Hey guys,
I was just wondering why it is that my auto brightness won't reach te max level...
I'm running fr17 right now but the problem was the same on all the custom roms I've tried....
Any ideas?
Thanks!
nobody with the same issue?
I have the same problem, i also think that the brightness is not low enought at night
Same here. Too bright at night, not bright enough in sunlight
Sent from my Optimus 2X using XDA App
same here aswell
yeah, it won't go just till 70-80% I believe, even in direct sunlight...
solution:
use brightness level widget, set it around 35% when indoor, and just put it to 100% when you go out... i know it's not automatic, but still better than going to settings, since this is just 2 taps
for me these settings are perfect, battery is great
Someone should try to re-calibrate the sensor and add that to cyanogenmod or release a patch for it. Kinda weird that they made it this way...

Unlike in 2.1, when im in full sunlight 2.2 doesnt go to full brightness so i have to take it off AB and set it to max to see the screen, Also at night with zero light it does not go to minimum brightness. Some people have said that they believe in 2.2 the max brightness has increased so i thought maybe thats why it doesnt max out automatically (maybe it goes to what the max was in 2.1 which was nearly visible outside) but the level it auto-sets in full sunlight leaves the screen not visible so either the max brightness has not increased or else the auto brightness has been altered (poorly)
Has anyone else noticed this and do you think that its attributable to it being the test version?
I also noticed that pressing the touchscreen, particularly in the browser takes a couple presses to activate a link. Im hoping this is due to the test version and not flash, i like having flash on (not on-demand) and i dont mind waiting a few extra seconds for the entire page to load, i just hope it isnt messing with the browser ui.
Again this could and probably will all be fine when the official version rolls out im just looking for some input...

I'm on 2.1 and I have found that the automatic brightness is nowhere near as bright in bright sunlight as setting brightness to 100% manually..
Hello everyone
I just got the Samsung I9000 Galaxy S yesterday and my worst nightmare has come true. I have sensitive eyes and keep brightness on all my equipment at the lowest level. I had asked someone before buying this phone and he told that it is manageable but now I find out that the screen is way toooo bright even at the lowest setting!
It strains the eyes + drains the battery.
Suppose we are not connected to internet through any source. Then if we refresh any widget we get the error "Please check your network access" and the screen goes dull in background. Now thats the perfect setting I would like for the phone.
Any idea how we can reduce the brightness even further through Mod or through factory settings or somehow?
I would really appreciate any help on this one.
Regards.

Bright on 35% level is correct.

Try fiddling with your phone in the morning, just as you've woken up. It works as a nice wake upper though. .
Android default min brightness is 8% (even though it reads 0%).
Two apps that give you less than 8%, both goes to 0% :
- Brightness Level by CurveFish
- Dimmer (Night Mode) by geekyouup
Also, look into changing your background color to black, it'll save you battery and be easier on your eyes. Lastly, the browser has its own brightness setting, found by hitting menu > settings.
Alternatively, only use under direct sunlight.

Thanks. I would try the dimmer and see if 0% helps somewhat though I have read that its only marginally better.
I am hoping that there should be a way to reduce it somehow since it gets reduced when we see some error just like I mentioned in 1st post.
I agree even at the lowest level its way to bright.
I have the curvefish brightness app, but even set to 0 its too bright for use in the darkness.

I've actually written that it's only a marginal improvement, but I omitted that opinion here since I think my opinion is less applicable to someone with sensitive eyes. You might perceive a 3x decrease than what I did, not sure if that'd still be enough.
Again, I think changing to a dark background will get you more mileage, if you haven't already done so.

Currently I am using a relatively black background but when surfing most webpages have white background and that really is painful! I guess I may have to look for some tinted screen protector!
i know this may sound strange, but If I wear my sunglasses at night while browsing it works quite well
You can also use tasker for lower brightness levels..
Sunglasses.

I am currently using "Dimmer". It takes the brightness levels from 30% (Though in settings it show minimum only) to 10%. I have also tried "Quick settings" so I guess tasker would perform the same function.
When we have locked our screen and we have to unlock we have to slide the screen. When we do that it seems like we have to slide a transparent layer of glass which is quite dark.
Now I am no developer but is it technically possible to create an app which is like a layer of tinted glass on screen so that it dims the screen further?
Regards
I haven't tried the dimmer apps yet but I DO agree that I miss my iPhone which can be set to a much lower brightness level for better privacy, night vision, "before sleep reading".
but I think it has something to do with the display technology. The OLED for Samsung may not permit such low levels or so. I am not sure...

At first even I thought that and I was worried about that. But there are some times for example when you get some error on the screen the major part of screen goes quite dull so it is indeed possible to do that technically I guess just that it cant be done through brightness.
I am baffled why did the Samsung/Android guys set lower level of brightness as option also. It would have cost them nothing and would have saved us a lot of strain and battery life.
PS: Is this the issue with Android or Samsung?
To someone with a bit more knowledge: how hard would this be to do something about? We all know the screen dims to a level that's not for the moment available to manually set some time before it shuts off, so it's got to be a way.
The screen is just too bright for me at the lowest setting - meaning it hurts me eyes (some pity here Samsung) and consuming a lot more battery than it needs to.
+1 for the app that will do this
got me new galaxy s for a couple of weeks now.. but really miss my old htc hd... the minimum backlight setting was awesome for nighttime reading/browsing.
switching on the sammy in bed in the week hours of the night makes my eyes burn! hehe.
an app to force lower or add a filter over the entire screen would be awesome!
samsung galaxy s has a SUPER AMOLED display which is why its bright even at lowest level.

Well I dont know for sure. The device has been working same since the 1st day. I guess its just that the brightness is too much for me. As far as the screen is concerned I didnt notice anything significant but any easy way to check about the problem?
Regards.
A few days ago I started to use the Automatic Brightness, but it doesn't worked very well...
When I am in bright area , the brightness increases, but when I leave the area or cover the brightess sensor, the bright the screen should change his intensity, but he remains the same, at high brightness. The brightness decreases and becomes what it should be according to automatic mode only after lock-unlock screen.
Anyone can help me?
I think the sensor dont have problem.
I think if you check the option "Display -> Brightness -> shade bright screens" (or somethink similar to that, i have to translate) it could make it work properly. A broken brightness sensor doesn't control anything anymore, my old DHD had one.
i think its a software problem
Same problem on my razr i
But on some razr HD, there isthe same problem. Maybe the software version....
I use "custom auto brightness" apk on market, and work great for increase AND decrease brightness.
For information, same problem with JB 4.1.2 update...
Anyone have the same problem and a real solution ?

Thanks this app worked very fine!

Just use the app lux auto, my brightness sensor was working ok but it always too much bright wasting battery, after installing lux auto and understanding how it works i have to say its perfect now!
Well I have a question.
Is it possible that the display is quite dimm even under direct sunlight and auto mode?
My gfs iPhone 12 pro max got a way brighter screen.
I'm really honest the longer I'm using this device the more unimpressed I am.
It's already dimmer than every flagship right now and it's even dimming more while gaming...
I really don't know what to think about this mobile anymore. So much which leaks way behind my expectations...
Anyone who got similar thoughts maybe?
Best regards
Turn auto brightness of and enable the following:
Settings -> Display -> Brightness Level -> Sunlight Mode on
Does it work?
Hello, thx for your reply. Already did this but seems like it's not working it's still dim. I also have lots of dust in the camera, I think I need to replace it with another one...
Hello, 3 days ago I bought oppo x3 pro. Phone is awesome, but auto brightness works very bad... It keep decreasing screen brightness to very low level.
I never seen something like that, Samsung S20 works much better, well, even realme x50 works normal. To use phone I had to disable auto brightness. Is there anything like adaptive screen brightness, I read somewhere that samsung by the time learn my preferences, and keep good brightness. Tired this with oppo for 3 days, but seems it doesn't have that option.

If it is the same mechanism as in OnePlus (not sure about it) - then the phone will "learn" after you manually set the brightness to proper level. Give it 2 weeks.
Btw. Rydzyk in avatar, hope youre not the real one
Real Tadeusz here
I was teaching for 3 days, but without success. Will try for a week now
thanks
Try clearing system cache and data in the relevant apks.
Test the light level sensor to see if it falls within an acceptable range.
I use manual brightness control almost always; doing so saves battery, retinas and sanity.
It also reminds you when it's too bright and your frying your display.
Same here. Helped me out with Lux Brightness and set the minimum brightness to 30. Works fine for me.
To me in Realme 8 it seems to have learn a minimum value for auto brightness instantly, I just set a minimum a little above of the default level (It was very low), and the phone remember that level onwards
well, mine surely isn't 'learning', it keeps defaulting to the lowest value, which is waaay to low.
Are there any alternatives to Lux Brightness that you know off?

What happens to me is that the default auto brightness deactivates itself when it wants, and reactivates also when it wants, very annoying. So I deactivated manually the auto brightness and tried Velis Auto Brightness, this app is a little complicated but works quite well, just you have first to understand the app itself and then tweak a little to your convenience. It has a little bug in Android 11, the notification of lux and % of brightness screen disappears after some time but doesn't affect the app itself.
