Hi everyone, I'm a big fan of dark displays at night and I've noticed something interesting about brightness behavior on OP2:
Auto-Brightness at it's lowest setting seems to get display backlight significantly dimmer (in complete darkness) than Manual Brightness at it's lowest setting.
Is there any way to achieve the same low level of backlight when using manual brightness?
I'm running OxygenOS 2.2.1-2, latest Boeffla kernel, rooted, Xposed.

Hi guys
Which preference do you use? Is automatic brightness option best for battery saving?
i remember it was an official battery saving tip for iPhone and wondered if it's the case for N1.
eh, just keep it on the lowest brightness... thats the best bet
the problem with auto-brightness is that it fluctuates a bit too much if you're in a room with localised lights and shadows... even in a seemingly bright area to your eyes, the display will go to lowest brightness... i just found it personally annoying, as it would usually fluctuate when i wasn't expecting, and to a lower brightness than i could stand... i've since stopped using it... i set my brightness manually to about 25%... for me that's a good balance between a usuable brightness for all conditions, while still giving good battery life...
I use auto brightness with locale which toggles it on and off based on my location. But even before I did that I really didn't notice to much of a difference in battery levels at the end of the day.
I just wish there were min and max settings for auto brightness. Cause I am pretty sure I have never needed the brightness turned all the way up.
i prefer auto brightness if it works. my 1st N1 had a glitch where the screen brightness used to flicker. on my 2nd N1 the auto brightness does not adjust on full scale........(if you go into 100% dark room, the brightness setting must automatically drop to 0)
I too found that the auto-brightness flickered too much. I downloaded Brightness Level off the marketplace and never looked back...
Auto-brightness fluctuates too much for my liking. So, I just keep it set to middle brightness.
the light sensor is unstable, so manually 25% all the time..
Auto brightness too dark
In my Nexus autobrightness works ok outdoors, but indoors it sets the light too dark. I wish it`d work fine because it's a waste of time adjusting it manually every time you move into different light conditions.
I've read Nexus users report different behaviours of their light sensors, maybe it is a bad quality component of the phone. Is there an app which can modify the sensibility of the light sensor? Would be great to adjust this sensibility and set brightness always to auto with a little more brightness indoors in my case.
manual, 25% - the best balance of battery and light for me.
i use about 60%. I hated the automatic brightness because it was darker than I would like most of the time.
My position is, I bought a phone that has a high resolution, so why not give it the brightness to make the color "pop" like they should.
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.
Guys,
Just wondering if there's any mods or tweaks we can do to adjust the auto brightness on the Nexus 7. Under normal indoor conditions, it's just way too low. I can turn it off and keep it around 50%, which is better, but if I step outside into the sun, I then have to manually turn it up again.
Are there any tweaks we can do to turn the auto brightness up so I can keep it on but have a brighter screen?
There are these apps:

They seem to do what you are after, setting your own preset levels for the auto brightness?
Not sure if many of you have noticed but on the Moto X it seems the backlight will slightly flicker to adjust to colors on the screen. It is most noticeable when the brightness is on minimum setting in a dark room and occurs even though auto brightness is off. Simply going from my launcher page 1 to 2 will flicker my brightness 4 times.
I've seen this issue before on another device running a custom CM rom, so I figured it must be a software issue. Which I think I traced to being the color mode of the display. Go to Settings > Color Mode > Select Normal, this should fix the issue if it bothers you. If you use a custom kernel try using KCal to modify the display colors instead.
Let me know if you have this issue on your device, or if my eyes are just crazy. :silly:
Update: When watching youtube videos in full screen my display still flickers the brightness. I also set my lowest brightness to 1 in Gravitybox. So I don't understand why the brightness wants to flicker.
I noticed the same thing while using my phone in a dark room. My immediate thought was to change the color mode in the settings but it made no difference.
What rom and kernel are you using?

Just tried to replicate the problem on cm13 but everything worked fine. I only get this issue with stock or stock based roms

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.
