Anyone out there know how to improve the auto brightness on the One GPE? It worked great with Sense, especially on Android Revolution HD (all Sense versions), but it isn't nearly as sensitive on ARHD GPE. I have to turn it off and then all the way down manually when it's dark.
I've searched to no avail. Thanks for any input.

Use something like lux auto brightness, it works flawlessly.

I might go that route. I was hoping there was some sort of tweak to the ROM I could do to avoid having to install another app that runs in the background continuously, but it's looking like this may be the only known route.
I use AutomateIt Pro to turn on auto brightness at 10PM every night. It then turns auto brightness off in the morning and sets the screen to 80%.

Hey that's cool. Definitely something I will try by myself

I use Tasker to turn off auto brightness and set to minimum from 10pm-6:30am. That's my main use case, so I guess I'm OK.

Yes this is just too bright by default. I've tried lux auto brightness but it uses too much battery.

I question Lux is the culprit, works perfectly in dynamic mode over here - and I love it, saves my eyes, saves my battery.
Dimming screen should save more current than the process itself uses while using the phone (screen on) IMHO.
Depending on the ambient light, brightness, my screens is at 85%, 60%, 30%, down to 10% and even less, I quickly worked out my personal links
Hi somebody knows how to fix burn in on note 8 i have it in the middle of the screen anyone?
I think you need to replace the whole screen. Curious to how long have you had your note8? I've had mine since launch and my screen is still burn free, though I rarely go beyond 75% brightness.
There is no fix for burned screens, but there some precautions to prevent it, resonable brightness level is a very important one

I am surprised some of you are running the screen at 75% brightness. Mine is usually set to 50-60% at all times and it is more than bright enough. This is for general indoor use/night time that is...
In fact, my other phone, the Huawei Mate 10 Pro is set to 70% brightness yet is about as bright as my Note 8 at 50% brightness. Fantastic and very bright screen the Note 8 already has...

Where do you derive the brightness percentage figures from?

As burn in would totally do my head in, I've got mine set to around 35-40% and I think that's plenty bright enough. Obviously, if it detects I'm in bright sunlight it gets brighter of its own accord, so the relatively low brightness works well for me, plus it saves a bit of battery too.
I got burn in just the status bar,but without clock and battery and other items,just the bar itself,i use the phone for about six mounths,and i stay over 75% everyday,i work outside ..and only that bar got burn,you need to be careful cuz the note 8 is a beautiful pice.
I just got a replacement for my Note 8 after having terrible burn in using the navigation app. on my motorcycle. I always had my brightness set to auto, but had the nav app display always on. I actually have bad burn in from both the copilot app as well as the Waze app. With the replacement, I will set the app to turn the display off after a few minutes. Kind of sucks, as I used my Note 3 for 3 years and never had this issue. I wonder if reducing the screen resolution would help? I always had it at the highest setting.
Lowering the resolution will in fact make it worse, as it groups pixels to behave as one, better do what you said, lower brightness, shorter times to screen off, etc

I had a similar burn-in issue using Android Auto on my Note 4, so for my Note 8 I use Tasker to dim the screen to around 10% which is just about visible - I can restore normal brightness by using the proximity sensor to toggle it on and off.
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.
How do you control screen brightness on your Pixel 4 / 4 XL?
To help battery life, I have read that Ambient display or Adaptive Brightness and that EQ thing too, can be a bit of a battery drainer, and it's best to just set your brightness yourself. But there's no easy quick way to do that it seems? Other than going into Settings - Display, and sliding the bar up or down to get the specific % you want.
Is there an app, or what are you guys doing?

I'm a full manual kinda dude. Inside, i'll set it at 50, then up to 90 or so when I go outside. If it's really bright, then i'll hit my HBM widget :good:
I run it with adaptive brightness on and ambient EQ on. Time saved on micro managing something like brightness is worth a little battery life. I calibrate my adaptive brightness to 0% in pitch dark and don't touch it anymore.

Auto!
I used to use manual for my OnePlus 7 Pro because that thing was horrible with setting brightness for me. It would always get too dim. This Pixel, however, has solid auto brightness and doesn't drastically increase or decrease.
Battery life part isn't an issue for me since I don't really notice a huge drain with it on + I'm almost always around a charger anyway.
For those that aren't aware the auto-brightness on these phones takes quite some time to fully adjust to your preferences. You need to keep fiddling it every time you're not satisfied and it will remember the setting you made, make note of ambient light, time of day, etc. and adjust accordingly until it has you pegged. This takes days, a week, more or less. Dutifully counsel it as to correct brightness and you may just find it works very well and can be left alone once you've got it in line. Think of it as a stubborn dog that must corrected until trained.

Not for me. I literally just put it to 0% in pitch black and, for me, it's adjustments to all other ambient lights is perfectly fine for me. But you are correct that it can take some time but I say within a week and not multiple weeks.

I didn't say multiple weeks, I meant the time can be days or up to a week more or less, sorry if I didn't phrase that well. Mine was about a week as was the previous pixels before it. Anecdotally it seems it takes longer if you prefer your phone brighter in general but that's just based on my reading different observations people have had of it. Your own tend to fit that mold, you clearly prefer it dim(mer) simply because the phone really likes to keep it down in the stock model so if you were good to go with just one adjustment you lean that way.
This is probably the worst issue I have with the phone, it seems to drop screen brightness when it heats up, which more likely than not happens when using the phone in direct sunlight, making what is generally a bright screen under sunlight become a pain to use.
I'm not exactly a heavy phone user, so I'd much rather keep the phone at max brightness for short periods, even if it heats up a little. Anyone had any luck disabling this safety feature?

Have you tried turning off Adaptive Brightness in Display settings?
And also have you got the latest firmware update?

Yes, it was all turned off, but in the meanwhile I cleared the data for Device Health Services and it seems to have stopped sudden changes in brightness, it would visibly brighten up the display going from indoors to outdoors before.
Seems it was still retaining some adaptive brightness settings even after having disabled it. Will test if further tomorrow to see if that fixed it.

Well good luck bud!
Well, it still dims and brightens the display, to a lesser extent now, but I'm starting to doubt it's due to heating. Heating it up with intensive use while keeping it in bright conditions keeps the display at maximum, but changing lighting conditions like going indoors or covering the light sensor causes it to dim the display.
Is this a bug or a feature, I've seen people elsewhere complaining about this, so it's not a unique occurence.
