If you have Xposed installed, download Minimum Brightness.

You could also try a filter app like Twilight or Bluelight Filter.

Thanks, that worked! But is there another module that brights the screen more than normal?

I very highly doubt it.

Screen filter app from play store

Lux ftw. Lower brightness plus vastly superior automatic brightness in one :good:

Bluelight Filter is good!

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.

Automatic brightness?

Hi!,
Since I buy the Yphone I've always wondered, The automatic brightness works?, cuz in the stock rom the energy control widget don't give the automatic brightness option, and if I install a custom rom and use the AB Option I don't see the difference about the most brightest option.
So I have two questions:
1) The automatic brightness option works?
2) If not : It's possible to make it work?
Thanks for all.
Charlie
what?automatic brightness?I don't see any option which mentioned automatic brightness in my device. are you sure about this?
I think we don't have light sensors

Yep. Auto brightness is impossible because SGY doesn't have light sensors. Best you could hope for is to automate it based on time.

i thought they have already have one. with high brightness setting, our screen's brightness will decreased if we set our screen timeout long.
Galaxy Y does have an ambient light sensor. So it DOES adjust the brightness. But you probably wont notice it because the brightness is set even if the screen is turned off. It will be brightest when you are in the sun. So its difficult to notice the change.
Really? Mine has never adjusted or anything. I have to adjust it myself.

S Note Brightness

Whenever I use S Note, the brightness always seems to go up and I can't change it, anyone know how to adjust it.?

Same here. Really annoying. For now I'm using an app called screen filter to dim the screen when using s note in the evenings. Sammy should fix this though.

Mine starts with reduced intensity, if I selected reduced intensity as a general setting. Do you use (intensity) auto-settings of any kind in the general / Touchwiz settings? Or reading mode?

That is actually a great suggestion. It does not switch to full brightness when system auto brightness is disabled.

I always disable those 'helpful' features. Just include the brightness control in your status bar, set Adapt display to off, Screen mode to "Movie", switch off Reading mode, all Smart screen features to "off" etc. (unless you prefer otherwise)
I still get a very bright screen that doesn't respond to the brightness slider. Any fix for this or are all users of S Note using it at this brightness?
I use Lux Auto Brightness (there is also a free version), to overwrite Samsung control. It allows different settings for different apps.
Thanks. Will check that out.

I think it works only if you turn off automatic brightness first and then start Snote

Turn off auto brightness.

I had same issue. First I turned off auto brightness before starting s note. Adjust brightness, then run s note should keep the brightness the same.
It help the situation but not a permanent solution. Hope Samsung can fix it ASAP.

Can I lower the screen brightness for the Oneplus 3?

Hello Together,
at night, when i am reading in bed or surfing with chrome the display is too bright.
Is there a app or tweak to reduce the minimum screen brightness?
I would prefer not to use an app with a filter overlay. It should really reduce the brightness.
I have read about such an feature with ElementalX Kernel. It did not worked so I changed to stock again.
THANK YOU,

Just disable adaptive brightness and adjust it manually to your liking.
Download the app f.lux , it sure makes the screen easy on my eyes at night
Thanks for your ideas.
Manual brightness lowest setting is no difference.
And i installed f.lux. I do Not like the settings.
Are there further ideas/possibilities?
What did not work with elementalx?
Did you install the kernel correctly and enable the backlight dimmer option? Works for me
Download this xposed module and lower the minimum brightness level.

ElementalX kernel has a feature which allows you to dim the display to a lower value than by default, you may want to check it out.
Try Twilight app
I found an app on Google Play called " TWILIGHT
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.urbandroid.lux
You set the time of day for the phone to dim - early in the morning and late at night. It dims the screen but also shades more reds on the screen as it's better for your eyes before sleep to decrease the bright lights. Been using it for 6 months and I like it. Occasionally - I get a warning of "screen overlay" when I'm using sime new apps that modify phone settings, but you can pause the app to modify settings - and reactivate the Twilight.
Give it a try..

increase lowest brightness

I'm searching for an app or something to increase my lowest brightness because pixel 2xl screen is kinda sh*tty in very low brightness. All the apps that I can find offer only the opposite by applying a filter.
Anyone knows anything that can be done?

Are you stock or rooted??. If rooted, you can set minimum brightness levels with a custom kernel and the EXKM app :good:
I'm not sure I understand your question.
When set at it's lowest setting, the display brightness is not bright enough?
Why not move the slider to a little brighter of a setting?

That's what I do until now. I was curious though if I can automate it and not mess with the slider all the time. I keep it at the middle with auto brightness but in the dark the brightness gets too low and the black crush and ghosting is unbearable.

Oh. So you want to set the perfect brightness as the lowest settings so you just have to swipe all the way left instead of finding the sweet spot with the slider?
Still crazy, but now I get it

I think the right expression is blind as a bat. Thanks mate. @azbiker something like that. I just couldn't find an optimal setting for both day and night.

Auto brightness at 50% still gets you crushed blacks? Can't test that now cause I'm on DP2 but I'm pretty sure when I had that same setting, it was too bright for me actually.

Try this to automate completely! :good: Integrates with Tasker and a tasker plugin named Twilight to change based on home or not, sun rise or sun down, travel speed (brighter walking / dimmer in a vehicle). Incrediable app, I've used it for 4-5 years on many devices. Does not require root but works well if you are rooted.

I set it around 40-45 and in a dark room is really bad. Well reading is ok at that brightness but everything else is a nightmare.
