Hi,
My Screen Dims on low battery, even when Power saver is turned off. This behaviour shows since update to 4.1.
The integrated Power Saver is set to :
Turn Power saver on : at 50% battery level
Brightness : 50% Brigtness
Powersaver : OFF
But still when 5% Battery is reached, the screen goes totally dark.
So dark I cannot read it most of the time. I have to use my hand to cover for shadow, set the brightness up, and then I can use my phone again. This makes toe phone unusable when battery is low.
I hate this behaviour and would like to disable this.
How do I disable it ?
As mentioned, this was not the case with Android 4.0.3 (stock, rooted), it happens since I updated to 4.1.2 (stock, rooted)
The intuitive place to look ws the power saver, but those settings seem not to change anything.
I have searched the net and these forums, but could not find a place where to correct this settings.
I would like the screen to remain it's last setting, not dim at all.
Please help.
You didn't set the brightness to auto, did you? Because this is maybe the cause of dimming. I'm not sure but that's my first thought.

Nope, tried both, auto and non-auto, in both cases when the 5% battery warning comes, screen is set to lowest possible level automatically, even in bright sunlight outside. In winter maybe, but in summer it suxx. Some automatic adjustment according to ambient light -might- be ok, but I would prefer that the backlight level is not changed at all.
Are you on stock? Or any custom rom?
I think you can maybe change this setting in build.prop or smth similar,
but I'm not that good when it comes to this.

As I said in the first post, I use stock rom.
I have now looked through build.prop file. There is a " #Backlight " section, in there is some " ro.lge.lcd_default_brightness=146 " entry. I will change it and see what happens when I hit 5% battery. But since there is no other setting (like when battery below 5%) this does not look very promising..
Does your P880 show the same behaviour ?
It actually did the same when I was on stock (now I'm on WerewolfJB) but it didn't bother me back then (almost never got my phone below 5% battery.
And because I'm not on stock I can not look for the right line in build.prop or other system config files.

So there is no "OFF" in the powersaver, it defaults to some weird settings when switched "OFF" ?
I will try that too.

^works!
but for me after i lock the screen and un-lock im back at screen min, i had to re-open rootdim each time and set it. even the "lock" feature doesnt seem to overthrow the system 5% batt life force dim. annoying but at least rootdim works, even if i do have to open it each time
disable low battery dim

thanks the root dim it does work, you have no idea how long i search for this.Funny thing i came across this root app like 5 or 6 times and didn't think it would work cause i have lux dim the other root app and that one does bring the display back to 100 percent bright who would thought that the fix was this simple and yes like you say every time you lock the device it brings you back to dim mode but if you open the app and bring the slider all the way up it stays like that at 100 brightness, done that on my rooted galaxy s4 from cricket it works yey.
I use the Nexus 7 (running lollipop) in the car, with torque.
I have setted up the "stay awake" option when charging in the devs options.
When I turn the car off, the tablet should go to sleep in the shortest delay possible, so I set the screen timout to 15 seconds.
Only problem is that the screen "dims" automatically after a couple of seconds. Even if I set the screen timout to 30 mins. it still dims after 30 min., which is more than anoying.
Is there an option I could change or a command I could use to disable the dimming alltogether?
Thanks!
Well, nevermind, Got tasker and rooted the devices, I didn't want to "pay" for it, but this app is well worth it!
I am using using Oxygen OS 4.1.3 with stock recovery.
I have noticed that my device does not go into sleep mode even though I've set the timeout to be as low as 15 seconds. I tried restarting and that helped as the device started going into sleep when it was not charging. However, when it was charging, the backlight dimmed but the screen didn't turn off after a few minutes of staying. Moreover, I was up finding my device being awake sometimes. Personally I think it's the notifications that turn the screen on like Snapchat but then since the device has issues of going back to sleep, it remains on. Only for me to wake up and see that 40% of the battery has been dropped.
*#99# Enable/disable screen always on ???
So I have an annoyance that I was hoping someone has a fix for. I'm using a wireless charger, Samsung Duo, to charge my phone and S3 at night. When my alarm goes off in the morning and I swipe to shut it off my screen goes to MAXIMUM BRIGHTNESS. This is on the lock screen and it eventually times out. But when I take the phone off the charger, it again goes to MAXIMUM BRIGHTNESS. I'm not kidding when I say it lights up the entire bedroom like a swat helicopter is outside my window with a spotlight! Is this a bug or is there a setting I'm missing?!

Set Auto brightness on a schedule - or - set blue light filter on a schedule - auto does indeed do some unusual stuff.

So it's just the lock screen. As soon as I unlock the phone the screen goes to auto-brightness.
Hi, I would like to know if you too when I turn on the screen is as if it refreshes before turning on.
And the same thing when I turn off the screen and turn on the always on display it refreshes the brightness of luminosty the hour before decreasing intensity.
Thanks
Factory reset fixed this for me. Out of the box, it did not fair well and I noticed this after a day of use.
I'm on day 9 of the reset (recovery side), and it is going well.
