I have been a long time Lux user. But what I found, that Lux is bugged with some compatibility checking wakelock. Also, Lux uses screen overlay which is a problem. For a lot of system features in Marshamllow loaded S7edge alerts that an screen overlay has been detected and this must be disabled. Therefore, I configured Tasker (Paid software available on android market), my most favourite automation tool for android. So, where is the catch?
Process:
1. Disable Auto Brightness and Create a New Task in Tasker.
2. Select Action Category > Display > Display Brightness
3. Then Set Brightness Level value at 15 (Or whatever lowest brightness you're comfortable at)
4. Below, set if parameter as "%LIGHT < 20 (Or whatever brightness level you want for 15% of brightness)
Repeat Process 2-4 to create multiple steps for your brightness level adjustments.
Now, in Tasker profiles, you add a new profile to be triggered by "Events > Display > Display On and assign the created Task.
You can also adjust your brightness on per app basis when you want a specific app to have a set brightness level by following the same process except when creating a profile you have to select "Applications" and assign the created Task or a similar task created separately.
Update:
I have attached a Tasker configuration xml to get started with.
Please note that this guide will setup auto brightness to be adjusted on device wake. You can hook this update to any event as you want.
Tested working on SM-G935FD. Should work on any Tasker compatible android device with Light Sensor.
What's wrong with auto brightness?

+1.... I think that Android is great because of the customization option available, but sometimes people just over-customise.
There is nothing wrong with Auto-Brightness, and in case you have a problem with it, just override it using the bar on the notification panel.
Still, although I will never use it, this is a nice tutorial.

Default Auto brightness implemented in S7 edge is buggy. here on xda you can check it out.

But this is not over-customization, at least in my opinion. It means taking more control. I have been using (and many other people are) Lux to adjust the auto brightness behavior which polls sensor data at a specific period, whenever the screen is on. But if you use this guide, it will give you a auto brightness customization solution without polling light data from sensor all the time. even though the sensor will be on, it will not be active. I am not sure that it will impact on battery or not, but it gives me more control over the brightness adjustment.
cheers!

Good point. Though I don't see the issue on my device, Auto-Brightness works as I expect it to. It gets very bright on sun, and dim on dark rooms (though I would like it to go a tiny bit dimmer to be perfect). Will this Task auto adjust or you need to select the desired brightness yourself?

According to http://www.greenbot.com/article/303...brightness-fixes-a-major-mobile-headache.html and this: http://www.displaymate.com/Galaxy_S7_ShootOut_1.htm you can customize according to your liking .. hadn't tried it though all I need is the AOD to shine a lil bit dimmer
The drawback to this is that it only adjusts brightness based on the level when you turn the screen on. If the ambient light changes, the screen brightness won't change with it.
I can turn on Grayscale through Digital Wellbeing, through the built in Reading Mode of Resurrection Remix or change it in the developer settings. After turning the screen off and unlocking the device the colors are there again. If I check the settings, Grayscale is still turned on, but the colors are there.
I first had this problem on official MIUI, then on Xiaomi.Eu and now on Resurrection Remix. Is there somebody else that had the same issue? The only thing I could find in the internet was somebody else reporting this on MIUI, I didn't expect this to happen on Custom ROMs too.
I already checked if I have turned on Grayscale through multiple applications at once, there definitely is only one of them enabled and still happening.
Same problem
I am facing this problem in my Redmi Note 5 Pro, which is on official MIUI 11 Stable.
same problem
same problem on Redmi Note 7
Temporary Fix
I found out (thanks to a post on the MIUI forum) that disabling automatic contrast (white level) will prevent grayscale mode from automatically turning off.
This can be accessed at Settings-Display-Color Scheme. (Set it to 'Standard or Saturated but not Auto')

This workaround doesn't work on my Mi9 (MIUI 11.0.9).

It's working. Thanks
You have to
1. change the auto color scheme to any other two
2. change the stimulate color space to "monochromacy" in Developer option (*while the grey scale mode is off)

I tried this, But didnt work either.
There is a video or something to see what Im doing wrong?
I am on Havoc OS 3.6 with the Mi9T and I have the same bug.
I found a solution if you don't have the 'automatic contrast' option.
Turn off DC dimming (Settings > Display > DC Dimming) and the issue should disappear!
Amazing, I cannot live without grayscale
1- I couldn't figure out how to see the screen on time as after unplugging the phone. The Android 10 insists on showing daily screen time but I don't think it's relevant info regarding SoT.
2- There is a problem with sounds. I'm using Bixby routines and when I'm at work I adjusted the profile to make the phone silent. However, when I leave work and when the profile turns the sound on, the recent sound levels seem to gone and I have to adjust ringer and notification sounds manually. There is no a static level for sounds could be chosen whatsoever.
3- The last problem is about screen recorder. When screen recorder is on there isn't an option to hide notifications but there must be an option about this.

For the first one, I highly recommend AccuBattery app. It shows detailed charging/discharge statistics, as well as the battery health.
I couldn't understand why Samsung didn't add something like "Battery usage since last full charge" though.

Hi!
I would like something like this https://forum.xda-developers.com/t/...ness-fix-torch-light-not-photo-flash.3872858/ for my Xperia 5 II.
Or if there is a setting for it. I have read on some webpages that maybe you could boost it in settings. This site https://smartandroid.fr/en/comment-allumer-la-lampe-torche-de-son-sony-xperia-5-2/ is about "Xperia 5" (not "Xperia 5 II") and say:
Slide the notification bar down
Go to the settings shortcut page on which your » Lamp »
Rather than clicking on the logo to light it, click on the text: » Lamp ", In this way you will access the torch settings of your Sony Xperia 5
You can now move the slider to manage the intensity of your flash. Namely that the device will save the setting and that it will have this intensity during the next ignition
I cant find that setting on my Xperia 5 II.
I have also tried this:
I go to Settings
There, at the top, I search for "Flash"
Now I see the setting "Flashlight", but nothing happens what I try to choose it.
Is there any magic out there to turn up the light?
Hi raffe,
I'm glad you posted this as I was looking to ask this question myself. The flashlight is really dim compared to my old phone so it would be great to turn up the brightness (lumens).
I also have no response when I look at settings and search torch. And no way to find other options for this feature. I even looked on Developer Tools.
Hopefully someone can help....?
Maybe the problem is, there is only one led diode..
Agree the "torch" is incredibly woeful, worst I've seen to be honest.
if you make a photo then you see that the led can be pretty bright even brighter than everyother phone I've had. Problem is that sony sets it low to allow it to go on for couple of hours winthout overheating.
I'm looking into it myself, if I find anything then I'll let you guys know
So it's me again. I have a solution but it requires root

Download this app and select device google pixel 2 it allows you to control the torch brightness
But be careful and don't burn your finger by setting it to 100% max bright like me hah. The 10% is normal brightness 20% is brighter than every other device and 30% is enough for myself

Good find! I only wish there were an easier way to toggle flashlight on/off to a preset intensity. The app doesn't provide a shortcut.

The brightness setting may be hidden. On my Samsung simply long pressing the flashlight icon toggle takes you to the brightness control.
It was purely by accident that I discovered it as that's the only way to access it.
I agree that root shouldn't be required for such a simple thing.
Crap it

It's probably buried in the settings or a 3rd party flashlight app can be used to access the brightness controls.
I would use the former rather than the latter...

If it's buried then it's buried so deep that it doesn't exist.

With Samsung there's no rythm or reason; double tapping or long pressing to access unindicted drop down menus. They are far and few in between so finding one tends to be a shock.
Another reason I seldom upgrade the firmware.
Maybe Sony is more sane but don't count on it.
Play with it...
I had to un-root the phone. When I rooted, the one app that could change the light intensity worked, but three other apps (financial and banking) said they would not start on a rooted phone and I never could get past that. Back to square 1 ;-(
Does anyone know the current version of an app like this? The application works well enough. But the problem is that two flash leds don't work at the same time. It lights up white or yellow alone, but both do not work at the same time. I have a Xiaomi Mi 9 device and I find the flash led running in the developer test interface of the device and the flash led running from the normal interface does not find a difference in lighting twice or three times.

Is setting in wear app reflecting the same setting on watch?
I'm not having this issue.
Perhaps its a setting in the watchface itself?
Settings are the same. Only thing that stops it is power save. It used to be ok, just suddenly changed.
I have the same issue. Same with the heart monitor lights. My watch 3, when it would go onto DND at night, all lights, display and sounds were off. Now when it goes into DND and you get "busy" in the bed, it looks like a freaking disco room! Even turning HR off completely and putting it in power save mode, theater mode or sleep mode, it still does it. Seems like a huge fail on a very basic long standard DND. And why when you put it in sleep mode, does it force the phone's screen in black and white???? What genius thought of doing that without any option to disable it????
Had watch update this evening,problem has been fixed
