I had problem with brightness. Auto was too low. Max settings for brightness was also too low. I searched this forum and found some patches but didnt try them. I found solution. Simple too simple. Just remove battery for few seconds then start phone. Voila. Brightness is great! Pls thank if works for you.

What is the auto brightness setting for or good for???

I run on auto brightness 98% of the time, and I haven't had any reboots due to it. Are you certain it's the auto brightness feature? Are you overclocked?
All stock here.

Unlikely the autobrightness would cause your phone to reboot.
most likely if turning that option on ONLY and he starts to crash.. maybe its a faulty sensor? Replacement?
Auto bright
Battery killer or good for battery?
Turn it off and leave at lowest brightness.

Unless you go outside.
Juice Defender Ultimate has some brightness settings that let you tune the auto brightness. You can get it a lot darker than you normally can, and change the way it ramps up and down.
I mainly use it as a way to keep the phone from blinding me in the car or desk dock at night and still letting itself ramp to full brightness in sunlight.
As long as you live under a rock, minimum brightness should work. If you do go outside, either use the power widget to quickly change settings or just use auto. i personally like auto.

And don't forget on manual brightness you can change brightness just by sliding your finger across the top.

Lol,I forgot about that handy little tool. I been chewing my kids out cuz they kept turning it up when i let em play on it.ot so I thought.
I had much more luck just long pressing the notification bar where I want the brightness. Swiping it gave mixed results.

That's a nice trick! Thanks. I had problems with the brightness not changing reliably when swiping. (User error no doubt)

Anyone having issues with auto brightness not functioning correctly? Many times ill notice it seems pretty bright for such a dark room. Fiddle with the brightness slider and then click auto and it's back to correct auto brightness. Happens on all jb roms I've used. Forget if I had this issue with gb and ics

Default values are too bright for me, adjusted them down to a reasonable level. (on CM10)
Hey guys again, I found a bit more information on this problem. Noticed while I was in bed with phone and it on auto brightness, when I turn screen on, it "recalculates" and even though it's a pitch black room, gives me maybe 30% more light? When I toggle brightness in my power widget through and back to auto it corrects and goes to lowest brightness. Any thoughts?

Mine works, but I had to tweak the default settings. By default, it only checks the ambient light sensor when you unlock the screen. I changed it to periodically sample so that it dims/brightens as the screen is on but ambient lights changes (e.g. Turning off bedside lamp).

Where exactly did you go to do that?
Sent from my Nexus 7 using xda app-developers app
Don't remember everything, but here's my Settings/Display/AutomaticBacklight that I think are involved:
Enabled: checked
Window: 5s
Reset threshold: disabled
Sample interval: 1s
...
Allow light decrease: checked
...

Alright so I have been looking through plenty of posts and tried doing my research but haven't found a way to reduce the minimum device brightness on the s3 without using an app like screen filter. I really don't like the look of using an app to do this. I know there used to be a build.prop value to change but that doesn't do anything for me on cm10.1. Does anyone know of an easy fix?

What do you use for brightness. Auto? Full? 50%? Share!
Full looks best but image burn could be an issue with IPS displays..
Auto I feel like it jumps around too much depending on your lighting situation

Seems as though this thread should be in General Discussion.
At any rate, I usually steer towards Auto Brightness. On my Nexus 5, auto works just fine. Roughly 65% looks good to me and that's where mine usually stays with auto.
Why not add a Poll?
I never use Auto. Currently set to ~50%
Most of the time I'm almost at the minimum (indoors) and use Lux to adjust the brightness to a fixed level when I'm outside.
Can't add a poll :/ idk how to be honest. I tried editing the post on the website. Still nothing.
