Why are so many display consumes battery power? And can we somehow increase the display brightness and change the range of colors? Can there be any third-party kernel? Very strange. Thx.

I have a problem...
Every notification is working fine, just the one for low battery is not working.
Tried it with LED setting in SGS3 menu on and off, also changing the color has no effect.
Curious: Test mode for low battery works with every color, but live it doesn't.
Any suggestions? Did I miss something in settings?
Edit: Also notification does not work with the low battery setting ...
Cheers
Hi, is there a way to tune the default adaptive brightness level? i find it abit bright at time. It will be good if there is a way to lower down certain % from the default brightness level.
I also facing brightness level auto ramp up randomly when unlocking the phone even when adaptive brightness was off... any help would be appreciated! :fingers-crossed:

As far as I know, some third-party kernels have this function built-in. Such as ElementalX kernel and Franco kernel. But another popular kerbel blu_spark does not support it.
I found that I get better battery life if I keep power saving mode on during my daily use, problem is that it lowers the screen brightness too low sometimes even when slide to max brightness. Is there a way to retain my brightness on normal mode when I am in power saving mode?

You can try lumos brightness manager but you will no longer be able to use the slider in the quick menu.
You may want to try the app "Night Screen" as well.
I would like for refresh rate to go down from 120 to 60Hz when I am reading and screen is static doing nothing, however, this only happens when brighness is high, around 75-80% brightness bar.
Is this something that is limited by the display panel itself, or it's something that can be solved with a custom rom, kernel or software? I am on MIUI right now, if you know any custom rom or kernel where you can lower brightness and still have 60Hz let me know please.
So I've tried a custom rom (crDroid) and adaptive refresh rate works at much lower brightness percentage (maybe at 35% brightness and higher), and it is also much dimmer, it's not just a case of fake percentage. It seems that it's not just a hardware limitation.
About why this is good to have is because you save a bit of battery when screen is at 60Hz doing nothing compared to 120Hz doing nothing, I measured about -30mA difference with Accubattery.
Hello!
I bought a Base S22 a few weeks ago and so far, I'm loving this device. But one thing that bothers me is the adaptive brightness implementation from Samsung, because its not really "adaptive". Even on some cloudy days, the brightness gets maximized and I can not change it to a lower level, because I always get the "maximized for best viewing in bright light" notification. In all other scenarios the adaptive brightness algorithm works perfectly.
Is there a way to disable this kind of behavior?
My current solution for sunny days is a Bixby routine to quickly disable adaptive brightness when I'm longer outside to save some battery.
Use manual brightness control. Adaptive brightness never worked right... no surprise it still doesn't.
You can manually lower the brightness even in adaptive mode, and hopefully it will adapt to you too.
Another options are:
- Battery Saving mode has optional "10% lower brightness "
– Battery Guardian module of Good Lock (with dependencies!) may be configured to lower brightness when phone's temperature is high

That never works right either... The only draw back to full manual is finding the slider in bright light to jack it up. Auto is easier to temporarily use then. That said using the device in direct sunlight should be limited to seconds not minutes. Avoid whenever possible.
50% or less is best for battery and AMOLED conservation.
Using manual brightness control saves battery, display and your retinas

The problem is that the phone puts the brightness to the maximum and locks it there in bright light. Even when I use battery saving to lower the brightness by about 10%, it doesn't let me change the brightness to a lower level.
I don't know if this is just a thing on Samsung phones, because I heard that they use the adaptive brightness algorithm with KI from Google.

Which is why I use full manual control almost always. Invariably auto is many time too bright and has a tendency to "jump" around. Lol, human vision in much more adaptable and its nearly seamless.
The brightest stars burn the quickest... my plan is to have a display that's perfect for the life of my heavily used devices which likely will be in excess of 4+ years. Batteries are easy and cheap to replace, the displays aren't. Samsung's plan is to sell you a new phone every year.
