Hi,
Anyone know how I can up the brightness 1 or 2 notches from the default Auto Adjust Backlight settings?
Basically I love the light sensor i.e. auto backlight adjustment feature but in a normal room I would like the backlight up 1 notch from the brightness based on my ambient light.
I can switch off the auto adjustment but when I go out into the bright sunlight, I can't read a single thing on screen until I go and max out the backlight manually.
Hope some one can "shed some light" on this! ;-) hahaha.
I wanted a simple auto brightness app that scaled a wide range from full bright to very dim without having to manage very specific settings to get it to work properly. I created Lumen to do just that. I also wanted to create something that would get as bright as adaptive brightness does on full brightness but still dims to appropriate levels.
Lumen features:
* Custom color filter - includes ability to put filter on timers.
* One touch notification bar controls for brightness boost and color filter. Brightness boost also temporarily adjusts your screen timeout to 5 minutes. Once you turn off the boost or turn the screen off it reverts back to normal. Great for gaming or showing something to your friends.
*Automatically scales from night mode to full bright. Allows calibration slightly to easily accommodate different phones sensors.
Please let me know what you think, especially with the brightness levels that my algorithm puts out. Thanks!

For those who have tested it out, thank you!
Would there be any value in adding options to apply the color filter based on sunrise and sunset?
Night Owl enable you to reduce the brightness of your device screen lower than you can achieve with the default settings in order to avoid eye strain or headache in a dark environment or at night. If you have an AMOLED display, you can also save battery!

I've notice that gray color or black color on my phone will change have a white tint when my phone is under sunlight or in a bright area, is there a way to remove the feature?

Doesn't work
This is a Qualcomm specific feature which is enabled at the hardware level, named Assertive Display

You can't simply disable it.
Just a heads up to everyone who has an S10e The color saturation of the screen even when Vivid is enabled doesn't display the saturation correctly... To fix this "enable blue light filter" and set it at the lowest possible then go back and look at a picture, you will see how it is no longer washed out.
You can see the correct color saturation with "blue light filter" off while in the recent apps screen but once you return to the image it washes out. I figured out applying "blue light filter" corrects it for now!
I hope this helps!!!
I assume they are going to fix this in a future update. Cheers! ?

Seleting vivid to me doesn't do what it should be doing.
I have found that applying "blue light filter" and setting it's effect to minimum fixes the color saturation and reverses the washed out look on images. Another way is to go into visibility enhancements -> color adjustment -> then either apply a filter there like "Tritan" or "personalize color" and follow the steps. To me I cannot see any difference between the above steps or just simply applying "blue light filter" set to minimum. To me both look to correct the color saturation about the same.

Hey is this happening after the latest update or its happening right out of the box
Out of the box. Having it too
We should write to Samsung about this so they could release an update guys !
Good catch!
Now I know the reason why my Motorola Z3 Play displays beautiful colors when browsing my pictures and the S10e looks dull.
I thought Motorola's AMOLED display is oversaturated. It turns out that there is a bug in the display of the S10e.
Thanks for this. I just applied blue light filter and now it's fixed.
I don't notice a huge difference
Can someone tell me how to see how Natural & Vivid are washed out?
It makes quite a bit of difference on natural. By default white looks kind of yellowish. By enabling the blue light filter on minimal it looks like theres actually more blue added to the color balance. Like the default has a blue light filter applied that's stronger and it gets unset by the filter.
May be that it's by design though. They did make a point that the s10's displays have 30% or so less blue light because it's better for health.
Before I had the screen set to vivid, temp centered and then the green slider all the way to the left and the red slider almost all the way to the left. And the blue slider all the way to the right. This seems like a much better color balance than the default as well. Offcourse you do get the oversatured old style 'Samsung' colors this way. It makes the whites seem a lot whiter.
I also noticed this when I compared the displays of my S8 side by side my new S10e. I used the same content and the colour saturation on the s10e was noticeably duller. The blue light filter trick on lowest seems to have resolved it for me also.
I'll have to tinker with the vivid colour channel settings for fun to see if that does the same.
Good catch
have you Tried using the use sRGB option in developer options?
