Is it true that setting the Screen Brightness to AUTO means more CPU-usage?
This might bot be significant, but interesting non-the-less
thx

I would imagine it would use a little more CPU, but I leave it on all the time and I never notice a dip in performance.

From what I've read the auto brightness only effects(negatively) your battery life. But I haven't tested so I don't know for sure. Mine isn't on because most of the time it can't decide between bright or not, which is really annoying
I have the brightness turned almost all the way down then I turn it on auto. Is this the correct way to set it? It seems very bright even set so low.

It definitely is too bright, i agree. I'm just putting together a nice setup for the Lux app, and hope that Google will make it a little less aggressive and therefor more battery-friendly
I noticed this as well. I just turned it down and left it (no auto).

I thought about doing this, but then it will be hard to see in bright sunlight.

I've never used Lux. Could you share the profile if possible when it's complete?

Sure thing, check back a little later please man, what were the folks at google thinking when they made these settings...

Agree the screen is way too bright out of the box. Interested in your lux config as well

I'll have it done in a few hours. The dark values are fine but i need to wait for daylight

They were outside in California during the summer in the day and in an overly bright and cheerful Google headquarters during the night. They forget not everywhere has retina burning light levels
I've noticed that iOS, Touchwiz and a few other vendor Android skins implement a sliding-scale auto-brightness: You can enable auto, but also slide the overall average brightness up and down. This is a simple solution for varying comfort levels: Brightness fiends can tune the auto higher and those with sensitive eyes can tune it lower. I am surprised stock Android has yet to implement this.
I found auto brightness to be a bit erratic. I'm sticking with manual brightness.

Here are my lux settings. At very bright areas you might have to add a few steps but it works well for me in darker, dimmer areas

Have any of you had your brightness fluctuate from higher to lower? I don't remember the n4 doing that only. I thought android only went from low to high.
I actually want the opposite. I set my brightness all the way high in manual but I hate that automatic dimming. Can I get that fix? All I want is to work like my HTC One where I set the brightness all the way high and never saw the screen dim itself automatically. Please help

Yeah, and i hate that. I am not battery crazy like some other users, all i want is a bright screen regardless what time of the day it is. 100% brightness all the time. Can Auto brightness be turned off? Otherwise, and I hate to say it, but will going back to the One until this gets fixed.
auto brightness is terrible
the screen become yellow and green look while the brightness is low
only 100% can present the true white color
compare with htc one, i think one is better performance
anyone get the yellow tint problem?

+1 for Lux. I had the battery-guzzling HTC Amaze ("you'll be AMAZED how fast your phone dies!" ). Lux would almost double my battery life when I programmed it with ultra-conservative (but still usable) settings.
If Google will update the auto brightness calibration everyone will start seeing much better battery life.

I use this one:

The trick is in setting up the profiles by hand, the automatic profile settings can be wonky.
Take some light measurements in dimmes light and establish the lowest level you can accept the screen. On an N5 this is probably all the way min. (At first you may find that it's pretty dim but Realize that you'll get used to this and later wonder why you liked the screen so bright.)
Then go into bright light and find the min level that you can accept. This might be all the way bright (on my Amaze, all the way bright was unnecessarily bright EVEN IN SUNLIGHT).
Then take a reading in a normal room and find the min acceptable brightness. This may still be all the way min.
You may want to sample a point or two in other light levels, usually 3-5 samples is enough if you suss out the power curve correctly.
Everyone loves iPhone battery life... ever notice how conservative an iPhone's auto brightness setting is? I'll go out on a limb and guess that, if the N5 is as aggressively bright in auto mode as everyone says (don't have mine yet), there's the possibility of getting an entire extra hour of SOT just by switching instead to very conservative auto-brightness settings.
Also if the min brightness is still pretty darn bright, there's a really good chance an update can knock that brightness down and stretch the battery even further.
Is there anyway to increase the brightness to the always on display? Seems like it should be a little brighter?
Thanks, Vinny
Seems to get brighter as the brightness in room increases. I just didn't give it enough time to work.

Hi mate
But that sounds about right , the brighter the room the brighter the display has to be in order to see it better ( when in auto mode) , disable the auto brightness under display and set it manually to a high value .... ... see if it helps
i'm using superman rom v1.8, the always on display doesnt seem to change position but i heard that it only changes 1 pixel per minute,
my question is how do we know if its postion changed or not?
Is there any kernel with this feature???
because the lowest brightness is still to bright and I think there is no other option to lowest brightness except adaptive brightness.
I can look at it, i think the brightness is too High as well. If i accomplish it you will see it in ruthless kernel.
No promise / eta though

yes that's good but it drained the battery and memory hogging, my moto g3 has only 1 gb of RAM
Hi there, on my U11 and U11+ the brightness of the screen is reduced almost immediately, after i take a photo.
This is very annoying, cause i can't see the pic a took seconds later and need to increase manually the brightness.
Did you notice same issue? Only HTC'S are doing this.

What are your brightness values for the phones? Camera app will boost brightness to the max, but once you take the photo it will return to your brightness settings

i have adaptive brightness at bout 50%. I think that the problem is that it's maximizing brightness the moment you are taking the photo and after that is getting very dim and the big difference is annoying.. Brightness isn't stable as on my pixel 2 xl.

Yep, better use 100% brightness Auto outdoors in the day, but yes there is definitely an automatic brightness problem with U11+, if 50% and less it can go very dim in a second with the same lighting conditions, usually in low light.
HTC software team is completely denying many things and repeated the same ''bugs'' in U12+
