PB5 is great but I had to go back to PB4 because the auto brightness made the screen way too dim. Before you ask, yes I tried to increase the brightness but when the phone went into sleep mode it reverts back to a very dim auto brightness.
My question: Is there any way I could fix a really dim auto-brightness setting on PB5? Thanks a bunch in advance.
Kushdeck has released PB6. You should give that a try. You don't get the dim screen like in PB5.

I'm using the Voodoo App to set some custom colors for my screen. (i've changed the gamma hack and the multipliers). Now, whenever my screen times out to go to the locked state, during those 2 seconds of screen backlight dimming, the colors get messed up, with a sort of greenish mist all over the screen. This disappears upon touching the screen again.
I either want to know how to disable those 2 seconds of light dimming or how to avoid the issue altogether.
Using Brainmaster's MIUI and T1.44 kernel.
Can't think of anything but you could try a different kernel, or flash a newer version of trinity. Brainmaster posts them on his thread (second post)

Here's a fix for the Galaxy S. Should also work for the NS.

Thanks for your replies but neither worked
I changed the settings under gamma hack in Voodoo and my issue doesn't occur anymore.

what setting do you changed?
Raise your screen dim level if you're on CM7 or lower your voodoo color values.

Hey everyone,
Whenever I use automatic screen brightness the screen always seems to be very dark or on the lowest brightness setting.
Has anyone else noticed this or does anyone know of a fix for this?
Thanks

Yes my screen is pretty dim when on auto. I just don't use that setting. Maybe others will have some comments.

I am using it all the time, except the night time.
It's working flawlessly to me during the day, for example: when i am in a room and i will enter the garden, or a brighter room.. works awesome
But the level of brightness is not good during the absolute dark, i just don't like the dim, because it's loosing lot's of contrast, so i am just sliding i little bit to make it brighter.
As i said, absolutely no problem during the day, sunrise, sunset... but the dim is not good for my eyes.
EDIT: i'm on .30 FW
My screen is also too dark on auto most of the time.
I must agree. Auto dimming isn't so good. I find it easier to just leave it full blast

We should decompile framework.res and change the values for the dim...
Looking for some free time for doing the work...
dark auto brighness
I have exactly the same problem. It's definitively too dark and not working at all. If I put a lamp (bright light) on it, it will brighten completely the screen but will not go back to normal when I take the light away. I have to restart to find back this too dark screen. Please note that the pad I tried when buying in the shop at the same problem, and a friend who bought another transformer pad has this problem as well. Hard or software?
Try the Lux Auto Brightness app here. You can fully customize your auto brightness levels. Works great for me.
When you are in an average lit room, it will be on the lowest possible brightness
When it is night time it almost goes to full.
Don't use auto brightness if it bothers you.
sometimes the auto brightness gets stuck in dark setting .what i do to fix this is i just set the bright manualy to high and this turns off the automatic brightness . then i just turn on the automatic brightness and it works.

hmmm...i'll have to try that.
90% of the time i use my tablet in my living room...and no matter what time of day, wether the sun is coming in through the back window or i am just using the lights, auto brightness is always too dim for me (except at night...then it is fine) its not a huge deal since they have the slider in the notification window.
thanks

Having issues . The Screen just dims after then selected timeout duration? Any ideas ...
Sent from my GT-N8013 using Tapatalk 2
I have the same issue where the screen dims after a few seconds of inactivity, though my screen timeout is set as 1 minute. I've disabled power saving, so I can't imagine what can be the cause. Hope to hear what others have to say about this.
Do you have auto check for the screen brightness. This is probably the cause
No. i changed my times around and it seemed to go back to working.

My auto brightness and smart stay are off, but still it happens.
Are you guys using uleah2. .
It started for me again on ULEAH2. . Auto bright and power save are off.
Edit. I flashed my shipped rom nandroid and the damn screen timeout bug persists ... wtf

At night it's too bright. I turn it to minimum, manual brightness under the display menu and its still too bright. Anything else I can try other than sunglasses?
TIA, Stuck

I used to use an app called Screen Filter.
I haven't found a kernel/hardware way to reduce the brightness below the point we see. It may just be that the AMOLED screen doesn't dim well and that is a hardware minimum. With Screen Filter, I remember the contrast being pretty poor when dimmed.

Finally figured out if you go into CyanogenMod settings - Interface - Render effect, you can get a dimmer display. The color might be a little wonky, but...
I like the 'Night mode (3700K)'. There are others too, so pick one and have fun.
Hey guys,
I'm using my new nexus 5 for about two days now and something seems to be wrong with auto brightness (at least) on my device. The phone makes the screen brighter just fine, but dimming it when it gets in a dark environment doesn't seem to work really well. Can someone give this a try please?
Just turn off the lights in a room and see if the screen adjusts correctly. On mine it doesn't.
Turning on and off auto brightness fixes the issue but as soon as the screen gets brighter again, the problem starts...
Thanks in advance

Good spot, I seem to experience this as well ! Exactly as you say works fine until the brightness gets set higher then it wont ever fall back its as if it can never lower only increase brightness.... odd!
Did you give it a minute to adjust?
Since my Nexus 5 isn't here yet this is what I've observed on stock Android in the Galaxy Nexus and other phones:
While it should go down after some time it's pretty common for auto brightness not to dim down as soon as it gets darker. You don't want your brightness to jump up and down just because the lighting changes for a second. And since turning the brightness up is much more relevant than down it goes up almost instantly but before dimming back down it monitors the environment for a while.
When you turn auto brightness off and on again you force the sensor into a new reading so this should set the brightness to the correct level without delay.
But it wouldn't be the first time auto brightness was bugged on a phone.
The delay really annoyed me on my tablet running vanilla 4.2 so installed lux which works well. You set the brightness how you want it at a given light level and then it sets the brightness according to the ambient light each time you wake it up and holds that setting until the next time you wake it up... best of both worlds.

You're right gokpog,it does work I just didn't give it time. It took around 10 seconds to change the backlight levels which is much longer than the nexus 4 which is why I didn't notice it. Hopefully there is a more sensitive curve in the future

Yep this has been the case with stock android for a while. Feature or flaw you decide but it is what it is and is across the board no matter what device if its using stock android on it

Well it doesn't seem to work as expected to me: go to a bright place, then to a very dark one. Yes it will dim a bit but not quite enough. Remain in the dark room and turn off auto brightness. Then turn it on again. The screen will get significantly darker than it was before

I have find too that the automatic brightness take time to decrease brightness, also increase, but the most annoying is that with the same level of light and without moving the phone, the brightness goes up and down erratically, without a reason, it didn't happen with any of my previous phones
I just installed this app today, I've had similar problems that weren't present on my N4. With this app running, when I turn the phone screen toward a light, it brightens, and back to face a darker place it dims almost immediately. To give me more battery life I've tuned the brightness curve to be a bit low, N5's auto seemed to be too bright for me overall anyway. Be sure to tinker with both the settings and advanced settings areas, by default the changes are sharp but you can make them fade instead. Fixed the problems I had at least.

I have the same problem with my Nexus 5.
Additionally, since day one, I've noticed that the phone consistently auto adjusts the screen to be slightly brighter than necessary given the ambient light.
I just noticed this issue last night, or at least it's similar. I was reading in bed for a few hours and occasionally (maybe every 15 minutes) the screen would suddenly dim to about half brightness and then brighten back to where it was originally. It was driving me nutz. I've also had a few random reboots, though not while I was using it. I'd notice it on my table booting up. FYI, this is stock with the latest update, no root or unlocking, and still has plenty of free space in memory. I've only had it for about 4 days.
