Please add the option of modifying auto-brightness levels, like CM 6.1. I suppose that it would require a kernel modification + an app to do this through gui.
Thanks.
What can CM do? I've been thinking it would be nice to be able to modify the min and max, and maybe the curve.

It allows one to arbitrarily edit a table of sensor output vs brightness/button brightness.
It's really nifty.
CM6.1 reports these sensor values:
10, 160, 225, 320, 640, 1280, 2600, 10240
10-160 is in dimly lit indoors, 320-640-1280, in moderately to brightly lit indoors, and the rest is outside.
So I set those to brightness something like 50,60,70,80, 110, 140, 180, 255. A it was perfect to my eye. Not too bright, not too dim.
Didn't ever have to mess with brightness after that.
I'd really like to hear from developers like Netarchy and King, as well as from regular users - if they would like that option.
I would love to see this.
I always feel the auto-sensor tends to be too bright, and never adjusts the screen low enough inside.

That's exactly what I think. Plus, the brightness is not at maximum in direct sunlight (although that might be a safety feature).
Mine always send to bright, or it won't get bright when I go into a bright area until I sleep and wake it. :|

+1 on this. So motivated that I searched for this thread....
Any news?

The stock auto-brightness is way too bright in completely darkness. This is one of the things I had on my list nearly since the beginning. Nobody else seemed to care.

An article showing how useless auto-brightness is:

Do people not notice this or do they just not care?
Pretty sure people have given up on this. It's taken me three days of Google searching to find this thread so people probably don't know where to turn.
The lack of adjustments to the auto brightness values is extremely annoying. Even my old Windows mobile 6 phones had this ability.

There was an application for WM I used to use on my Mogul, cant remember what it was called but it allowed you to calibrate the auto brightness levels. Anyone know what I'm talking about, or if there's an Android version?
This can be done with Tasker in the Market. Its a powerful app and there was a thread a while back about this exact thing. I don't remember what it was called, but I posted in it, so you could browse my posts from a month or so ago.
Hey... This thing makes phone calls too!
Screen is a bit too bright for me even on the lowest settting. I remember reading about an app that let's us knock the brightness below the minimum level, ideal for night reading by all accounts.
Can anyone tell me what this app is called? Does it need root?
Thanks.
No root necessary.

Thanks I will give that a go ... not to keen on this bit though :
"Known issues: - Gingerbread: Filter prevents interaction with Gmail. "
Is this the only one available so far?
It's just buggy. It will "turn off" by itself, and yes mostly when you switch to Gmail. Gets the job done though.

Thanks i'll try it I'd that's the extent of the issue.
Edit: works brilliantly for occasional use bit I'd like something that can be applied permanently and system wide if possible. Don't know if anything exists though... yet?
Nothing else exists, sorry.

OK thanks. Out of interest, am I the only one that finds the nexus s screen just too bright?
I'm sure an app will come along that caters for this if it's seen to be a common observation (though I'm not sure it is).
Na, quite a few people find the screen very bright.. right now Screen Filter is your only option.

i don't have this issue. i keep mine on about 40%
Once the devs start doing custom kernels, we'll get one that can go dimmer. Supercurio, the VooDoo lag-fix guy for the i9000 and other Galaxy S versions is big on color correction and gamma and all of that. One of his early fixes including making it less bright on minimum. He's looking to get a Nexus S, once he does we'll see lots of good stuff.
Meanwhile, even without one, he's chugging out lots of stuff for the NS community. Big fan of his work.
Hello,
I picked up my GS4 about a week ago but haven't really used it in direct sunlight until today. I was outside, and the sun was shining brightly on the screen. Home screen was fine, and darker images were ok, but if I were to go to an app with a primarily white background, or open up something which used the keyboard (texting) the screen would flicker pretty noticeably. Brightness is all the way up, and auto tone was off.
Has anyone else seen this?
yup this is normal esp when using the keyboard.
Im not sure if it will be fixed.

I guess my question is, is this a hardware issue with many GS4's or a minority. I came across a thread on the Tmobile GS4 forum where people were experiencing it, but it seems not everyone is.

Its a hardware thing, but also its only in touchwiz so a developer might be able to turn it off so to speak.
It adjusts the color and tone no matter what to save the display from overheating and or burning in...
Does it a lot and I notice it cause im weird about those kinds of things.
If you use CM 10.1 or AOKP its gone.
ive made some progress with the RGB light meter on this; hoping a friend can write up some code so we can test out a 'smoothed out' transition and sampling rate and one that is sped up, averaged faster, but will take up more CPU and RAM and battery but more accurate.
here is another thread regarding it:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2280715
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2284726
Maybe if someone who is using CM10 or AOKP could test it to see if it is a software issues and not a hardware issue?
edit: slade and jet replied while I was writing this...thanks for the info. looks like it is touchwiz related.
edit2: just went out in the sun again to test a lot of different options in the display settings (which none worked) but is seems it is only happening when the keyboard is enabled. I am using swiftkey.
yeah TW and that sensor communicate; i believe the sensor itself probably works better ALONE, but TW changes it and throttles it for either battery or screen safety.
It is always dependent on what is being pulled up on the screen, though it can be mitigated quite a bit if you disable all power saving and screen auto features, and leave brightness under 80% or so.
yea anything under 80% in direct sun is basically black. all power saving and screen auto modes were disabled. i covered up all of the sensors too and it still flickered....

Not just a sensor thing per-say.
It's hard to explain, they most likely did it because they didn't want the amoled to burn in.
Its the same reason why the brightness goes up another 34% or so on auto above the max brightness. Only uses it when needed to save the screen and battery.
Does it on youtube too btw, bring up a video on wide screen then tap it and you'll see the drastic color shift
I noticed this thing when I got my phone also. I thought I was just imagining it but I guess it's an actual problem

'its not a problem, its a feature'

Seriously its about power handling/battery saving and white balance, but its noticeable, and annoying.

No that's not possible, its hard coded into touchwiz, this isn't a bug or anything...
If people say they don't have it; they're not noticing it.

Thought my eyes were going crazy. Mine does this too. It even did it once under some fluorescent lights. It's not annoying enough to matter but it would be cool if it gets fixed.
so last night i set up my old trusty Nexus 5 and new nexus 6p and watched "The Flash" on netflix. i set them up so they were perfectly synced ... i have to say the crispness and colors on the nexus 5 was MUCH better! the 6P looked not as sharp and the colors were a little washed out. the nexus 5 was very crisp (more detail) and the colors (specially the reds and skin tones) looked a lot more accurate and overall had more "pop".
it was very disappointing, because i was expecting the exact opposite, i will try to post pictures tonight when i get home...
has anyone else noticed this?
Theres a big where HW accelleration uses a reduced RGB range and not the full 0-255.
This is causing videos to look washed out.
theres a big where HW?
theres a big where HW? now i am really confused LOL.
can you please elaborate... is there a fix for this?
thanks

No fix yet. Google will have to provide the fix via an update. Not sure if they have even acknowledged the bug yet though.

Hi, I have a OP8 Pro, and after the update to Android 11, i get a green tint instead of blacks on the screen when i am bellow 40% brightness.
When i was running android 10 that was no issue, so i am pretty sure its not the hardware.
Do you have any ideas why this is happening? Will One Plus fix this?
Common issue reported by many...
Personally I don't have the issue at any brightness but it's due to low brightness which is why the lowest brightness was removed in an update and readded in labs in android 11, turn that off and run FHD (QHD doesn't give they much clarity anyway, plus your battery life will be better)
There's a good few threads regarding this issue already, have a look.
Thank you!

Terrible screen tint/uniformity
Hi guys, looks like OnePlus have got some quality control issues. My unit has terrible colour issues with the display. It's very noticeable at low brightness levels and still apparent around the 50% mark. I've reached out to OnePlus about sorting...
