Is there a way i could lower my screen's brightness? All the screen filter app never work good.
Some custom rom like PA lets you lower the brightness level just by going in setting-display-brightness-adjust. I use it with the app screen filter, that helps a lot when looking at the Nexus inside a completely dark room

Even on the dimmest settings, the Vibrant is too bright for me in bed, where the light disturbs my wife.
It seems that, with root, you can lower the brightness further - at least on other phones. Is there any way to do this with the Vibrant?
Thanks!
The "Dimmer" app will toggle it from your current brightness down to 10 but if you find something that will go lower let me know.
It has an automatic brightness control based on input from the sensor. You may need to disable this in the settings too, but I would think it would be automatically dimming itself already in a dark room.

Right, but that doesn't get dim enough in some situations and the minimum brightness you can select manually is 30. "Dimmer" will take it all the way to 10 but I would like to see something that would take it to 1 or 2.
I agree. It's too bright in low light situations.
If you find a solution please post it.
Try the Screen Filter App from the market. You can get UNBELIEVABLY low brightness. Which means much better battery.
+1 on screen filter. New version now dims taskbar too.
Here's my dilemma... I like saving battery by setting my brightness level lower than the automatic setting (since the screen still looks great anyway), but I would like it if I didn't have to go into my settings manually to change the brightness level so that I can see the screen when in direct sunlight. Is there any way someone could develop a mod to have the automatic brightness, but about 20% dimmer? I don't know if it's possible, but it would be pretty awesome.

I have my screen set pretty dim, and use the Power widget to crank up the brightness if I go outside.
You can also you the "Screen Filter' app to make the screen x% darker than the current setting. (which even allows you to make it darker than the dimmest brightness settting, which is really nice on the batteries.)

I am current searching for the same thing.
temp solution is to Market > Dimmer (night mode) by geekyouup
It toggles auto brightness and sets back light to min. when on. click once, screen goes super dark, click it again, auto brightness take over. handy. (put it up to status bar w/ bar control and you can get to it when ever)
Problem with auto brightness right now is at it's lowest setting, the back light is still at about 25%. there is gotta be a way to change that in the settings.apk
or better yet, have an option to set your own ambient light to lcd brightness ratio for the auto brightness
option to set own ambient light ratio?

I'm search for this also. I believe you can adjust this in CM7 but is there is a way to do this that is not ROM specific? I'm currently using RoyalGlacier with Faux123 kernel and I find the auto brightness setting for dim ambient to be too bright and the bright ambient to be not bright enough.
Hi peoples
Does anybody know of a way of reducing the backlight brightness below the stock settings?
I've tried various screen filters, such haxor Screen Filter, but these apps are rubbish IMO. All they do is apply a grey transparency filter over the screen, they don't actually reduce the backlight brightness The result is a trick, the screen looks darker but it's really only because the white pixels are made grey. The problem with this approach is that it messes up the contrast and colors, and gives a washed out look.
I like to sometimes use my N10 in a pitch black room, which needs a very dark screen. My old Galaxy Tab 8.9 was good for this, because the backlight was able to go much darker than the N10. The thing is, I know the N10 hardware is capable of having a darker backlight because if you don't touch the tablet for a few minutes, the screen first goes dim before it turns off.
I would like to be able to manually activate the very dim screen setting, or better still, have a lower brightness range available in the brightness settings.

Hi guys.
i thought i'd use my N7 as a bedside clock and alarm. As an alarm it is great but if i want to keep the screen on it is just way too bright even with a screen filter. I installed a filter and also changed the settings in the bedside clock app to give the lowest brightness setting but as soon as my eyes have adjusted to the darkness there is too much light coming from the screen even with all the settings as low as possible.
also, a lot of that screen light is from around the edges like screen bleeding.
any suggestions? i would like to have a very dim clock on constantly with the alarm function then waking me up when needed.
cheers
Anyone?
Its an LCD screen, it won't be pitch black like an amoled no matter what you do.
Although you can try M-Kernel with Trickster mod, it has brightness clamping feature which can reduce brightness to very low levels
I'm assuming you are aware there is a night mode in the Daydream settings for the clock built in to the operating system

Hello guys, I installed 4.5.11, but auto-brightness is very agressive, many times i find it on the lowest setting. Any way to fix this? I just want it a bit higher.
Seems like Oneplus is having everything that saves battery on, from brightness to Doze. As some notifications didn't show untill i opened the app. Usually whatsapp. Personally, instead of 7h of screen on time, i prefer having "just" 6 and everything working good. Just got this phone, 6-7 hours of SOT on a 3300mah battery is insane!
This is very stupid. I have the same problem. I dont know why OnePlus don't make AutoBrightness ajustable like Samsung in Touchwiz for ex...
same with me, when autobrightness in darker room, display is always set to lowest brightness ever. really annoying.
On my side, I really love the way auto brightness behave on my OP5. Too much light is not good for the eyes.
Exactly, the user should be able to set a default level, then auto brightness goes from there.
For those who have sensitive eyes, you can always use night mode. It just block the blue light that is mostly responsible to keep is awake.
When the auto brightness is too low did you go into Settings / Display and move the Adaptive Brightness slider to your desired brightness? I am now in a very dark room and the slider isn't all the way down to the minimum. I can see my screen fine.

Yeah or i do it from the status bar. Still after a while it returns to a lower level. While i already want it on a low level, it's too agressive. I whish i could raise it by 10-20%.
Yeah, that slider doesn't adjust the adaptive brightness level like it would on a Nexus or Pixel device. It remains as a standard brightness level instead

Well, we could install xposed to fix the brightness. But then i don't know i want to install all of that just for brightness.
