there is a way to increase the brightness of the always on display even by root or Xposed ?
Given that the "always on" feature is a way to light up the screen to show notifications without loosing to much battery and that LG G5's screen is IPS and not AMOLED, i think boosting the brightness would only hurt the battery as it would light up the whole screen. I keep it turned off and rely on the notification LED. Cheers!

for a while now my screen on the x10 goes brighter and darker while browsing , not by a lot but its noticable and kind of annoying . Im curious if anyone else has this on their phone , i got nothing installed to control brightness its just stock 2.1 os. And its not because of battery since it does it when plugged in.
It's cos of the auto brightness adjustment function. =D
If you need to access it/ turn it off you have to do it through the 'Power Control' Widget
Thanx for the replies ill check out the power control widget. Im just wondering if the random change from dim to bright waste more battery ?

There is a light sensor on the front of the phone that turns the brightness up if there is a lot of light in the room, if there isn't a lot of light in the room the brightness decreases. As mentioned above you can control this auto-brightness function from the Power Control widget.
I wouldn't say it has any noticeable effect on your battery life, unless you always are in very bright environments that would make the sensor turn the display brightness all the way up.
Hi, I see there are more and more mods and tweaks designed to help boost battery life. Any efforts like this are really helpful and I'm glad of them.
The biggest use of my battery however is the screen, how about your phone? We have all tried turning down brightness, leaving automatic brightness on etc. but I really think any significant progress that we could make is through changes to how the screen works. Ultimately, I think perhaps the screen resolution and the Sony tweaks like Bravia are too powerful for the size of this battery to cope. Does anyone think something else may be the problem?
I haven't noticed any difference when turning Bravia off. What else could we do?
I use root dim
Always keep bravia engine off ( I dun find any difference to b true)
And I have a brightness bar in notification drawer to adjust brightness quickly
I didn't know about that app, I'll give it a try now. I notice that when you turn down the brightness to around 30% or less that the backlight completely turns off? I bet that is the real killer of the battery.

I use root dim
Below 10% I cant sew anything
It saves battery coz it decreases brightness
What night mode is that it adds a grey shade
Night mode has no effect on brightness
And dim brightness means battery saved
Does anybody have a flickering display?
I like to dim the brightness in the evening almost to the minimum. Then it is quite easy to see some "pumping" (flicker) of the brightness, when I use the phone. It seems to be even more visible, when I turn on the "night owl" app, in order to filter the blue light out of the screen.

Any responses are welcome!

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.
Is it somehow possible to disable auto brightness for the always on display (without root preferably)?
I'm kinda worried about OLED burn-ins in the long run and when my phone lies on my desk below/near my desk lamp, the AoD brightness turns way up.
I'd like to keep it on very low levels permanently though.
Is there anything I can do with adb or am I just blind and missing a hidden setting somewhere?
Thanks in advance!
