Does the brightness slider appear in expanded status bar, and does it move when you slide it? Stock or custom ROM?

Yes I can move it but nothing changes.
Using stock 5.1.1

A few options - 1) try a 3rd-party broghtness ap, ( like maybe https://play.google.com/store/apps/...ria&pcampaignid=APPU_1_kEfpV6ebJ8bx-QGS-o-oCw ). If that works, it's probably a fw problem. 2) mess with display settings, (there are lots of them in stock Xperia), and see if anything you do affects it. 3) make a backup and try a factory reset/reinstall, and see if anything changes. You could also try wiping caches...

Brightness apps dont work, but in xperia settings i can change white balnce(make screen colour more red, green, or blue). I could change brightness level before I changed screen but now it doesnt so maybe its also hardware but if i can change screens colour to more blue red or green I think it could also make it brighter.
Will probably do factory reset later.

I did service test with ambient light sensor and value is always 0.

My screen dim level is at 1 and my phone is still too bright. How could I reduce this even further so that sliding my brightness toggle in the notifications bar all the way to low will reduce the brightness even further? Is there not an option or a mod that allows you to pretty much dim your screen to complete darkness?

screen filter from playstore

I see screen filter, the only problem I have with it is its persistent notification. As far as I can see there's no way to remove it. If I could get rid of the persistent notification I would set it to boot with tasker.
Suggestions to remove from notification?
Try lux auto brightness not sure if it has persistent notification or not.

I know about lux too, but it's not what I need.
Is there a way to lower the brightness set by the kernel or is this unchangeable?
Download screen calibrator and it works like a charm, you can also remove the icon from the status bar
Sent from my SGH-I747 using xda app-developers app
I looked into this too, I believe the only option is screen filter or anything like it.. which makes no sense to me.
Lower brightness = better for eyes+battery

Yeah I actually prefer the dropdown notification built into AOKP roms for brightness, but the lowest brightness is too bright. In a room with lights off, reading the amazon kindle before bed is pretty discomforting if you're trying to ease into sleep. Way too bright.
Apparently the only way to do it unless the screen filter author comes up with a way to get rid of that persistent notification/load on startup is to kernel hack, and personally for someone who isn't a developer/programmer, I wouldn't touch an opensource code with a stick
I have the same problem. The lowest brightness is still too high to read something with the lights off.
Hey, I think I actually found something.. do you have cm10? If you do, you can turn on screen filter normally then go to settings > apps > screen filter and uncheck "show notifications". That took away the persistent notification for me.
I don't know if you can do this in aopk.
i have a great solution (with a notification-so i will try your suggestion 386 once my rom is done backing up), but want to make my own personalized "build (apps, tweaks etc) thread". Where can I make it without getting slapped by the mods? In the galaxy s3 general thread or since most of it is can be done on different android phones in the the overall general thread?
The screen is just too bright at a dark room with the lowest setting and without using auto/adaptive brightness. I don't want to use any screen filter apps if possible. I tried changing the value with gravity box to 1 but it doesn't seems to do anything. I am on Lollipop 5.1 stock fw rooted. Thanks
The screen cannot go any darker. Since you are rooted I'd suggest CF.lumen. It's the only solution I found that really helps eye strain in dark rooms. It's not a filter like twilight, it changes on driver level with root.

Try Screen Adjuster ! It will work on whole screen expect the navigation buttons !

So I just bought a 10 again after my previous one died. I've noticed that the colors on this display actually fluctuate in terms of accuracy/richness.
For example, on the homescreen - icons like WhatsApp, Hangouts etc are all very light green, instead of the dark green logo they originally have. Similarly, the Quora app (originally deep red/burgundy) is actually very light red.
I know this is an issue because the display corrects itself and renders colors correctly if I open apps. For example, on opening WhatsApp - i can see the colors transition from light green to dark green over the course of a few seconds. The color reproduction is fluctuating again and again.
Since it is fluctuating, I don't think changing/tweaking settings from the Display menu will help. But is there anything else I can do? Maybe turn some settings off?
Or should I return the device?
Better return a device
Gpu may be corrupted
You may try elemental X kernel and change colour settings to check wheter it stays

It is actually a 10 Lifestyle, so the kernel will not work. I'll just return it/take it to the service center then.
When I set the lighting it doesn't move around the screen like it's supposed to, It's just a steady light. I tried different settings and it's the same on basic, multi(only the top left corner lights and it's steady also), and glow. The glitter one moves but yeah, not into that lol. I contacted Samsung and they said to do a soft reset and if that don't work to go into safe mode and check it that way. I did both and neither worked. I have the boost mobile variant, sm-g960u. Any help would be appreciated.
Go back to the edge settings and set width to wide, set transparency to low, and choose your effect, I'm using multi colour. You can change the colour for specific apps as well like blue for Facebook and green for whatsapp etc.
Click colour and then app colour.
Should look sweet now

I've tried that but still a no go. They're still steady and on multi it's only the corner that lights up
EDIT : I figured it out. I turned off the animator duration scale in developer options. Duh
All fixed now?

Before ONE UI 3.0 was possible to use Edge Lighting with the screen totally off. Now each time edge lights the screen tries to wake up. Why??
This is annoying and battery consuming.
Another problem is that now is not possible to use Edge Lighting in different colours for different apps. For example, I would like to use green for Whatsapp, red for Gmai, blue for Telegram and so.
It's still possible. It's just harder to find the setting. In general setting do a serach for "edge" and you will find it. There you will find the setting for both app-controlled colors and "screen-off"

Ok, thanks. I got it. At least my screen doesn't wake up each time a notifications arrives and only the Edge lights.
On the contrary I don't know if it is possible to use different colours for different apps. When I look inside Colours in Edge settings and I touch on "colours for app" nothing happens.
Strange... this is how it looks for me and colors per app works. However, I can't find any setting what color to use... it sets itself (by icon?)

Exactly, this is what I mean. Although I touch over the white icon "colour for apps" nothing happens.
Maybe you're right and the colour for the Edge selects itself in function of the colour of its app icon.
