Is the a way or an app to turn down the brightness level beyond the lowest default. I have used some apps and os setting. What I have noticed is that at f the lowest brightness just before the screen timed out it would dim down a little bit more...i like to get to that level without phone being rooted if I can. Thanks
I use dimmer it lowers it to the possible lowest value of 10 from default lowest 30.
Colorfix from Voodoo team looks like can achieve even further tweaking of the brightness level.
Thanks for the fast reply. I will check out dimmer. When I said "default"...default brightness level the phone were set to initially.
Was trying an APP call Dimmer Lite and it could not retain screen brightness profile with level lower than 10%. Error out saying the OS does not allow it.
Is it true that 2.1 Eclair will not let you turn down screen brightness level below 10% ?
Hey guys,
Wat's te ideal brightness setting for the battery? Mines on about 20-30% but in battery usage it says 58% usage and the phone hardl last a day ...
Any thoughts?
Stats in Battery usage graph and your Brightness level is completely two different things.
I always use Auto.
I think I will try that. I also wonder if noled app is having an effect but I set the brightness on that to 1%.
Ever since 2.3.4 I've had mine on full brightness. The battery on 2.3.4 roms has always been good for me.
Is that stock or custom ROM?
Also anyone find that once the battery saver option kicks in that when it recharges that the settings don't switch back to what they were previously? A bit annoying as I don't want to have to manually change my screen timeout etc everytime.
Also what's the option for adjust screen brightness tickbox about just below the general brightness setting? Don't quite understand that.

You mean background effect?
- Dynamic: bright, vivid colors
- Standard: standard colors.
- Movie: contrast higher, warmer image.

I think the option is: "Auto adjust power" int he Display settings menu. Something about analyzing images or something.
Anyone able to expand upon this please?

since its upgrading to samoled+ even we set the brighness to 0 it is still bright but then again depending your eyes and needs of battery consumption (bc) theres also a"custom rom"way like hollow to follow or if you prefered moderate usage without flashing i think on 20-30% bright it contribute to bc
My browser is set is have the brightness at 0 which is fine, I think there's a service in the background using more CPU than it needs. Likelihood it is a Glu game ~.~.
Hello,
I have tried to tune the auto brightness levels with the CyanogenMod Settings, but it seems that there is a threshold that makes values below 20 to not be any darker than 20.
My problem is that I use my phone for playing music when I'm driving, however I have to turn the screen off since it is way to bright when it is sitting in the windscreen at night.
Can anyone confirm if this is the case and if there is something that can be done to lower the brightness below 20?
I have previously read this thread about lowering the auto brightness levels on other ROMs. However this feature is already in CM7, but my experience is that it can't be lowered below 20...
Thanks!
Hello,
I'm one of those first users who has received GS3 in the first days of June and a user of the FoxHound Rom which is very good since doing some undervolting, modifying the kernel and changing some other setting like free ram modem changing I achieved a very very long battery life (at least +50% of battery life) and a butter like transition as screen effects.
The only problem for me, which would be with every GS3, it's the maximum brightness. It's too low. In the FoxHound mod there's the famous STweak which theoretically has a setting to improbe the maximum brightness from 28 (default) to 35... but I don't think that it works.
Do you know some other root app or some kind of mod which allow a really improvement of maximum brightness? Cuz as default, this display is too dark under the sun, which is one of the the two major defects of this smartphone (the other one is the materials... I'm ok with the chassis made of PC but the backcover made of PC too, no. I'd have rather chose some aluminum alloy or mg alloy with MAO treatment.)
Thanks in advance guys.
Auto brightness is profoundly terrible on the S3.

Try Lux Autobrightness in Google Play. It works for me.

Does it increase battery drain?

I guess it will but not much so far.
No guys, wait a moment.
If I'm not wrong, your talking about apps which modify AUTObrightness. But as for that I've already solved just with STweaks which allows to modify autobrightness setting. My concern is for MAXIMUM brightness..Maximum brightness is not modified by autobrightness settings.
As for me lux doesn't change the maximum level.

I`am only interested in the minimum autobrightness values. And this apps solves it for me.
As for minimum value I agree but this doesn't solve at all what I asked in the first post

Uhm ... that's bad ... I mean, what I need is exactely the FoxHound (graphic aosp like, all samsuns built-in apps, downclock and downvolt option on both CPU and GPU, STweaks, kernel like siyah) just with better maximum brightness ... so changing to an aosp rom, I'd prefer to avoid it.
I'm giving a shot to the tone tweak but I don't see any remarkable improvement at the moment...

Where are those modifications to Auto brightness? I don't see anywhere in STweaks where they can be made.
"min_bl" in brightness curve setting.. if you increase it the screen will remain at lower brightness level at higher environment brightness.. practically you change how it reacts to environmental brightness. As for me, it works.
But here you cannot decrease the minimum brightness level.
Any hint?
Hi, I flashed a few different kernels recently to test them out. Now my screen brightness is really dim even at 100%. How can I make my brightness go back up? I could even settle for something that just makes the 100% brightness value higher.
Does anyone know if any root config files affect brightness? If so, which ones?
