Is it possible to increase--across the board--the brightness levels when the phone is set to auto-brightness? For example, if the brightness is at a 3 when in a dark room and a 7 when it is in a bright room, is there some way I can tweak the phone such that in the dark room, it will actually be at 4 and in the bright room, it will be at an 8?
I ask because I've always thought that the default brightness for auto-brightness is too low.
I'm on the latest Gummy 4.0.4.
Not sure if it's me or something. But it seems like when I first turn on the auto brightness it's pretty dark. But if I leave it on a while, it seems to get better. I don't think it's just me getting used to it either. It feels like maybe it has a period of adjustment or something and then seems usable.
IIRC Gummy has customizable auto-backlight settings.
Settings>Display>Autobacklight>
Going by memory here, so bear with me:
-Check Use custom,
-Select Edit Other Levels,
-Adjust the screen value's (not too much, do it incrementally),
-Select Save and Apply,
-If you mess up, there's a reload defaults button.
Don't go too high, you may get burn in.
Ignore my values, I lower them, a lot.

So does Team BAMF...
Pretty granular too if you want to get down and dirty.
Oh, wow. I assumed that all the rom-specific tweaks and settings were contained in the "Gummy Settings" location. Thanks much.
On this topic, is anyone getting light sensor value problems in AOKP B32-34?
It worked fine in Liquidsmooth detecting all the way to the max 160lux (I think that was it) but only on AOKP on mine, and at least one other, does get seem to get stuck to 20lux max (personally I've only seen 16lux)
As you can imagine, this makes auto brightness useless since it doesn't get a value higher than 20lux from the light sensor

Any body else has this issue? I have thick vertical lines at the bottom of my
AMOLED sreen on the Galaxy Nexus.
They only show when the screen brightness are on low.
Should I get it changed under warranty?

This is pretty common with amoled screens, I wouldn't worry about it, its completely normal, and is only visible in dark rooms with brightness on low. Just be glad you don't have the blobs as well like all of the T-mobile Galaxy S2s have.
Cheers cbutters
yup. Mine is the same. Any replacement would likely be v similar. Forget about it.
I still think it's b.s. that for this new "Super AMOLED HD" screen that they downgraded from RGB and went back to pentile. Granted, they increased the resolution & dpi...
Apparently though, we'll have to wait until the next generation Samsung phones(after the Nexus) before they'll give us phones with "Super AMOLED HD Plus" that will be true RGB with high res & dpi.
SAMOLED. Just the way it is with whites.
That's the tradeoff for ridiculously black blacks.
I have a wide lighter coloured band horizontel across screen. Can see it when scrolling on lowest brightness. Auto mode in dark room etc. Cant see the vertical bands normally. Your eyes fix on the horizontel one while scrolling though. A replacement unit might be worse though. Grrrr.... ? Seems they all have these lighter or darker bands to some degree.

Hi,
I'd like to change the autobrightness values for each step. The current ones are a bit to dark for my taste. I am currently in AOKP and they are way better than the stock ones. Any app, kernel or idea how to tweak these settings ?
Thanks.
You can just decompile your frameworks, change each brightness step value, then compile and flash.
I am looking for a simpler way
If you're using Aokp rom, settings, display, custom backlight setting. Then check use custom, edit other levels. Left column for sensor level the brightness needs to change. Mid column is the screens actual brightness.

Is that an app ? What is it called?
Its the rom. Just about all the roms have this capability.
Yeah but aokp doesn't have this slider stuff for auto brightness, its more custom value entering stuff..

Would love to use something as simple as this...., where could i find this? Read a few posts above that it's in almost every rom. I am using skank mod of cm9. If it's not available can someone explain what means what in this photo to make screen brighter?

Lux Dash
Lux Dash in the Play Store works pretty well. It allows you to "link" custom brightness settings to ambient light levels.
I have been using it for a couple days now and am happy with the performance.
I've just switched on my Nexus 7 2013 and noticed the screen flickering. I'm quite sensitive to flickering screens (my wife can't actually see it) but it's definitely there and it wasn't before. I've read a little about screen flickering (low brightness, possibly wifi related) but I'm not sure my symptoms are the same, which is odd. In fact the main reproduction suggested (< 30% brightness and opening Google Maps) is fine for me.
To reproduce my issue I need to have 2 main things:
1) The brightness needs to be quite high
2) Certain colors need to be present on screen
I've done the following to try and fix the issue but none of them seemed to make any difference:
1) Disabling WiFi
2) Reboot
3) Plug in the charger (I normally use wireless charging so it hadn't been grounded for a while)
4) Try rebooting with the charger plugged in
5) Factory reset
6) Taking off the Back
I should add that I'm using stock Android (without root) 6.0.1
So some of the things I've noticed that flicker quite badly:
1) The grey keyboard overlay sitting over a white background (e.g. When chrome's open but you've not yet visited a page).

}
2) Some colours (e.g. in the picture of green images, the top right green flickers quite a bit, regardless of where it is on screen. If I rotate to landscape the flickering moves).
3) Some greys on websites (e.g. in the TestCafe link only the grey bar flickers)
Has anyone else come across this, or know of any other posts addressing this sort of issue?

I discovered something on my phone. The Back & most esp. the recent App Button is not as bright as I thought, and compared with the pictures I have seen on the internet. Should I worry about this? So far it doesn't affect their main function, just the brightness is what I am concerned right now.
Good question. My wife's (top) aren't as bright as mine (bottom). Screen brightness doesn't affect them; I wonder if anything does.
I think buttons light intensity is somehow related to screen bright. If you have your phone configured to adjust bright according to level of light please put your phone near a lamp and you'll see that buttons will be brighter after some seconds.
My buttons are super bright and both equal in luminescence. They do change with ambient brightness, I keep the display on auto perhaps they get locked in the current state when switching over to manual brightness.
Ah! I figured something out: are you using GravityBox?
I was able to change the intensity of my navbar buttons reliably:
10 Enable "Always on" in Android settings--buttons are dim
20 Enable "Always on" in GravityBox--buttons are bright
30 Set to "Default" in GravityBox--no change
40 Set to "Auto off" in Android Settings--buttons off
50 GOTO 10
Button brightness changes with ambient lighting and if direct light is shone directly on it or not.
Ah! Yes they do...takes a few seconds to change but it does.
Toggling the GravityBox setting just resets the last state.
Hi,
most of the time a night shift seems to be activated at the end of the day, and disabled at dawn... sometimes it's still activated during the day.
by night shift I mean a blue light scren filter : white color is more yellow than white..
I don't find anything in setup; read mode is disabled, auto contrast is off, I tried all seetings with contrast, colors and others...
does anyone know how to disable this?
many thanks

I had the same issue.
This happens because your previous device had night light activated. When you added and sync your device all the device setting got transferred.
Miui doesn't allow us to use the native Night light setting even though it's already present because of Android.
You have to factory reset and add account back without importing your device setting from previous phone.
Just unselect the part when restoring apps.
Hey,
I had the same issue https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.jami.tool.hiddensetting install this app search nightdisplaysuggestion and turn off - Now you're ready to rock
