Is there a possiblity out there which allows you to set the min and the max of the display brightness? When I m lieing in bed at night the lowest brightness is too light for me...

+1 for screen filter. Also has widgets to make switching nice and fast.
Yep, Screen Filter - you'll notice the difference in colour on the left side of the screen with it though (personally that doesn't alarm me, since the phone isn't intended to be used at such low brightness settings). Just so you know.
GREAT App!! Thanks a lot

Running ViperRez. Is there a way to make the screen any dimmer than the current lowest setting? . I find it is still too bright at night.

I remember it getting quite dim but you should search for a mod or script.
This should be in the Q&A Section though, not development. Happy searching.

get yourself an app like notification toggle or do it manually in brightness settings. automatic brightness isn't great cause it's always checking light levels every to confirm if brightness needs to be increased or decreased. notification toggle will allow any percentage and as many levels as you want. I use 10,15,20,25,40,50 and 100
youre gonna want to get this app https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.haxor&feature=nav_result#? t=W251bGwsMSwxLDMsImNvbS5oYXhvciJd. its free and it works perfectly and you can make it as dim as you want, even to the point where you cant see the screen on at all, i used to use it to text at night all the time. It also should save your battery, i could go two plus hours screen on time on wifi and be in the high 70s for battery on my inc 2
Quicker. It has screen dim in it. I use it every night.

This works perfectly! Thanks for the help.
I use screen filter too, but keep in mind that it only draws a dark overlay on your screen to let out less light. The LED back light is still at the same level, but less light escapes. So, it really doesn't help your battery since we don't have AMOLED screens.
Chainfire 3D has a "Night Mode" filter if you want to give that a try too: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=eu.chainfire.cf3d
The free version currently has a red-, green-, or blue-only RGB channel filter, as well as Amber and Salmon colored filters. You can fully adjust the RGB values of the filter in the Pro version.
Oddly, there is no "balanced coloring" grayscale filter. Would need to use the previously mentioned app or buy the Pro version and adjust the RGB values equally.
Fun to try out at any rate.
I use Lux. It allows you to reduce screen brightness to completely black and unreadable. I don't know but I don't think it justs adds a transparent black overlay to make it look darker. It seems to actually adjust the brightness below the minimum allowed without the app. Here's a link to it in the market (there is a paid and free version) https://play.google.com/store/apps/...ps#?t=W251bGwsMSwxLDEwOSwiY29tLnZpdG8ubHV4Il0.
Hi.
I just come back from walking around enjoying weather and sun and my s3 screen is too dark on the sun. Do you know any way to increase screen brightness ?
PLS
Dont say stupid " set brightness to 100% ".

You obviously cannot increase the brightness past 100%. if it's set to auto brightness, it is possible (however unlikely) that it's not setting to 100%. I doubt this is the case. But test turning off auto brightness anyway.
Other things you can think about... Black or dark backgrounds make the screen more reflective of light, making it harder to see. Try using Lighter or white themes for maximum visibility.
Again with reflections, you can look out for screen protectors that polarise the light or anti-glare filters etc. This may help. I have never looked for anything like this so I cannot recommend any one in particular.
Short of these few tips, I dont think there is much else that can be done though.,
What about http://goo.gl/IaDVU ? download is empty.
is there any similar ?

These change how auto brightness works. It doesn't actually make the screen brighter. What it can do is increase the sensitivity of the auto brightness, so if you think the screen brightness it chooses (lets pretend 75%) is not bright enough for how light it is outside (2000 lux for example) you can modify the values so 2000 lux = 100%.
So this is only useful if you use auto brightness and auto brigthness has not selected 100% brightness
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.
I am using z2 about 10 monts. Today i feel when i put mobile full brightness i observed some wave running from top to bottom. Specially observed when open NDR utility and es file explorer. Before appearing the both applications interface waves appear for instance. I am worried is it ok or some problem. And also today observed brightness bright more autometically, althoug i am on full brightness. Any help suggestion Thanks in advance
I've noticed the brightness change on its own too sometimes. I always use full brightness (adapt to lighting conditions disabled) and randomly, I'll notice my screen get brighter or darker sometimes. It's completely random, not sure what causes it.

Yup I have the exact same thing. Not sure if others have it as well, but as far as I'm concerned, it's normal (I hope)
You don't want to give your significant other yet another reason to yell at you while you're reading XDA in bed. Rate this thread to express what you think of the Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge's display minimum dimness. A higher rating indicates that the display can get extremely dim, ideal for reading in very dark environments.
Then, drop a comment if you have anything to add!
I don't have on auto brightness or any power saving features on yet my display brightness seems to have a mind of its own. I can be in a dimly lit room and have to put my brightness slider past the halfway mark just to get decent brightness and the always on display will be so dim it's barely visible. Other times I could be in a well lit store or outside and the display will be very bright even with the slider nearly all the way down. It also seems the always on display may get brighter the longer it's on but it starts out very dim even if my brightness is cranked up. I really don't know what to make of it. Sometimes the display brightness seems way worst then my nexus 6p (not saying 6p has bad brightness just using as a reference cause most reviewers claim the brightness on note5/s7 is a bit brighter.) Other times the quality seems better then my friend's note 5.
Adaptive brightness? Sure sounds like it.
I am disappointed it does not go low enough like all android phones tablets etc. I read books in the Kindle app in bed and my iPhone or I pad can go very low brightness but all the android gadgets I have cannot they are always too bright and annoy her. I thought this could be the one but I guess not

Install LUX Auto brightness app and it should solve your problem, in fact you can set it so dim that you can hardly read it.
I find the always on display to bright. Is there a way to dim it a bit?

I totally agree with that, when you cover the sensor the brightness is way better.
It should be part of the environment, now it's more like "HEY LOOK AT THE TIME" kinda distracting

Yeah haha. The funny thing is that the "night clock" is perfectly dimmed. Wished that there was a setting for the AOD (always on display) to have manual brightness controll. And of course app notifications. Which the edge display can show, but the AOD can not. Strange decision of our Sammy friends.

Exactly, that would be perfect, I tried using AOD at work today and it's so distracting that it's actually worthless now. I also tried the night clock at work and it looks great, it doesn't bother me at all and it's very handy. Hope samsung will update AOD because it can be very useful.
But in my opinion the overall (auto) brightness is too bright, when I dim my screen it automatically brighten the display up to what it thinks it is the right brightness compared to the environment . With my previous phone (LG G2) it changed the auto brightness to the user preference.
You can fix this issue, set brightness 100% and reboot.
Hi guys, I noticed right now that if I switch from an high luminosity environment to a very dark one, automatic brightness remains the same and I have to uncheck and check again the "auto" option on notification bar. Other times, in same conditions, it adapt the brightness after some times instead of immediately. Dose have my phone problems?

This is to prevent the display continue changing brightness, it does change but it has a delay so your screen isn't flickering bright, dark, bright, dark.

This has been fixed with the update that came out this week #yay! It's now changing automatically, not as distracting anymore :highfive:
I noted that when I turn on the screen I a low light environment, it has a fade before the screen completely turn on, like a fade effect. I did some tries and this happen only in low light condition. Is this normal?

Yes, but if I put the phone orizonthal (for instance I put I on the table) the brightness change immediately. Why is that?

Do you have MM or Nougat? I noticed the same in MM but it works significantly better in Nougat.
The problems some of you have ... seriously? ?
