I think the lowest brightness is too bright and want something slightly lower. The brighter end of the phone is too bright and I end up wasting a lot of my brightness slider doing nothing. I want the highest preset to be pretty low too but settings presets requires a lot of playing around. I was wondering in the above situation what are some good presets for the following values that other SG3 users have set?
25%
40%
55%
70%
85%
I know at night my dimness is set to 48.6% which should be my 25%. How would I calculate the rest based on that, especially the upper limit?
Hi.
Is there a way to increase brightness of my screen pass 100%?
Ive been searching for apps on the store but nothing.
I can't see anything when I'm outside (san diego) and it's kinda annoying.
Thanks

Nah man.
In the instances where something like that is possible is because of inaccurate maximum brightness levels from the manufacturer in regard to the hardwares highest brightness output and it's realtion to software coded brightness level values
(for battery savings)
which is " unlocked " to allow brighter than usual levels which is still the devices 100% level.
None of this applies to the EVO because 100% brightness is already 100% brightness and not 85%
LCD is a non-emissive display technology. The backlight produces all the light you can have, each pixel's behavior is controlled by filters in front of the backlight that can only reduce the final light output from this initial maximum.
(By comparison, OLED is an emissive technology. Drive the pixel harder, more light comes out.)
So the control you are looking for is the one that controls the backlight.
If you can find a way to make it go brighter than its nominal "100%" brightness level, go for it.
This sounds like a hardware level hack.
Note that perceived brightness does not increase linearly with increased power supplied to the backlight. At the top end of the range, a 10% increase in apparent brightness could cost much, much more than a 10% increase in battery consumption. Do you really want this?

Damn that's true about the battery.i dont really need it all the time just sometimes its pisses me off that i have to ignore notifications cus i cant see ha

Auto is too dim for me so i set it around 79%. Higher brightness hurts my eyes but maybe I just need to get used to it?

I turned off auto and set the brightness to 100%. I love a bright screen. So far 17 hours on battery, 2 hours screen time, and still at 50%. Good enough for me.
I need better

Turn off the lights.
I keep it always on 100%. Only when I need to save the battery I lower it.
Would love to get more input.
I simply use auto brightness. Bright screens look better but they strain my eyes too much.
I keep it at 50% and thats super bright for me... Keeping it 100 sounds insane

Apparently I'm in the minority so far. I hate screens that are too bright for the setting they're in. I keep mine at absolute minimum (0%?) unless an increase in ambient light makes it hard to see. Then I increase it as little as possible until it's at similar visibility as it was before the ambient light increase.
i keep mine at 50% also, i could see doing 60% if i really needed it but anything over that would be overkill IMO.
I use auto
auto 100%
I use Lux app. Check the PlayStore and see if it might work for you.
You guys no you can adjust the contrast.

80% most of the time. I adjust when/if I need to.
Usually <50% indoors and >70% outdoors. The best way to make it learn what you like is to use LUX app.
I just upgraded from 8.1 to 9.0 on my XL 2 over the weekend. I am stock rooted.
Is it just me or is the overall display brightness much less on Pie than it was on Oreo? In the same daytime environment, I feel like Pie needs to be around 70% brightness whereas on Oreo, I feel like the display was set on about 35%. I rarely had Oreo brightness above 50%. Now with Pie, I feel like I can barely see the screen when it's under 50%.
On Oreo, my display was set to Saturated and of course, white theme since that's all we had.
On Pie, I used the same settings and it looks much dimmer. I adjusted display to Boosted and have toogled back and forth between light and dark themes and I don't notice any difference with how much dimmer the overall display feels.
The display can still get just as bright. They've just changed the way the values are displayed from the slider is all.

Google changed the algorithm on the brightness slider. Therefore, 70% is the new 30% So, no, it's not you. Another brilliant improvement for the sake of supposed progress! ?

Probably hanging out with this guy! ???
I agree with everyone else. 100% on 9 is still as bright as 100% was on 8.1 but 50% on 9 is NOT what 50% was on 8.1, no doubt about it. On 8x I usually kept my brightness around 65%... now on 9, to get something similar I am around 70-75%... If the same energy is being used to illuminate the display at the different values, batt life should remain about the same... But WHY?
Why change what 50% was on 8 to be different on 9? Isn't HALF the available illumination HALF the available illumination regardless of the OS version? What is the effect, or end game Google was looking for with this?
The max brightness is the same. The difference is the slider is no using a logarithmic algorithm instead of the old linear algorithm.
Here is the explanation of why it was done:
The first noteworthy feature is a changed brightness slider behavior: It now changes the brightness logarithmically instead of linearly. Before this preview when it was linear, about 90% of the brightness was controlled by the lower 20% of the left of the slider. The old 50% brightness was almost identical to 100% max brightness, and the old 5% brightness was significantly brighter than 0% brightness. Now, the change in perceptual brightness is more uniform as you increase or decrease the slider.
Exactly. 50% before was definitely not 50% nits output for the screen which, with a rated max 403 by anandtech, would be only 201.5 nits. And that was before the November update that lowered the max by 50 nits.

Doesn't really bother me. My normal brightness is now just like 60% instead of around 20%. Not sure why some freaked out about it.

The same shìt as the retards who designed the P3XL.
I've configured my screen brightness to maximum and disabled "Adaptive Brightness" and "Comfort Tone".. Despite this, the device "decides" from time to time to reduce brightness.. How can I resolve this? I want brightness to be on maximum all the time no matter what..
I'm guessing that is does this because it's bad for the device to have full brightness on all the time.
First of all, why would you want to be on max brightness ? It will hurt your eyes in the dark, drain your battery and it may cause burn-in in long term.
Anyway, to answer your question, it reduces its brightness probably because of heating. An higher brightness means a higher temperature. To solve that, it may be possible to do that via magisk but i've never heard of something like this. Or you could try some custom roms that don't include that type of software cooling system.

Thanks! When the brightness gets low it hurts my eyes.. On my smasung galaxy s21 ultra, it never reduces brightness.. Why? simply because that's what I choose. It seems that oneplus would not let me choose to work with high brightness all the time.

Oh i see. Isn't this related to DC dimming ? If so some custom roms may support that.

Low brightness doesn't harm your eyes. It may cause muscle strain because you can't focus properly; harmless.
Full brightness can demage your retina over time especially viewing it in a dark environment.
Full brightness will greatly decrease the display lifespan of a AMOLED.
The blue pixels die first.
Use manual brightness control and try to limit it to no more than needed, 50% or less is best.
Do not use in direct sunlight for more then a few seconds.

It's a bug, i've same problem, it lowers brightness by itsself! Me too have all disabled, annoying bug.

Except it's not a bug. It's a feature. More likely multiple features designed to improve the health and longevity of the device. That said, I'm all for individual choice. If a user really wants to risk damage to their device as well as their own vision, they should be free to do so. It does make sense, however, that such an option wouldn't be in plain sight in the Settings app.
Have you tried any 3rd party apps that support High Brightness Mode/HBM? Most will probably require root since HBM is a hardware-level setting (brighter than just moving the slider to max). I don't know if there's a way to do it more permanently with adb or not.

Custom roms are always dimmer than OxygenOS, have you never noticed this?
On OxygenOS I can have my brightness at 50% and see the phone fine, on custom roms I need to have it around 75-80% to get the same brightness

Don't know, I haven't tried custom roms yet on my 9 Pro. But I remember it was like you said on my 5T.
