Hi guys, i would like to know if exist an application that allow to manually force the extra brightness that our Note 4 increase to by itself when directly under the sun. The are some conditions, like cloudy weather, where the extra brightness is more useful than when under the sun.
Do you know how to force the extra brightness?

Okay, I don't know if this is the right place.. Or if it is currently even possible. (I know root isn't done or even close).. I figured development and this would be app development so it sorta works in this area.. But here's a little request for someone whose good with code and making apps:
But I want wondering if someone could create a custom auto brightness app that lets you set the max and min for the the auto brightness on the Incredible. I like the auto feature on the Incredible, but it gets way too high and drains the battery too quickly so I have to turn it off ..
So I would like to have an app that lets you set like EX: 5% as the minimum brightness and 40% as the maximum. Make it so you have have ajustable bars to move back and forth to pick your percentage or something along the lines of that. I think if someone managed to work some code and create this app it'd be heavily downloaded. So I was wondering if someone could make an app like this eventually in the future? Thanks again guys
Yeah, this would be cool. I am no developer, and there isn't anything in the market for this type if thing either, so i would assume it is really hard to do.
All you want it to do is be able to set the brightness? Just as a shortcut in a sense?
Dazzle is a pretty good alternative for the time being. hopefully someone can come up with something with something that does it automatically too.

(Sorry I'm Incredible53517 but I accidently had two accounts so we closed that one and now I'm just using my old one).
Okay, I want auto brightness but I want to choose how bright the phone gets bright and dim. I want to be able to set the max and min is what I'm saying and then have it automatically change by my surroundings...like the stock auto brightness does. I just think it'd be a nice features to have.. That's all. It'd save battery too.
This seemed like a good idea so I looked through the source code for Eclair and there doesn't seem to be any way to do this. All you can do is toggle auto brightness on or off and adjust the brightness when auto brightness is set to off. There is now way to cap the minimum and maximum brightness in the auto mode. Perhaps this is required by the hardware.
Sure, but couldn't you write a program to automatically adjust the brightness (with auto turned off within the OS settings) and set your own caps?
I'm not an Android developer, but this seems like it might be possible.

I am only a noob dev myself, and I'm only seeing a way to set the brightness, not sense how bright it is (read from light sensor).

Okay, that's fine. I figured it would be hard since no one has really made it yet. But thanks for trying! I appreciate it!
if you use the android widget for... "power Control" it has all your stuff you like to turn on and off... wifi/BT/GPS/Sync/Brightness... if you tap brightness it goes from auto> full brightness> lowest brightness> back to auto... I didn't know this until I just started using the widget
the widget is included with the phone its not a download
Anyone know if there is a way to adjust the automatic brightness function - i.e. have it still be automatic, but be a little bright or darker for a given ambient light?
would really like to keep using it, but want my overall brightness turned down. using manual brightness with widget for now, but don't see why automatic brightness could not be tweaked. tried searching for an app to do this, but have not come up with anything. nothing came up in a google search of xda either. anyone got anything?
I want to know as well, I wouldn't mind setting the auto brightness to be more fine tuned as well, smaller changes.
Yes a better working app is needed. something like My Light or Lumos for winmo
Hi all,
I found that the default auto brightness setting always render the screen darker than my favourite. For certain I want to keep the adaptive approach (i.e. the screen brightness will change according to my physical enviornment), however I would like to fine tune it such that it will always return a +1 / +2 brightness on top of the default return. Do anyone know any apps / tricks can I do so?
p.s. I know I can place an widget to manual adjust the brightness, but I am now looking for a way to fine tune the automated value.
Thanks all!

Did you ever solve this. Posted numerous times about a similar issue but never really found a proper solution.
You can use Tasker. Set up profiles for depending how much the light sensor sees, you can have the brightness exactly how you want. Note: You need to disable auto brightness for this to work.
Anybody using Lux to control screen brightness? I mainly got it so I can get a dimmer screen setting for reading at night. I found that the default lux setting is too bright by default, typically being around 60% screen brightness during the day. So I'm curious what other people are setting the custom settings to.
Lux is cool because even though its auto adjust, if you find it to bright you can pull up the dashboard from the notifications drawer or the widget. Then slide the slider to where you think it should be according to the light level you are at. Then hold down the little icon that looks like a chain. This will "link" the brightness level with the current lighting level. You actually make lux better for you by personalizing it. Link as many settings as you want to various lighting levels.

Yeah. So far I like it. Just curious what % people are using for normal use. It also looks like stock min brightness on android is 15%. The low settings on lux go from 15% to 0% with nothing in between.

You guys should try screendim if you have root. You can adjust any brightness levels, it even has a second adjustment for contrast so you have a lot more control. Its not free but well worth the few dollars imo.

I just installed a custom kernel and it looks like it includes a 5% brightness setting. Should be good.
I like using the auto screen brightness, but the thresholds are too low for my liking. Is there a way (ie. an app) to increase this?
Thanks
