Display settings

Is there any way of bringing back the sliders under the display brightness settings menu, all I have is a tickbox for adaptive light levels?
Also, holding an HD, a D1, and D2 all at the same time, the D2 seems to have a much warmer, orangey hue to the display, are there any programs that can change this on global scale?

If you uncheck 'Auto adjust backlight' you get the usual sliders to set the brightness on mains and battery.
No idea if you can adjust the hue of the display though. Likely not.

Genius!!! Didn't seem to work before???????? Is there any way of making a shortcut in the programs menu for toggling the auto light adjust on or off?

Where is this setting. I can't see the wood for the trees
Many thanks.

[Q] Custom auto brightness setting?

I want to use auto brightness, but the auto brightness on this phone set the screen too dim most of the time.
When I was using Cyanogenmod 7 on my HTC Desire, the rom allows one to customize the auto brightness settings (light sensor threshold, screen brightness at each level etc.) Is there any app on the market that can do the same thing?

I have the same problem. But I want it to be darker. Does anybody know how to adjust the auto brightness?

Pull down the notification window. Click quick settings and you will see it right there

That's not what I'm looking for. I want automatic adjustment but not so bright as it is now.

Just want to add myself as another user who is in need of this feature. I can code, but I have no mobile dev experience/patience

Just to be clear, you want a manual auto-brightness setting? Just use a ROM that includes manual brightness in the notification bar.

Yes, that's right. I`m using LeeDroid and that rom doesn't have that option.

Nobody knows?

Maybe here is the start... I have not used it.

I would say what's needed is more like the ability to add or subtract brightness values from what the phone thinks the screen brightness should be.
So say the phone decides 70% is the right brightness, but you think actually it's brighter than it needs to be, you can set to always subtract 20% etc.
Conversely if you think the screen is always too dark, you can set it to always add 20% etc.
Would be a handy app to have.
Not sure why the custom auto brighness app needs to know where you are or have full internet access though...

Doesnt CM7 have this feature?

Better auto brightness

It's always too dark. Any way to mod this? I don't really want to manually adjust, as that is tiresome.
Seemed to work better on my old p1000.

I did a kies update. Seems to be worse now. Too bright in the dark and too dark in the light. Also slow to react to light change. How difficult can it be for samsung to setup auto brightness. I actually think my old p1000 is a better tab in many ways apart from the 3d speeds..

I wonder if this is because of a low quality light sensor. My Motorola Atrix does a pretty good job of regulating brightness automatically, except even that one is still too bright in the darkness.
For now I just make manual adjustments to the brightness on the tab, but thankfully the adjustment slider is right there on the notifications pop up so it only takes a second or two to make an adjustment.

Yes I could do manual adjustments but when I go outside and it's very bright I can't see the screen and this is where auto brightness needs to work well, which it doesn't and it is far too slow to change when I really want to take a quick pic, it just fails as I can't see the camera app for about 5 seconds.

You may want to uncheck the auto adjust screen power box that is in Settings > Screen. I notice that tends to darken the screen as well, even with auto brightness disabled. Screen mode (dynamic, standard, movie) also affects the color temperature of the display which may give a darker tone. Try the different modes and see if that helps. I notice movie mode gives a warmer look to the screen where standard seems cooler.

well , are you using screen protector ? maybe its the cause ? anyways i don't really like to set it at auto as the HC brightness is SUCK in many ways ... i like to adjust it as i want .. so live with it until samsung do something .

Unchecking that box made a huge difference. Thanks.

Yes this does seem to improve the brightness a little bit.

New Auto Brightness App called Lux
There is a new app in the Android Market called "Lux Auto Brightness" (I am new here so cannot post links but just search the market for Lux) that is by far the best Auto Brightness App I have seen yet. It is hands down better than anything that comes with stock Android. I have installed it on my Tab 7.0 Plus and it pretty much solves all of the issues/complaints I had with the built-in Auto Brightness. I really love how you can change the preset backlight level (for any light condition) to one that works better for you and once changed, the app will use that backlight level instead of its preset. This is a paid App but only cost $1.02 and lets face it, $1.02 is a very small price to pay for Auto Screen Brightness that works (no, I am not the author of the app). If you are going to install it on your Tab Plus 7.0 just ensure that you turn off the built-in auto brightness as well as unchecking the "Auto adjust screen power" setting under the Android settings/screen menu. Below is the description of the App from the Android Market...
Lux isn't your ordinary brightness app. It intelligently adjusts the brightness of your display based on the environment you're in. If, for example, you step into a dimly lit room, Lux will automatically lower the brightness of your display to make it not only comfortable to read, but to also preserve battery power.
Lux provides the option to automatically adjust the backlight at fixed intervals (periodic mode), when a change in environment is detected (dynamic mode), or when the phone wakes from sleep. It's also possible to adjust the backlight manually. Simply disable automatic mode and you can use it like a traditional brightness tool!
Perhaps the best thing about Lux is that you can teach it how to behave. If the backlight is too bright or dim for your liking, simply open the provided Dashboard, adjust the brightness slider to the level you desire, then hold the link button. Lux will use this new 'link' as a reference in future.
★FEATURES★
→ Custom auto brightness.
→ Sub-zero brightness to make reading in the dark significantly less irritating.
→ Battery efficient
→ Handy brightness widget
→ Option to use the camera to read in ambient light.
→ Power-user settings such as choice of interpolation, sensor debugging, and linked sample editing.
→ Backup to SD.
→ Customisable data filtering for phones with inaccurate light sensors.
→ Gradual fade effect for backlight adjustments.
→ Astronomer mode adds a red filter to the screen to preserve the eyesight of stargazers.
→ Jitter control to prevent constant small changes to the backlight.
→ Night mode, to change the colour temperature of the display for comfortable night time viewing.
→ Add app specific exceptions via compatibility mode
→ No ads, or other nuisances.
Note: Please disable other brightness apps before using Lux. This is still BETA software. The author is not responsible for any issues caused by using this app.

Useful app thanks.

Jagged letters in certain zoom levels

Hi,
I am experiencing problems with fonds mainly in Google Chrome but also other apps. In certain zoom levels, the edges of the letters appear jagged. I already tried different display settings such as text size, general size, resolutions. No change. Is anyone else having that issue? It's not an issue in every app. Take a look at the Screenshot I attached and zoom it bigger to see the jagged edges.

My only suggestions would be to either make sure your resolution is set to the max (1440p) inside the display setting. And to possibly try another font and see if that solves the problem. I thought Samsung Android had a couple of fonts to choose from.

I tried both. No change. Since nobody else is facing this issue, maybe it will be solved when I flash oreo and rebuild my phone from scratch.

Have you changed any settings in developer options?

I changed display density in tasker, which effects the dev option "smallest width". But shouldnt this switch back to a default value when i change the display zoom level in the display settings to default? Can you tell me what your resolution is, and what value is shown under smallest width in dev options?

I'm at 1440p and my minimum width is at 360p, I've not changed any dev values so these should be default.
I think the dev options are pretty independent of other settings, so even if you changed other display settings I'd expect any dev display options to remain. But that's only conjecture.

thanks, with 360 its working. i thought that value would be reset when you change display zoom in the normal settings. but obviously not. furthermore it seems that the font does only support certain densities. i personally prefer 384 dp as minimum width. 360 looks a bit huge to me.
Also if you select small and hughe in display zoom settings, the font jets jagged allthough those are predefined samsung settings! Does onyone know if there is a common denominator that has to be respected?
Edit: Its still not gone. In certain Zoom levels in Chrome, the font is still slightly jagged. Any other suggestions?
