The BestBuy N3 demo unit allowed me to set a "base" level brightness from which the auto mode started. On the drop down notification the brightness control would show -1, -2 or +1, +2, etc.
However, my AT&T N3 does not allow this...is my memory making things up? Carrier specific? Settings?
thanks.
Go to settings, device tab, select notification panel and tick brightness adjustment

Thanks, I have the brightness scroll in the notification...but what is missing is the +1, +2 that shows on the screen when scrolling the brightness which sets the base brightness level.
Well mine is there, anyway stock brightness auto control is crap. I am using velis auto brightness app which is way much smoother.

It should be in the settings.
Device> Display> Brightness
Just set it to auto and Move the slider.
You have to tick the "Auto" box in your notifications.
Nope don't have that + sign, numbers or vertical bar in the middle. I actually thought if I did it was "the key" to making autobrightness work better.
Think I'll try velis auto brightness app as suggested.
I am on AT&T version Model number "SAMSUNG-SM-N900A". I checked the one at the best buy store which does have the #'s and it is a different model number..."SM-N9005". go figure. weird but I suppose it doesn't really matter.

I want the Browswer to either,
1 - utilize the auto brightness function
2 - keep the brightness the same as what my setting is on
Is this that hard to do? why does the browser get it's own friggin brightness setting? At lease give us an option to take route 1 or route 2 on top of being able to change it.
Definitely something to think about in future roms.
And here is another example of why I despise auto brightness settings on screens. I like mine cranked all the way...except on my Sharp Aquos because that would lead to retinal bleeding at over 450nits
Just swipe from left to right along the notification bar to change the brightness to what you want.

i'd much prefer it automatically matching the brightness to the system setting. Hopefully, that will be fixed in the upcoming roms.
BTW, to increase screen brightness, turn Power Savings off in the Display settings. Doing this keeps the screen at 100% all the time --the browser and other apps will not dim the display anymore.

Very annoying. I have no idea why someone would do this. It makes no sense.

Same here, i don't need a very bright screen to browse
But having a auto for browser is basic setting in my mind though

But then you go outside and you can't see your screen because it's so low. This is specifically the reason it bugs me. I too love low brightness indoors but it sucks when you can't see the screen very well to turn it back up.
My only complaint is every page has to be white like a bright sheet of paper.
Back in the old days, computers had white text on black screens. Worked great at night or in dark rooms.

Two things regarding brightness I've found in 2.1 and wanting to know if I'm just missing something or what:
No more automatic brightness setting
The maximum brightness setting is about 2x as bright as the maximum setting on 1.6

There is auto brightness. it is done through a widget called power control which lets you control wifi gps etc..on the most right is ascreen brightness selector. 3 options. min auto and max brightness

Yes there is, through the widget with the wifi, gps and the other stuff.
Furthest to the right is a brightness icon that you can press to get auto brightness.

The middle setting is auto. In fact, Kindle even says 'To enable display brightness, turn off the automatic brightness adjustment in display settings.'
Mine does not ask a thing. Doesn't seem as auto option but a medium setting instead.

I have to say i miss that feature too. A lot. The middle setting is not auto. I downloaded Spareparts and enabled auto brightness but it does not seem to work. Not like 1.6 did anyway.

Hmm...did you actually put it infront of sunlight and check if the brightness automatically changes?
Alright everyone I was wary about the absence of the auto-brightness as well but I just did a test and I can confirm that the middle setting in the brightness setting on the power control widget is for auto-brightness. You can test this too by shining a bright light at the sensor, the screen brightness should INCREASE. Obviously a few of you mistook it for MEDIUM brightness which is understandable as the auto-brightness is between the minimum and maximum brightness under most circumstances, does that make sense?
Testet it with the Widget.
Seems to work. But in my opinion it worked better in 1.6.
Ah, good! Auto brightness is a critical feature IMHO.

Really? I've set the brightness in 2.1 to 100% which is as bright as 1.6 on 50%.

I second that. Much better in 1.6. Here it does not even change. You barely notice it when going from inside to outside etc... I also tried on the Desire of a friend, and same thing. So 1.6 must have been better at that I guess.
Somebody can tell me how to disable the feature of automatic brightness, leaving it at the value I want, independently by the light? sorry if it has already been asked, but with the search function in the threads I can't answer it myself.
Hope somebody will help, because now my battery is drained too fast =(

I use the Brightness Profiles app. It seems to hold the settings after reboots.
Looked on google for this and found other people asking about it but no answer so far.
If i leave the screen brightness set to auto-adjust, the phone NEVER adjust the screen brightness down to it's lowest setting, even if i am sitting in a pitch dark room. Is there some way to adjust the range of the brightness setting so that it will actually use the lowest brightness? It seems beyond stupid that in a pitch dark room the screen doesn't go down to it's lowest level.
Most of the time i find the screen to be too bright, so if i could adjust the auto-brightness over-all to be darker, that would be cool too.
failing that, is there an app that makes adjusting the brightness quicker then digging down into the settings to move the slider?
thanks
I use widgetsoid (free) from the market place to do what you speak of and 7 other things as well.
i think i already have something that does what it looks like widgetsoid does. I have a button on the screen that i can tap that switches the screen between 3 brightness settings. i was just wondering if there was one where you could tap and get a slider. Seems silly to have the actual slider itself on the screen since that would take up so much room. But a button that would open up into a slider would be nice.
I'd still prefer to be able to adjust the autobrightness settings and use that if possible.
You can set autobrightness levels with tasker. There's a thread floating around with details.

Again, Widgetsoid does this. Once it is setup, modify, settings/Brightness Modes and set it Custom (Seekbar) or use one of the other 2 settings. You can change those as well with custom. Exit. Go to toggle and you have slider with one click on one button, which option of adding 7 more.

ah ok, cool, thanks. I'm going to see if i can find the thread about tasker since i'd prefer to have auto-brightness working better. if that fails then i'll give widgetsoid a try.
thank you
Just what I was looking for Screen brightness less then 10% and Less then Curvefish's toggle to 4%. I was looking for the 1% brighness and I think i got with the Widgetsoid only compaint is no exit after setting... Thanks
Hi to all,
i own an i9505 with (rooted) XXUAMDM firmware and in my opinion auto brightness is too dim even at +5; is there a tweak (for rooted) to increase brightness values without disable auto brightness feature?
(Of course Power saving mode is disabled and i have tried with "Auto adjust screen tone" on and off with no results)
Are auto brightness default values enough bright for you?
It's the same for me with ME2
Envoyé depuis mon GT-I9505 avec Tapatalk
Nobody has a solution? I also tested PlayStore's autobrightness apps but they are not faithfuls to light changes like stock one. It would be perfect to add "X" units to every value on stock autobrightness... but unfortunately i'm not able to do that... please devs help me/us
fix
I found a solution,
Go into Settings > My device> Display > Screen Mode>
Uncheck Adapt Display then choose Dynamic.
This should fix the issue.

Hi,
Is the auto brightness level customizable? I keep moving the slide down but it keeps moving to almost full brightness.
Thanks
Just click the QS Tile named "Auto Brightness" or something like that

You can adjust auto brightness level by moving manual level brightness bar.

That was my thinking too, but it doesn't seem to work, after a few seconds the bar goes right were it was before I move it
On the street it's always stuck on max brightness, it doesn't even let me change it to some other value

It's because you're on street, on daylight. You can change brightness but after some time it will go up. If you want set it manually, turn autobrightness of and manually slide the slider
