No dont just tell me to go to settings and turn it off it does not work and I am not an idiot. The screen still sometimes shows up even though ambient display is set to off. I want to nuke it. Want it to go away. I have root and the will to remove it but I dont know how. This was an issue with android 11 and 12.

I know this kind of answer is annoying, but I never had it activate once in over a year. Disabling it works fine for me, sorry.
Can you show us your settings? I don't doubt your abilities to read don't worry, but maybe we can find something wrong by having more eyes on it.
disable wake screen for notifications probably.

can someone please tell me how to disable auto brightness on
x10i eternity rom build 003
i tried using every brightness app/widget possible to turn it off but as soon as i turn it off and put the phone under different light setting i can see that the auto brightness is still on
i tried using adjbrightness but it keeps telling me that my phone isnt rooted; anyone get this app to work on x10??
please help n sorry if this questions been asked and answered before. this forum is getting too big and broad sometimes to find anything
thx in advance
Have you tried Sparepart? (That's the name)
Strange, i can't seem to turn on my autobrightness. It used to work perfectly in android 1.6. And i haven't noticed it untill recently. When auto brightness is checked, it just stays the same, even when i hold it directly under a lamp. Maby there is a bug in the software that prevents switching it on or off?
I'd also like an answer to this problem, because with auto brightness on the telephone is a battery eater.. you have to keep it to the minimum level to disable it, but when you are under a strong light, like outdoor with a sunny weather, it's difficult to see your screen's details. as you select a brightness level different from zero, the autobrightness turns on and eats the battery.
I hope I'm missing the solution to this, and somebody will help, because all the applications i've tried (spareparts included) didn't worked.
I'm quite confuse now.....
What actually do we need......
Turn it on...
or
Turn it off...
LOL
heh, so some people want a way to turn it off and others, like me, want to find a way to turn it on?
what a crazy phone..
I'm sure there used to be a tick box in the display settings to turn on/off the auto brightness. Anyway, i've tried various applications myself to get it on but nothing does it. I think the best solution is for us all to swap phones .
Spare Parts doesn't work for me, i tried enabling it, restarting the phone and jumping under my duvet.. but it didn't change
Did you update to 2.1? It was disabled in 2.1 as far as I know.
So the easiest solution, upgrade to 2.1! Else, I don't remember the menu but it's somewhere in the settings under 1.6.
I think we've all updated to 2.1 here =)
and yes, in 1.6 there was a box to tick to unable/disable autobrightness.
But, in 2.1, this feature has disappeared, leaving a seekbar and a damned widget which doesn't allow you to set or no autobrightness.
Hi,
The autobrightness is still there. It can be turned on/of from a stock SE connection widget. The different state for brightness is "minimum" -> "auto" -> "maximum"

Thats pretty much, exactly, what dpk0875 said, if i'm not mistaken.

I can get, either 0%, or 100% brightness, with the ambient sensor disabled. Anything in-between, fades constantly.
No fix for this, i presume?
Reading websites while the screen fades in/out every couple of seconds drives me mad.
Ive never had any problem with it as long as you dont lean in front of it all the time lol.

LG's online chat feature was of no help either. I was told to utilize autobrightness, turn off battery saver, and factory data reset phone. No other options were given except to exchange the device. 3 years these phones have auto dimming problems, and 3 years no answers.
love this phone, but experiencing a strange screen brightness issue.
i do not use auto brightness. Any time i ever put my brightness over 50%, the screen dims itself 5 seconds after unlocking.
but when it's at exactly 50%, it does not dim.
Can anybody help me with this? 50% is bright enough but would like to have it higher without watching it dim like 5%.
anybody? I've had 2 v10's now thru AT&T, i don't know why I'm the only one having this problem
Same
Go to settings, display, brightness.
Make sure the auto brightness box is unchecked.

As it said in my original post, I do not use auto brightness.
Guys, this has been an issue with the G3 as well as the G4. There is simply no way that this is not some sort of widespread issue that everyone else thinks is normal.
Is there some way to override the auto dim? Why is LG the only company that seems to struggle with this feature?

I get that you said that.
But there's two ways to turn it on and off.
And there could be a fault with the pull down menu one.
Or the other way around.
It's a suggested thought, to give a try.

It doesn't work. Nothing seems to work. Lux brightness doesn't even work.
Is your phone rooted?
What is your Screen Timeout set to? Maybe its only set for 10 or 15 seconds so when you unlock the screen the timer thinks its ready to start turning off the screen due to no activity. Just a suggestion.
screen dimming after unlock

It's not just your phone or LG that's having that problem and I know this is a older thread but I have a ZTE zMAX Pro and every now and then mines dims after I unlock it. Very annoying because I don't even know what it is that makes it stop doing it. I press in on the screen and sometimes it comes in but I don't know what that's about. And it hasn't always done that it just started the last couple of days.
Use Yet Another Auto Brightness aka YAAB, set max and min brightness both to 50%, start the service and you're all set
Just updated to Oreo on my H830 today. When I was on Marshmallow/Nougat, disabling KnockOn was as easy as using the Quick Shortcut Maker app to disable it.
Now, it doesn't seem like there is an option to disable it using the app. Does anyone have a solution?
Update for OTA?

I am having the same exact issue. It seems when LG rewrote their settings interface from scratch, they actually remembered to remove the hidden settings this time (Only God knows why the settings are even hidden and now completely disabled to begin with). Unless they just changed the name of the "KnockOn" Setting.
Its a shame too, because one of the first things I would always do whenever I needed to factory reset.etc was to download QuickShortcutMaker and disable KnockOn right away. But now I can't do this. Hopefully someone finds a workaround. Why can't LG just let us disable these things?

Excuse me just a quick question. Why would you disable it?

My point exactly i don't think it's draining slot of battery.
I'm curious why they disable it.
1) Battery-saving concerns
2) Avoiding accidental wakes
3) Absolutely no point in keeping it on if the user doesn't want it
Because it can be triggered by accident. And depends on how you setup the phone, it could cause annoying problems if phone is turned on by accident.

I may be wrong but I think it's not that easy to trigger it. As the phone don't turn the screen on unless the proximity sensor is not triggered, the phone inside a pocket or in a situation like that won't turn the screen on.
but I'm not saying this applies to all situations
Most accidental trigger occur while holding the phone or dropping off the phone. I think the point OP trying to make is that owner should have the option to turn the feature off. If you need the knock-on feature, by all means keep it. I use the fingerprint reader to turn phone on. Knock-on is really just a way for me to make mistakes.
I have the same issue.
I had KnockOn disabled and updated to Oreo; now double tap to wake doesn't work (using default LG home) .
Normally this would be OK but recently power button started giving some trouble so double tap to wake would be a good feature to have.
Unfortunately can't find the menu to re-enable it in Oreo.
Hoping someone one finds a way and post it here
Often get many messages and notifications that go noticed as the vibration is very weak. Is there anyway to adjust the intensity?
I really wish there as a way, it's pathetic. I don't think I've managed to notice a single call when I'm walking... I think I might have to switch phones because of this. I've managed to work out almost everything else to be how I want it, but even with root (which I don't have yet), I can't see a way around this one. There are some apps that change vibration pattern and those might help but intensity is a no go I think... Oh well, love the phone so a bit gutted to be honest...
Hey google not responding with screen off or locked?
Tried enabling in the settings, still only works when phone is active?.
I have same problem ... It works only on lock screen, not when screen is black. So for example if I have accident and cannot move my arms, then I cannot use assistant to call for help, because I need to push power button (or double tap screen) first . This is very sad, just imagine how many people dieded because they could not call for help .
LOL, im sure it will get fixed, glad its just not me.
Did they remove the BOOST charge option for you to?

I never heard of boost option what is that ..
In charge setting there was an option called BOOST MODE, i was getting 18 min charge with it on, now its 21-22 mins, not a big difference really, just wondered where it went.

LOL, yeah it probably will not get fixed for a while if ever, its a satey net issue.
God dam annoying though.
A neat workaround is if you have a smartwatch, it still works on that.
