Auto adjusted backlight is too bright in dark conditions

Hi! I'm a first time poster here, have had my TP for a week now (previously used SE UIQ phones). Anyways, first I just wanted to THANK all of YOU who make these amazing apps and tweaks for this very cool phone!
Now to the point. I like the idea that the light sensor adjusts the backlight level automatically, but I find it much too bright especially in very dark conditions. Even if it's completely dark, the backlight doesn't go all the way down, i.e. I can make it much dimmer by manually setting the brightness to a low level.
Is there any way to "calibrate" the brightness for the auto adjusted backlight (so that if it's dark it would lower the brightness even more than it does now, and if it's bright it would set the backlight to 100%)?
Thanks!

[Q] Auto brightness with an actual setting?

Hi,
On the N900 you can set auto brightness with an actual brightness level. This way you get the best of both worlds. You set how bright you want it and based on the ambient lighting conditions the brightness is adjusted.
So you set it to say 50%. Go outside and it will increase the brightness to maximum because its trying to keep a perceived brightness of 50%.
Set it to 25% go outside and it'd probably go up to about 50% to keep the same perceived setting.
Get it? Good. Now where's the app!?

ahh this would be killer
I love the auto bright but hate that at night its Still not dim enough (I want it ALL the way down at night

lower the minimum brightness level

i was wondering if there was a value somewhere that i can change to lower the minimum brightness level. i dont use auto brightness. i just want to make my screen go even dimmer than currently possible. the lowest level is really not that dark. it still hurts my eyes when i look at it when i wake up in the morning. i also saw that my friends iphone's screen goes way darker than mine. thanks in advance

Adaptive Brightness Does Not Work

Has anyone else had issues with their Adaptive Brightness not working. Toggling the setting has no effect on my display. For such an expensive phone I expect things like this to work.

Yes, it doesn't work that great for me either. I mean I can see it adjusts the brightness "somewhat". But it appears it is not nearly as dramatic as on my Galaxy S7 which would pretty much perfectly adjust the brightness.
I agree that a phone this expensive should do it correctly out of the box. Google please listen.

This is the intended function as I understood it, so I googled it and here confirms. This is not intended to operate the same as auto brightness many other phones use.
In Android L, Google's introduced a new feature called Adaptive Brightness that combines manual and auto brightness. You can manually adjust the brightness level to a state you like. Once it's set, your screen will adjust based on ambient light so it stays at the same brightness relative to the light around you. This way you can set the screen to your preferences without sticking to an absolute level.

Been this way a long time. Would this be your first Nexus/Pixel phone?

The problem I have is that every time the phone is rebooted, adaptive brightness is set back to Off, even though it was On when the phone was restarted. Running NDE63V and not rooted.

Override manual/auto screen brightness with root?

Hi guys,
I have a cheap Chinese Cube T8Plus that I use exclusively to read comics and books at night.
It works really well for that use, but has 2 very annoying problems with backlight brightness that makes it less than ideal for low light use:
- with manual brightness, the minimum brightness is very high, and even with root and a software like brightness tweak, it stays the same (I can actually increase the minimum brightness, but not decrease it).
- with auto brightness, surprisingly on low light the screen gets a lot dimmer than with manual brightness, it makes a huge difference. But here too there is a big problem; the brightness does increase whenever I the tablet is exposed to higher light, but doesn't decrease back on low light, no matter what I do.
The only way to reset it back is to fully reboot the tablet.
I tried different roms to try fixing the issue, they all have the same behavior sadly.
Of course I know there are screen filter solutions like the twilight app, which I actually use, but it's not always enough, and kills the contrast a little bit too much sometimes.
So is there any other way to force the manual brightness to go lower, that might work for me?
If not can I override the auto brightness in some way?
Thanks
