Adjusting the brightness does not work until I press the lock button.
Previously on 4.2 worked fine.
Now is kitkat.
So wait a second, are you trying to adjust brightness when it is locked or unlocked?
Also, I assume you are trying to change it with the touch controls?
When unlocked I change bright level with touch controls. And has no effect without locking.

There might be some apps which can run invisibly on the top of all. Android will consider the brightness Settings of the top most window.
Check whether you have any brightness control or powersaver or some kind of widgets which runs on top. Kindly disable or uninstall them & then check again
No. There is nothing such thing.

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?
Brightness slider on left screen swipe. Number indicates brightness is changing but screen brightness is unchanged. Main brightness control works on the player though. Tested on my Z1 Compact 5.1.1. I remembered that brightness slider worked for me when I was in 4.4.4 and 5.0.2. The same thing can also be seen in my brother's Android One running on 6.0. Can anyone else validate this? Thanks!

It's not MX Player's fault. Android always uses the brightness settings of the top most windows. But, some applications like Floating widgets, Power savers, Display Filters & Brightness control will create a invisible window & will try to keep it on the top of all other apps. So, brightness settings of that particular app will be applied. Kindly find the app that always try to run foreground & disable it.
hmm. Come to think of it, both phones have Klock installed as floating widget. Will test it when I get home. Thank you very much.

Knock Lock really did cause the issue. I tried installing the app on another device with 5.0.2 and the brightness control also didn't work. Thanks again.

So I was annoyed not having an LED notification light on oneplus 6t so I tried to make one of my own.
As OP6T has amoled display whenever a desired notification comes the app brings in a black screen with notification LED looking animation.
Though this is tested on OP6T, it should be working for most Android Oreo and later phones.
To use it:
Install App.
Disable Ambient Display and any battery optimisation for the app.
Give notification access permission.
Select apps you want notifications for, by choosing a color (Only apps you set a color to enables LEDs).
Note: 1. On successfully selecting a color for an app the text in which the App name is written should change to that color
2. Don't enable the LED for the "Phone App" as it will interfere when an incoming call is coming! Will fix this in next build
Thats it.
Note: To turn off the LED and to unlock phone double tap anywhere on the screen.
Also on pressing power button once the LED stops and on pressing it again it will bring you to lock screen.
App now available on Play Store, please rate and share if you liked the app.

If the app is not working check whether the Notification Service is running under Developer Option > Running Services, this service is required for the app to work as intended.
If it is not running after various troubleshoot measures, maybe send the logs.
Changelog:
Implemented burn in protection
Fixed proximity sensor bug
Switch enables LED with default color
Added search functionality
Now App list is sorted in alphabetical order
Fixed power button
Added settings for changing time interval and stop timer
Major bug fixes
Added System Apps
Added a switch to turn on/off notification LED
Give your feedback!!
It would be cooller if it would use the edge lighting.
Great app, love the simplicity.
Is there any way to show the notification first (like stock configuration) and then show the flashing "LED" after a few seconds?
Nice app. Been using since release when I saw it on the OnePlus 6t forum. Only issue is when you dismiss the notification (double tap) , screen goes into full brightness first before dimming down. At night, it's hard on the eyes. Hope you can fix it (add auto brightness support so it follows the screens brightness after unlock). Cheers mate and keep up the good work.
Good to see your thread here for OnePlus 7 Pro! Cheers
working thx ?
cut u get it to work wiht eged light??
Nice! It working good!
"Is there any way to show the notification first (like stock configuration) and then show the flashing "LED" after a few seconds?"..also my question..
Sometimes the LED flashes even if there is no notification
This is AWESOME!!! Could you make it so that
1: It doesn't flash the white bar across the bottom first
2: not go full brightness?
Thanks
This is an awesome app. Would be amazing if you can use it with the edge lighting.
Brilliant, thank you. Gome through countless apks trying to get a notification led. Thanks
Oh, one more thing, would it be possible to add an on/off switch so you can easily turn it off if you don't want to use it?

you can use the app always on edge if you want customized edge lighting
Nice idea and nice app but would it be possible to get it to work together with ambient display enabled?

thats exactly what the app does. it lights up the edges of your phone for a notification and you can customize each color per app, etc.

i'm talking about the app ALWAYS ON EDGE in the play store, which is the app i recommended because the poster i quoted asked for that function. so yes, the app always on edge in the play store will do what you want as well. it has a ton of options in the settings.
i also used this one notifybuddy
but went back to picel pulse untill this one support missed call's
pixel pulse works with orginal notification system
I am trying to figure out how I am inadvertently turning the brightness level down to minimum on my Pixel 2016 phone when it is in my pocket. It does not happen often, but when it does, I need to find a really low light area in order to see the screen to be able to restore the brightness level.
My guess was that I have somehow accessed the brightness slider from the Quick Settings menu. Is it possible to remove the slider from the Quick Settings? Or is there a way to set brightness so that the minimum level is 50% brightness? That way if do inadvertently minimize the brightness setting, it will still be at a level where I can see the screen.
I do sometimes make quick adjustments to media volume by pushing the volume buttons while the phone is in my pocket, but I don't see how that could affect brightness.
Any ideas on this would be appreciated.
What OS are you running? What version? Custom ROM? Rooted? What Magisk modules installed?

This is a stock Pixel 2016, Android 10. No custom ROM. Not rooted. No Magisk modules.
It must be inadvertently getting into the display settings when I put it in my pocket. Does not happen all the time, but when it does, I have to find a really dark area to be able to navigate the screen to adjust the display back to a viewable level of brightness. I have not been able to figure out how I am accidentally activating the display settings.
Do you have double-tap to unlock screen enabled?

There is this app, which I do not own or have any affiliations with, that acts sort of like a filter that lowers the screen brightness instead of actually lowering it. I haven't really tested it fully, but it works perfectly on my s7 Edge.
And the best part is: there is no root required
All you have to do is to install the app, go to Settings - Accessibilty - Installed services - screen dimmer, and turn it on.
Just make sure that your actual brightness is at 100%, and you can change the brightness within the app, or with the shortcut in the notification bar.
