[Q] Auto brightness error... Auto brightness NOT on

I've had a problem with the t989D since I got it. Here's what I want:
**Auto brightness turned OFF and the brightness remain at minimum setting.**
However, with all the roms I've tried (Stock, Juggernaut 4.1- 5.0, Tuesday) I always have the auto brightness OFF and the screen always brightens up to about 75% whenever I turn the screen back on.
Note: the settings still show as if the brightness is set to 0%, but the actual brightness coming from the screen is the same as if I turn the bar up to 75%. When I start to move the adjustment bar a slight amount for the brightness, the actual screen light drops right away. It only stays on 0% as long as I'm using it, but then is really bright again when I lock, then unlock the screen.
Is anyone else noticing this? Beyond that, is it possible to prevent the screen from adjusting it's brightness while the auto brightness nis off?
Thanks for any assistance!!

[Q] Auto Adjust Screen Tone setting missing.

My Xperia ZL keeps dimming its screen automatically every time when the phone gets warm, it's very annoying since it happens on my previous Xperia S as well, I can't find "Auto Adjust Screen Tone" setting or check box in display settings.
How can or can I disable the Auto Adjust Screen Tone on my ZL?

As far I'm aware, It's in the Display>Brightness setting, and turn off "Adapt to lightning conditions".

There should be two different settings on android, Adapt to lightning conditions n Auto adjust screen tone.

Did anyone see this new bug with new update ??the screen turns off before 30sec of inactivity

There are two factors that automatically adjust screen brightness.
First is based on ambient light. It will set backlight brighter if you are in brighter place, and dim it if you move to dark. It could be controlled or even disabled in "display" settings menu.
Second one is "dynamic contrast". It sets brightness of backlight based on currently displayed image. For example "dull", low contrast image will have backlight reduced to save power, while image with more contrast will have brighter backlight. This can't be switched off or controlled by any apps, from what I know even custom ROMs still have it on, probably it's hardware-controlled.

dim screen on wake up

most of the time when the phone wakes up and the screen stays dim and grey, as if there is a semitransparent picture in front of the screen. I can see the clock and I can unlock it, but everything is dimmed.
If I turn of the screen one or two times, it usually wakes op again without this grey dim sheet and I can use the phone in full brightness.
I turned off auto brightness, but this did not solve the problem. The brightness slider also turns upp the brightness, but it is still about half as dim as it should be.
can anyone help me in finding out why this is happening?

Ambient Display

Is there any app that can show ambient display always on only when we have a notification waiting our attention?
Samsung have it's display always on, there are several apps that do that, but that I don't want.
OP5T have Ambient Display that only lights up when we tilt the phone, than screen turns off again, I want a app that makes my screen Always of and just when I receive a notification it became always on in ambient display until I dismiss or view the notification(s).
The approach of OP is, we have to tilt phone to screen wake up, it's a kind of battery saving, but if I have my phone in hands and be moving, some times the screen lights up unnecessarily, and if is resting in secretary I have to raise it up to show ambient display.

I feel you on this one. Just moved over to OP5T from a Moto X 2014 Pure (and it still works pretty good!) and had become used to the "breathing" notifications with the AMOLED display and hand wave over proximity sensor to show ambient notifications. There is actually a tweak to this aspect in the Omni ROM that just released with Android 8, although it may not be stable enough for daily driving. Will be nice when the settings drill down into this area.

Question Display issues?

Im having what I think is display issues!
Washed out colors. Auto dimming of display. And what seems to be stuttering!
Anyone have experienced the same and any possible fix?
K have installed the latest update v4.15

Auto dimming is controlled by the auto slider on the drop down menu. You can also turn on the button on the top left side, and control it that way. As for washed out colors, you control the display in the display settings like a tv. You can make it any way you want. The display on mine is right up there with a LG OLED cx, and better than any Samsung phone I've had.
