[Q] brightness help

is there any way to tweak my brightness up any help
to make it brighter you mean ?? the AMOLED screen is really bright why would you want it brighter ??
go into settings > display > brightness > make sure automatic brightness is off and brightness is set to the max..
also if you are using the latest speedmod kernel that has option in to tweak the brightness. if you have it go into recovery and check all tweaks are off ..
other than that i dont think there is much more you can do.

Screen very low brightness is jb internet browser

Whenever i open my internet browser and email app, the brightness become very dim as if theres a screen filter.
Anyone have any idea why is this happening or this is a known issue on jb rom?
But when i take screenshot it doesnt show dim.
I'm on ultimate rom v5
EDIT : silly me. Found what is causing it. Is the power saving mode

If it is stock browser,then u can increase the brightness in the browser options
how can i get that brightnes non stop?..i like that dim of display(battery life wise ) , but is it filter or actual brightnes level ?
Did you read previous two posts? Power save or set brightness manually in browser settings. There is also brightness settings(auto/manual) for system screen brightness.

Ambient brightness level

Hi. Does anyone know a way to adjust the ambient brightness level for the always on mode?

The only solution I could find is to use a watch face that has a grey filter on top (of some sort).
Try the "crono watch face" from play (freeware) to see what I'm talking about.
you can recreate that behaviour in WatchMaker or Facer as well:
add a topmost 1px black image spanned to full screen and visilble only in dimmed mode
using opacity you can then change the brightness
you can even go ahead and have it adjusted automatically based on current hour or sunrise/sunset

Can you explain which math can I use?
Thanks!

ciao dettofatto
in watchmaker, I use the attached image scaled to 512x512px as the topmost layer and with the following forumla in the opacity field:
{dh23} > 18 and 50 or {dh23} < 7 and 50 or 0
red indicates the time in which to apply the filter (in my case between 19:00 and 07:00)
and blue how much the screen will be dimmed (higher number = darker screen)
I have the layer visible only in dim mode, so the watch won't be dimmed when active
of course, this only affects the watchface, not notifications or anything else
Im using the awesome A45 watch face, can adjust ambient light to whatever you like
I use brightness display for wear.
Brightness in fonction of time, position and activity

I use the "SWApp True Dark" app. The levels (normal & ambient) are set on the watch after running the app there. There's a function to set the app on/off using slide but that can be disabled.

Is auto brightness working good ?

I seach many threads but in my case it works but I have a probleme for having the REAL auto brightness with my Z3C.
I mean... If I disable the auto brightness in display settings an put the maximum brigtness it's very high, and when I check the auto brightness and put the brightness (notification bar) to maximum and switch between auto and not auto... YES there is a difference, the auto mode is less bright, so yes the auto brightness option works because i see a difference... I gess
BUT... at night when the room is COMPLETLY dark (yes because I sleep in the dark lol) the brightness is very bright for me, too bright. And I go to the notification bar and put it at less... but wait! This not my definition of "auto brightness" if I have to manage it. For me (maybe I'm weird, tell me) if auto brightness is enabled, when the light sensor see a COMPLETE DARK room the brightness should be at minimum, am I right???
And, with all my previous smartphones, the auto mode was with the brightness bar in notifications bar and if I check the auto mode, the brightness setting bar is desabled... and if I setup the brighness bar, the auto brightness check is disabled... etc
So why my Z3C haven't an real auto brightness? Why can I enable the option in settings but set the brightness bar too? Why in a complete dark the brightness is too high and not at minimum? Because in the morning in the dark if I set it at minimum, later I have to set it more bright because it's too low at the day ligh... BUT I'M IN AUTO MODE IN THE DISPLAY SETTINGS!!!
It's like I have the auto mode and the right to set the brightness too... not logic! If I check the auto mode it's because I don't want to setup brighness bet the device must do it for me like my others phones...
Is it normal?
Thank you for help...
Its normal, auto brightness on the Z3 has a very narrow range of auto adjustment. So exactly like you are saying its either too bright at night or too dark in bright light. Do yourself a favor and use the app LUX, I think there is a free version to try. My auto brightness now works as it should, bright enough to read in sunlight and dim at night so I'm not blinded. You can tweak the values for every type of.light you are in, works great.
Do you have Lollipop on your phone?
Do you know that in Lollipop there is no Auto-Brightness anymore, there's "Adaptive Brightness", and it scales less, which explains your experience (and you're not the only one)?

It's was called something with "adaptive" in Kitkat, too.
You can just set the slider to the minimum, then it won't be too bright in the dark and it'll get bright enough in sunlight...

Auto brightness with 5.1.1

When I got my TAB S2 it was with 5.0.2 and I was able to increase or decrease how auto brightness works with a slider in notification tray. After flashing T710XXU2BOJ1 (5.1.1) if I use the slider with auto brightness turned on it will turn off the auto brightness This is a bit annoying because I like to use auto brightness and now can correct it if it's not doing a good job :/ Is this a 5.1.1 feature or a bug and I should do a factory reset?
P.S. If I do a factory reset on rooted firmware will I loose root ?
Ok, to answer my question it's a bad feature off 5.1.1. Will have to do for now, maybe 6.0.1 some day will fix it

The whole point of auto brightness is just that "auto" the slider is disabled because the OS adjusts the brightness based on the light in the enviroinment.
If you are in a dark room it will dim, outside it will go bright. If you move the slider the device assumes you then want to use manual brightness and disables the auto brightness and then adjusts the brightness of the screen based on where the slider is positioned.
This is the way Samsung devices work. (I have had several over the years and currently have a Note 4, a Tab S 8.4, and this Tab S2)
How are you expecting the slider to function when auto brightness enabled?
The slider is suppose to be for manual brightness.
The auto brightness slider still allows for manual adjustment on 5.0.2.
-5 to +5 to set the level to your liking whilst still maintaining auto brightness mode.

Exactly, any way I could have this with 5.1.1? Maybe some xposed module?

I think I recall there being some form of auto brightness audjustment fix in the downloadable modules. I can't link you as I don't have it installed currently.
Couldn't find it ?
