This is an app dependent setting, you can't universally disable it for all apps I guess. You have to manually edit the app.
Else try going to that app's settings and see if there's an option to reduce brightness.
Else use an app like this: Darker to decrease the brightness of everything universally, which even overrides the app's settings.

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?
Is there any way to set the screen brightness below its minimum limit? Handy for reading in dimmed lights or texting in a cinema. I find that even the lowest setting is too bright
Don't text in cinemas, really annoying for other folks.

You can download an app called keepscreen from market. the controls brightness of the apps when selected. its brightness is pretty low compared to standard brightness level
Because I do give a breath to the 'other folks' I am finding ways to keep it to a bare visibility.
Thanks guys for the more helpful comments. I'll check those apps out first
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.

App to automatically adjust screen brightness for "None ambient light sensor" phone
I have made an app "Auto Brightness by PP" to do automatically adjust screen brightness depend on ambient light. I believe that it is the only one now that can do it without "Ambient light sensor hardware".
I make it for my Samsung Galaxy J7 (which do not has auto screen brightness function), to help me auto adjust screen brightness to bright up in the outdoor and to be dark in the night, helping me to easily unlock my screen with pin code.
It has been already proved that it work for other phone too such as Samsung J2,5,7, Duos, Grand, Sony Xperia, I-mobile, Huwaii etc...
Hope it can help you who got the same problem with me too.
Let try and support me if you like.
To find app please search for "Preeda" in google app store or "Auto Brightness by Preeda"

Why does that app needs to read my contacts? Suspicious.
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.
Here is a link to the app:
