Lower screen brightness - Galaxy S I9000 General

Is there any tweak or app to lower the screen brightness more than possible by default? for me its way too bright when using the phone in the dark. (And for my wife too, since she can't sleep with my phone lightening up the entire bedroom :-| )

I also have the same issue
Even on lowest level, it is way too bright in bedroom at night

Same here, my wife is kicking me out of bed soon and then i have to go back too my iphone :-(

same here ...
I have the feeling that just before the screen switch off the brightness is a little bit lower ...
Even this brigthness would be better and would probably save some battery

Same - I was thinking of posting this question myself.

It's not like it makes significant difference though.

Not only it hurts my eyes at night, the brightness also drain juice at an accelerated manner
Mod or help is greatly appreciated.

Can we switch to a night mode like on the iPad or others? Black background and white text?

I found it to be slightly more tolerable at the 2 setting. But I agree the lowest setting is still too bright

Who know's. Maybe it's the lighting when you are walking between rooms or going from indoor to outdoors that has you thinking otherwise.
Personally, I use Brightness Level (CurveFish) from the Market. It's one of my favorite widgets simply because I can toggle on the fly. I have never noticed my screen brightness increasing when using it.

Reduced brightness kernel support

Does anyone know of any kernel that supports reduced brightness anymore? Voodoo used to before it went all audiophile on us.
The screen brightness is raping my eyes and screen filter makes colours look horrid.
Even typing this is giving me a headache

Yellow Tint

So on low brightness the whites seem a bit yellow. Can anyone confirm this?

I think I got ripped off. My phone doesn't have a love brightness setting :/

Its a common problem, at 0% brightness white is a tad yellow but still its much better than having blue/green or pink tint.I've tested lots of S3's in various stores all shows same phenomenon so getting your set swapped wont solve any purpose.

Well even at high brightness settings it looks a bit yellow. When I tilt the phone it looks more white and when I tilt it back you can clearly see the white is a bit yellow.

Yes its a "Bit" yellow on low brightness but on high brightness mine is pure white, its common with AMOLED they are unable to attain LCD whites.However this doesn't bother me much because I'm used to it now, keep in mind its not an tint screen is tuned bit warmer.
Ahh so it isn't just me

You bet!
Well.. It even seems to be a pretty pink compared to the GS Plus. Both at full brightness.
Sent from my GT-I9100 using XDA
I think it's configured this way because blue pixels expire the quickest in amoled screens </not expert opinion>.
In either case, past phones have been able to use color controls like supercurio's app to change the tint. (And, by then you might've gotten used to it anyway.)

Sorry couldn't resist lol. My Spell Wrecker does that too.
Does it matter which screen setting you have enabled in the Settings app or is it on all of them?

I just checked it against my Note and mine is pinkish. It isn't distinguishable when not doing the comparison though.
Sent from my GT-I9300
Stop comparing displays and enjoy your S3.
I didn't notice it before the comparison and I don't notice it now. Only during. It is a non issue for me
This phone is great. No complaints here.

Nexus 4 display and speaker

I usually keep my phones on full brightness. I'll deal with the battery draining because I love how it looks with full brightness. Has anyone noticed the display on the n4 kind of adjusting sometimes. I have noticed sometimes it changes to a little darker or a little brighter while using the phone.
I also noticed when I am talking on the phone with the speaker on sometimes it shuts when opening an application or sometimes even without opening an app and switches to regular ear piece. Sometimes it will stay on speaker but go lower.
Anyone having these issues? Its not a deal breaker or anything I still love it. I know phones will always have their issues, I've had ever nexus and the g1. I just want to know if other people are having this issue.

Its not auto brightness, my phone does the same thing. Its hardly noticeable but I find it strange too

My guess is glitch hardware. Lg is known for making inconsistent quality. Terrible QA. Just because its made in Korea doesn't means its better than in China.

I don't know how you can use this display on full brightness it's too damn bright! Strains my eyes. lol I tend to keep mine around the 25% mark
It's adaptive contrast, runs independent of your brightness settings and there's not an option to disable it. You probably notice it most when moving from a largely black screen to a white one.
I think I remember first hearing about it's use in a Galaxy S2 review, my TV does the same thing on its dynamic setting.

Eye Strain?

Wondering if anyone else had this problem. After playing games (both tekkin 3 and hill racing) I notice that my vision is blurry and I feel kind of dizzy. This has happened 4+ times so far. What I did is lowered my brightness settings all the way to 0 but I still get the same problem (although I think its less severe).
Anyone please help? I dont want to have to change phones since I love this one and have bought many accessories (palm touchstone chargers, cases, gameklip,ect).
Hehe actually I do experience blury vision after im playing awhile

Yeah, Screen Filter can help, but I myself actually find the display of my S3 a relief after a whole day od LCD screens (work+home).
Glad it aint just me.

Thanks going to try that. Is there anyway to increase the range of brightness settings in the kernal so we dont have to run an app? Using CM kernal. Hopefully there is a way.
