Is there currently a hack, custom ROM, or other way to prevent the screen from dimming way down when on screens with lots of white (like the email/Outlook screen). Even when I have brightness set to "HIGH" and Auto to "OFF", all the other screens are really bright. But when I go to the email screen (or any other app that has a white background), the Focus automatically dims it way down. I'm sure this is to save battery or eye-strain on white screens, but I'd like it to be much brighter if possible.
Thanks!
Yeah, It's look hard but I want it on my HD7 too.
because the auto-brightness on WP7 was not smart so much compare to the other.
It's not give the lowest brightness when enter into the dark room (that's hurt my eye) and not bright enough when enter into the sunlight.
Nope. It's programmed into the pentile display driver. Total deal-breaker for me.

The auto-brightness setting in WP7 adjusts a screen's brightness based only on the ambient light sensor. The Focus and Omnia 7 dim their screen if they're displaying a majority of white pixels, even with auto-brightness off and set to high.
Switch to the white theme. It happens so frequetly now that I don't even register it!
OK, so that's not a solution but give it a go, it bugged the hell out of me at the start but now ive forgotten it even does it.
I understand why they've done it, but really it should follow the brightness setting if they're worked about battery life.

There's a couple of options in the camera app that aren't entirely self-explanatory. Anyone able to shed any light?
Anti-shake: The manual says, "reduces image blur due to the movement of the subject of the photo or hand movement." Any ideas why this is disabled by default? Are there any downsides to reducing shake?
Auto contrast: The manual says, "provides a clear image even under backlight circumstances where intensity of illumination can vary excessively." Does anyone have any idea what this is doing? Is this HDR?
Outdoor visibility: The manual says, "allows you to take better pictures when outdoors." Anyone know if this does anything besides just make the screen colors brighter?
Anyone have any ideas?
Anti-Shake is an option to use to help reduce the effects of the camera moving while shooting a picture. I see no downsides to enabling it unless you like blurry pictures. It might reduce battery life a tiny bit more while using the camera.
Think of it as mouse smoothing in games, if you do that sort of thing.
Auto contrast is a nice feature (if it works well) that adjusts the pictures light levels in case of a dark subject and a bright background, or vice versa. It should help to make a better overal balanced picture.
Outdoor visibility has to do with the LCD screen itself. If you are outside on a bright day you want that on. It makes sure the backlight is on full and the colors are bright so you can more easily see the screen.
Hi.
Is there any way to control AOD brighness content or it's always at almost 90% bright (some auto adjustment from sys) ???
I just want to dim AOD brightness but not do dim whole system
ANY HELP?

Does anyone know how to turn off the s20's adaptive display feature? (I'm not asking about adaptive brightness.) I'm on a US snapdragon, unlocked, regular S20. Thanks!
I am referring to:
"Samsung's adaptive super AMOLED screen optimizes the color range, saturation, and sharpness of the picture depending on what you're watching or doing."
https://www.samsung.com/us/support/answer/ANS00063051/
The vivid/natural, white balance, and advanced RGB settings mentioned in that link do NOT seem to impact the adaptive display feature. (And in fact, white balance and RGB settings don't seem to do anything at all... If anyone has thoughts about why THAT is, or how to make them actually have an effect, I'm interested.)
I have tried turning off dark mode completely, turning off the video enhancer, and turning off the dark mode on wallpaper, but the problem persists and impacts things like apps and pages in Chrome - basically everything.
If I look at my task switcher, app screens will often look the way I want them to in the preview, but when I click on one, after about a second the display adjusts and changes the image to something brighter, whiter, and less what I want. This is true whether adaptive brightness is on OR off.
I'm trying to use a screen filter to manually set the screen to the settings I need, and it feels like the screen is fighting the filter and countering it, and I think this business with the adaptive display optimizing color and saturation could be the problem. Or if you have other ideas for the source of the problem, I want to hear them.
Any help is appreciated!

they removed the option to close adaptive display since Note 9 starting from s10 it is always on and can't be disabled

Ah hah! I think I figured out a solution to my problem (which was that the whites were too blue and bright and vivid as compared to everything else on the screen, no matter what settings I used on Twilight or another screen filtering app). For anyone who comes after me with a similar issue: the native blue light filter doesn't JUST turn on/off - it has an opacity setting which you can find and adjust by clicking on "blue light filter" in your display settings menu, to the left of the on/off toggle switch. Turning it all the way up (to the right) tones down the whites and blues without impacting the rest of the colors on the screen, which for me at least creates a much better color display ratio.

About this app:
Refresh Rate Mods
Change default refresh rates
-Easily change the overall refresh rate settings of devices supporting multiple refresh rates.
-Set supported mid refresh rates as the maximum refresh rate limit for battery savings (e.g. 96hz instead of 120Hz).
-Quick settings shortcut
-tasker plugin support.
Motion smoothness mode switcher(Normal, Adaptive or High)***
-Set you device motion smoothness mode to stationary refresh rates (high mode) for better smoothness if so desired on Samsung devices with native Adaptive motion smoothness with a little trade-off to the battery.
-Apply adaptive mod on device that don't natively support adaptive mode [premium]
-Tasker plugin support.
Per-app refresh rate settings:
Set different refresh rate settings for every app either adaptive or fixed(stationary) [premium].
Motion smoothness on power saving mode (not working to all devices with OneUI4.**+, test first). ***
-GMH will apply a workaround to bypass 60Hz limitation on Power Saving Mode (PSM) on supported Samsung smartphones.
-Automatically apply workaround when PSM is enabled [premium]
Note: Stopped working out-of-the-box on Note 20 Ultra updated to OneUI4.*. Extra steps alread required:Extra steps to bypass restriction on OneUI4.*/5.*. After selecting Adaptive or High in GMH while on power saving mode, do either: - Do a quick fake/mock video call to any number using the stock video call app(not google duo). Availability depends on network supportOR- Connect and disconnect to a wifi display or miracast receiver (e.g. smart tv, chromecast, windows laptops) using the Smart View function (Credits to @albiGib and @rblckmnjr84 for sharing the discovery)OR see Game booster methodScreen-off Mods:
Force to Lowest Hz: Force the lowest refresh rate on screen-off or Always-On Display(AOD). This overrides Samsung's strange stock behavior which sets the refresh rate to the highest on screen off (update: it is now at 60hz since OneUI3.0) to improve standby power consumption a bit.
-Tasker plugin support
Auto apply power saving mode during screen-off (after ~ 10 secs)***
Auto disable Autosync***
Quick-doze mod
-Quickly enter doze mode during screen-off that can not be interrupted by motion [premium].***
-Tasker plugin support
Auto SENSORS OFF (experimental non-root workaround)
-Device sensors will automatically turn off while screen is off until the device is unlocked to help minimize battery-draining motion-triggered wakelocks while device is not being used.
-Tasker plug-in support
- Supports up to OneUI4.1 only (api blocked in OneUI5)
Others
Battery protection mod (Experimental)
-Option to set maximum charge to 86%-95%(for OneUI4+)[premium]
Quick resolution switcher
-Easily switch to any supported resolutions using the included quick setting tile***
-Tasker plugin support
Caution!! Be careful on applying CQHD+ on Note20Ultra with OneUI4.* - it causes the UI to shrink after reboot or long sleep that causes difficulty on entering the lockscreen.
Customizable refresh rate monitor
-Use statusbar or overlay which you can place anywhere on screen.
-Tasker plugin support.
Net speed statusbar indicator
OneUI inspired UI. Dynamic theme and Icon. Manual language selection
Note: The premium license is on a per device basis (not per user).
***these marked features require a one-time ADB procedure (this is not root)
Galaxy Max Hz background service is highly optimized. Background battery usage p is very negligible .[/TD]
Info:
This app targets older android sdk in order to control refresh rates without ADB setup or root. Just tap OK the dialog that says "This app was built for an older version of Android...." when opened for the first time. If OK button is not visible, just tap the blank space on the lowest portion of the dialog.
If google play protect will prompt during install that the app is built for older version of android and doesn't include the latest privacy protections, you can ignore it and proceed to the installation. For privacy related concern, please refer to FAQ No. 3.

I think it will. It's the same adaptive motion smoothness.

Love having the fps toggle in the qs. Thanks for the update.
Dumb question tho; does this change anything when set to 120hz? Most thing's I'm reading are people setting it lower to save battery and all. Just curious.
Thanks for the app

Thanks for the app! Great design. I have noticed that 96hz drops more regularly to 60hz than 120hz seems to. Is this the expected behaviour of the two modes?

You will not be able to see it on full screen apps like most of the games.
The screen doesn't seem to fall below 60fps even when idling. Is that normal? I thought it is supposed to drop to around 10fps when idling. Can you, please, explain how the stock behavior is?
Edit: I read in other threads that the Adaptive Refresh of the Note 20 U almost never drops below 60fps, and sometimes very rarely drops to 48hz. So despite Samsung's claims, it seems that the screen does not, in fact, ever drop to ~10 under any circumstances. I think Samsung could push an update to improve this, and thereby improving battery life.
