By autobrightness, you mean Adaptive brightness? or is there a 2nd setting I'm not aware of?
...and is it in a particular app? Some browsers etc have their own built in autobrightness
No, autobrightness is off, i set brightness manually on maximum, but the brightness is always changing a little bit, i don`t know, maybe bacuase of the device temperature or something ? It become more darker and then more lighter, just a little bit but i can see this, and it`s all the time.

In lollilop it's not autobrightness , it's Adaptive brightness... and you have to turn it off after the update

Yep. And changing the slider manually only seems to change the minimum brightness that adaptive brightness will go to, unless you turn it off

exactly , it took me 1 min to figure it out yesterday
I have the same issue
That's why I stick to Velis Autobrightness even on Lollipop. Nexus 5 auto brightness is a mess.

Hi there,
My question is:
Is it normal when this phone is on auto brightness and direct sun hits it, it makes the screen horribly saturated?
The colours look terrible, almost fluorescent.
I've had lots of Galaxy flagship phones before and never noticed this.
anyone else?

Change display mode under Settings > Display from adaptive to anything else. That's how it works now.

No, that is just the inbuilt Brightness booster going on. When hit with direct sunlight, If you phone is on auto brightness or set to maximum brightness, the display will change contrast and colour + boost the brightness to near 700 nits so that you can easily read it.

I know. But it only happens (a least for me) when the display is set to adaptive.

I've never had my phone display set on Adaptive. It's always on Basic display mode and it still does it.
Hey guys
Is there any way to max out the brightness even more? When it's light its hard to see my screen. I need a bit more back lighting.
Is there a software fix?
Bump....
No software is going to be able to override a hardware limitation.

Well is there software for it? Because I'm pretty sure it's not the hardware...
The software is the brightness slider in Android. I am not sure where you are going with this. If you are thinking that the you can "unlock" higher brightness than the max setting on the slider, you are mistaken. The max brightness is the max brightness the panel can put out. These are very cheap panels, don't expect much.
You sure its not turned down, and have some auto adjust settings turned on? In the system preferences in 5.1.1. there is now settings for day and night levels and auto adjustment. Mine was dim everytime I rebooted after I updated to later versions of Malaysk 5.1.1 ROM's until I figured out where those automatic brightness settings were.

Nope, i checked it a hundred times haha
So why is it too low with you? Do you have a sunroof or something so that there is more light reflection on it then normal?
I just like a really bright screen TBH
Hey guys,
I was hoping a few people here could do a quick test for me. On my watch (Gear S3 Frontier non-LTE), I have noticed a difference in the dimming depending on the brightness set.
Basically, if you set a brightness level of 1 OR 2, and turn always-on display ON, I have noticed that when the always-on kicks in, the watch also significantly dims itself.
As soon as you set a brightness level of 3 or higher, the always-on display kicks in but does not dim itself at all.
Can anyone else try this and let me know if you get the same results? Basically, does your always on get significantly dimmer when using the 1 or 2 brightness level, and does your always-on seem to not dim at all after switching the brightness to 3 or higher?
Thanks!
Yea that happens: https://forum.xda-developers.com/gear-s3/help/automatic-low-brightness-t3540063 . I never set my brightness to 1 or 2 tho. I always keep it at 5. So not sure about that.

I'm not talking about the auto-low brightness. This happens whether or not this setting is on, for me at least.

my suggestion is to keep brightness at 3-4-5 and then install the app "theater mode". When you're inside and don't need too much brightness just tap on the Theater Mode widget so the whole thing gets dim. When you're out tap it again, and the watch goes back to the brightness (3-4-5 depending on what you set).
Hey guys,
Is it just me or the minimum brightness level on OP6 its too bright for the eyes?
I use night mode ofcourse, but still... I would prefer to reduce the brightness a little more. I'm rooted, do I have any good options?
I use auto brightness, but also find it a little bit too bright. I don't have root access, so I just use a screen filter app (https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=nu.lower.brightness) to reduce it to 60%. It also helps for the battery life
I have the opposite problem, I find the minimum brightness far too dark. There should be a setting to raise / lower minimum brightness to suit individual needs.
Use this app to set screen brightness below minimum: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.haxor&hl=en_US
Even if u use third party app the notification bar is still bright... Is there any way by command prompt

Are you all too bright people rocking 5.1.6? Cause the adaptive brightness is too dim on this phone with 5.1.5, and there doesn't appear to be an update.
Was 5.1.6 pulled because of bugs?

I've used that app for years. But with this phone it disables the filter after a couple of hours. Do you ever face this issue?
Use the app called darker.

Will try, thanks.
I understand that the P7P is supposed to have a brighter screen then my retired P6P. Yesterday, I had my P7P in the car holder on a sunny day. Even at 100% brightness with adaptive brightness turned off the screen was hard to see.
Anyone else having a problem seeing the screen when outside?
Do you have adaptive brightness on or off?
In Exkm, I see a display option for High Brightness Mode (HBM) which I will try the next time.
I understand at high brightness that power consumption is also very high.
Any thoughts on seeing the screen when outside on a sunny day?

You have to turn it on, unless its max is only at 1000 nits, not 1500 like with Adaptive Brightness.
Turn the adaptive brightness on, you can get 1500nits brightness.
But it drains the battery really fast.

Just an FYI, you won't see 1,500 nits just by turning on the adaptive brightness on. Picture a screen with a white box in the middle and a black background.
Let's say that whitebox takes up 1% of the entire screen and black takes up 99%. The screen might boost that white box to 1500 nits (at maximum brightness slider). So it looks really bright.
Now let's say you expand that box and it takes up 20% of the screen and 80% is black. The screen is going to lower the brightness maybe down to 1000 nits.. even though the slider is still at 100%.
Then let's say you expand the box all the way, takes 100% of the screen, it's all white. The screen automatically lowers the brightness down to 800 nits, even though again the slider is at 100%.
The main apps that I want to see during the day while driving are Maps and Waze. Light mode seems better than Dark mode, but it was still hard to see the maps even at 100% brightness.
I use Velis Auto Brightness from PlayStore to care my screen brightness.

Velis Auto Brightness looks interesting. Are you running it on the P7P?
Did you turn off the built in Adaptive brightness?
Can you use high brightness mode with Velis?

I would be absolutely shocked if Velis can engage "high brightness mode".
If you cannot engage "high brightness mode" by turning off auto-brightness and moving the slider bar all the way to the right, then Velis probably can't do it either.
"High brightness mode" is typically only available via stock Auto Brightness or via rooted options.
It only comes on under special circumstances and you cannot leave it at "high brightness mode" for as long as you want (without using root options).

That doesn't seem right, this screen is brighter than my pixel 6 pro at 100% and easier to read outside. HBM you mentioned doesn't seem to work with EXKM and HBM, or at least for me it doesn't, and have set all the permissions and given it root access. There is a difference but it is so tiny it might as well not be there, and my screen is 75% normal when testing.
