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.'.

its a bug in ddjf3 try a different rom. maybe jg5 or jm2.
Has anyone else noticed their D3 on stock ROM min brightness is 11%? I noticed since getting my D3 that it has always been pretty bright, even at min brightness level. And using the brightness toggle from Beautiful Widgets, I saw that the two options were 11% and 100%. Is this just the widget, or is the stock ROM set up to keep brightness at this minimum level?
I use my phone in the dark a lot and it kills my eyes to look at it for too long, so I'm wondering if anyone knows how to get the brightness down any lower without switching to a custom ROM. I am rooted, of course.
Thanks for any ideas/solutions.

Brightness Widget Backlight, in the market should work. It's has configurable steps that can go down to 1%. I'm using it on CM7 and can get it lower than the lowest brightness setting.
You can lower it with Quick Settings, but a reboot changes it back. The lower brightness appears to be used when the display dims from inactivity. If you are already on the lowest factory brightness setting it can still dim some more. Thats the only purpose I see of it.
I use Brightness Level from the market and it allows you to go lower than stock does. I believe that it keeps settings after reboot as well.
Sweet, awesome replies.
Lookup screen filter, and should be on the market if I remember correctly.

I just installed and tried Brightness Level and it doesn't allow brightness levels to go below the lowest stock level. I see no purpose to that widget since the Power Widget for android allows brightness level adjustment.
I'd love something that allows for true adjustment from 1% to 100% on the stock ROM.

Screen filter rocks - been using it since I got my D3 back in November.
anyone know of a way to get the HTCONE/sprint non-rooted phone to go lower in display brightness?
if i use it as an alarm clock on my nightstand it lights up the entire room on lowest brightness.
thanks!

Look for an app called "Lux Auto Brightness" on the Play Store. There is a lite version that you can try out. It's allowed me to go in the negative brightness and it works pretty well.

thanks. don't suppose this will work with locale...
maybe i'll have to write my own pluggin
I haven't used Lux but I really like Screen Filter for the same job: it has a huge range of dimming up to total blackness and can turn off the capacitative button backlight (requires turning the screen off and back on) which is a big deal when viewing a dimmed screen in a dark room. And the full version is free and ad-free as well.
thanks again for your replies. looks like Lux works with locale.
but... it's not quite working for me yet (setting to negative values of brighness at certain times, etc doesn't seem to work)
i'll keep trying. thankfully there is a trial version
Hi,
Not sure where the correct place is for this, so thought that I'd put it here.
I am looking for an app that controls brightness. I like the brightness of my phones to be dialed down to around 40%. I find it most comfortable for my eyes. Yet when it is bright out, I need to make the screen brighter. This means that I need to go in and manually adjust the brightness. I don't like to have the phone set to automatically adjust the brightness.
I'd like to find an app that allows adjusting brightness by icon. I don't want one that has one icon that toggles through a bunch of preset brightness levels. Instead, I want an app that can have different icons for different brightness levels. That way, if I wanted to toggle the brightness to 60%, I could tap an icon that does that. Then I could have an icon set for 30% to set it back.
Anyone know of an app that does this?

Lux, if properly configured, could do that for you.
I think I understand what you're going for. I use Power Toggles (Dev: Painless Apps), and one of the toggles on the widget is for brightness and I have it set to 3 settings when I touch it; 20%, 40% and 100%. It's not possible to set each new brightness widget for individual brightness presets, unfortunately, but I don't see how it would be difficult to just make some predetermined settings for your brightness.
By now you should have a pretty firm idea on what level of brightness you prefer throughout your day so maybe you can use this app and have 2, 3 or more presets. It's really simple to use, I have it set to 3 settings and touching the widget to get to the brightness I want at that moment is super quick and not difficult at all.
You can see in the screenshot I use the widget at the top on my home page. Brightness is among the other toggles I use on a regular basis. Much quicker to turn on and off things, IMO. It's right there on my home screen so I don't have to pull my notification window down. I hope this helps.
I just use Auto Brightness setting. I set the brightness slider at 40% and the phone will auto-adjust the screen to keep it at a relative 40 indoors and outdoors.
I think this is what you're looking for:

Hello, I have disabled adaptive brightness and when I open some apps, the screen starts automatically dimm a bit. When i exit the app, the brightness returns to normal. For example it does in Chrome, messenger, stock message app, stock dialer, youtube and many more. It does not do in Gallery, weather, camera. It's absolutely useless when im going to type in messenger and screen dimms so i can see it worse. Also i am watching youtube and screen dimms. I cannot understand what is this supposed to mean such nonsense feature.
I want to ask you if somebody of you has faced with this and if he figured it out somehow.
Ive already written to honor support , they answered nothing to the piont.
I was figuring out that when i turn adaptive brightness on, this doesnt do, the screen doesnt dimm when i open any app, but adaptive brightnes randomly fades my brightness setting after switching off the screen.
All i would like is what attributes i have to set to some app that i dont want to dimm. I cannot find this out.
Any suggestions thankfull.
"Online videos and games consume a significant amount of power and may cause your phone to heat up. As a result, your phone automatically decreases the screen brightness to prevent your phone from overheating. The brightness will return to normal when your phone cools down.
Some apps automatically adjust the screen brightness for better readability. For example, when you open Contacts or Messaging, the screen brightness is adjusted automatically even when automatic brightness is disabled."
" This function cannot be disabled"
"The screen changes color in direct sunlight.
When the ambient brightness reaches a certain level (such as direct sunlight), the screen brightness and contrast are automatically increased for better readability. This feature cannot be disabled."
Yes and this is bad. Something like answer from honor support. But also messenger goes darker and it has nothing to do with overheating. When i switch on the adaptive brightness this dimming doesnt do with any app. Also with adaptive brightness off some apps do not dim as if they'd have an exception of this. It is very bad that it cant be disabled this makes this phone completely useless for everyday use because readability goes worse when it goes darker.
Same here
Yup, I have the same. I just keep the Automatic adjustment "on" so it stopes dimming. Which is anti-intuitive. You would expect this dimming beeing caused by that Automatic setting not the opposite. Let's hope they will sort it soon.
Unfortunately its the special feature implemented in firmware called "eye care" as they replied me from honor support. It needs to tell them to switch it off at [email protected]
It seems that Velis Auto Brightness app from Google Play Store does the trick (Honor 10 Stock Pie).
Settings:
Automatic brightness: ON
track light in graph: ON
SETTINGS: (advanced):
Automatic brightness: ON
Disable system handler: ON
Start when screen turns ON: ON
Interactive notification: ON
All other settings off/default.
When you turn off the screen and turn it on, go for the first time in notification area and set your desired value in Velis.
Turn off automatic handling of this app in battery section (app start).

Check in the developer settings for the current value of "Increase readability under sunlight".

Hello, that setting in notification area really worked for me, thanks. But the slider Is in steps 66% , 73%, 80% I cannot adjust it per one % but nevermind, at last this helped me.
edit: after one day testing I noticed that it doesnt work. It still dimms the apps.

Hi, it's a pitty that it does not work.. Maybe Velis app is killed by app manager? As i wrote, try to disable any battery management for Velis app. Do you see after that 1 day Velis slider in notification area? If not, it is likely killed by system app manager.
And yes, it is true that the screen can be adjusted only bys steps.
In my case more than a week for honor 10 (EMUI 9) with Velis and still no any screen dimming issues in any app.

Velis was running but the apps start to dimm anyway I dont know what happened. Even when I set brightness in notification area in Velis, apps dimmed.
Download Lower Brightness Filter :
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=nu.lower.brightness&hl=en_US
Enable the permission and set brightness to 100%.
Then select brightness in phone to auto and restart the phone.
Then select desired brightness.
edit : it doesnt work....
Turn on Advanced visual effect.
I used to have the same problem too. Simply just go to setting>smart accessibility>accessibility>Advanced visual effect>turn on.
If it doesn't work go to developer option and make sure the window animation, transition animation and animation duration are set to 1x.
To enable the developer option, go to setting>about phone>build number>tap until it shows u are now a developer.
Hope it does help u.

Hello, I had it already turned on , in developer options I have all animations set to 1x, but it dimms the screen on my Honor Play with android 9.
Before we can fix that via ADB but now is not possible. If anyone has a better fix please share
