I cannot get my screen to dim when in a dark environment when on auto brightness. When I go into a bright environment it will get brighter, but once I return to a darker environment it will not dim. Only way it will dim is if I uncheck the auto box in the notification shade and then recheck it or if I turn the screen off and then back on. I've waited for up to a minute for it to dim and nadda! I've tried disabling auto brightness and rebooting/powering off & on without success. Any ideas before I try a FDR?
(I'm on the T-Mobile variant and only disabled some apps with the built-in application manager ...)
FYI - I am well aware of Lux and similar apps that "are better" than the built in setting, however, I am trying to figure out why mine will not work with the stock setting.
Thanks!

Safe mode resulted in same results ... looks like I am FDR bound ?

I am experiencing this as well. I drive a lot in the dark and this is a daily annoyance.
After doing further research I found that this might be as Samsung intended it to be. I found a thread here on xda (sorry, can't find it again) where someone looked at the code for the S6 (I think) and saw it had something to do with the devices orientation. If it's flat, the device would dim if not it wouldn't - as if Sammy doesn't want it to dim while you're holding it (I assume so if your hands accidentally cover the sensor while gaming/video watching it would not dim??). Sure enough I laid my S7E on the counter and turned off the light it dims fine. Turn on the light, pick up the device, turn the light off and nadda ... screen won't dim until it's cycled off/on or the auto box is unchecked/checked. Quite a stupid "feature" IMO

Samsung just like doing stupid things to tick its users off. So many little things with this device that are stupid.
Glad I found this thread. Lux is nice, never used it before. Much better than samsung auto brightness.
Lux is great. Once you start linking the brightness to your reference, it just works.

No reason why we can't have a working auto bright built in. My damn S4 and Note 4 works flawlessly.

I agree... while I like Lux the default auto brightness should function normally

Found a trick to the led notification inside the ROM control area. If you would like to change the color of your LED notification do not use custom colors to the left only use the slider to the right and then set them.
The slider to right is the colorful one

I have pretty much tried every single color and it works pretty well some colors more then others.

What's the difference between Set and !!!? So all you do to change the color of yours is use the slider on the right... do you need to then touch the right-hand color swatch, the Set button or !!! so it takes effect?

!!!! Is the stock ics blue

I can't seem to figure out how to get mine to show anything other than a yellowish color. I'm using the slider on the right and hitting set, but to no avail. Just attempting to get back the stock blue, much less abrasive.
EDIT: Unsurprisingly it turns out that I'm just dumb and was overlooking LED settings within other apps...Oops! OP recommendation works just fine. Thanks!
No problem and don't use the !!! Just click the new color and done like I said it's close to the color that you pick but not perfect. Some notifications automatically come out red on their own for example Facebook notifications etc. but system apps seems to be the color that you pick
After installing this on my phone the LED won't do anything when charging, fully charged. Any reason why? I tried light flow but its bugged for the S3 right now.

because aosp does not offer those options only Samsung software
This happened with SuperGalaxy and now with cnote74's CM10.1. With flash on auto it seems most of the time flash is out of sync with shutter, when shutter goes off the flash is almost over.

When flash is set to on the shutter and flash work as should. Dont know if it's just me or if its has happened to others, it does this on both roms. Could this just be a limitation of my phone to sync all the actions,or issue in kernal. Actions in both roms: Tap to take picture, first flash goes off, screen turns green??, second flash goes off, seems to be a lag(flash set to auto), shutter goes off, and pic comes out as shown above. This happens in SuperGalaxy( 57 and 58 kernal) and CM10.1(59 kernel--minuse green line in 5mp). Will attempt to get a logcat and post later, going to sleep now.
Doesn't happen for me. It looks like the right half of your picture is illuminated, while the left isn't. Since these devices use a rolling shutter, that makes sense. Did you somehow force a long exposure time perhaps?
That's a nice looking cat. Got any more pics?
Checked settings they are at default. On average, I take 6 pictures 4 come out good- 1 with shadow like above picture- 1 missed the flash, flash on auto. It happens more often when taking pictures portrait style compared to landscape. Also when holding in portrait, I get a green overlay when taking picture, don't get this green overlay when holding in landscape. ????? Could my camera be on its way out.

I think maybe the problem could be with the custom settings that those roms have for the screen rendering.. I would go into the app settings menu (from the system settings app) and wipe the data for the camera.. Once you do that make sure you have the default setup inside the camera app settings.. Check in the cm settings and be sure there isn't any of the screen rendering settings enabled for changing the hue of the screen tint.. Also,, do you use the development menu in settings??.. If so,, check out the force gpu rendering and the disable hardware overlays options and see if they have anything to do with it.. Troubleshoot the problem is the best I can figure..

Well have gone through the settings and still continues to do this with flash on auto, only when the flash goes off. If the flash is not needed the picture comes out good. Thinking now this just might be my phone struggling to sometimes sync the double flash and shutter in jelly bean. Started when first went to SuperGalaxy(4.1), and continues in CM10.1. This did not happen when using asopX or venom, might drop back to see if it continues in ICS.

Can anyone explain to me what happens when screen power saving mode is enabled in settings so far I always keep it enabled and all it seems to do is dim the display a bit and increase the battery life massively. Can anyone tell me if it's doing anything like slowing down my phone slightly with animations or something cause I don't want to be missing out, but so far that's all I can see.

I ended up disabling it.
If you click on power saving mode in settings it should show what you want and give you further options. It's that way on the Note 2.

Ive only checked this option in my power saving settings. Ive turned off power saving for both cpu and haptic feedback. Ive noticed it only dims the display a bit. Is there anything else that this setting does?
Looks to me like it lowers the Gamma value of the screen.
You can just as easily set the brightness to 80% yourself... Same effect
I've read somewhere when i was using note 2 that the cpu is reduce to two core only. I dont know is it true or not.

I turned it on and off with brightness at 90% and there was no difference between the two. So it just lowers the maximum brightness by about 10%.

That's the CPU setting in the power saving menu. We're talking about the screen mode setting.

Hey guys
Something that's really annoying me is my phone still changes the display brightness level with everything turned off/manual
No power saving mod
Manual brightness
Screen mod standard
Stock browser is on manual
WTF is going on. Surely others have experienced this?
How do we turn it off
If your note 3 gets too hot it will reduce the screen brightness.....
Display Settings
Automatic contrast off!

I have never seen this on any other device
It happens only 10min into use with just general browsing
Automatic contrast is already off
So is everyone happy that this is happening?
I cant believe no one else is bothered by it!!

It was bothering me A LOT but now something worse took over, the phone keeps rebooting and I've had to reset and start all over again and it's still happening. So the dimming is annoying but not nearly as annoying as not being able to use the phone at all!
I wrote about this throttling a few times here during the last days, search for my recent posts! in short: this throttling also happens when all auto brightness functions are turned off, and even if you manually set the lowest brightness! it depends on CPU load, thermal envelope and/or power-draw! I personally find it very annoying, especially because it happens also on lowest levels...

I know some people won't want to do this, but it's something I do that I personally find helps with battery life. Nothing revolutionary, and some people won't want to but... different strokes for different folks. It's very tempting with this beautiful screen of ours to blast the brightness and get the most out of the Super AMOLED (or whatever they're calling it these days) but I've found if I'm in the same environment reading/watching videos/whatever to turn the brightness ALL the way down. Struggle with that for a few minutes while your eyes try to adjust, then turning the brightness up just a tiny bit will be (or at least seem) plenty bright. Anyway, combining that along with having rooted with Scott's CleanROM (I'm on Verizon) and my battery life has been golden! [emoji2]
Here's a screenshot of where I'll often have my brightness after doing this.

Seems really low, but I have no problem reading or doing anything at this brightness, unless I'm out in direct sunlight or something. Anyway, just my .02

This is not a trick.
Suggestion then
I use the slider on the left to turn down the brightness in mxplayer which is my de facto movie watching app.... Turn it to 15 in bright day time environments and down to 5 indoors or in dark scenarios. Otherwise the system wide default is +5 on the notification slider and auto. Able to cross 5.5 SOT easily with this much.
I have a trick to open the phone. I use the power button on the side or the home button on the front of the phone.

You should try out adaway! It's much more powerful than adblockplus, it actually modifies the host file. Also, try out lux if you haven't. It's seriously my favorite and most essential app. I don't know how I survived without it all these years.
