I got my Nexus 7 8GB this morning from Google Play and I don't notice a difference between automatic brightness, minimal brightness, and maximum brightness. If there is a change between these settings it is very very slight. I've already been updated to JRO03D and I've done a factory reset and I still can't notice a difference. Is there something I'm missing or something I can do to fix this?
i read somewhere on here last night that their 16 was not as bright as their friends 8...i have a 16, so i decided to check this out
i turned the lights off and went from min to max...it went up incrementally until 70% when it seemed to plateau
anyone else noticing this with their 16 (or 8)?

Display Brightness problem with my Galaxy S
Hi I have bit of a problem with my galaxy S' display. The display uses a ton of power (90% +, going down 1% every 2-3 minutes with display on) as per the OS usage data. I have not experienced brightness settings / power saving mode as having any effect in terms of extending my battery life.
Now here's why I think there might be something wrong with my phone. I know two other people that also have a Galaxy S. We come together often last time I noticed their displays are MUCH MUCH brighter. I took all three phones on the table and noticed that regardless of the brightness level I set on all three phones, whether it be the minimum brightness setting or full brightness (all 3 phones SAME settings of course) mine is always the darkest. Also their phones display 40-60 % from the total power used by their display's rather than mine always showing 90%+.
I tried a battery recalibration etc this doesn't do anything in my view. After trying some great suggestion on this forum, I alway set the display to its lowest brightness setting, still no difference.
One of those other phones is running the same S/W as mine (doc's rom JPA) the other is still on JM2, so I can definitely exclude the firmware version as a cause.
Any thoughts suggestions as to how to solve this? Or might I just as well stop bother with that and have Samsung exchange the phone's display?
I have the same problem.. Did you find a solution?

Hi, No unfortunately I didn't. It is kinda strange I'm not getting any response on this thread. If you and I are having the same issue, I find it hard to believe we'd be the only ones!
There is a "smart management" option under settings (saves battery). This seems to change contrast etc when enabled and makes screen dimmer. I have to SGSs and I can confirm that, Check it and tell me whether it worked.
nb: this option will make a full white screen dimmer than if you have half white and half black (the white will be brighter in the second case - probably to improve contrast).
Hmm.. this is what I did.. I placed the brightness slider to the left and switched on the automatic brightness control. Now battery use does not show 50% or more in average use, but seems normal, like it was before froyo
Smart Management is off
Hi,
I've done some considerable searching and can't seem to find an answer to my problem. My battery breakdown has been extremely skewed ever since I upgraded to a rooted, odexed gingerbread 2 days ago.
Display 74%
Standby 8%
Idle 6%
Android system 5%
This is causing my phone to run really hot (100F +) without doing a single task (in the awake state on home screen) and the battery is draining faster than i thought possible. I thought it might be because i had old firmware but updated to the latest radio, wimax, and pri this morning. It only seems to have made it worse.
Any help would be appreciated!!
Have you checked your brightness settings? I would turn Auto-bright off and set your own brightness.
I was having the same issue when I upgraded to rooted 2.3. My brightness somehow was set at 100% and I never noticed it for over a week. Battery only last me about 5 hours.
Yes.. I have tried everything to do with actual display settings.
I even tried flashing a totally new ROM (fresh evo).
Still have the unprecedented display power demand
I'm sure you realize that the percentages that you see will always equal 100% of the battery used since last on the charger.I feel its good that everything is low compared to the screen, as it is supposed to be the resource hog. Am I wrong in thinking this way?
The attached images should speak for themselves. My brightness settings are at their lowest, at least the one I could find is. But still the consumption is around 80%. I lost half of my battery in three hours.
This problem started after I flashed to http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1757272
I fear there is some hidden setting or something to fix this, as the screen should be a bit darker, but i have failed to find anything useful.
Edit: Got an app called "RootDim" and used it to set brightness to 1 but the screen still remains way too bright.
After I set my brightness level to lowest (non auto), about 4 hours later it displays medium bright. When I try to adjust the level, the meter has no affect to actual brightness. This starting occurring after I updated to 4.2.1. I've switched to the stock deoxed 4.2.1 also to the nightly and the same occurs. Is any one else getting this?

I'm getting the same behavior. This just started happening maybe a week ago. My phone just stops responding to changes in the brightness settings, and it doesn't matter if I try to change it in the power control widget or the actual manual brightness setting. A reboot corrects this, but it's pretty annoying. I'm still totally stock btw. (no root, unlocked bootloader)
My Nexus 7 has a problem about the brightness.
For several months it's dead. No life signals. No charge. I try to fix the battery but nothing. Probably it was undercharge.
However, miraculously now it's go. But the brightness is very very low...
Settings are high (manual or automatic) but I see almost nothing.
Ideas?
