Hello all,
I've applied the latest update yersterday Oxygen 4.5.3 now, but there is still an issue with the adaptive brightness. When I'm in a dark room, the display is also very dark, hard to read. When it should be a bit brighter. So the problem was supposed to be solved with this last update, and... well... either I've got really bad eyes, or it's not fixed yet.
How's your display? Same thing, it's too dark to be readable?
Cheers
Same here. Auto Brightness is not working properly.
Improved but not yet perfect
Bye
I use Lux Auto Brightness - works perfect.

Remember the regular Galaxy S6 edge? How it was about 60-70 cm/knits less bright than the regular S6 at maximum manual brightness in darker environments? This would be a deal breaker for me if this is the case because I like to ratchet up my phone on full brightness and experience all the best color reproduction at the highest contrast. Anyone with the early edge+ units confirm if Samsung did away with this weird programming? Edge+ and Note 5 should be around the same manual max brightness as the regular S6 and S6 edge.
S6 edge+ still has brightness bug
yes the s6 edge plus has the brightness bug. Checked demo units at all major carriers at the mall. Note 5 does not have the issue. Can't believe Samsung still has this problem. I will also pass on the edge plus and the note 5 does not have enough new features to make me upgrade. So I guess it is no new phone for me!

I can now also confirm that the "bug" is in place. It has to be intentional, because this is the second time it's specific to an edge variant. Whatever the case, I am going to have to settle for a Note 5. Which is disappointing, because the color selection is generic black or white. I wanted the edge just for that gold color. I am annoyed they couldn't bring the silver variant of the Note 5 to North America at least.
can one of you guys try velis auto brightness and see if that works!!!! im considering this device but i want to make sure I can also use it with out this weird brightness bug !!!

I can't answer to max brightness on manual-mode being different between devices.
But do want to let you folks know that max manual brightness will never be as bright as max auto brightness, even when using 3rd party apps such as Lux or Velis.
Just in case ya'll didn't already know.
I know, I've tried.
There are hacks (search my threads for the script I created) to make manual brightness just as bright as auto brightness, but the hack does not work very well.
I have the tmobile variant and it has this bug , very annoying how could they screw this up twice and on the best looking screen display they have ever made
+1 but
Is not a brightness bug. This is our limit I guess due to the curved screen edges...
And is not that bad at all people.
Only for 10% lower????....pfff take it who cares.
But yeah it's surprised me too.....at least they fixed that stupid sharp edges.
If this screen isn't bright enough for someone, they need to go to a doctor immediately.
It's not that it's not bright enough lol, it when max brightness dims when going into a low lighted area even with auto brightness turned off.
I'd have bought the S6 if the screen brightness could be manually adjusted from 0 to 600 nits like any normal phone. The S6 is not as bright indoors as an iphone and apparently despite all the customizations available on Android, this is still not possible.
The Note 5, however, has a bright enough screen that max brightness is as bright as an iphone. The Note 5 has a clearly superior screen to the S6. It's got to be a different panel in terms of quality. Had they made a 128 gb Note 5 I would have thought long and hard about a Note 5.
Samsung stop overthinking this. Unlock the full range of autobrightness regardless of whether we are out in the sun or not.
It's pretty obnoxious that it adjusts the brightness by itself even if it's turned off, it's unbearable if you're outdoors since it dims the screen so much on it's own:\. Is there not a fix?
Can't believe there's no official patch for this. Got a software update this morning and it did not fix it.
I've read reviews that claim:
- Not as bright as the Note 5
- Just as bright as the Note 5
- As dim as the Nexus 6 (last years)
- Dim, but bright when adaptive brightness turned off.
So, anyone know for sure? A cd/m2 measurement would be great. The brightness of the original Nexus 6 was a big disappointment.

Friends on what you consider dim/bright to be.
Majority say no problem in bright sun, so it's "bright" enough.
There is an app for the Nexus 6 to blast the screen real bright when outdoors. I have not tried it, but I've read ppl like it. If the P is not bright enough I'm sure an app will be available for cranking the brightness up.
356 nits ....but im hoping it can be more based on many of the (almost as bright as note 5)
Nexus 6 was 270.....so much broghter than last year, but much dimmer than note 5.
By Much i mean 30% more than last year but 30% less than note 5.....
I think it should be fine. Nexus 5 is 400 but I have never turned it above 75% even outdoors. 356 would be at the high end but I have no worries about it.

Brightness seems to be pretty sad unfortunately :-/

Another thing we have to point out is its poor visibility outdoors when the sun is present – it washes out tremendously to the point that it’s unusable unless we shield it. Achieving a maximum luminance of 356 nits, it’s not as potent as the Nexus 5X mark of 487 nits, and nowhere close to the blinding 593 nits reached by the iPhone 6s Plus.

I heard you turn off adaptive brightness mode and the phone gets brighter, like it said above.
Wait this is less brighter than the LG G3.......and the LG G4 is the one I have and it's the darkest most uncomfortable handset to use with minimal sun.... wtf??? *cancels order* I'm just gonna wait for nexus I/O 2017 this is horrible... but I doesn't make sense why every reviewer says it's the brightest screen they've seen thus far....smh

You have to take into account that brightness isn't the only thing that matter for readability under very high ambient luminosity.
Screen reflectivity, contrast and color saturation are as important as brightness. And the LG G4 (like most of the LCD) is very reflective, not even close to an AMOLED in contrast and can't achieve the same saturation that what is possible with an AMOLED panel.
In fact, if you go read a GSMArena review, you will see that under direct sunlight, the G4 isfar less readable than a Motorola Nexus 6...
Reflectivity etc is important, I agree. But I am hoping that the nits readings are with the standard adaptive brightness etc on. The mid 300s isn't as great as I'd like, and is around the overall average.
Nevertheless, the UK winter is coming and sunlight readability becomes a moot point!
I agree that 350nits is average at best.
But the biggest problem, IMO, is that the display on the 6P seems to be not as close to the glass as the latest Samsung devices. This will lead to an higher reflectivity.

Thats a big problem IMO. The brightness level is pitiful. Why Google?
Anyone trying to defend the brightness is out of touch. The tests from a few posts
above is conclusive. I held off ordering to see if there were any things that would come up
in initial reviews. Battery life seems also to be hit and miss.

Very poor brightness
Just got the 6P. Don't like the brightness at all. Am coming from the G3 and it's really sad. The Galaxy S6 is awesome. I always keep the phone at max brightness. Damn the battery, I say. I thought initially that perhaps the adaptive brightness setting was enabled. But it's not.
On paper it's brighter than the Nexus 6. But looking at them side by side, I don't see it even remotely brighter.
I hope that it's not really a limitation in the hardware and can be increased with a software mod.
i just walked outside in california sun at 1:00pm. i can read texts just fine. might have hard time looking at dark images because well black is...not lit... but i rather have little dimmer screen to preserve battery life and plus less prone to burn-ins.

Well. That's sad to hear :/ I guess I'll stick with my $250 500+ cd/m2 Idol 3.
Hi
I recently bought a OnePlus3 - which has a non standard sRGB color calibration - I think it looks beautiful.
With the recent firmware update, I can turn on sRGB but then the display looks kind of dull - it actually looks dull like my S4.
Question:
Is there a hack/mod for my S4/CM13 - I can use to get more vibrant (maybe false) colors, like the ones I have on my OP3?
Galaxy S4 already uses the dynamic display mode by default, which causes colors to look extremely vibrant and saturated.
CM13 has a color calibration option.
I am not able to get WHITE on the galaxy S4 compared to OP3 - using the settings / calibration.
http://imgur.com/a/pQXg0
The OP3 on the left has brightness at 80-ish% and the S4 at 100%.
Even if I set the adaptive mode to 'Outdoor' it is still a greyish/yellow-white compared to OP3.

I know it's an old post, but you can adjust the colour temperature to get the same effect.

I think the screen is too bright and I plan on rooting my g4 plus when the 7.0 update rolls out. I think it's possible but what apps can do this? I come from a jailbroken iPhone 5c which already had low brightness but with a tweak you could fully turn off the background lights.
I'm with you here. The moto g4 lowest brightness is actually still very bright

Is anyone else having issues with adaptive brightness taking a while to adjust? I am on stock 8.0 with latest security update. When I open the phone it can take 3 seconds or so to apply before I can see the screen.
yes there is a problem, and it is even more irritating for me when in low light room i turn on the screen and it takes 3-4 sec to turn down the brightness
Yes, I have the same issue. Also, my friend has Xiaomi Mi A1 and he also has the same issue. The ambient light sensor responds slowly for some reason. My wife has Redmi Note 4X and its ambient light sensor is much better. Responds instantly when the light changes (e.g. exposing it to direct sunlight). Also, the screen is so much better on the Redmi Note 4X, I couldn't believe. I compared them side by side, and the whites are so white on Redmi Note 4X. On my Xiaomi Mi A1 the white is...yellow, wtf.

Are you sure night light isn't turned on on your phone ?
there are 2 types of screens used in Mi A1, and apparently one of them is showing yellowish colors like you described. the other one is much better and i am really satisfied with color reproduction even with the blacks (not like amoled ofc but really deep).

Of course not. It's just that the display on Redmi Note 4X has better color accuracy. Before I thought Mi A1 has identical hardware as Redmi Note 4X, buy it seems that's not the case.
By now the only thing that annoys me on my Mi A1 is this ambient light sensor being too slow. Apart from that, the phone is OK for the price.

I guess I wasn't the lucky one to get the "right" display.
Ok, after I posted this I turned up the brightness to 50% and still have adaptive switched on, it seems to have sorted it. Previously it was on 5% so maybe there is a bug there that is seeing what brightness setting level it is and adjusting that way and taking too long. Try it and see if it helps (or lower from 50%)

Mi A1 has identical hardware as Mi 5x. And you will be able to adjust the colour of the screen if you root (I'm not sure if it will make it better, because I've got the "right' display, so can't test it)

you can check which display is used in you phone by entering specific code in dialer (i cant remember the code :/), there you can see which components are used, 2 sets of different screens, memories and cameras( not 100% sure for this one) are used.

Did it and the app (Factorykit Test) hangs with a black screen on version info. I think all the other options are fine.
Does it work with the phone rooted with magisk with the stock rom+recovery?
Edit- disabling magisk and xposed solved the issue. The rear modules are OV12A10ii and OV13880ii.

Doesn't work with Xposed. Disable Xposed, reboot, do the tests and enable it again.
