Tried looking in this forum but nothing to disable this swipe brightness changer on the notification bar.
I really hope someone can help me with this , my biggest problem is that whenever i put my phone to my ear during a call it triggers this stupid shortcut and keeps increasing my brightness.
Is there anyway I can disable this shortcut or a status bar replacement that might not involve this setting ?
Thanks

This was commonly a good thing for most users, you can set your brigthness settings to auto adjust and you will no longer have this issue.
This way you screen adjusts automatically the brightness level and blocks the "manual brigthness" setting from the notification bar.
Hope it helps, this is the only method I know to change this.
Thanks but I am trying to keep it to minimum brightness all the time to save as much battery as possible. I have an app that changes between 0 and 50% if i need a brightness increase.
So if i use auto brightness is there a way i can set the sensor / auto brightness levels to only be 0 ?
Thanks

Evening all
I'm after a widget so i can dim the screen more easily than dropping into setting after setting.
There's loads i hear you shout..
Well all i've tried set the screen nice and dim for the screen only to getting brighter again as soon as the app is closed. I've tried it with auto adjust brightness on and off and all allow the system to revert back to the initial brightness set.
Help before the wife kills me while i midnight browse in bed.
All of the widgets i have used do the same thing as you describe. The 'Toggle Settings' app works fine for me though.
EDIT: no it doesn't. Arse.
yup tried that and failed lol
also tried making a short cut to the systems settings for brightness but failed on that as well.
Noticed something possibly odd about this- The brightness scales on Toggle Settings and in the actual settgngs menu have a different scale. It's possible to make the TOggle Settings app say that you have minus 10% brightness.
I've no idea if that helps
anything new about this? i tried some, but they all changed the brightness for a short time, and then the hero changed it back
Hi all,
I found that the default auto brightness setting always render the screen darker than my favourite. For certain I want to keep the adaptive approach (i.e. the screen brightness will change according to my physical enviornment), however I would like to fine tune it such that it will always return a +1 / +2 brightness on top of the default return. Do anyone know any apps / tricks can I do so?
p.s. I know I can place an widget to manual adjust the brightness, but I am now looking for a way to fine tune the automated value.
Thanks all!

Did you ever solve this. Posted numerous times about a similar issue but never really found a proper solution.
You can use Tasker. Set up profiles for depending how much the light sensor sees, you can have the brightness exactly how you want. Note: You need to disable auto brightness for this to work.
Looked on google for this and found other people asking about it but no answer so far.
If i leave the screen brightness set to auto-adjust, the phone NEVER adjust the screen brightness down to it's lowest setting, even if i am sitting in a pitch dark room. Is there some way to adjust the range of the brightness setting so that it will actually use the lowest brightness? It seems beyond stupid that in a pitch dark room the screen doesn't go down to it's lowest level.
Most of the time i find the screen to be too bright, so if i could adjust the auto-brightness over-all to be darker, that would be cool too.
failing that, is there an app that makes adjusting the brightness quicker then digging down into the settings to move the slider?
thanks
I use widgetsoid (free) from the market place to do what you speak of and 7 other things as well.
i think i already have something that does what it looks like widgetsoid does. I have a button on the screen that i can tap that switches the screen between 3 brightness settings. i was just wondering if there was one where you could tap and get a slider. Seems silly to have the actual slider itself on the screen since that would take up so much room. But a button that would open up into a slider would be nice.
I'd still prefer to be able to adjust the autobrightness settings and use that if possible.
You can set autobrightness levels with tasker. There's a thread floating around with details.
Sent from my blah blah blah blah

Again, Widgetsoid does this. Once it is setup, modify, settings/Brightness Modes and set it Custom (Seekbar) or use one of the other 2 settings. You can change those as well with custom. Exit. Go to toggle and you have slider with one click on one button, which option of adding 7 more.

ah ok, cool, thanks. I'm going to see if i can find the thread about tasker since i'd prefer to have auto-brightness working better. if that fails then i'll give widgetsoid a try.
thank you
Just what I was looking for Screen brightness less then 10% and Less then Curvefish's toggle to 4%. I was looking for the 1% brighness and I think i got with the Widgetsoid only compaint is no exit after setting... Thanks
Hi all,
Just switched from CM to MIUI and so far quite liking the change. There are a couple of features from CM which I am missing a little and wondered whether there were any mods for them:
Ability to change brightness quickly by pulling top bar down slightly and adjusting left and right. Is there a patch around for this?
Abilitiy to tweak auto-brightness levels
Any other tips about MIUI worth knowing?
Cheers,
MIchael
try changing your toggle settings to page instead of compact. As for tweaking the auto settings..not sure about that

cheers for the reply... should have been more specific. On CM (and my last phone - Galaxy S) it was possible to pull the notification bar down slightly and then drag left to right to adjust. Was always nice an easy to do when out and about in bright sunlight when you cant see anything on the screen.
a brightness slider in the notification bar? ive never seen this but im interested
i thought the button in the notification bar was the only option

what I am talking about isnt a visible slider... its quite hard to explain but is demonstrated in this vid http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EgIaVNzwhjk . Its an option you can turn on somewhere in the CM settings
also, have found how to adjust auto-brightness levels in MIUI so ignore that request, just need to see if this brightness slider is possible.
Pull down the notification shade. If it is in page view, hit the backlight button. Once you hit the backlight button, a slider will appear on the bottom of the shade and you can adjust the brightness. It will be there any time you adjust the shade.
If your shade is in toggle view, put it in page view by hitting Settings>personal>toggle>page
Hope that helps
U can set max brightness by pressing together menu button and volume up
understand what you are asking for since I use CM a lot
but not available that way in MIUI yet
Actually, cyber, my slider don't even work
Hi,
Is the auto brightness level customizable? I keep moving the slide down but it keeps moving to almost full brightness.
Thanks
Just click the QS Tile named "Auto Brightness" or something like that

I know how to turn it on. But it keeps the phone at almost max brightness all the time. It didn't use to be like this in Oreo

You can adjust auto brightness level by moving manual level brightness bar.

That was my thinking too, but it doesn't seem to work, after a few seconds the bar goes right were it was before I move it
On the street it's always stuck on max brightness, it doesn't even let me change it to some other value

It's because you're on street, on daylight. You can change brightness but after some time it will go up. If you want set it manually, turn autobrightness of and manually slide the slider
