Hi,
I am new to Android and just got a LG P769 L9 android phone from Tmobile.
The phone is great and running ICS 4.0.4. One thing that is troublesome is the brightness control and it does not have auto brightness like the Samsung phones. There is a list of quick toggle buttons on the power control tool on top of the notification pull down screen. It can quickly cycle through 3 levels: dim (0%), medium (50%), and full (100%).
Dim is great at night in dim area, but medium and full are just too bright except I am under direct sun light.
Is there anything I can use to change the default brightness level, say the medium to 25% or have a new level created for 25%?
Thanks in advance for your advice.

I just flashed the final beta of CM7 to my triumph, and idk if everybody is having this problem my soft keys are flashing/flickering when i move the phone. It's not physically they are flickering because of the way the light reaches your eyes.
No way to explain it really, when you hold the phone still it's good.
I believe this is because the soft keys brightness is not high enough.
Anybody find a way to fix this,
Thankss in advance.//
I have he same thing, but not sure how to fix it.
It's a 'feature' to reduce the brightness on the softkey LEDs. By default they're turned on full brightness, and it can have light leaks that affect a dark screen on some people's phones. You can just turn it off with an app like 'adjbrightness', 'keyboard backlight control', or in CM settings - display - auto backlight - use custom & edit other levels.

If you could explain a little more of what to change on that screen it would be much appreciated. There are so many values to change that it is a bit overwhelming to me.
In the "Edit other levels", the left column is what the light sensor readings are for a certain light level, the next column is the display backlight that should be used in those situations, the right most column is what brightness the bottom capacitive buttons should be at. Set it to 0 to be off, 255 for max. Try some different values to see what suits you.
Awesome! Thank you!
Is there any way to customize the auto backlight levels in mango? The screen is always too bright indoors and too dim outdoors.
tht's true, it would be cool to customize, because auto backlight depends on the battery level but nothing about light sensor...
Umm, the automatic backlight is very much based on the phone's light sensor. Battery Saver *might* lower the brightness automatically, but the "Automatic" option under Settings -> Brightness is based on the light level that the phone detects.
wow...shame on me i didn't notice that...
HD7 screen is not really effective when sun is shining outdoor...
To me the auto brightness setting seems a bit agressive (dims the screen too much) compared to my previous phone (Droid Razr Maxx). Is there some way to adjust the auto brightness to dim the screen a bit less than it does by default?
I'd suggest Lux. Great app, much more control, and it will "warm" your display to mess with your eyes less at night.
I wanted a simple auto brightness app that scaled a wide range from full bright to very dim without having to manage very specific settings to get it to work properly. I created Lumen to do just that. I also wanted to create something that would get as bright as adaptive brightness does on full brightness but still dims to appropriate levels.
Lumen features:
* Custom color filter - includes ability to put filter on timers.
* One touch notification bar controls for brightness boost and color filter. Brightness boost also temporarily adjusts your screen timeout to 5 minutes. Once you turn off the boost or turn the screen off it reverts back to normal. Great for gaming or showing something to your friends.
*Automatically scales from night mode to full bright. Allows calibration slightly to easily accommodate different phones sensors.
Please let me know what you think, especially with the brightness levels that my algorithm puts out. Thanks!

For those who have tested it out, thank you!
Would there be any value in adding options to apply the color filter based on sunrise and sunset?
Hi,
I am using my Nexus 6p in a quite screen heavy way (mostly in the car) and I am looking forward to reduce battery usage.
What I am doing at the moment is:
1) Use AutoMate in the car for navigation and music
2) Set up the screen timoeut after 15sec.
3) Use Caffeine app to prevent screen from going sleep
As an effect of this after 15 seconds my screen dims to certain level and Caffeine keeps this state all the time.
The thing is that the dimmed screen level is too high for me and I am looking forward to reduce it.
I realised that if I change the screen brightness to minimum then "dimmed" level is also lower so I suppose the system is doing something "When dimmed lower the current brightness level by x%".
I do not want to change the "screen awake" brightness level but just make the system to dim my screen by greater percentage so then I could get to nice and bright screen with just one touch without having to activate variety of apps.
