So my original brightness setting was automatic and i was using it at bed one night. Decided it was too bright and brought the slider down to the minimum. The next day, I forgot all about it and used it as per normal. The brightness didnt even affect me. Before the streak, i was on the iphone 4 and when the brightness was low, its obvious.
I think the brightness could go even less before it becomes unreadable.

I made a post about this very thing not to long ago. Auto and lowest setting suck when in a pitch black room.

I agree the screen brightness is not dim enough at the lowest setting. Imagine the addition batterylife that would be saved if the streak could dim the screen even further . Maybe its a simple fix with next rom update, dell is aware of it.

If your Streak is rooted there's an app on the market called AdjBrightness that will do what you need. I think the Streak on it's own will only go to 30%, AdjBrightness lets you take it down to 5%.
My screen flicker when I reach less than 10% with adj screen brightness. Am I the only one ?

If you click on the clock icon in the menu to bring up the clock, on that main page there is an icon on the top right, looks like a sun icon half colored in. Click on that and the brightness goes way down, so i know it can be set lower. I think its a sleep mode or something

Wow, weird. Now, with that app installed, my extended control widget back light button controls the button backlights. Weird ****

I noticed this as well, also I don't think the ambient light sensor is sensitive enough or not working at all because when I set mine to auto it doesn't adjust at all.
If your not rooted, check out the app screen filter.

hmmm, this app doesnt lower the backlight levels, but rather applys a darker tint/filter. kinda defeats the idea of saving batterylife.

Well the idea for me isn't saving battery, it not getting blinded in the dark room, such as in the middle of the night when I get a text and open the WHITE screen to read it

Well the display isn't as bright so in fact it does save battery...
And like the previous person, I don't use it to save battery but for when I'm using the device in a very dark area like before I go to sleep and I want to use the device.

Hi guys just want to ask if this is normal? cause whenever my X10's battery reaches 10% or below(blinking red LED) the screen automatically changes it's brightness, can i turn this feature off(if it IS normal)? cause i can't use my phone properly especially during daytime when the screen's brightness is sow low...
yep, happens me too.. when you have normal power, go to display settings and set brightness to 80 or 90% then whenever the screen dims just go to that setting again and uncheck automatic brightness.

So i still have to go to the settings and set it the brightness for the screen to be brighter?...cause it's such a hassle to do that every time my screen turns off...
ya i think so, i couldnt work out a way to keep it bright. got to admit it is relly annoying..

Yeah...hopefully someone could share us some light...
This is not being caused by the auto-brightness. I turned auto-brightness.off weeks ago, and still have the screen fun at 10% battery or less. I think it has more to do with power conservation.

I agree. But i don't see any settings that allows me to turn it off...
Control your brightness when you slide your fingers across the top of it from left to right?
Mine does and I'm not sure if it did the first few days or even if it is supposed to....
Thanks
It only does it if auto brightness is off.

I was just gonna post I found that out too.. Thanks now I know my device isnt defective...
Holy crap, that's awesome! Finding out new cool **** with this phone everyday!
Cool. Nice find with that one. I just use the power settings widget to switch between the set brightness levels (keeping it on the lowest setting).
This was a thread in the Galaxy S forum and I tested it to make sure it worked on mine a few hours ago
Great find, thanks.
I am getting use to touch wiz. I don't know why people don't like tw. It has some good feature s.

Wow, that's seriously awesome. Now I have no need for the automatic brightness, which always seems to keep the screen darker than I'd like.
This is pure awesomeness now that I know about this! I had just added the Power Control Widget so I could turn brightness up/down whenever I needed to. This is much, much easier and what I wanted since I can control everything else from the notifications already and faster.
My screen has randomly brightened or dimmed and I didn't know why. This explains a lot.

Same here. All of a sudden it would be to the lowest brightness level then it'd be the highest and I'd be so confused on why it kept changing.
@sl8125: People didn't like TouchWiz because the previous version of TouchWiz was awful.
I have my brightness setting as low as it will go. At night (darkness) it's still too bright. Is there a way to get the brightness even lower? Thanks.
i've been wondering this too, haha
i just keep everything on the lowest, and make sure the browser setting are adjusted too
Any solution yet?
Has any one found a way to this cos the brightness really hurts my eyes at night!
Thanks.
Try an app called dimmer in the market.It will set brightness to 10. The default low point is 30

use a voodoo kernel with colorfix. the lowest brightness setting will be suitable at night after installation.

Thank you - I've been looking for something like this since I got my Vibrant. I'm also going to try Screen Filter and see which one works better.
Man screen filter works perfectly! ..cept for notification bar
Been trying to figure this out forever

I have the lowest setting for the screen brightness but i noticed that it never stays on the lowest setting and seems to go a little brighter... prolly why my battery has been dying quicker this week... any explanation?

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.
Anyone have image burn yet? I already have the top bar burned in my screen from lack of rotating the screen. I got my device release date and used auto brightness since.
I've had s3 s4 and n2 and haven't had an issue so quickly before

Launch day device here. Full brightness about 90-95% of the time. Auto for remaining. Not a single issue with image burn. 5-6hrs screen on time every day.

Yeah that's crazy. My friend uses full brightness since launch day and doesn't have an issue either. And uses it for at least 3-4 hrs a day. But maybe he rotated his screen more often or didn't leave it on as long

Haha yeah I work in an EXTREMELY WELL LIT medical device manufacturing plant. Its like being outside in the sun, which ironically, you'd think would need less brightness but just the opposite is true.
Using Nova Launcher, I turned Status Bar to transparent. Dont have to worry about a bar at the top and it just plain looks better being transparent.

Check out the screen burn in tool in the app store. Not a lot of downloads but good reviews after letting it run on low brightness over night.
