Go on the play store and look for 3rd party brightness apps and see if they work... preferably notification toggle open the app and check the brightness it should then be in your notification bar click it and get back to me if it works

Check your system with some LUX sensor app, as the previous poster said. Your sensor might not be working.

I tried lux meter app and my lux sensor work perfectly, then I install "screen filter" to adjust brightness and it work more or less than I expect just the software button isn't affected

Thanks. Tried both apps, and both are able to turn them on, but just for some seconds.
Maybe I'll find another solution, but this apps don't work.

At first you need a ROM with CyanogenMod.
Look at the link. Do what there stand. But change the value for "Buttons" in each line to 255 . Look at attached pic. If you have questions pm me.

the display does not rotate properly .... to make it rotate in landscape mode, I have to put it horizontally and tilt it slightly to the right ... I have to use it in a vertical turn it slightly to the right .. and hope to work properly ..
with applications that give the possibility to calibrate the sensors have not had results.
the problem occurred after uninstalling Nova launcher.
I have tried all possible solutions including reinstalling nova launcher ...
I did the flash device but without result
I do not know what more to try .... thanks for the help!

did you reflashed your device and it's still not working? or what do you mean? =)
it can be the sensor, which is broken, or you changed something in the settings. you have your rotation activated in the settings, aren't you?

[Q] Brightness problem 4.4 KitKat??

Any body else has noticed it? (KitKat)
Turn off auto brightness. Try sliding it slowly down
and when you met 60/255 values back-light will light stronger...
which is weird. It should constantly lowering the
back-light but 60 value breaks it.
It is really annoying if you have auto-brightness enabled
especially when you approach dark places. Brightness will lower
and than BAM! at 60 value it will x-rays your eyes
Any body know how to fix that?
anybody?
Try to disable "Content Adaptive Backlight"
You must make a shortcut of this app with the launcher [Nova launcher i.e.] or an app to create shortcuts
Also you can disable or change the settings of this. Test the settings that best suit you...
Meanwhile.. i'm in need for some help too
check this http://forum.xda-developers.com/elife-e7/help/request-nv-items-backup-qcn-ou-nvf-t3097931
and try to help me, please
=== SOLVED ====
Thank you but its still the same... any suggestions?
Glad to see your device is already fixed!

On the dialer of the phone type *#8702# to test your backlight.
If apears all in chinese, download GN_MMITest.apk and replace the one you have in /system/app.
Have you tried 3rd party apps?
Disable the "Content Adaptive Backlight" install this app Brightness Widget - Backlight! and manually set the level you want.
There could other apps that do this better, i just dont know. So if this app dont do the job as you intent search for another app to do so...
Take a look at this How to Improve Your And... and if that is your issue. They suggest a paying app, but if it suits your needs maybe you should consider it...
Hi,
I tried almost every 3th party app like Lux, Velis etc... but problem is still there!
GN_MMITest.apk you posted is not working it says "Connection problem or invalid MMI code"
Thanks for your further help.
Have you noticed it?
When brightness goes across 60 value it will lighten up instead dimming...
With auto brightness turned on.
It seams it is system or kernel bug...

If u have root access then try xposed's module Screen Filter.
Link:- https://forum.xda-developers.com/xposed/modules/mod-screen-filter-t2893936
Thanks, but I read somewhere Xposed on KitKat cause boot loop...
So I am alone with that problem?
I'm installed xposed frameworks, and work fine, not all, but many modules work!
But, Screen filter no work, sorry! ?
Thanks anyway

Screen rotation fix for latest update

Hello, if you are experiencing bad screen rotation after latest update you can do this while waiting for the next update, hopefully CM13
Install this app
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=nl.fameit.rotate&hl=en
Let it handle system rotation control and set it to automatic, it should fix your issues for now
Or if it doesn't work try this one, cause it seems to work better
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=org.crape.rotationcontrol&hl=en
Open the app and activate the two switches
In a German community it has been reported that switching auto rotation on and off in the display settings would fix the problem. Did u tried it? I'm on CM13 ... Can't try by myself

Just tried it. It feels less laggy but still needs 3-4 secs to rotate.

Yup doesn't work. The gyroscope seems okay, IMO its just a bug in the ROM, installing a rotation app seems to help but often isn't responsive. At lest i can use the notification to toogle tge screen orientation. I hope we get CM13 soon

Always On Display latest version always on full brithness

I've updated AOD (Always On Display) via Galaxy Apps to version 1.4.02, and since then, most of the time, AOD is at full brightness, even when my device in my pocket, it takes long for the screen to turn off like it should.
I'm not sure if this specific version is buggy or it is something else, but when i'm using my phone, brightness is OK.
Anyone who updated it too can confirm its related to the AOD update?
I'm just afraid of screen burns and battery drain.
I just set a note pad on the top part of my screen to block the sensor and mine dims in 1 minute by my count and goes completely blank a few seconds after that. Try this with yours.

I'm experiencing the same problem after update and its killing battery really fast so turn off for now until next update hoping they'll fix it
my screen is not going pure dark on always on display... preview of always on screen theme is good and the backuground is pure dark, but when i lock the screen, it looks little bit grey colored background.
how can i fix it? i'm on new firmware (1.4.02)
mine was different case....when it's on AOD the automatic bright sensor doesn't work.when it's active on dark room AOD was dark & when it's active on bright room AOD was always bright.how can i fix this issue?
And one more thing the new update changelog show now its support clear view case.but it's not working.when i close the cover it doesn't show the picture which i selected on AOD setting.its show only the time like before the update.

I glad to hear its version related and not my sensor or something like that.
Actually, a lot of people experiencing problems with this version, not only this problem.
I hope they will fix it soon.
By the way, do you know what the previous version was? I would like to search for an APK, maybe i'll uninstall the updates and install the good one.

You can't uninstall I tried it. I can't remember the last version but try download any version lower than the last and don't forget to uncheck auto update

You can uninstall all updates you did
go to settings, app manager, 3 dots, show system apps, find "always on display", 3 dots again, uninstall updates.
