In Display Button Issue - Samsung Galaxy S9+ Questions & Answers

So I noticed that the in display button's sensitivity was too high for some reason.
I changed to 5/5 pressure needed - the lowest sensitivity.
It is now still high.
I was wondering if there is an option to change it manually (I have root installed already).
Please help. :crying:

Auto brightness

Does anyone have a solution to auto brightness issue?
Even in the darkest room, the lowest light level is "medium" and not low! Its excellent setting when using phone outdoors but in dark room or at night its just too bright. Is my phone broken or is it general windows phone setting?

on my titan, the auto brightness behaviour is erratic and sometimes goes too low.
the camera is one of the issue triggers. after every return from a photo session, the screen goes to a lower brightness.
also, sometimes it happens when unlocking the phone but i don't know what triggers it. then suddenly the screen would return to its normal brightness after a few seconds, although not always.
i suppose it's a driver issue...

so you get the autobrightness to go as low as 'low' set manually? - I tried it but even after camera the lowest brightness I am getting is same as 'medium' when set manually!

no, not that low only lower.
but you are right, even in complete darkness the screen won't go to its lowest setting...
Yes same issue here.
Automatic can go a little bit lower than medium, but not much. Too bright in dim environement.
For general use, i would like to have a preset between low and medium
Since these days many people like ultra bright screens (and ultra loud sound) i am not sure HTC will try to fix this "issue".
I just hope Microsoft can add a brightness slider in the future. (Or bility to set the min auto and max auto levels)
Btw, do you know why camera mode go into max brightness ? This is a little harsh indoor.

Yes that behaviour is very strange too! I think it's present only in the Titan. Some other windows phone manage the camera brightness a little better. But then I think increased brightness while using camera sort of makes it little pleasant when using it outdoors. But indoors as you mentioned, it's a bit too harsh brightness!
I think it's the light sensor that doesn't work properly. Some places/forums mentioned about issues with various HTC driverseven after those 2 softwares updates we received in Nov-early Dec.
In daylight,the auto brightness works wonderfully for me,I never change it.
But in a fairly dark room,it's too bright and most of the time,I set it to low
I usually set it to medium... and set to low by myself by night.
I have sent a message to HTC (via theirs contact/ticket system) about the "can be improved" auto brightness, and "camera set brightness to max" issues.
Better than nothing.
Since this is a easily reproductible problem, maybe they can take a look if they receive several messages about this.
I wonder if the screen going to max brightness with camera may have something to do with the "HTC Camera modes" addon ? (who knows..)
But i don't see how to remove it. I even can't find it on the marketplace (under HTC section).
I have same issue, I get blinded when I check the time on my phone at night
It was there even before camera modes update was applied by HTC. So unlikely

Obviously, the brightness go to max too when using skype with video.
Hope they will notice and fix it.
Trying to talk to HTC customer service is especially unhelpful here in france.
They have absolutely no knowledge of theirs WP7 products
(whatever the problem encountered)
Now that we have unlocked roms, any way to tweak the auto brightness ?

I've tried all 4 ROMs and they have the same behaviour as stock ROM at the moment. But it might be useful looking into the registry threshold values. I know there is some sort of home brew app that lets us set the volume increase in 10s, 20s, 30s or 50s. So a regedit might be somewhere, will dig around myself since you've reminded me again

[Q] Is there an app for setting your own Auto brightness levels?

Quick question -
I have a rooted HTC DesireHD & sometimes I'd like to use the 'Auto brightness' feature - especially if moving indoors/outdoors quite regularly.
However I've noticed that the screen brightness seems a little 'too' bright compared to how I usually have it (indoors I usually have it ~12%, outdoors ~90%) - In 'auto mode' the 'indoors' seem to be about 20-25%
I pretty sure that there is a way to telling the Android system the level to have the screen depending on how much light the light sensor picks up - but I think that involves editing certain files & 'ADB' command etc (which I'm not totally confident I could do)
Does any1 know of an App (preferably free) that shows the current light level picked up by the phone & the brightness level that's been currently used, which also allows you to alter (& save) a lower value for that light level (perhaps with a slider or value box ??)
Thanks in advance
Well despite 130 views - seems like no-one has any suggestions
Anyway, I persevered with Google play search & it seems I may've found a couple possibilities (Avaliable as 'free' and 'paid for') so I thought I'll post them here in case any1 else wants them
There's Custom Auto Brightness (free) here
AND
Lux Auto Brightness here (Lux has paid version that allows even darker levels of screen display)
I've tried out 'Custom Auto Level' but either I was doing something wrong, but on occasions it would'nt dim the screen in bright light (I tested by shining a torch onto the sensor), however I'm currently trying out the LUX [Free] version to see if it'll do the job
(Took a while to actually figure out that you had to use the 'Link' option to actually SET the brightness of screen to Level of light detected )

[Q] Auto brightness not working

Hi!
I have the S6 edge since yesterday and I noticed that auto brightness does not work.
Testing the senosr via a sensor read out tool, it actually detects brightnes levels well (as far as I can tell).
However, if I turn on my phone, it is first super dim at first. When I expose it to a flash light, the screen turns brighter and eventually maxes out. But it does not turn back to normal brightness levels once I remove the light source. Sure I can adjust auto brightness with the slider. But it is then much brighter (with same light conditions in the room) as when I truned on the phone...
Only if I turn off auto brightness, the screen reverts to the setting I have chosen...
If I turn auto brightness on again, it is as bright as with flash light exposure...
What is going on here?
Does anyone have an idea how to fix this?

I have the same problem. Already talked with Samsung and ATT. They want me to change the phone.
Ps. It seems the problem only persists in S6 edge not in S6. But I also found that other android that run lolipop 5.01+ have the same issue too. And right now, I use the app name velis auto brightness to fix this.
I will try to change the phone by this week and update you.
Hope this help.
I have started using an app called Lux. And it has no problem adjusting the brightness. The sensor clearly works fine as it can always displays the brightness detected by the sensor. So it has to be a software problem.
I could imagine that a hard reset could fix the issue. But right now, I do not want to go to the hassle to restore everything
Let me know how the new phone works. :highfive:

The hard reset did not work, I already did it.
I will update you again once I change or test the other phones.
I went to the store, and both S6 and S6 edge in the store all have the same problem, so the exchange it may not solve the problem.
I think this problem may be a software problem or an intention from Samsung/Google.
I will try to use it in couple days. If I cannot bear this, I might return the product.
Hope they will have OTA update soon.
Got this too.
It's really anoying.
I really hope there will come an app like on older Sammy's that we can set and adjust our own brightness levels.
But I'm not expecting a fix from Samsung tho. They have proven again and again they are unable to fix their crappy software. Especialy if it's a minor bug like this.
So anyone wanna buy a rooted hardly used S6 Edge plus?

Possible to fix Display Brightness Issue after A10 Update?

Hi
after upgrading my A3 with Android 10 (EU Version) by OTA standard upgrade I also have the issue that the display brightness is often reduced to a very low level even if the brightness automatic is set off and manually set to 100% or 90%. Typical case is when putting the phone after short usage in "stand by" via the power button and then pressing the power button again for reactivation and then the display turns on on amuch lower brightness then before.
Normally i can log in and then switch manually the brightness from high to low again to high level which will give full brightness back. But doing this is really anoying and yesterday i recognized that outside with sunglasses on i cannot read or do this procedure because the phone seems to be of/dark.
So is there a fix for this display problem?
Thank you very much!

Ghost touch when brightness is set beyond a level

Hi everyone, I noticed there's ghost touch on my S9+ whenever the brightness is set beyond a level, especially when it is brightened up therefore I have to keep the brightness at a minimum level. I doubt it is a software or OS issue as changing the OS did not help. It started with a yellowish, flickering screen even during boot up. With the PWM free app installed, it helps with the yellowish, flickering screen issue. I would like to know if there is a workaround so I can brighten up the screen.
Thank you.
