I run a stock rom and don't like to change it..
is there a tweak to make the brightness sensitivity higher?
I mean, i want it to brighter in normal light conditions and dimmer in darker ones..
in normal auto brightness mode the brightness is not fully high in fully lighted rooms nor its dim enough to read on bed.
never had this issue before with all of my android devices which are more than 20
i use stock rom and franco kernel
Try Lux Dash on play store ... you can teach it how to behave etc ... great app

LUX app is the best,it's free and you can link brightness levels!
It is great and I think this is what I've been looking fore exactly.
Thanks Anthony for the tip

I'm using nand android and enable the auto brightness adjustment.it works well in sun light but it's too bright(about 40%)in a complete dark environment.how to solve this problem? thank you.
I use it at the lowest setting all of the time unless I go out, and I think it's still too bright in a dark room. before the auto brightness was working I have a feeling that it use to get a lot lower, but it's been a while and a lot of rom switching. it could definitely use some more tinkering.

I found out all sense roms are too bright, CM is ok.
Does it mean that the brightness is controlled by the light sensor?
If us then why when i un-check it and set the brightness manually my x8 brightness keep changing according to the ambient light!!
I hate this light sensor and want to disable it in minicm 6 but can't seem to do this, can somebody tell me hot disable this light sensor i just hate it
Thanks.....

Are you sure it adjusts? It might just be the light difference and it might look like it changes, but it doesn't. I use CM7.0.4, and it works just fine.
And yes, Auto-Brightness uses the light sensor to determine what is the adequate lighting level for your current surrounding light levels, so it makes an adequate light contrast, so to say. In my opinion, sometimes Auto-Brightness makes it too bright and sometimes too dark.
yes, brightness is controlled by the light sensor when autobrightness is on..
i've used miniCM and CM6 and i don't experience a change in brightness when my autobrightness is off..
No in minicm6 1.0.1 when i uncheck the auto brightness my brightness STILL keeps on changing according to The sarrounding light so checking it or unchecking it (autobrightness) is the same in minicm the brightness just keep on changing no matter whatsoever

Agreed. But i am not sure that it does it on all minicm6 roms. So if you want your battery more than some slobbery functionality in custom roms. Chose what you need most until we get a nice and stable 2.3 rom.
P.S. I am using stock rom, customized by me. Removed what not needed, reframed, etc.
auto brightness is controlled by the light sensor in CM6 sensor should be disabled by changing a line in hw_config ...check the threads of the ROM's. you have information how to do in this place
Sorry for my bad english !
you need to edit hw_config.sh
Hi,
Have any of you noticed when you push the home or the power button to turn on your phone to unlock it the screen is really bright for a second then it switches to your settings? Has anyone experienced this and if so has anyone found a way to stop it?

Yes sand issue here had 4 of these things. Pretty crap really and the lowest settings is not low enough in a dark room.
I fixed mine. Turned off adaptive display and reset the handset. Problem solved.

Nu such issue on mine. Might be because of auto brightness, the sensor is off when the screen is off.
Yes. I have see this issue in my brother in law note 3. We all bought 3 note 3. 2 of it doesn't have this issue. I wonder is it hardware issue? Since the other two phone will never having the brightness problem.

I noticed this on my Nexus 7 2013, it's really annoying when you want to say read in bed and the lights are off it's far too bright. I found using the app Brightness Adjuster solved this. It lets you go way below the firmware level of brightness and I have found it excellent. May work on your NIII.

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.

Hello, I have recently purchased Moto G4 Play and I find the display of it too bright even on the lowest settings.
I used to read news and ebooks at bedtime but it is very stressful with this level of brightness.
I have tried 'Screen Filter' app and it slows down the mobile plus the actual brightness is not reduced.
I will root my device if it is going to help me with this brightness issue.
What would you recommend? My device is still in the 10 day window for return from Amazon.
Thanks.
Not sure about stock but the brightness goes pretty low on the XOSP rom I'm using right now.
Because you mentioned you use it for reading, I would recommend Twilight or f.lux(both available on playstore f.lux needing root).
They really help with the screen saturation and make it easier on your eyes.
I tried screen filter and it worked perfectly. Maybe it has something to do with the stock rom.
An alternate to screen filter would be Lux Lite it worked as good as screen filter maybe this works in your case.
Thanks for quick reply

I am already using Twilight : ), I am little scared about rooting this brand new mobile due to warranty issues. Just for comparison,
the lowest brightness on Moto G4 Play is like Middle for Moto G3 / E3.
Can I claim warranty after rooting this device?

It says on the bootloader unlock page that you cannot once the bootloader is unlocked. So you can't claim the warranty after rooting. But mostly they don't bother letting you claim it on some hardware problems but you should still think of it as void and not take any chances.
Twilight Pro is much enhanced that the free version. I'm using it since I bought this phone. It has "Bed Reading" profile which helps you read in the dark without letting you put stress on your eyes and help you sleep as soon as you leave your phone. According to me, just leave it on default settings and switch to Bed reading at night.

Hi, thanks for reply! I've got 'Bed Reading' profile option too but I am using the twilight free version. Anyway, buying it for sure since it certainly helps me and so should the dev get helped.
I have no compelling reason to root this device except this brightness issue, and I am little worried about Nougat update too, feeling maybe Lenovo will roll back its promise.
When I downloaded it first, it asked me to buy for just ₹20 ($0.29) and there was no reason for denial
What about the adaptive brightness?
I had adaptive brightness set to true when I was facing such a problem. Now it works fine. You can check the Ambient Light sensor in GPS Status and Toolbox app.
If you have Xposed installed there are a couple of modules that can lower the minimum brightness

Does this will reduce the brightness organically? Meaning no gimmick like 'Screen Filter' or anything?

Screen filter puts an overlay over everything else, the backlight is still the same it just looks a little dimmer cause everything is a little greyer.
Xposed can lower the backlight

Lowers actual backlight

Great find. Now the brightness is perfect for night reading, and it will also improve battery life.
I don't understand though why manufacturers limit the min brightness when it's "free", maybe to artificially segment the market (flagships always have excellent low brightness)... There are cheap chinese phones that have hardware backlight limits, but for G4 Play it's definitely not the case, it's just software limited.

GravityBox (xposed) can dim the "real" brigthness too...
Note that if the lcd brigthness set to minimum (GravityBox or AllMy....), Youtube videos cant be played in full screen.

- Using GravityBox or AllMy..., ser the minimun brightness to 1 (or even 2)
- Without adaptative brightness, set the brightness (slider) to minimum
- Go to Youtube, play a video and expand it to fullscreen
The screen becames totally black, but the video still playing (the audio still playing).
Note that if the brightness slider isn't at the true real minimun, everything works nicely.
I tried exactly that, but it works for me. I also use Youtube background playback Xposed module.
