looking like the other picture (taken from notebook screen) before this problem
ah on that screen i already see 8 shades of blue, most be around 4k colors .. bummer though, it's normally a software problem, doubt that a conector has come loose. (but possible if it's a pimped up composite plug with Y/Pr/Pb, .. eh still impossible cos it's getting decoded before that)

Screen filter is working pretty well, and you can reduce brightness to complete dark if you want (except the status bar). One annoying bug is that toast messages are not shown, only after disabling it ...

Tip: brightness level (from CurveFish) via Android market goes to 0% , although not completely dark but works fine.
Brightness level does indeed allow you to select 0% but when I do that, the brightness setting in the application Extended Controls" will go from 2% to 4%
so "Extended Controls" allows you to select 2% as a minimum but this would actually be -2% in "Brightness level".
I could also not see any noticable difference between these two.
Does screen filter actually reduce the brightness or does it rather change the LUT?
It looks like it's just changing the color values to a 'more black' level than reducing the actual light-output.

Lowering the lowest brightness level

Does anyone kno of an app that can lower the lowest brightness level? I tried screen filter but i dnt like the tint it uses n it kinda distorts the quality of images and videos shown. I tried googling stll no luck. The lowest brightness level is still brite at nite.....
Have you tried turning off the Auto brightness feature and then manually reducing the brightness in the display options?
If you turn off Auto Brightness in your Display Settings, you can run your finger left or right along the top slide-down menu bar (the one that displays time, battery, signal, etc) to decrease or increase the screen brightness.
Srry i meant lowering the brightness lower than the lowest level limit. The screen is still to brite for me at the lowest level at nite.
App: screen filter
Sent from my GT-I9000 using XDA App
Use this software from Android Market,
https://market.android.com/details?id=com.curvefish.widgets.brightnesslevel&feature=search_result
Android Os will report you zero brightness when you change it in settings, but still it has 8% brightness enabled, so the above software will help you to pulling it back to original 0%
Even better than that, I remember supercurio (iirc, or was it hardcore?) hacked the SGS kernel to enable to an even lower brightness setting ages ago. However I haven't seen this hack integrated into any kernels for ages (unless I'm missing something and it's already there)
Hardcore's Speedmod K13E kernel for 2.2.1 has a super low brightness level
Try the dimmer app, it is better than screen filter, not as grainy.

I'm sorry to bring this up again...
I'm testing out the last build teamhacksung's CM9 and it came with a bunch of options to optimize the brightness.
Although I've been experimenting on this options for quite a while, the brightness is very irregular. At one moment is very dark and for no reason the brightness comes back up while I'm in total darkness.
Do you have any idea of what's causing this?
I get this as well. Also, the screen will auto-dim after a short time of inactivity. How to control this?

Also, I have a friend with the same software as me, everything the same and his Galaxy S gets much darker than mine. Even when we have them side by side.
Try Semaphore's kernel on THS ICS. It has its own auto brightness that works well and has a Dark setting.
That said, I still use screen filter on top of that in darkness.

Semaphore's kernel disables the BLN for me.
What I did was...
In the definitions put the dim level to 6. And then I added a button in the notification bar for brightness and I gave it the automatic and dim options.
That way when I'm inside doors I put it to dim and when I'm outside I change it to automatic.

[SOLVED] Xperia T - screen dimming

Hi, I love my Xperia T but there is one thing that bothers me. I noticed that every xperia T has that automatic screen dimming when viewing darker media on your screen. For example, when i turn on facebook app, before the actual app opens there is dark grey screen. During that sequence screen gets darker, and when white facebook page pops up you can actually see screen adjusting its brightness to higher "normal" level. That really bothers me especially when gaming. On dark sequences screen gets really dark, and than it takes second or two to adjust normal brightness when brighter sequences appear. You can actually see brightness going down when darker images are displayed, and then back up again when brighter images appear.
So I'm not talking about dimming when overheating or flickering (that second is fixed by jellybean update as I noticed), or etc. And before you ask me I if turned on autobrightness in display settings, it has nothing to do with that.
My question is, is there a way to turn this off because it is really annoying?

All i thought it differs to auto brightness thats why i ask it sir. Sorry for the question then
You dont have to apologise. So, the problem is that when you watch darker images, or videos, or just any darker screen on your display, contrast and brightness goes down. And when you switch to brighter screen you can actually see, with your naked eye, brightnes going up. I see that Sony intentionally put that feature, but it is very, very stupid one. There is no point in making dark images even darker with even less contrast. I assume they wanted to achieve better black levels that way, or I don't know, but it is very stupid way of doing black levels more black. And, of course, there is no setting in settings menu tu turn this nonsense off, nice one Sony!

This similar annoying ass feature is there in my Spectre laptop. This was supposed to be a battery saving feature and I haven't yet found a way to turn it off. Maybe it's also a way to get higher black levels.

Dude, this is definitely not a battery saving mode. There is no need for batery saving mode when displaying dark screen, and the problem occurs when displaying dark images or any other dark media, app or non-app. every single time.

OMG... Mobile bravia engine has apsolutely nothing to do with with that, because bravia engine works only in phones stock apps for viewing videos and pictures, and the effect is not even similiar to screen dimming. It brings more saturated colors and that is all.
Same problem is posted here: http://communities.sonyericsson.com/thread/61560?start=0&tstart=0 and Sony replied "I'm sorry that it has taken so long but I have done some testing now using a later software and I'm not able to replicate the issue that you guys report so I assume it's fixed." It is more than obvious that they like to close their eyes on every single problem that occurs. Thank you Sony for your gorgeous support to your beloved customers. I cant be more sarcastic, of course.

I know my T-Rex wery well, and I know there is no "normal" way to turn this dimming crap off, so I posted my question here, and expected that someone of the experts would offer some kind of solution to that. And I got things like "turn automatic brightness off", or "turn mobile bravia engine off" even though I previously mentioned that i tried all that stuff. People are "trying" to "help" me here, and they didn't even read what I've written.

Thank you guys very much! Changed values, and rebooting my phone...everything is fine now, no more stupid dimming. However...I noticed that color adjusment is still visible when changing from dark screen to colorfull bright one. So the dimming is now definitely gone, but that color adjusment is still visible, like it changes contrast a bit, from worse to better, it is clearly visible. Any ideas about that?
I'm uploading a video I recorded with my webcam to get you a closer look. I'll post a link once it's uploaded.
Video will be live here in a couple of minutes: http://youtu.be/fHozO8zGZ1Y
After I managed to turn off DLS, that auto-contrast thing still remains. If you look closely, you'll se that the blue facebook stripe (and everything else) slightly changes its color/contrast when returning from the gray screen. But DLS was much bigger pain in the ass and I'm very pleased with the result od turning it off.
