Hi!,
Since I buy the Yphone I've always wondered, The automatic brightness works?, cuz in the stock rom the energy control widget don't give the automatic brightness option, and if I install a custom rom and use the AB Option I don't see the difference about the most brightest option.
So I have two questions:
1) The automatic brightness option works?
2) If not : It's possible to make it work?
Thanks for all.
Charlie
what?automatic brightness?I don't see any option which mentioned automatic brightness in my device. are you sure about this?
I think we don't have light sensors

I thought that so (lol)
Yep. Auto brightness is impossible because SGY doesn't have light sensors. Best you could hope for is to automate it based on time.

i thought they have already have one. with high brightness setting, our screen's brightness will decreased if we set our screen timeout long.
Galaxy Y does have an ambient light sensor. So it DOES adjust the brightness. But you probably wont notice it because the brightness is set even if the screen is turned off. It will be brightest when you are in the sun. So its difficult to notice the change.
Really? Mine has never adjusted or anything. I have to adjust it myself.

Hi,
automatic backlight is still too bright for me in almost any environment. I want to control the brightness of the screen by setting other values.
Is there an app or a hack to do this?
Good question. Loved to know too!
Look under widgets and you will find one called
"Brightness"
I'll let you figure the rest out for yourself

Try to using
Brightenes Level App
I recommend "SwitchPro Widget", which is available from the Marketplace. It allows you to toggle the brightnees, even to levels lower than the automatic setting.
Hi, i dont want to change brightness manually, but want to change the default values which are used for automatic brightness. Is this possible?
Does no one knows??
Hmmm would be handy!

Perhaps you could put some tinted glass/plastic over the sensor, so the phone thinks it's darker than it actually is and doesn't make the screen as bright?

good idea, but that's not the resolution, even in night it's very bright and for me even at manual 1% brightness it's a bit to bright for me...
would be awesome to have more possibilities to work with the amoled screen - by the way - for black it needs 0% energy so better to read white letters on black background
edit: me using "Quick Settings" to handle brightness etc.
Hi I am using dimmer lite download frm market place suits my usage

I would like the automatic brightness to be just a bit more brighter when im outside. Would be great to be able to adjust it!!
If there was something like a -2 -1 0 +1 +2 way to adjust it!
Dont want manually keep setting the brightness all the time.
I just tried the app called Dimmer.
It is perfect.
Goes to a very low setting and then switches back to whatever you had before.
I have the same problem with my Desire that the Auto Brightness doesn't go all the way down and the HTC Denmark support basically just said meh. And said they would report it as a wish for future updates.

This app is great! Thank you!
I have my phone on autobacklight, but I find that in dark settings its too bright!!
This app does what I want with a simple click! Shame however that there's no way to reduce the lowest brightness on auto setting built into the OS.
I was wondering whether there were any apps which would allow you to lower the brightness beneath the lowest setting available in settings? My brightness is at the lowest setting and I reckon I could lower it further and not be disappointed whilst saving myself some battery.
Any ideas?
I'd like to know this too. I've got my brightness at 0% using the "Brightness Level" app, but if I'm browsing I notice that if I sit on the screen for about 30 seconds, the screen will dim further beyond the supposed minimum.
Voodoo has an ultra low brightness mode.

Really? I used to run Voodoo beta 4 on Tayutama's JM8 ROM, but didn't see that feature and it's not mentioned in the changelog:
http://project-voodoo.org/changelog
I'm currently using Hardcore kernel which seems to be faster (probably because of the No-RFS Advanced option I'm using)

Old Voodoo for Eclair had a low brightness mode, but ultra low brightness will be in future Voodoo release, in approx ~1 month
And of course it will be configurable (or it's as useful as annoying!)
Dimmer App
I use the Dimmer app available from the market. This takes brightness down to a third of the default minimum...
Screen filter from the market works really well, you can set it more or less to completley black if you want. But i am not sure if it helps saving battery. But as far as i know how AMOLEDs work it should help...
Anybody else using it?

omg thanks so much now i use screen filter just what i needed no more harsh lights when i use phone on bed in dark
Not sure what it is but my screen just dims a little once in a while and then goes back to regular. Is it some battery saving option or is that a normal effect? thanks
Auto brightness, it adjusts depending on the lighting conditions. Yes for battery and so when it's dark you don't get blinded. To turn it off, go settings > display > brightness

Wow lol seriously that's all that is? Guess I expected auto brightness to be more subtle in changing not like a flicker :-( guess I just gotta live with it cause I don't think I want it set to a constant brightness.
If you disable it, then you can also use your finger and slide left and right on the notification bar to brighten or dim. Kinda cool future.
Sent from my SPH-D710 using Tapatalk
Haha be happy! You paid extra for that feature lol --- and yeah the notification bar trick is nice...
Is it true that auto-brightness could potentially use more battery??
I'm always inside so I keep my brightness setting damn near to 10%... don't need it any brighter than that
Wow lol these little gadgets are too much thanks guys
Whenever I use S Note, the brightness always seems to go up and I can't change it, anyone know how to adjust it.?
Sent from my SM-P600 using Tapatalk 4
Same here. Really annoying. For now I'm using an app called screen filter to dim the screen when using s note in the evenings. Sammy should fix this though.

Mine starts with reduced intensity, if I selected reduced intensity as a general setting. Do you use (intensity) auto-settings of any kind in the general / Touchwiz settings? Or reading mode?

That is actually a great suggestion. It does not switch to full brightness when system auto brightness is disabled.

I always disable those 'helpful' features. Just include the brightness control in your status bar, set Adapt display to off, Screen mode to "Movie", switch off Reading mode, all Smart screen features to "off" etc. (unless you prefer otherwise)
I still get a very bright screen that doesn't respond to the brightness slider. Any fix for this or are all users of S Note using it at this brightness?
I use Lux Auto Brightness (there is also a free version), to overwrite Samsung control. It allows different settings for different apps.
Thanks. Will check that out.

I think it works only if you turn off automatic brightness first and then start Snote

Tried the free version, bought the pad version. Works great and solves the problem.
Turn off auto brightness.

I had same issue. First I turned off auto brightness before starting s note. Adjust brightness, then run s note should keep the brightness the same.
It help the situation but not a permanent solution. Hope Samsung can fix it ASAP.
Hello Together,
at night, when i am reading in bed or surfing with chrome the display is too bright.
Is there a app or tweak to reduce the minimum screen brightness?
I would prefer not to use an app with a filter overlay. It should really reduce the brightness.
I have read about such an feature with ElementalX Kernel. It did not worked so I changed to stock again.
THANK YOU,

Just disable adaptive brightness and adjust it manually to your liking.
Download the app f.lux , it sure makes the screen easy on my eyes at night
Thanks for your ideas.
Manual brightness lowest setting is no difference.
And i installed f.lux. I do Not like the settings.
Are there further ideas/possibilities?
What did not work with elementalx?
Did you install the kernel correctly and enable the backlight dimmer option? Works for me
Download this xposed module and lower the minimum brightness level.

ElementalX kernel has a feature which allows you to dim the display to a lower value than by default, you may want to check it out.
Try Twilight app
I found an app on Google Play called " TWILIGHT
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.urbandroid.lux
You set the time of day for the phone to dim - early in the morning and late at night. It dims the screen but also shades more reds on the screen as it's better for your eyes before sleep to decrease the bright lights. Been using it for 6 months and I like it. Occasionally - I get a warning of "screen overlay" when I'm using sime new apps that modify phone settings, but you can pause the app to modify settings - and reactivate the Twilight.
Give it a try..
