How to Keep the brightness always minimum?

Despite doing this manually in the settings, occasionally the brightness goes up due to unknowns. Is there a way to keep the brightness always low?

If you swipe along the notification bar at the top you can increase or decrease the screen brightness.

"it's a feature not a bug"
i hated it myself till i read somewhere that (only if you deactivate auto-brightness) you can increase/decrease the brightness by swiping left/right on your notification panel! it happens often by mistake when you pull it down ... thats your problem
in the new froyo rom's this is no longer the case so now i use auto-mode and wait will this "feature" is no more
edit: Intratech...too fast

I never noticed this actually.. Also ensure though in the browser you have set brightness manually there

have the same problem, but i find the auto brigthness setting saves my battery more rather than accidentally turning it maximum brightness

I tried the "Dimmer" and "Brightness!" apps from the market. But none of them 'Keep' the brightness at the minimum always.

I've noticed 3 places where the brightness can be set - 1st being the web browser, 2nd the actual settings option, and 3rd the video player. Currently, I disabled the auto brightness control and I've set all 3 places to 1 step above minimum. Seems to work for me.
Also, I have a widget on the home screen to set/monitor the brightness level, it's called 'Brightness Widget by Stark Technology Inc.'.

Auto-brightness sucks! Any fixes?

I find that the auto-brightness on our phone doesn't reduce to the minimum possible! Is there a setting I'm not seeing?
I always use the widget to control it because it can take it much lower than the auto brightness does.
...so are there any fixes, or would we need a custom kernel to be able do that?

Auto brightness is just very inefficient. I've been using manual brightness on this and my previous phone for a long time. You could use an app such as Screen Filter which reduces the brightness, but it seems to make the colours look a bit washed out to me.
With regards to a custom ROM or kernel, I have no idea whether this would help, but I've never seen changes to the auto brightness function on any previous custom ROM I've ever used.

From what i know, You would need a custom Kernel.. try getting ' My Settings ' From market ... gives as much control as possible to ur stock ROM for screen brightness as possible along with a host of other useful toggles.
Be sure to add a SHORTCUT onto ur home screenm for easy access
it has improved my battery life quite a bit !

I don't understand how they could screw up such a simple thing!
I'm running froyo... does gingerbread fix the auto brightness?

screen too bright

hello my s5 mini, when exposed to sun for example, automatically increases the screen brightness...altought so much bright that even the colors became strange. anyway, since i am rooted, to change the maximum brightness allowed in auto mode?

I've just read an article pointing out this weird thing:
http://www.androidcentral.com/samsung-galaxy-s5-mini-review
I've just tested this on my S5 mini, wow! I see what they mean by colours going psychedelic.
I don't think you have any control at all under Auto Brightness. You'd have to switch Auto Brightness off then slide the brightness to Max.

maybe some moding?

Maybe this is due to a feature named "Adjust Display". Go to Settings > Screen > Screen Mode. By default, it's set to Adjust Display, so the screen will automatically change its colors depending on ambient lightning.

Lower minimum brightness

On my Note 3 I used an xposed module to give me the option of lowering the screen brightness right down to the minimum that it drops you to when you use the power saving mode. That was one of the modules I was looking for when I moved up to the Note 4 but there's nothing coming up.
I don't want to just use a screen filter, I was looking at something that would enable me to actually lower the brightness right down. Any suggestions? (I'm rooted and running stock MM with Xposed)

Cheers, I had a look at it and it's like a lot of the apps I've seen, it adds a lot of stuff I dont need. Ideally all I want is the ability to drop the brightness lower using the factory slider, not having to mess around with an external app.
I tried it but once it's installed it removes the factory slider when you remove notifications , which is a tad annoying!

It also doesn't go as far as the setting you get when you use the "power saving" mode on my Note 4. You could reduce the contrast but that's effectively just working like one of the screen filter apps. Hmm.

I've noticed it with Dolphin browser as well, must be some kind of battery saver implemented by Huawei. Never found any setting switch to turn it off though. Odd I would say, but doesn't bother me that much.

When batterymanager is set to smart it does that.
Put it om performance and it does not go dim.
