Screen brightness

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?

Do you have autobrightness on? Check in settings/display

No, i don't....

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.

Softkeys stuck on dim

Sorry if theres a thread on this already but all I have is my phone so bear with me.
For some reason my nexus s softkeys are stock on dim, they don't change with the brightness of the screen so its really hard to see them outside...any suggestions?

noone?....

They are that dim by design, AFAIK.

So when you go outside, you can barely see your keys?

Can someone please confirm or deny how the keys are supposed to act before I send this in to samsung

I have never seen them more brighter or dim, always just the same. However, on the G2 for example it was possible via kernel tweaks to make them more brighter or dimmer. I'm not sure if its possible for the Nexus S though.

A picture would help.

As far as I've seen they have only one brightness setting.

I am pretty sure, that that the dim keys where mentioned in some review, too.

Compared to a Galaxy S, they are indeed dim. Personally, i prefer it this way, makes it much less distracting when using it in the dark, and on bright days, i have no problems with finding the buttons.

Screen brightness

How is the visibility outside on a sunny day compared to the S2 or S3?

It is slightly brighter than the S3. However, if you are in bright sunlight and if your phone is not on auto brightness and set to the lowest level, you will have trouble seeing the screen to set auto-brightness. The lowest brightness level seems lower than on the S3. I have run into this a few times.

Compared to my s3 its much better. Outside in the sunlight with sunglasses I can actually read my screen

I have my screen brightness at the lowest on my s3 right now and it's good if you are indoor but outdoor is terrible. Will the s4 have a better screen brightness at the lowest setting compared to the s3?

Ok cool thats the only reason I was considering the htc one. I got kinda tired of my s2 in sunlight

Lower brightness settings

Hi
Could someone told me if there is a mod or some settings to do in order to get a brightness lower than the min value, I do use the phone sometimes at night but I found out that the min value is too bright for me, compared to my xperia S, which is very low..

Is this maybe that thing that you're looking for?
Screen Filter
This app makes your colours look washed out, but makes the backlight less intense.

Thank you, screen goes a little grey but it's fine

There is an app called LUX, which can reduce you brightness to "0". It also does a much better job of auto brightness control that Android does in general, so your battery should last longer

not dim at all

Yes the G2 has a very dim brightness on 1% and also with inverted colors in accesibility click the name not the on or off button to make it dimmer grab it about the bottom middle of that screenshot and drag it down untill you match the blue color on the status bar all the way on the bottom... it keeps your colors the same but your blacks are darker makes for an even dimmer screen... have taken it to a movie theater and get no complaints its as if ts not even on

One of the brightest displays I've used no joke first time I turned the brightness up to 100 my eyes started watering no joke.

I seldom feel the need to run the brightness above 85% except outside on a sunny day. If you are an auto-brightness user, Lux is practically mandatory. LG's auto-dimming logic is horrible. It's got a, maybe, ±20% range.
