Controlling the automatic Backlight

Hi,
automatic backlight is still too bright for me in almost any environment. I want to control the brightness of the screen by setting other values.
Is there an app or a hack to do this?
Good question. Loved to know too!
Look under widgets and you will find one called
"Brightness"
I'll let you figure the rest out for yourself

Try to using
Brightenes Level App
I recommend "SwitchPro Widget", which is available from the Marketplace. It allows you to toggle the brightnees, even to levels lower than the automatic setting.
Hi, i dont want to change brightness manually, but want to change the default values which are used for automatic brightness. Is this possible?
Does no one knows??
Hmmm would be handy!

Perhaps you could put some tinted glass/plastic over the sensor, so the phone thinks it's darker than it actually is and doesn't make the screen as bright?

good idea, but that's not the resolution, even in night it's very bright and for me even at manual 1% brightness it's a bit to bright for me...
would be awesome to have more possibilities to work with the amoled screen - by the way - for black it needs 0% energy so better to read white letters on black background
edit: me using "Quick Settings" to handle brightness etc.
Hi I am using dimmer lite download frm market place suits my usage

I would like the automatic brightness to be just a bit more brighter when im outside. Would be great to be able to adjust it!!
If there was something like a -2 -1 0 +1 +2 way to adjust it!
Dont want manually keep setting the brightness all the time.
I just tried the app called Dimmer.
It is perfect.
Goes to a very low setting and then switches back to whatever you had before.
I have the same problem with my Desire that the Auto Brightness doesn't go all the way down and the HTC Denmark support basically just said meh. And said they would report it as a wish for future updates.

This app is great! Thank you!
I have my phone on autobacklight, but I find that in dark settings its too bright!!
This app does what I want with a simple click! Shame however that there's no way to reduce the lowest brightness on auto setting built into the OS.

Auto brightness settings

Hi. I need some help setting the auto brightness values to get a brighter screen, since the original are kind of dark. I'm looking to achieve something retina-like. I'm on AOKP 4.2.2.

Auto Brightness Questions

I've been trying to figure out this auto brightness thing myself and their implementation is definitely a little unique.
So with auto on, the slider still has a slight effect in that auto with slider at 100 favors a slightly higher brightness than auto with slider at 0? So with auto on it always adjust to the environment but the scale is slightly different depending on the slider? Auto 100 will use more battery then auto 0?
Has anyone actually tested that? Is there any way to see the actual current nominal brightness level because I'm not positive that's what's happening. The other thing that I suspect could be occurring is that moving the slider when auto mode is on has a temporary effect and then auto re-kicks in again.
Try Lux app to custom control brightness

I have lux, but that wasn't my question.
That's intended behavior. Whatever you have the slider on is the 'base' value while auto brightness is enabled. So you can change the base value to favor more or less brightness.
I still stick with lux to get the best auto brightness control
when we tap on Auto Brightness in toggle panel there is a small "C" letter on brightness icon there.Anyone one what does it mean in real?
Comfort or custom or...?

screen to dark?

Hi folks,
t800 stock rom with nova launcher. Find the screen brightness a bit dim, have set to auto brightness with +3
Anyone else find the auto brightness naff?
Cheers

For me when using auto brightness its a bit darker then without it. Without auto bright ness on and setting it halfway its a bit brighter. Of course amoled makes blacks darker or exactly black.

Adjust ambient display brightness?

Is there a way to brighten the ambient display, such as the clock and notifications that appear? I can barely see it in the sun. I had no problem seeing my moto z play in the sun.

If you go into settings / display there is a brightness slider that you can use to manually set the screen at a brighter level. I'm not sure if that recalibrates the base Android uses in its ambient settings or not. If you just are used to a brighter screen and find that the ambient setting continues to make the screen dimmer than you like after using the slider you can just turn the ambient display feature off entirely. I personally like the feature but a lot of people don't and just turn it off.
There are also apps in the Play Store that allow you to manually adjust the screen brightness without going into the settings menu, if you want to have easier control over it.

I know that the AOKP ROM allows alot of modifications to the ambient display brightness settings. Other ROMs may do the same but I know and use the settings on AOKP. It's a very good ROM! Native settings don't have the options.
AOKP and Pixel Dust are the two roms I know of that have this option.
You don't need a ROM to kick in higher brightness on auto brightness.
Just root and install ElementalX kernel or one based on it.
Then install this widget and once toggled, it will give you way more max brightness on auto brightness.

I noticed that my wife's phone has significantly brighter ambient display. They have identical settings as far as I can tell. So I'm not sure but I would love to find out the answer cause I want mine brighter too
Go to advanced display settings and toggle off the option to wake the screen with new notifications, then turn off the lift to view gesture. Your ambient display should brighten significantly.
