Is there any way to turn off the annoying content adaptive brightness feature?
The brightness automatically increases when dark scenes are displayed on the screen. This happens even with the auto brightness turned off and is noticeable especially during the night when we use the phone at the lowest brightness settings.
What I've already tried:
1. Turn off auto brightness
2. Turn off automatic contrast
3. Turning off reading mode
4. Turning off content adaptive brightness using MIUI Hidden Settings app
Is there any way to disable this?

It's even noticeable on 8.11.23 though it has improved a lot from previous builds.
Its irritating and finally someone mentioned it, is there no fix for this? This is even present in the EU rom.
Any fix available yet?
This issue still has not been solved, and exists in EU roms, as well as MIUIpro. Can anyone guide to fix this annoying problem?
Driving me crazy. Everytime i use it in car for navigation when the bluetooth reconnect on engine restart screen goes near black.
I've tried droid automation to try and over rule it but still don't work.

I just installed Android 2.1 and rooted it. In the brightness setting there is no longer a selection to choose the Auto-brightness setting, just a slider for low and high brightness.
Also I noticed the Power Widget that has the brightness control switch lets you switch between low, auto, and high, but while in Auto (the dimmer setting while the button is ON), the sensitivity is very poor and will only brighten the display by about 10% while moving from a very dark environment to a very bright environment.
Yup, i agree. This sucks. Although i had forgoten how nice everything looks with the brightness turned up. All the same id like to have it back.

cant expect everything in 2.1 to be perfect. Yes it has taken them a while but i wouldnt expect it to be without any flaws!
At least we got it finally. WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOT

I thought this today too but the Auto Brighten IS there and still working, just a bit differently.
Initially you choose the 3 levels of brightness on the quick select from the 5 widget icons. This is the brightest it will go, but if you go from a dark or light room it DOES indeed still adjust.
I noticed this after a bit today just standing in the kitchen watching the movers do their thing at my old place. The sun was ducking in and out of the clouds and the auto function was working fine. I tried it in all 3 modes, the only one it doesn't do anything in is the least bright mode...the one I noticed it most is the middle bright mode.
So YES, it is indeed working, just differently.
The auto Brightness sucked in 1.6 anyway. It was never that good for me. I use a brightness widget to adjust it.
I much prefer the way it works now. Seems to be a lot more user friendly tbh
have you tried the setting in spare parts (from the market)?
I've not tried it myself, but I know the auto setting is there.
Auto birghtness
Hmm. I have the 2.1 update and I have set the brightness to the low setting in the power widget. The brightness still adjusts automatically, and I don't want it to. I want it to stay at a low level all the time to save my battery. How?!
Hi there, I've did try searching the forum regarding this issue. I still can't seem to turn the Auto Brightness Off, Whenever I set my brightness more than 0%(dim) the auto brightness just kicks in. Only at 0% and 100% then the auto brightness will not function. Only in values between 1% & 99%. Anybody had similar problems or have a fix to it?
I have the opposite problem, i don`t know how to use the auto brightness feature, there is no such option in my screen brightness settings..
Auto brightness was removed in the 2.1 update.
Hell knows why.
I want it to be removed I can't seem to disable my auto brightness, its always ON
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
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I717 using XDA
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.
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

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.

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.
