Hi guys,
How do I adjust the screen brightness upon screen on when using wave control app? The screen is on but the light is not. So the screen is very dim for checking for any notifications on the status bar.
Thanks!!!
There is no 'light' behind the screen, that isn't how these work. The screen brightness is simply too low to read.
Disable the app and turn it up, simple.
If you don't like how it works in the app then contact the app maker and tell them.
Thank you!!!

I noticed everytime I swipe to check my notifications my brightness levels change forcing me to set them again. I don't like the auto brightness optiom so I wanted to know if there was an app that would lock the brightness levels
Not that I know of. There are widgets that let you toggle brightness options, but don't lock them there.
It sounds like your solution is to stop sliding your finger from left to right on the notification bar. That's what's changing your brightness. Just pull it straight down when you need it.
I may be misunderstanding the issue, but it sounds like the power saving setting under settings> sound and display. The option is at the bottom by tv out. Alternatively turn off auto brightness (assuming you haven't already.)
Edit: there's also a brightness setting in the browser (menu> more> brightness setting)

It seems that TouchWiz has a brightness toggle built into the notification bar. If you just barely pull down, then slide sideways, you change the brightness. Just pull down faster and/or straighter to avoid it.
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

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 guys, is there any option or an app or something to lower the dimmed screen brightness? I like my watch always on, but I find it a bit to bright, especially at night.

Not the OP, but yeah, "1" is pretty bright in a dark room.

well in the setting there's only setting for brithness when the watch's awake and an option to turn always on, which turn the display off.. I'd like it always on but just a bit darker
Try another watchface
Today I use the "Aviation Watch" and the dim mode is not full white but a little yellow and it is darker than other.
I have also the "Less is more" watchface and you can setup the font color for active and dim mode. I setup my dim color to dark grey and it is very dark in dim mode.

it's not about the background brightness of the watchface.. the screen backlit is always on, and I think it's too bright in dimmed mode.. at least at night. This is the only thing why I regret buying this over the samsung gear live as the amoled screen must look gorgeous in dimmed mode when only the numbers are visible.
I agree. Even with always on set to off, my screen lights up every time I get a notification.
Basically anybody near me could read it. I'd rather it just vibrate. And make me double tap to wake.

Using a clock face with the option of dimmed display settings like Pujie Black - Wear Watch Face turn off all dimmed and it's black display completely off, until wrist turns.
Almost all watchfaces from Smartwatch Bureaux have 2 brighness setup for active and dim mode. You can setup dim mode very very dark but backlight is always ON.
I would like an APP that I can set the Screen to OFF from 1 am until 8 am then back to always on. I dislike having to change the settings when I lay down and wake up.
That is the beauty of Android... some smart programer will write some code for an app and I will buy it...
Just got the V10 and the second screen dims after 2 or 3 seconds after turning off the main screen. Is there a way to adjust the timing when the second screen dims? The dimmed second screen is almost unreadable because it is so dim.
Ditto, the idea that this is a replacement for a notification LED is really damaged by the dimming. (It's not just me that bought the phone based on that idea, right?) What I've found so far:
With the screen brightness set to 0, the second screen dims fully a few seconds after sleeping. Icons become about as noticeable as dust reflections.
With the screen brightness set to 100, the second screen follows the ambient light sensor after sleeping. Under bright light it turns itself up to the point where it's useable.
I've been playing with all the LEDs that Light Flow sees, but at least without root, nothing has any effect. I might look through the /sys files later. We probably need to get root first to figure this out.
On auto brightness it seems to be that the device adjusts the dimmed display for the ambient lighting? It's not the easiest thing in the world to see, but it's certainly not hard for me to see what notifications I have. I really prefer this over a colored LED.
Light Flow settings
For what it's worth, here's my current setup, now that the T-Mobile H901 is rooted. This does no one without root any good, and I don't know how it would translate to similar LED managers. I've been using Light Flow since the Sapphire (MyTouch 3G).
Light Flow device settings: check direct mode, root mode, and run every command as root. The Nexus 5 force reset option is checked by default and I don't know if that's relevant (no calls yet). Everything else in the menu is unchecked.
Let Light Flow control lcd-backlight-ex.
In a notification, set that "LED" to Solid and to 255 brightness. Check Enable Mixer and App controlled flash. With that last setting, the app will reset the brightness every few seconds even if the system dimmed it due to an ambient light change.
Now I need to edit some notification icons to be big and colorful. I wonder how this will impact battery life? Now the app is going to be awake all the time.
I've noticed that today on auto brightness the second screen will increase in light but not much. It also is not as smoth of a transition as on main display. It kinda jumps up real quick..
Yes for me I've noticed on Auto brightness the second screen will dim in a dark room and if you turn off your phone while in that room then come out... The second screen is still dim.... It's like th second screen doesn't respond to the light sensors at all unless the main screen is on.

It would have been nice if lg included the capability to change the second screen settings such a brightness or text color.

Another one of many things that it would be cool to see baked into a custom stock rom. Good stuff. I wonder if Cloudyfa might come over and cook on this awhile. I have always loved his stock Roms....

Color would be cool. A classic CRT bright/lime green, for instance, would probably show up much better than the white.
We need to get on their forums with these ideas. Maybe some will get squeezed into an update
An app which turns off auto dim in case screen is off would be pretty much help. Maybe I'll develop one.
Hi there,
Does anybody know of a way to lower or illuminate the light of the static - back/home/show all screens - buttons? When reading my phone in a dark room, the lights are quite heavy on the eyes.
Kind regards,
Martin
Mine seem to change with the screen brightness. Do you have your ambient display turned on.

Thnx for the reply! It does indeed change simultaneously with the screen brightness, but it will always stay on. I was wondering if maybe the button lights could be turned off completely and only appear when the screen is touched for example. But I'm guessing it's not possible.
