Auto is too dim for me so i set it around 79%. Higher brightness hurts my eyes but maybe I just need to get used to it?

I turned off auto and set the brightness to 100%. I love a bright screen. So far 17 hours on battery, 2 hours screen time, and still at 50%. Good enough for me.
I need better

Turn off the lights.
I keep it always on 100%. Only when I need to save the battery I lower it.
Would love to get more input.
I simply use auto brightness. Bright screens look better but they strain my eyes too much.
I keep it at 50% and thats super bright for me... Keeping it 100 sounds insane

Apparently I'm in the minority so far. I hate screens that are too bright for the setting they're in. I keep mine at absolute minimum (0%?) unless an increase in ambient light makes it hard to see. Then I increase it as little as possible until it's at similar visibility as it was before the ambient light increase.
i keep mine at 50% also, i could see doing 60% if i really needed it but anything over that would be overkill IMO.
I use auto
auto 100%
I use Lux app. Check the PlayStore and see if it might work for you.
You guys no you can adjust the contrast.

80% most of the time. I adjust when/if I need to.
Usually <50% indoors and >70% outdoors. The best way to make it learn what you like is to use LUX app.

Is it better to have your brightness low (25-30%) or to have auto on?

I've always been told to keep it on 25-30%, as opposed to automatic. Supposedly auto uses more battery, but i've never really tested it, to see how drastic the difference is. I'm good with it at 25-30% anyhow, so I just leave it there all the time.
I can't stand auto. I always just set it at the lowest acceptable brightness level. At night I have it pretty much all the way down, during the day it's up a little higher.
I figure it would be better to just stick with low light. It's amazing how things are when you turn up the brightness. Until you look at how much battery you used.

As long as you cab see the content in your screen it should be fine, I just to control my brightness but I got tired of it and get the almost the same result in battery life without wasting my time doing it myself

Im wondering if anybody else here always has their brightness to max and wondering what screen on time you guys get, i usually get like 2 hours max with full brightness..what about you guys?
I never really turn mine above 35% unless I'm outside in direct light.. 100% is too bright for me in normal circumstances.

I have mine set to about 80% brightness and it lasts approx from 7am to 10pm.
I keep mine at about 10-20% indoors. The thing is crazy bright. Outdoors it needs 50-75%. 100% is crazy bright.
I've been 100 percent the whole time. Normally get 2 hours of screen time and 7 hours total before I need a charge on the extended battery. I'm willing to sacrifice battery life for a gorgeous screen.

Same, full brightness hurts my eyes. Indoor I usually use 10-20%, outdoor maybe 50-60%.
Full brightness gives me about 2-3 hours screen on time. Stock 1730mah battery.

100% brightness majority of the time for me. I'm not a heavy user so I typically still get over 24 hours of charge with full brightness.
oh okay, thanks guys. reading your replies makes me feel that my phone is normal .
Full brightness all the time. Carry two extra batteries one reg and one extended. I'd rather enjoy it all the way than deprive.

I downloaded lux from the market to try to bump up the auto brightness. I'm not sure it works though, I miss cyanogenmod's auto brightness settings.

Full Brightness
I didn't spend all this money for such a beautiful screen to deprive it. I have both my galaxy tab and nexus both turned up to 100%. I get about 2.5 hours of screen time on the nexus. The tab stays at home and is plugged in most of the time anyway so I don't know.
Coming from the Droid with an LCD, I find the AMOLED to be better under all conditions. Even at 100%, the Droid was barely readable in direct sunlight, even worse than the GN @ 40%.
Doesn't 100% brightness hurt your eyes indoors? I only use that when watching Netflix.

Not really, i love it, beautiful amoled screen is amazing at 100%.. but ive used every phone ive ever owned at full brightness.. so i guess im used to it.
Hi.
Is there a way to increase brightness of my screen pass 100%?
Ive been searching for apps on the store but nothing.
I can't see anything when I'm outside (san diego) and it's kinda annoying.
Thanks

Nah man.
In the instances where something like that is possible is because of inaccurate maximum brightness levels from the manufacturer in regard to the hardwares highest brightness output and it's realtion to software coded brightness level values
(for battery savings)
which is " unlocked " to allow brighter than usual levels which is still the devices 100% level.
None of this applies to the EVO because 100% brightness is already 100% brightness and not 85%
LCD is a non-emissive display technology. The backlight produces all the light you can have, each pixel's behavior is controlled by filters in front of the backlight that can only reduce the final light output from this initial maximum.
(By comparison, OLED is an emissive technology. Drive the pixel harder, more light comes out.)
So the control you are looking for is the one that controls the backlight.
If you can find a way to make it go brighter than its nominal "100%" brightness level, go for it.
This sounds like a hardware level hack.
Note that perceived brightness does not increase linearly with increased power supplied to the backlight. At the top end of the range, a 10% increase in apparent brightness could cost much, much more than a 10% increase in battery consumption. Do you really want this?

Running your pixel 2 xl on auto brightness is good or bad? Does it use more or less battery?

It doesn't use much battery compared to Adaptive Brightness off unless you keep your screen at something low like 10% or less the whole time.

I've always, even with previous phones, used manual brightness. Partly because I am usually happy with brightness to be kept at, for this device, at 15% and if I need to adjust Ill use Brightness Control. I also feel that battery life must surely be better as the sensor isn't constantly being used to gauge how bright the screen should be and lastly always found autobrightness to increase/decrease the screen brightness randomly, e.g. Say in my living room and it'll just increase/decrease slightly.
So ultimately I'm very happy just to manually adjust

Mine is set to.20% with auto brightness enabled. At most times it hovers very close to 20%. I guess if i disabled auto brightness i will get better battery life. At the moment i average 7 hrs SOT.
So what do you achieve in terms of SOT at 15% brightness

I'm just running on stock firmware and happy with the battery performance.
Anyone else think the brightness is not very bright? I have turned auto brightness of but slider is on around 75 to 80% in normal conditions?
Seems fine to me. Depends entirely on what you are comparing it to, though.
With the brightness dialed all the way up, it looks either brighter or dimmer than my P2XL depending on the angle, so...
I have come from iphone x and (work phone) huawei p20 pro.
Right way up or 80% is fine but say half way 50% is loads lower than most other phones

The display could be brighter, I feel 100% should have been what 90% would be. 50 and below is too dark to be used at all imo.
If it just flat doesn't get bright enough for you you're kinda screwed. If you're wondering about auto brightness you gotta keep on cranking it up for a week or so before it starts giving in and giving you what you asked for; at least this was the case with my 3 XL. Seems to be the case here, mine is still slowly but surely getting brighter as I keep on dutifully upping it to the desired setting in various conditions. It worked very well before, the best I've used so far and I'm hoping the same will go on here.
The auto-brightness is supposed to be fairly intelligent BTW: As an example it's supposed to recognize the middle of the night and that your sleeping and turn the brightness down more with the same brightness information available than it would in the early evening when it knows you're awake. As an FYI the adaptive battery feature also seemed to need some time to figure out what it wanted to do. I had my 3XL for about a week last fall and the battery situation was slowly but surely getting better every day just like the auto brightness. No idea if either would have continued to improve after I sent that one back but they both needed time, that was for sure.
