So I'm so sick of going back into settings everytime to change the brightness
Whenever I try to use brightness widget or PowerManagerPro Freaking OS changes the brightness back to what it was right away.
So every time I go outside I have to go to settings to turn up brightness cuz I can't see shot especially with screen protector and other way around or especially at nigh when driving and trying to look at the GPS and its just too damn bright.
There got to be a way to get powermangerpro or brightness widget to work on hero, its a such a pain in the ass plus it will save the batt too.
So how can that b fixed?

Does anyone else notice that even on the lowest setting the screen is still really bright? Does a program exist or can someone program one to dim the screen further for use in the dark? Thanks

There are a number of programs in the market that will allow fine tuning. Power Manager, Toggle Switch, etc.

Your answer was even less relevant than mine and I thought I was going on a tangent. At least my idea would in theory work.
Power Mgr won't make it any less bright than the phone currently allows and how would toggle switches do anything for the brightness? lol

Well... Toggle Settings (sorry I called it switch before...) shows %'s, and allows you to set it the brightness from the app. it doesn't let you set it below 0% though (might be a nice feature...)
Power Manager allows you to set the brightness and to save 'profiles' eg. "night time' with the settings you want.
At least my answer had two apps that allow you to change the display brightness... goof

I found a program called aSettings that will allow you to set maybe 5% lower than the stock Settings program. However, this screen is still way too bright when using in the dark.

I set the aSettings to "0" and checked in Toggle Settings (for reference). TS reports display brightness at -4%. Seems there may be hope if we get one of the programmers to tweak things a little more.

Always have had auto brightness on, it works for me.
But, after adding the 'power' widget to the homescreen (which can control brightness settings) and fooling with the brightness a few times, i decided i wanted it set back to auto.
Went into the menus, and there is no tick box for auto anymore, in the brightness setting. Just the slider.
Took the widget off the homescreen, no change. Rebooted, still no change.
What gives?? Anyone else have this happen?

EDIT: Solved problem. Was the LCD density, i guess it squashed the box and hid the setting.
the widgets on screens, usually cycles through the different modes
just keep cycling until you get it back
or simply go into Settings > Display > Brightness (make sure check mark is green)
That's the thing though - there is no check box anymore!!
Very curious as to how a system setting could just disappear like that.
Settings - display - brightness and there it is just above the slider on the lrft ?
Is here for me and I also have the brightness widget.

i think it might be JM5 firmware you are using
i'm using the official JH2
I can't help with the problem, but I can say that I'm running JM5 and have the "Automatic brightness adjustment" checkbox in the "Sound and display" settings.

wow, that makes it even more weird and intriguing....
how did the [OP] managed to lose that check box?
Wish i knew. And i want it back! Pretty sure all i did was add the 'power' widget, play with it for a bit, and it was gone.
I am quite certain it was working right after the JM5 flash, although to be completely honest i did not actually check. If it wasn't working i think i would have noticed rather quickly, its pretty obvious when its doing its job.
Added screenshots for the skeptics.
i'm not skeptic, i just can't figure out how can it has dissapeared on its own, yet i can't figure out which software could do something like that.
seems like worse case scenario is to reflash the ROM again to get it back
Was it there after you changed your font? Try the stock one.
Alright, i figured it out. Might add this over in the pertinent thread, too.
It was the LCD density setting. I guess it squashed the box down so much that the check box was entirely hidden! Man, what an odd problem.
Thanks for the help!
Wow, thanks for sharing
this is something worth being Noted on the Wiki
anyone got time to make an entry?
No problem, i'd add it myself if i knew where to put it...?
Thanks for posting the solution! I ran into the same problem and i was perplexed as to what happened.

@ancilary:
I made the test now and for me this solution worked perfectly:
If you go to an absolutely dark room and stay there for some minutes (until your eyes get very usual with that) you'll see your screen. Very darker, but you'll see. Swipe down the notification bar, click the app icon, and adjust the brightness. Now you can uninstall it (or use it in a happier way).
I seem to remember reading something about this, but I can't seem to find it anymore. is there any way to disable the screen off volume press turn on the music player "feature"? I'm tired of turning off my screen and setting down my phone and having to pick it back up again right away to turn it back off.

What ROM are you running? I know Sense 6 Toolbox has a toggle for that.

Nuisense 6. I'll take a look again, but it seemed like the tool box only would enable starting something, it wouldn't disable something that the ROM included by default.

It did once but I can't remember what so it's worth a shot. I think it's a build prop edit, but I'm not currently running that ROM. Calling @gruesomewolf since he's the one who would know exactly what you could edit if it's user editable.
I prefer manual brightness setting. My CLT109 keeps reverting to automatic brightness. It appears to happen after a restart and maybe when opening a browser. I use Chrome.
Does a know of a workaround without routing?
install quickshortcut apps, in the apps type "battery" , choose setting, choose any shorrcut that has"Powerusagesummary", click "try"
you will be directed to the battery usage , in that area you will find ADAPTIVE BRIGHTNESS...turn it off
then go to automatic brightness in setting and untick it
remember you will need to do this everytime you reboot the phone
hit thanks if this help

Hi, can I ask you a question? If you set the manual brightness, for example to 70%, when opening chrome or Gmail or Facebook, note that it is lowered?

Hi. Yeah. I might have to change my OP. I notice it when I open an app. But I think it's only happening after a restart.

It always happens to me, if I set the manual brightness and open Facebook or Gmail after a while known a change of light, it goes down. If I return to the home, he gets up

Yes, the brightness is set as manual but behaves as if it were automatic

So is it standard behaviour that on reboot it reverts to automatic?
Fix brightness dim in certain aps
Enable developer options and set animation duration scale to 0.5 mine worked that and have custom brightness and no longer auto dimming.

But does this process also work using automatic brightness? Because I have the problem of brightness that goes down in some Apps like Facebook or Chrome
I have similar problem. I want to be automatic as I had with all my android phones before.
But mate 20 pro is a way to agressive. I allways have to correct brightness to +.
