For a lot of phones, auto-brightness can maximally output a higher brightness than the 100% brightness setting available to the user. Auto-brightness can sometimes output 600 nits vs. only 400 nits at 100% manual brightness.
I know this is the case for some phones (samsung Galaxy S5 for sure), but is LG G2 one of them? If so, is it possible to mod the LG G2 so that manual brightness does output the true maximum amount at 100%?
It could be risky and cause overheating, although the G2 already limits the maximum manual brightness when it overheats.

Am wondering if any of you know whether auto brightness is more battery efficient than having the brightness set continually on something like a 1/4 setting??
Sent from my GT-I9100 using XDA Premium App
I personally think it uses more up so i have it set to quite low.
I set mine to the absolute minimum when I am indoors (most of the day), and Auto when I am outside.
"Auto" indoors is too bright for me. [maybe I should take off my Petzl headlamp]
It depends on YOU. If you set it to brighter than what auto brightness would set it too, then you'd drain more battery.
Hello! Is there a mode to increase maximum brightness more then factory max (apk. or something for rooted phones). Once I had "neo turbo" installed: great luminosity (hurt the eyes on max)- great speedy rom (i had to change it because the pictures i took were fake coloured) so i changed it with Atomic 3.0 rom- great rom also, great camera quality, ram, space, etc; but i've returned to that standard low brightness. On "neo turbo" rom I didn't even have to max it (used only half the light to be happy). It didnt damaged my phone and the light, contrast seemed almost like an amoled. Thank you in advance!

use whitemagic technology file.....but beware about your display lights getting worn out
thank you!!! installed the free app, more brightness than I ever wanted, have a great day!
i had used cyanogenmod 11 4.4.4 and noticed that the maximum brightness was considerably much higher than my father's s4 touchwiz version.
is there any way i can achieve the higher maximum brightness on the touchwiz rom?
I have just flashed Pixel Experience ROM to my Poco. I notice one thing immediately: brightness seems to be scaled lower. When I was in MIUI, 20% brightness seems to be enough for indoor use. Eversince I use the custom ROM, for indoor use, it takes 50% to 60% of the brightness. I wonder if it'll impact the maximum brightness by half.
please try changing kernel!

Is there any possibility of a DC dimming implementation for the Pixel series? My PWM sensitivity has gotten so severe I’m basically limited to IPS screens or AMOLED screens with DC dimming.
I would happily pay for a solution, I just wonder if it’s at all possible on Pixel 5/6/6 Pro with a new ROM maybe?
Not for Pixels apparently.
However quit a few do have it.
edit:
Lol, scrap Samsung as it's modulating at 256hz apparently.
I don't notice it but you very well might.
I would like to see some solution for Pixel's 6 PWM as well.
I have also tried multiple apps. They help a little, but the issue with Pixel 6 is that it flickers even on 100% brightness.
I do wonder if it it even remotely possible to force the device to DC dimming or there are HW barriers.
DC dimming is really not DC dimming -- its not technically feasible. Its just cranking up the PWM frequency past some threshold where the circuit capacitance is high enough to filter out the flickering.
If you want DC dimming, you need a linear regulator on every sub-pixel.

That appears to be true. Some were showing scope traces of DC back in 2019 for AMOLED display phones but have since discretely removed those images
A big obstacle to implementing is it would skew the color accuracy badly. The OLED pixels are calibrated at a fixed current and to regulated their intensity level their duty cycle is varied. With DC the calibration is lost because their light output is different at every voltage level, it's not linear. That destroys color and especially gamma calibration/accuracy. Variable refresh rate displays are already horrors to calibrate. DC dimming would add another variable. The QC of the pixels would need to be tighter leading to more rejected displays during manufacturing and increase the cost as well potential returns.
One thing that might help is to turn off animations which I never use. I never have noticed flickering even when I look for it at 60hz. Operate at a comfortable brightness level (I never use the lowest setting, it's simply too low except when I'm doing prolonged downloads, etc and need to monitor it). Use manual brightness control to decrease eye fatigue and strain.
Increasing refresh rate may also help.
Avoid using under pulse modulated LED lighting, try a incandescent light source.
