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 figured this would come along by now but for some reason it hasn't. On my iPhone I could set my brightness that the auto brightness would adjust accordingly. Because the auto brightness is generally too bright or too dark. Also maybe adding some timing controls for how long before the auto brightness adjusts. The displays in these devices suck down the battery like crazy this would help significantly.

I too thought we might have seen this by now. I know there have been some tweaks in ROMs, but a slider that sets the sensitivity or the upper/lower limits would be excellent.

Extended controls has an Auto Brightness setting, same as Froyo Power Control widget.
What OP wants is auto setting where you can control sensitivity of light sensor.
Ok I'll try explaining again. Communication isn't my strong suite. Basically, on an iPhone you can set auto brightness, then under auto brightness checkbox you have a slider that calibrates the brightness throughout the range of the ambient light sensor. So it's still a brightness control it just works in conjunction with the auto brightness setting. Being able to fine tune the brightness throughout the range of the ambient light sensor would be a bonus because with the current auto brightness I can barely see the screen in daylight but it's not maxed out because I can still adjust it all the way up with the power control widget and the opposite is true at night, i could go dimmer at night and still see the screen clearly. Strictly copying the functionality of the iPhone wouldn't fully address this. An app would be ok I suppose but I'd much rather see a system mod. I really hate apps like Trackball alert, nothing against the author I just don't like running an additional app to address the lack of a feature in the OS itself.
Good thought
I agree completely. I'm a recovering iPhone user and the adjustable auto-brightness is a feature that I desperately miss. One of my top complaints about android.
This idea is fantastic. It's something I've been thinking about too (never knew iPhone has it though)
When indoors I sometimes find auto brightness too bright. When outdoors and its sunny sometimes its upper limit is not bright enough. In both situations I have to turn off auto.
Actually last night I noticed that auto brightness was dimmer than the lowest brightness setting. I reckon that a lower/dimmer threshold should be available too on the manual brightness settings.
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
I got my new SGS2 today
And i feel like the auto brightness is way to sensetive ,
Almost every time i change angle its change its brightness
Any suggestions?
I don't use auto brightness, just set it down low manually to save your battery.
I'm kinda having the opposite problem. No matter what the light is if I'm in auto-brightness mode it always sets the display to minimum. It's really annoying. Is there a way to calibrate that?
anyone?...

i Don't know about the auto brightness but if you uncheck the auto brightness and place your finger on the very top where the clock is and if you slide your finger towards the opposite direction it will change the brightness of the screen .....from left to right is more brightness and right to left is less....so i think you haven't checked the auto brightness thing that's why you are getting that problem.....
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
So when you're outdoors, even if it's overcast there's no way to slide the brightness down (It auto-snaps to full brightness) even though it's not needed.
I have situations where i could easily use half brightness but my phone forces auto max light
YES, I know i can disable auto brightness completely, but that would not be convenient.
Any fix for this?
I use an app called Lux. Tons of options with it.

It doesn't actually lower the brightness some sort of overlay , no?

Hmmmm, Im not sure how it works but it does have an auto mode which you can tweak on the fly.
I have noticed that also. It also jacks up the contrast to make it easier to see.
It makes pics you took look terrible when viewing them outside. I had to learn to NOT delete them until I check them indoors. I assumed some pics I took were crap at first, but it was just the jacked screen contrast that made them look bad.
On my S9+ in bright sunlight it happens that not only something happens to the contrast and colors (eg. reds become somewhat pinkish) but also black elements on screen start flickering/smudging while scrolling. It looks like the device turns into some sort of brightness boost mode.
Does anyone else experience anything like that?

That's exactly what happens to me. Also if you slide the screen you can see how it the colors are totally distorted.

Check out the screenshot. There's an option to enable brightness slider in the notification bar. Becomes easier to adjust brightness just by sliding down the notification bar.

Did you read what the problem is? outdoors it snaps to max no matter what. (Unless not in auto mode)
Any solution for this problem?
Turn off auto brightness when outdoors..
Guys I've noticed that even if you turn off auto brightness go out in the sun and turn the screen up to max manually,it will kick up into super brightness mode or shine a led light at the sensor when indoors simulating the sun,just like it does with auto brightness on.sammy really want us to get burn in I think so we have to buy new screens all the time?

Never had a screen burn in on a Samsung phone. Don't worry
Guys, idk if this is a S10 only feature (or Android Pie), but when I'm on that situation, if I lower the brightness slider and leave it there for a second or two, the brightness will actually stay down and not jump back up again. Worth a try.

After the S9+'s update to Pie some of the old settings get copied to the new OS, but if you don't go into the settings and check, things might not be configured correctly - I had to choose a different setting and then choose again what was previously selected to ensure that it was written into the Settings correctly.
With the new update the "Automatic Brightness" applies to the AOD - see here in this screenshot, my search of the Settings for the word "auto brightness", see what comes up in attachment #1.
What you need to do is go to the "Adaptive Brightness" and turn it on, then manually adjust your brightness under a few different conditions (EG: Indoors lights off, outside and overcast, and bright sunny day). Now your phone will understand what setting you want for different conditions and automatically adjust the brightness based on lighting conditions, see attachment #2.
The "auto brightness" is now used for the AOD, and has nothing to do with brightness when unlocked. The reason it "auto snaps to full brightness" is likely because previous settings were just copied over after the update and you haven't setup (and trained) the new "Adaptive Brightness" for various light levels. The AOD has both "Auto Brightness" and double-tap the clock to adjust AOD brightness.
