I was just wondering if anyone has a fix to this or anything, or if it's just an amoled problem. When I have the screen brightness turned down, all the blacks on my screen turn an ugly brown color. Is there anyway to make all blacks overall more black? Thanks

Mine look black. Just a dirty black. You sure you don't have the SLCD version of the device?

I just double checked to make sure, and it is in fact amoled. I guess what you're calling "dirty black" is what I'm talking about. Compared to my g2x lcd screen on low brightness, everything on the nexus is brown and the g2x is simply black. Its not that big of a deal but its one of those things that is annoying me lol. Is there anyway to modify this that you know of?

This doesn't sound right. My understanding of AMOLED is that blacks literally won't even light up (which is why dark backgrounds help save battery power). Each individual LED is individually lit up. If there isn't any color on the screen, it won't light up. My blacks always seem black, no matter what the brightness of the screen is.

For example, look at the status bar (gingerbread) while you change the brightness, for me as the brightness goes down, the black starts to have a slight brown color to it. Or is my screen just screwed up? Lol its not like its major, its just annoying compared to g2x

I don't notice that at all on mine. It stays as black as it was when on full brightness. Does it still happen when all the lights are off in the room?

It happens when I'm in pitch black darkness, if there's light it isn't as noticeable but its still there

Is there any way with an app like AnyCut or SQLITE to edit a field to make the screen brighter? I know this may be a longshot, but with some of the other parts of the phone being capable of manipulation, I thought I'd at least ask. I understand the drain on the battery and possible other risks, but the screen, even at 100% brightness, seems to just not be that bright..
What? I can see my screen in bright clear skies daylight.... that's a bright screen! You live on Mercury or what?
If I stand outside with my screen set to 100% and auto turned off.. I have a hard time plaing contract killer because some of the characters become extremly hard to see.. If I play it on the galaxy tab in the same conditions, the characters are easy to see.. But it is true of most things I look at on the screen.. Out and about in direct daylight, the screen just isnt as bright as it needs to be..
That has nothing to do with screen brightness. The galaxy tab is a Super Amoled screen and the Thrill is LCD. That is why Samsung phones are more visible in direct sunlight too.

It can't.

I wish mine would go dimmer. I like to keep it on auto and its usually pretty good but at night it keeps my screen way too bright. If I use the built in widget to toggle the brightness it just puts it too dim. The only way to get it to a decent dimness in the dark is to use the slider. I say the screen it too bright 90% of the time.

Now that is do-able. I'm not sure how to do it though. Cm7 has the option to adjust the auto-brightness levels based on specific light sensor values.

Just asking if anybody can reproduce this: with auto brightness turned on, if I go from a dark to bright room, brightness increases.
When I go from bright to dark room, brightness stays constant at the setting in the bright room.
On note 3, I read that it will only go from bright to dark only if the phone is less than 30 degrees tilted.
Can anybody test this out?
Mine dims like it should. You might have defective sensor or are using a poor made case
BAD ASS NOTE 4

Sensor is working properly. I'm using the samsung case.
When I use lux, it works perfectly so I'm trying to diagnose the problem.
Looks mine does same thing. Maybe there is no enough difference between both rooms. I noticed one thing. Going from dark to bright - screen brightness increases, from bright to dark - stays the same. If I turn off screen and turn on again (in darker room) it wakes up dimmer.

For some reason, if the phone is on the table and I turn the light on and off, it works perfectly. Don't know if it's by design or what.
Thanks for checking though.

Rate this thread to express how well you can see the HTC 10's display outdoors. In case you've been playing Minecraft for 18 months straight, you might not known how to get outside anymore. Well, find the door and walk through it. A higher rating indicates that it has very high maximum brightness and thus fantastic outdoor visibility in direct sunlight.
Then, drop a comment if you have anything to add!
Perfectly fine in 12258 lux of sunlight.

Seems reasonable, not as bright as an S7 but it's not an AMOLED.
The screen is most definitely very very bright in bright sunlight on "auto" setting with slider to the max. I have no issues with the brightness outdoors. Make sure to keep the "auto" setting, there is a brightness boost built in with "auto". Also, do not use Power Saver feature (I am not taking about the Extreme Power Saver mode). The Power Saver will ruin the brightness in sunlight completely and thoroughly.
Compared the 10 with my Samsung S6 at noon in direct sunlight in Tucson, AZ on June 06. Couldn't see either for ****e.

Oh, so that's why it looks so strange in direct sun light It's not looking nice with the boost, but it's very effective and helps a lot

No help for users like me whose (HTC 001) Auto brightness doesn't even work out of the box.

Mine auto brightness is also huge step back comparing to previous One's. It is too bright in the evening or at night if my slider in auto mode is at about 75%.

Use Lux Lite (can do the same)

Personally, I think max brightness on this phone isn't nearly bright enough. When I stop off at the Starbucks drive through in the morning and attempt to pay with my phone (pops a barcode on screen for the barista to scan) they always need to take my phone from me inside where it's a bit darker to scan. I have never had this issue with any other device, and never see any of the cars ahead of me having a similar issue. This is with auto brightness on and the slider all the way at max.
Remember that when you go outside, the sun is bright, you slip on your polarized sun glasses. Next time you look at the screen, it's dark.
Remember the screen is polarized as well, and not in the best orientation. Turn the phone horizontal, see if brighter again.
-Just saying this in case it is affecting some of the 'too dark' comments.-

Slightly lower than on S7 but visible enough.

Yeah, I can relate. From all the recent phones I've tested, the 10 fares the worst in direct sunlight / bright day environment... Even so, the only time I find it really annoying is when I try to take photos or shoot video. I always feel that the screen is too dark or that the photos I take are too dark. When I look at them back home, on a large PC screen, I see that the photos are ok, well-lit...

Yeah the polarization was a completely gooned up oversight in manufacture of the lcd. Could have done it 90 Deg off.

Then you can't take pictures with sunglasses on and you can't use the gps while driving with the SGs on. It goes both ways in terms of preferable polarization orientation.

Much brighter than my LG G3. I don't need to crank the brightness to 40% indoors anymore. I can keep my HTC 10 around 15-20% brightness and see it just fine indoors.

Compared to the Nexus 6P the HTC display is visible with no issues on direct sunlight. It is definitely not perfect, but I really like it.
I've been noticing occasionally that if I'm outside in direct sunlight with auto brightness enabled, my colors will wash out.
Never noticed this on the s8+ - can anyone comment on this? If my phone is bad I can swap it before it's too late. Just wanted to see if it may be possible due to the higher brightness this screen has?
Thanks!!
That's a feature to allow greater readability in direct sunlight. Normal.
