I am not sure if this works with stock roms, but if you install PhilZ touch recovery from the thread... http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2367151
You have options in the advanced menu to change the response time for auto brightness. The default is 1 minute, you will need to tap about 4 times to get it down to 0, as it counts up to 5.
Which sped up the delay from going from one extreme to the other in ambient lighting.
If you install his custom roms you also get options to adjust the brightness intensity in 5 steps while auto brightness is on. I found this out after some time messing with my settings.

Lux Auto Brightness - perfect app for brightness tuning - you can set you own profile - matching desired screen brightness to sensor reading, and the process is very easy.
Short info, taken from app description:
Lux isn't your ordinary brightness app. It intelligently adjusts the brightness of your display based on the environment you're in. If, for example, you step into a dimly lit room, Lux will automatically lower the brightness of your display to make it not only comfortable to read, but to also preserve battery power.
Lux provides the option to automatically adjust the backlight at fixed intervals (periodic mode), when a change in environment is detected (dynamic mode), or when the phone wakes from sleep. It's also possible to adjust the backlight manually. Simply disable automatic mode and you can use it like a traditional brightness tool!
Perhaps the best thing about Lux is that you can teach it how to behave. If the backlight is too bright or dim for your liking, simply open the provided Dashboard, adjust the brightness slider to the level you desire, then hold the link button. Lux will use this new 'link' as a reference in future.

lux and velis both work. i paid for both, but i prefer lux.

Auto Brightness is Retarded

Why in the pitch black doesn't auto brightness dim the screen to the minimum?
Also, why cant we use the phone in the "dimmest" state which is what it lowers to before it enters sleep. This is even dimmer than the lowest manual setting.
You just made me laugh my ass off...............
That's why I don't use auto, just place the widgets close.

I find even on the dimmest setting the HOX is very view-able even on sunny days. So I leave it on that, battery is pretty good...
Havent even thought of using auto adjust.
I have a custom ROM, so it might not work on stock, but its worth a try.
While the display is on "Auto Brightness" & just before the display goes off, it will dim to the minimum, at this point & before the display turns off, if you use the display, the brightness will remain dimmed (without turning off the diplay) until you actualy turn off the display (manualy of just leave timeout). Then, when you turn display back on, Auto Brightness is back to normal.
I use Widgetsoid to make a switch to change between 20% and auto brightness. You can customise the levels as you like. Works like a charm!

I solved brighness issue with app named Lux Dash, working perfect

[Q] Decrease Minimum Brightness?

Is it possible to decrease the backlight of the phone even further than the minimum (for using in bed)? I tried modifying the min brightness setting in build.prop and it makes the brightness slider go further down, but it doesn't actually get any more dim. Is there any way to set this other than using a "screen filter"-type app. Thanks!
Yaab from the market, try it out

use and app called screen filter. it places a transparent layer over the screen and dims it further. it works better on amoled than on led lit screens since amoleds don't use a backlight. with led backlights it doesn't dim it, just darkens the images (backlight level remains the same).
I can't remember why I settled on Display Filter instead of Screen Filter. But there's another option for you.

Done it several times, whenever auto is engaged displays darken
I use Lux Auto Brightness as it allows to dim below zero at night so that the display doesn't blind you. You can also configure the desired display brightness for any lux value of the ambient light sensor. Works quite well for me.

Which is the fastest way to change the display brightness of the watch?

I'd like to adjust the screen brightness of the watch *quickly*. When I'm indoors, I'd like to reduce the brightness level to 1 and when I'm outdoors I'd like to increase brightness to 5.
Going through the settings is not very comfortable, a toggle button would be perfect. I use "watchmaker pro" for my watch face. Is it possible to create a button that would do that? I don't want to use anything else then watchmaker for the watch face.
What other options do I have? Could "autowear" or tasker help me?
You can temporary increase brightness to maximum by pressing the button 3 times.
Why don't you use a medium brightness (2 -4) all the time?
I know I can push brightness temporarily, but I don't want to press the button 3 times whenever I want to have a look at my watch in a bright environment.
Medium brightness is often to dark for bright conditions and too bright for dark conditions.
I use SWapp True dark. I simply touch the left edge of the screen, and it toggles from bright to dark and vise versa. It works pretty good.
Sounds very interesting, but it seems the app is discontinued and the current version in the app store is no longer working.
I'm using the current version in the app store, and it works just fine.

auto brightness too low

hey guys,
im having trouble with adaptive brightness since some time and i am pretty sure sth has changed there.
my screen is just to dark for the most time.
some time ago i could just increase the brightness value and the adaptive brightness would work with that (higher) value, like an anchor value.
now, by doing that, i just change the overall brightness and it will jump back after some time.
is this the same for you guys? it gets obviously when being in a dark room and ramping up the brightness (with adaptive brightness enabled) to 100 percent. now when i disable adaptive brightness, exactly nothing changes in terms of brightness, however former times, there would be still an increase in brightness since 100 percent with adaptive brightness does not equal 100 percent on manual brightness (at least in a dark place). now it does.
is this the same for you? was this an update or sth?
latest stock pie, with caesium kernel.
Something in kernel settings?

nothing set in settings.
also just tried another one, kikasura or how it is callled. same thing.
just that we are on the same page here: you still can increase the anchor value in brightness settings. or will it, too, just increase your overall brightness for a short time and as soon as lights change or you lock the screen it will be back to previous values?
I stop using auto brightness because some times he is crazy.
I prefer manual mod, like this I have the hand on it and i consum lot less battery (It's my feeling)
Adaptive Brightness is still working fine for me. The way I like to "calibrate" it is when in pitch dark, I set it all the way down to 0. From there it'll always go maximum when in sunlight and indoors it's somewhere in between and does fine. If that's not enough, try resetting adaptive brightness:

It is happening the same to me on very low light scenarios, auto brightness will go to the lower value, setting the screen without almost no bright, besides I put it manually higher. Maybe this happened after a update I dont know.
