Is there a way disable the auto dim when the battery level is under 5 percent battery? I get the concept but it renders the phone useless in the sunlight.
found any workaround yet?

I absolutely loathe this. The only work around I've found is an app called adjbrightness. It'll force the screen brightness to whatever you want. But as far as disabling the system setting, I haven't had any luck yet either.

Most likely, but many of us are still on tw as much as it sucks. While CM is good, it's not worth it for me until the IR and GPS are fixed.

Screen is a bit too bright for me even on the lowest settting. I remember reading about an app that let's us knock the brightness below the minimum level, ideal for night reading by all accounts.
Can anyone tell me what this app is called? Does it need root?
Thanks.
No root necessary.

Thanks I will give that a go ... not to keen on this bit though :
"Known issues: - Gingerbread: Filter prevents interaction with Gmail. "
Is this the only one available so far?
It's just buggy. It will "turn off" by itself, and yes mostly when you switch to Gmail. Gets the job done though.

Thanks i'll try it I'd that's the extent of the issue.
Edit: works brilliantly for occasional use bit I'd like something that can be applied permanently and system wide if possible. Don't know if anything exists though... yet?
Nothing else exists, sorry.

OK thanks. Out of interest, am I the only one that finds the nexus s screen just too bright?
I'm sure an app will come along that caters for this if it's seen to be a common observation (though I'm not sure it is).
Na, quite a few people find the screen very bright.. right now Screen Filter is your only option.

i don't have this issue. i keep mine on about 40%
Once the devs start doing custom kernels, we'll get one that can go dimmer. Supercurio, the VooDoo lag-fix guy for the i9000 and other Galaxy S versions is big on color correction and gamma and all of that. One of his early fixes including making it less bright on minimum. He's looking to get a Nexus S, once he does we'll see lots of good stuff.
Meanwhile, even without one, he's chugging out lots of stuff for the NS community. Big fan of his work.
Hello,
I picked up my GS4 about a week ago but haven't really used it in direct sunlight until today. I was outside, and the sun was shining brightly on the screen. Home screen was fine, and darker images were ok, but if I were to go to an app with a primarily white background, or open up something which used the keyboard (texting) the screen would flicker pretty noticeably. Brightness is all the way up, and auto tone was off.
Has anyone else seen this?
yup this is normal esp when using the keyboard.
Im not sure if it will be fixed.

I guess my question is, is this a hardware issue with many GS4's or a minority. I came across a thread on the Tmobile GS4 forum where people were experiencing it, but it seems not everyone is.

Its a hardware thing, but also its only in touchwiz so a developer might be able to turn it off so to speak.
It adjusts the color and tone no matter what to save the display from overheating and or burning in...
Does it a lot and I notice it cause im weird about those kinds of things.
If you use CM 10.1 or AOKP its gone.
ive made some progress with the RGB light meter on this; hoping a friend can write up some code so we can test out a 'smoothed out' transition and sampling rate and one that is sped up, averaged faster, but will take up more CPU and RAM and battery but more accurate.
here is another thread regarding it:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2280715
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2284726
Maybe if someone who is using CM10 or AOKP could test it to see if it is a software issues and not a hardware issue?
edit: slade and jet replied while I was writing this...thanks for the info. looks like it is touchwiz related.
edit2: just went out in the sun again to test a lot of different options in the display settings (which none worked) but is seems it is only happening when the keyboard is enabled. I am using swiftkey.
yeah TW and that sensor communicate; i believe the sensor itself probably works better ALONE, but TW changes it and throttles it for either battery or screen safety.
It is always dependent on what is being pulled up on the screen, though it can be mitigated quite a bit if you disable all power saving and screen auto features, and leave brightness under 80% or so.
yea anything under 80% in direct sun is basically black. all power saving and screen auto modes were disabled. i covered up all of the sensors too and it still flickered....

Not just a sensor thing per-say.
It's hard to explain, they most likely did it because they didn't want the amoled to burn in.
Its the same reason why the brightness goes up another 34% or so on auto above the max brightness. Only uses it when needed to save the screen and battery.
Does it on youtube too btw, bring up a video on wide screen then tap it and you'll see the drastic color shift
I noticed this thing when I got my phone also. I thought I was just imagining it but I guess it's an actual problem

No that's not possible, its hard coded into touchwiz, this isn't a bug or anything...

adaptive display off
reading mode off
brightness manual
smart screen off
brightness level set to 90% or so
and my screen auto dimm for no reason playing PVZ or any other game is very annoying to the point of stop playing
I did some reading on att note 3 forums and they said this is implemented on the Kernel itself so if we can get full unlock perhaps we can use a custom kerlel to fix this BIG PROBLEM

Ahh, gotcha.
I've never experienced any problems with the screen dimming when I'm using it (even playing games). But I like to use Smart Stay (works great for me) and I like my brightness at 100% all the time, so it's a little different scenario, I guess.

I've seen it and been looking for where to turn it off. Was going to post about it, so glad you did. It's very annoying and send to happen at odd times in pretty much any app.
Now here's another one for you. Have you noticed when you pick up your phone that it will vibrate twice? I can't tell what I'd doing it, so it may be a system thing.

Yea if in the next update it don't get a fix Samsung will not like me very much
Like how LG probably hates me every chance I get I talk **** especially about their LowGrade ****uition
Android product ...LG is byfar the worst android creators out there and should just stick
To making ****ty appliance or better yet just stay out of the electronic world all 2gthr IMO...
But back to the subject at hand it seems its when a lot of processes are going that it dims (CRASHES)
Try keeping an auto task killer app running to kill unwanted tasks as they pop up...
It works but not for too long. it would seem the 2G of RAM is not enough for the quadcore
maybe 3G would have worked better.
Solution
Kinda late with an answer but I figured out why my note 4 was doing that out of the bloom. Turns out I had an option checked for my screen brightness to adjust based on the image that was on my display. Just go to Settings, Display, then uncheck the Auto Adjust Screen Tone. That should fix it. ☺
So after the july update, everything seems to be cleaner on my phone. But i just noticed 1 thing that annoys me for the past few hours.
When u turn on ur mobile data it goes juz like normal but when u wanna turn it off, there's a annoying pop up message that wants confirmation from you.
Anyone knows how can i turn that off?

If you use Xposed (Warning - This breaks Safetynet, even systemless Xposed does) then you can use the module named I Said OFF! to turn off this annoying pop up.
Custom ROMs don't have this annoying pop up if you are willing to ditch stock.

Doesn't work as a LED notification...

It's there a Magisk mod to make it persist say every 30 seconds? Or even choose which apps it works with? Having it pulsing overnight because a bit of spam got emailed to me would suck.
