Hi, I have an I9100G, with rooted stock ROM, firmware DZKI1, Android 2.3.5. I'm just curious about a couple of items in the Display settings. There's an option called Brightness - Adjust the brightness of the screen, and when we click it, we can adjust the brightness or select the checkbox for Automatic brightness. On the same screen, a bit further down, there's another setting for Auto adjust screen power - Save power by analyzing image and adjusting LCD brightness. Anybody knows what's the difference between the two?
One uses an external light sensor to adjust for lighting conditions.
the other uses an internal sensor to adjust the colour display depending on the background of the graphic and how many colours are used.
So,
Today I was messing around with GO Launcher EX and GO Locker, and I didn't like the performance, at all...so I did a search and found an app called spare parts that was supposed to help the animation speed, after a while of messing around, I noticed that my display wasn't nearly as bright as it was an hour ago. I checked and made sure that the display brightness setting was set to 100%, and that auto-adjust screen power was turned off, and the display was still about half as bright as when I started today.
How can I test if I messed something up? Or is this normal for a AMOLED display? Is there an app I can download that will force the brightness to go to 100%, to see if some app is messing with it? What the heck is going on.
Emmmmmooooo rrraaagggeee!!!
So I got a app that controls brightness , and in fact confirmed that the default controls were only boosting brightness to around 80 percent. What can affect the settings like this? Using automatic brightness, or changing the brightness through anything but this app leaves the screen dimmer than it normally is. I can't even use the touchwiz settings widget.
Interesting.
So, to further report on this odd behavior,
After further investigation, the brightness with auto-brightness seemingly drops light output further than the "0" setting in my brightness app, and further than the slider allows manually adjusting via the settings>display panel. Odd.
So,
I disabled all auto-brightness via the settings in the TouchWhiz apps (read: the browser and the video/audio player), and was just controlling brightness via the app I installed.
Later today, i turned on auto-brightness again via the Power Saving widget, and the issue where the screen dims farther than any manual settings allowed was gone. Again, i only have an issue with max brightness now-- using both the system settings panel to adjust brightness as well as using auto-brightness via both the power saving widget as well as the system settings panel.
So, in summary: the max brightness issue remains, and i can only set it to about 80% without using the brightness app i installed (the app allows me to set it to 100%....where as in the system settings, the slider goes to 100%, and stays at 100%, but the screen looks like its at about 80%. Using the brightness app i installed allows me to boost it back to 100%, but as soon as i change the brightness in the system settings app, or the power saving widget, it maxes out at 80. The slider moves all the way to 100%, but i'm only getting 80% brightness).
Note:
I have no apps installed that affect brightness...0. None of my apps have anything remotely having to do with the display, audio, or it's settings.
Maybe you can help me?
I turned off the auto brightness in the system settings/display/brightness but it seems that the screen starts to dim (sometimes). I hate this...I have to touch the screen to retain brightness. I don't want auto dimming...I want the level I set (which is about half way on the slider).
Where can I find a master override?

Adjust screen timeout. This happens when your screen is going to automatically turn off
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I717 using XDA
Thanks... I'll check it out.
Also in display settings uncheck "auto adjust screen power"
Was there ever a solution to this? I am now starting to get this issue of screen will not respond to 100% brightness...and the option to change display brightness is greyed out in settings. It seems to be a problem with 'power savings' which I would like to completely remove from my phone as even when I turn it off, it is keeping me from adjusting my screen brightness when below 20% battery...and with my 5400 mah battery 20% is a full 8 hour day left...really irritating...only way to solve is to charge above 20%...or go enable power savings, then disable it again...but problem returns every time the screen goes off.
Hi everybody , I recently replaced lcd and digitizer for my ONE X+ and there is weird problem with brightness. When I change the brightness it looks like has no calibration with new display, because brightness changes in a very little area for example if this is my brightness settings:
_________________________________ so the red area is where my brightness changes from lowest to highest, and then its just stay high.
How can I resolve this problem?

Is the Power Saving mode enabled? That limits screen brightness by default.

Thank you for response, but it stays in "Highest" mode most of the time and "power saver" usually sets in "Lower".
And no it is not the power saver mode enabled.
so from the galaxy s4 and now s5 there is a mode that activates in bright sunlight that is a super boost brightness mode, and so far i have only seen it work with the stock auto brightness setting checked
basically while under direct sunlight you will can toggle the auto brightness on/off and see the difference, it takes about 5 seconds for the super boost mode to kick in with auto checked
now i love Lux Lite which lets you customize auto brightness settings but it is unable to access the super boost mode, i tested this yesterday for several minutes, has anyone been able to get this to work?
Is there any way to turn off the annoying content adaptive brightness feature?
The brightness automatically increases when dark scenes are displayed on the screen. This happens even with the auto brightness turned off and is noticeable especially during the night when we use the phone at the lowest brightness settings.
What I've already tried:
1. Turn off auto brightness
2. Turn off automatic contrast
3. Turning off reading mode
4. Turning off content adaptive brightness using MIUI Hidden Settings app
Is there any way to disable this?

It's even noticeable on 8.11.23 though it has improved a lot from previous builds.
Its irritating and finally someone mentioned it, is there no fix for this? This is even present in the EU rom.
Any fix available yet?
This issue still has not been solved, and exists in EU roms, as well as MIUIpro. Can anyone guide to fix this annoying problem?
Driving me crazy. Everytime i use it in car for navigation when the bluetooth reconnect on engine restart screen goes near black.
I've tried droid automation to try and over rule it but still don't work.
