So I know there are many issues with this especially on the s3 and I did find a fix for the TW roms
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1791163
...but my issue is how the sensor perceives brightness. My problem is the sensor reads a dim room at 0 much like it treats a pitch black room. So when I adjust the brightness to be low at 0 for when I'm in a dark room (bed) it also gives me the same brightness level in a dim room. Any solutions for this. I would like to adjust what 0 means.
I`am using Lux Autobrightness from Google Play, the paid version (not expensive) and it works for me. You can set values so the backlighting of the screen is raised or lowered for a good screen view.

I use it too but the problem is that 0 for the brightness sensor is the same in a no light and low light situations.

Is there a way to change where the light sensor readings trigger a change in brightness level?
Currently the phone change from lowest brightness to higher when reads 30lux and change to lowest brightness when reads 10lux.
It's annoying for the phone to change to lowest brightness when i still in a light up room but just pointed away from light sources. And also it's also not switching to higher brightness when i need it in a dim environment.
So, anyone know of some app that can adjust these values? Or point me some direction to work on it.
Light Sensor is Ok, but...
Using z-device test I compared the light sensor readings between SGS2 and the NS. The light sensor seems to be correct. Still, at 10 lux, the SGS2 is setting the brightness value to its lowest and the NS, not.
I'm starting to believe that there is a a problem between the mapping from the light sensor and the brightness level. If I'm not mistaken this can only be fixed/adapted within the ROM.

As from what i read, S2 seems to divide the screen brightness into 5 level
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1235212&highlight=auto+brightness
However, the mapping of these five level to it's correspondence light sensors reading seems to be odd.
let's just call lowest brightness as lv1 and highest as lv5,
The phone will stay on lv1 whenever the sensors read from 0-30lux
The phone will drop to lv1 whenever the sensors read 10lux.
The gaps is just too wide to give a pleasant viewing experiences, often stay on lv1 brightness while i'm no longer in pitch black area.
if there is a way to change this, i would prefer to set it as
stay on lv1 whenever sensors read 0-5lux
drop to lv1 whenever sensors read 2lux (the lowest brightness lv is only feasible for me when inside a pitch black environment)
Since there is a file determine it's brightness value for each lv, so i'm thinking there should also one for it's mapping.
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
It works, it's just that it over compensates in the dark.
I know there is probably not much that can be done about it, just thought I'd ask.
I think the Auto brightness is adjustable.
I agree it gets too dim, but works fine in normal lighting conditions.
The brightness is adjustable, manually. I have not found any means of adjusting the bounds of the auto brightness mode. It is the low intensity limit that needs adjustment.
I would like to be able to have a feature like adaptive brightness like what's on pure Android without a third party app...

While on auto brightness tap the sun burst directly opposite the checked auto brightness. Voila!
0-50-90
But then the whole phone goes dim. We want the brightness of the 2nd screen to stay bright at all times so we can see it.

Awesome! Didnt know about that feature!
I find the auto brightness is a little too dim. I would prefer if it was 10-15 points brighter than what the algorithm chooses. Now I leave auto brightness off in most cases of active use

The minimum brightness level on this phone is quite a bit higher than other phones with OLED panels. Is there any way to change this? Using power saving mode with the screen at minimum brightness makes the screen a bit dimmer and so does inactivity so we know the screen definitely has the capability to go darker. Anyone know how we can make the brightness darker?
P.S no screen filter suggestions pls
I use Lux Auto Brightness, screen can go significantly darker

And that would work for me but the only issue is the software buttons at the bottom don't dim with the screen and it's really weird looking. That's why I said no screen filters, please.

It's not a screen filter, what would even make you think that? Plus it does dim the software buttons. Maybe it's because you don't have root?
If you on 7.0, try "Night Mode Enabler" from the PlayStore.
On my Z Play, the Lux app does not dim the buttons either. I don't have root. OTOH I don't recall seeing in the Lux documentation that it uses root for anything?
Also, I'm 90%+ certain that Lux *is* a screen filter. I say that because it differentiates between two ranges of brightness: "above zero" and "below zero". It seems likely that the "below zero" settings (which are necessary to get the display very dim at all) are modifying the display data rather than the system brightness setting. Of course, on an AMOLED screen this should be just as good... except for those darn buttons!!
BTW, all of this "night mode" stuff has, unfortunately, just confused the issue for those of us who need to preserve our night vision while using our phones. "Night mode" has come to mean "make the color temperature redder" because that seems to avoid some of the ill health effects of blue light at night. But it doesn't do squat to preserve night vision---for that you need to get the brightness way, way down. If you're trying to use your phone at the telescope, you're just as screwed as before, only now, the google search terms are more polluted, making it harder to find an actual solution.
I’ll explain myself,
A regular lcd need to be brighter in the sun, so when it’s the brightest outside and be dimmed when it’s darker.
The stratos works the same way as an lcd screen... even if it’s not the same screen type,
It’s should be the exact opposite, brighter when it’s dark and dim when it’s bright.
I’m looking for a fix for this as I don’t need my back light to be at 5 even if it’s super bright outside...
Anyone got an idea?
solution?
i have the same. did you find something?
A workaround - set the brightness to 1, it's the lowest level and it works fine in the dark IMO, I have no need for autobrightness at all in this way.
