[Q] How to change auto-brightness sensitivity - HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera

I want to change my auto-brightness sensitivity.
Im not talking about manualy changing brightness. I still want my phone to use sensor in order to regulate brightness, but i want every level to be a little bit brighter overall.

That's an coincidence. I was just searching the forum to see if a similar question has been asked... I've noticed varying min / max brightness levels on a variety of builds and I was wondering if there was something I could tweak to change those values (my goal is to get zero to represent something akin to "very dim" (not off), as the builds I've used over the last couple of months have been oh so bright.
Anyone know or point us to a resource that might tell us?

We have same problem and i havent seen anyone talking about this. I also noticed its different from build to build. And my latest problem is brightness is too low on recent build im using.
Any help would be appriciated from anyone.

Only thing I can tell you is CM6.1 based builds have those features built in, but I'm not aware of ways to do it for all builds.
JDMS has those features built in as well.

I wonder if it really is auto-brightness or just a kind of work-around. Looking at the ambient light sensor with the app GPS-Status, there are only two values: 10 LUX if darkness is around, and 160 LUX if any light hits the sensor. It seems not really precise...

Kernel makers, please add the ability to adjust auto brightness.

Please add the option of modifying auto-brightness levels, like CM 6.1. I suppose that it would require a kernel modification + an app to do this through gui.
Thanks.
What can CM do? I've been thinking it would be nice to be able to modify the min and max, and maybe the curve.

It allows one to arbitrarily edit a table of sensor output vs brightness/button brightness.
It's really nifty.
CM6.1 reports these sensor values:
10, 160, 225, 320, 640, 1280, 2600, 10240
10-160 is in dimly lit indoors, 320-640-1280, in moderately to brightly lit indoors, and the rest is outside.
So I set those to brightness something like 50,60,70,80, 110, 140, 180, 255. A it was perfect to my eye. Not too bright, not too dim.
Didn't ever have to mess with brightness after that.
I'd really like to hear from developers like Netarchy and King, as well as from regular users - if they would like that option.
I would love to see this.
I always feel the auto-sensor tends to be too bright, and never adjusts the screen low enough inside.

That's exactly what I think. Plus, the brightness is not at maximum in direct sunlight (although that might be a safety feature).
Mine always send to bright, or it won't get bright when I go into a bright area until I sleep and wake it. :|

+1 on this. So motivated that I searched for this thread....
Any news?

The stock auto-brightness is way too bright in completely darkness. This is one of the things I had on my list nearly since the beginning. Nobody else seemed to care.

Do people not notice this or do they just not care?
Pretty sure people have given up on this. It's taken me three days of Google searching to find this thread so people probably don't know where to turn.
The lack of adjustments to the auto brightness values is extremely annoying. Even my old Windows mobile 6 phones had this ability.

There was an application for WM I used to use on my Mogul, cant remember what it was called but it allowed you to calibrate the auto brightness levels. Anyone know what I'm talking about, or if there's an Android version?
This can be done with Tasker in the Market. Its a powerful app and there was a thread a while back about this exact thing. I don't remember what it was called, but I posted in it, so you could browse my posts from a month or so ago.
Hey... This thing makes phone calls too!

[Q] Adjust screen bightness

Hi everyone!
maybe you noted that the lg screen is too bright! even in low setting it is almoust unusable in the dark (night)!
Is there someone who knows a way to change the value of brightness of the presets (maybe a regystry tweak)?
I thinks it will be usefull for a lot of people. . . thanks for the help!
I find the low setting to be... quite dark.
Perhaps try setting your theme to Black instead of White...

The low setting is dark in a bright place of course. But if you are in dark, the lowest set for becklit, is too bright. I'll post a link with technical conparison between screens.
here is the link with some data:
http://www.anandtech.com/show/3982/windows-phone-7-review/28
I'm bothered by this too. Does anyone know how to set it to a reasonably low value, so that text can be easily read in the dark? (white text, black background)
I found something in the registry related to brightness, but it seems to be already set to the lowest value (0).

Just bought it,and i noticed this too high brightness too...any way to adjust it?
Same here. This is really starting to bother me...
I've already tried messing around with several values in the registry values with no luck... I suspect this can only be solved with drivers and/or firmware. Maybe if enough people complain about this they will change it in a future firmware?

Done.
They told me no one had reported about this issue yet, and that they would call me back somewhere over the next few weeks, after their engineers discussed it.
In other words, we need a lot more complaints to achieve this...
(Bump)
Out of curiosity, has anyone else done the same? Several people complained here, but this topic is now suspiciously quiet...
You guys sure you don't have the Automatically adjust setting ON?
Stupid question I know, but I need my 8 posts to post links for my mini PDAir LG Optimus 7 Aluminum case review.
Agreed the LG screen is ridiculously bright on both the Lo and Automatic setting in darkness.
I can't use it in bed as it lights up the whole room, and it causes far too much glare in the car at night so no good for SatNav etc.
Surely it would be better for battery life too if the backlight wasn't burning a hole in my eyes!
Data from link above. Obviously LG need to recalibrate their presets:
Brightness Comparison (White Point)
Phone Low Medium High
HTC Surround 10.4 nits 183.1 nits 405.7 nits
LG Optimus 7 130.4 nits 259.1 nits 381.2 nits
Samsung Focus 61.9 nits 143.1 nits 234.3 nits
LG Service Sites - email your local office to request a fix:
http://www.lg.com/global/supports/service-sites.jsp
Don't know if they will bother fixing this on the E900 (here's hoping) although you would expect it to included in the refresh Mango E906?
Did anyone of you use the amazon Kindle app on lg optimus 7? You can adjust the brightness so damn low within this app...

CM9 devs and users attention please! Severe clipping in CM9 based ROMS

I have installed Paranoid Android on my Note and noticed that there is severe clipping in the CM9 UI elements. Even the default ICS wallpaper , the one with the"rainbow" coloing stripes show severe clipping on the lockscreen. It looks just plain ugly. And since most of the CM9 UI backgrounds are a shade of grey, there is severe clipping of these grey elements to a purplish pixellation and to black. You can notice this if you take the settings page in Paranoid android or any other CM9 based ROM (assuming most CM9 based ROMS have the same default theme) Look under the status bar where the grey background fades to black and you may notice severe pixellation like issues at that area. Now, go to advanced, screen settings and MDNIE mode, you will notice that the clipping keeps changing when changing modes but its still there in every screen mode.
How many of you are experiencing this? Assuming a majority of the people who run Custom ROMS run a CM9 based ROM, why isnt this issue reported anywhere? I'm asking because, the issue is plainly visible in these grey areas and UI elements making the visual experience really bad. And why is Gamma Control disabled in these CM9 kernels? I believe lowering the gamma would solve the problem.
I've noticed that CM9 kernels have the worst clipping whereas in other stock based kernels, the clipping is comparitively lower, closer to the stock kernels.
So once again users of CM9, please do report if you face this issue.
CM9 users please report back because I havent seen anybody talking about this issue in any of the CM9 related ROMS thread. People seem to ignore an issue which stares back right at the face even in ambient lighting. Why havent this been reported?
I dont have much idea about who develops CM9 kernels for the note. How can we contact the CM9 developers and let them know of this issue and request to enable Gamma Control within the kernel?
Somebody please help me out here. Because its been a month after I bought my note and I've been struggling and doing my best to find a solution to this horrible clipping. I had got in touch with GSMArena and got this issue published, yet Samsung never responded, I tried kernel after kernel and realised that the intensity of the issue varies from kernel to kernel. I've seen that whomever I ask about the clipping in this forum says they have it but then everyone seems to be happy running different ROMS and in these CM9 based ROMs which look as close to stock Google ICS UI have severe clipping all over the UI and yet people dont seem to bother.
So what can I conclude from this? Is this an isolated issue or are all of you Note users who have this issue just keeping silent and living with it?
I do not mean to spoil anybody's peace or anything. I clearly dont know how to get in touch with the CM9 devs for the Note, somebody help me if possible. And if you feel that this is an isolated issue, do let me know otherwise. Because, when the basic UI shows severe clipping, the whole user experience is spoiled and nobody wants to live in fear with bright UI elements and bright wallpapers dreading the clipping if anything at all has to be dark. We paid a premium for this device and even Samsung seems to ignore. I have the SGS3 and there is no clipping on it but just that everything seems darker on the GS3 when compared to the Note. This alone shows that Gamma is a culprit here and I could just sell away my Note and just live with the GS3. But that doesn't help anybody who is facing this issue and wants to see a solution. Even I personally like the note more than the GS3 and I want to keep it but for this issue. Not everybody has the money to jump to the next flagship every now and then and for the people who spent their money on the Note doesn't have to "live with it" just because they decided to buy it without knowing such an issue existed. Not every store lets you try and trial their devices before buying them.
Samsung has even seemed to ignore the EMMC issue even after claiming they are "working on it" I dont see anything productive from Samsung's side as even a device which was previously unaffected had the affected kernels pushed to it via an update. So basically if it was not for people like Entropy who works day and night for that issue, Samsung could keep replacing motherboards for every random wipe a user does. They basically want to sell the note until the Note 2 and then this wouldn't be their problem anymore. Problems like the emmc bug is a MISTAKE from Samsung's part and they should be ready to repair devices even beyond warranty as the user may have only done the most harmless thing, i.e to reset the device to factory settings.
So, coming back to topic, how do we get in touch with the CM9 devs and enable gamma control on these ROMs? Most ROMS have gamma control under MDNIE settings which is greyed out, most probably because the kernel doesnt support it. This is the best I can do for the people who are affected by the clipping issue as I'm not a developer. This issue isnt an isolated case in my opinion and affects every Note I've got a chance to see.
It might help if you actually posted requests in the cm9 discussion thread? #commonsense

Yeah. OP is TL;DR complaining about some "severe" issue I've never seen and no one else has.
As to gamma control being disabled - I should remove that from the settings app, as that's something supported by the I9100/I777 display driver but not ours.

Oops..I'm sorry for the long post. Its basically about the severe "black clipping" which has been affecting the Note since release. This issue is best seen when displaying dark shadows in images and videos. There were many threads discussing this issue. And GSMArena had published this issue in their news after I mailed them about the same.
What I wanted to tell was, I feel this is caused by the Note's screen having the gamma cranked up quite high and I believe lowering the gamma would resolve this issue.
The default CM9 theme shows severe clipping in backgrounds and UI elements. All the grey backgrounds, (the default theme) clip to black just below the status bar.
Even all the videos which have dark shadows are totally blocky due to this and the clipping makes them literally unwatchable.
I had reported this issue to GSMArena
http://www.gsmarena.com/samsung_galaxy_note_plagued_by_display_issues-news-4513.php
I wanted the Gamma Control feature which is presently disabled to be enabled in the CM9 kernels so that we can tune down the Gamma to eliminate this clipping
The same issues existed on the GNexus and was fixed with the Lean Kernel which had Gamma Tuning.
So once again, in short, I'm talking about the "Black clipping\crush" on the Note when displaying darker shades of colours.
All the notes have this problem, and we need to access to gamma control but as supercurio said it won't solve all the problems of the black clipping and banding issues

Satishp, i know what are you talking about. Just take a picture of your note and post it here. Of course, you won't use a screenshot feature but a camera.
I sold my note bc of the black clipping issue, but now I cannot buy an s3 or HoX cause their screens are just to small, that is, narrow. Gonna buy Note again and hope some solution will come out. It is too bad to buy a phone for its screen and get a crappy quality. Issue on s3 is solved with lowered gamma. Comparing with the Note, s3 has much darker screen. Sometimes too much.

All of the speculation and misinformation of this issue is really starting to get frustrating. First, the issue IS with the hardware. It may be possible to reduce it's impact using software but the fact remains this is a hardware issue. How do I know? I have replaced my Note's screen and the newer screen I have isn't as good as the old one.
The new one isn't awful, it simply isn't as good as the other.
2nd point - everyone will have this issue. It is simply an inherent problem with the screen hardware and it is completely implausible that there are 1 or 2 'perfect' screens out there. There will simply be variations. Some people WILL have better screens than others. For some people the issue may be completely unnoticeable and for others it will be glaringly obvious. Don't judge or hate on people because their screen is worse than yours and vice versa.
3rd the issue is MORE noticeable at lower brightness values than high brightness values. If you have your note on higher brightness values then you're unlikely to notice it. In my case, I can not see any clipping if I am in a lit room. The only time I can see it is when I'm sat in the dark with very low brightness. As I said above this will vary from person to person.
I have attached 2 photos below. One is a normal exposure where you can see the clipping is hard to see. Another is a long exposure which amplifies the issue more and makes it more noticeable (I used a longer exposure on my camera to show this). Fortunately it isn't so bad for me, but for some people my long exposure image is the reality unfortunately.
Standard: http://i48.tinypic.com/4uxnia.jpg
Long Exposure: http://i48.tinypic.com/5akew3.jpg
Why have we got a clipping problem and can software solve it? I believe it is highly unlikely that this issue can be solvable. I also think the issue stems from one simple shortcoming to the screen; the minimum brightness achievable per pixel. The problem is the jump from this minimum brightness to the 'off' (perfectly black) pixel is too great. There is no transition. Can gamma control solve this? I'm not convinced. I think the issue is more to do with what the lowest pixel brightness the screen is capable of. For the poorer people this minimum brightness will be quite bright. For others the minimum brightness will be lower.
If any devs know of a way of controlling pixel brightness on a level where it can be noticeably changed and if it is possible to reduce this minimum brightness then sure, it would certainly be a possibility. But I don't think this is possible.
Part of this might be a limitation of the HD Pentile AMOLED technology. But if you notice, both the Galaxy Nexus and the Galaxy S3 share the same technology. For people who argue that the S3 uses a different manufacturing procedure, Samsung has no where mentioned this and its just an assumption.
The GNexus had the same issue but was solved with the LEAN kernel which implemented a gamma control within the kernel. If you've seen the S3's screen ( I own an S3 too, So I've spent a good time comparing), you will notice that the S3's screen is visibly darker than the Note's screen. Images tend to look darker and this shows that the S3's screen has its gamma set to a lower value which eliminates the clipping.
More proof for you, lets take the gammatest image and view it on our PC. Most PCs use an LCD display and still you can see the greys gradually fading to black.
Now increase the gamma of your display from your display adapter's color settings and view the same image again. You will see that you can see all the way upto 1 and then black just like how the image is displayed by the note.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1800117
Now view a 720p or 1080p clip on your PC with the gamma values still high, you will see the clipping in every dark scene. Try it yourself.
This shows that gamma calibration can correct the issue to atleast some extent.
Hmm. There appears to be truth in what you say. Unfortunately the Note is lacking somewhat in the developer department. And the few devs there are have other pressing issues to deal with so the question becomes who can implement gamma control on the Note?

I have the clipping regardless of which mode I put it in, apart from the clipping the screen is mint, which makes me even more pissed off when I watch a movie and a dark scene comes on, then the shade between black and grey turns into a lego block mess. I really cant beleive so many people are happy with it, half of u guys must be blind, I exchanged my Note twice, tested my cousins and my bosses Notes, all have the exact same problem. I even bluetoothed the gamma test image to a few in carphone warehouse , same with them, even the samsung rep I spoke to over the phone said the one they have in the office also has the issue. Total crap imo, Samsung total FAIL.

Please take a picture if your note displaying the gamma test image (blocks numbered 1 to 20) with stock gallery app in a dark room, screen mode dynamic, max brightnes with auto adjust switched off, I bet number 4 is light grey, then number 3 is black, if so your device has black clipping. There should be no abrupt drop from grey to black, it should be a gentle fade.
Thanks.

[Q] How to make brightness below factory's minimum?

Good day or night everyone!
I am trying to get below the minimum level of brightness, that can be reached in android 4.2.2 on Nexus 7. To read at night and save battery.
I've read many threads, but found no answer. SreenDim, Lux Auto Brightness and analogs on CM10.1 doesnot lower the level more. They just stop really lowering it beginning from 5 or 10%, depending on measurment they use.
Does this mean, that Nexus 7 brightness can't be lower than the one on original Android Jelly Bean?
Please, don't suggest any screen filters, that are not phisically lowering the LCD backlight lamp's brightness.

I suppose you could clone somebody's kernel from their git tree and build your own kernel with your mods added.
You might want to follow this post in the M-kernel thread. Not sure if other existing kernels drop the default - try searching in some of the kernel threads.
1. Install M-Kernel
2. Install rootdim
3. Ruin your eyes by staring at screens at night.

Dunno. Not an expert on this topic. FWIW, I read between the lines in that post that if you lower the minimum a lot, you will probably want to completely turn off auto brightness control, as the minimum brightness interval step size gets (relatively) large so any slewing of brightness will look like bad flickering.
(Sort of make me wonder if many of the "my screen has bad flicker" reports come from the same people that have their brightness turned all the way down...)

[Q] Way TOOO dim

I guess I should have done my research about OLED screens, but I feel that this screen is way too dim both indoors and outdoors. Is anyone else having problems with this? I know that the peak brightness is 475 on autobrightness, but I feel that the screen never reaches that. On another note, the colors seem very saturated and unreal even on movie mode...
Is there any way I can set the autobrightness to kick in at a higher lux indoors? I know it seems like I am venting, but I really like this phone but the display brightness may make me abandon for the Nexus 5...
Thank you everyone!

Root the phone and install a custom ROM. That will give you the ability to change the auto brightness levels easily.
You could also turn off auto brightness and set it manually so you fan boost it all the way up whenever you wanted.
As far as the hardware capabilities the screen is capable of being plenty bright. I could see mine if I was standing on the face of the sun.

I don't know much about custom TW ROMs as I run aosp exclusively. I know its easy in cm ROMs. If its not a native feature of Omega I'm sure there is a mod you can tweak it with. You would have to search though. I don't know where to direct you.
