Is there any way to customize the auto backlight levels in mango? The screen is always too bright indoors and too dim outdoors.
tht's true, it would be cool to customize, because auto backlight depends on the battery level but nothing about light sensor...
Umm, the automatic backlight is very much based on the phone's light sensor. Battery Saver *might* lower the brightness automatically, but the "Automatic" option under Settings -> Brightness is based on the light level that the phone detects.
wow...shame on me i didn't notice that...
HD7 screen is not really effective when sun is shining outdoor...
Just curious, for indoor use like the Office, how do you like your Display Brightness ? Do you use Adaptive Brightness, or use an app or set it to a specific % yourself ?
I kind of like setting it to 50% myself in the office, as Adaptive seems to go either go too low dim, or sometimes too bright, but doesn't stay.
I don't use adaptive; I just set my brightness manually with the slider in quick settings. I prefer fairly low brightness indoors (about 20%), I set it to around 50% outdoors, or full brightness if I need to read the screen under the sun.
So i would like to use screen Auto brightness but it sets the screen too dark or some times keeps hunting for a level ...
Any place to adjust the sensitivity of the auto brightness itself?
Right now i just turn the auto brightness off and set the screen brightness level manually

Agreed, I do the same as you. I always found that these auto-brightness functions don't work worth a squat. I don't know who is in charge of designing the sensitivity settings for it but they really don't work that well. So I always leave it on manual brightness setting and set it to my liking.
I use One plus One. On it, if i use manual brightness on MX and turn it all the way to minimum, it is still too bright in the darkness of night. Automatic brightness is dark enough.
Here's my only problem with this watch : The active display is beautiful, bright, colorful, great to look at. Wish I could look down at my watch and see it everytime but I can't - it flips to AOD display no matter what.
I can live with that, but I'd like to make the 'inactive' display or the 'AOD' display brighter than it is. I have not found any way to do this.
Is there an app or a rooted modification to make this brighter? I don't need the active display on all the time, just want the 'inactive' display to be brighter so I don't have to squint at my watch during the day.
Does anyone have a solution?
Disable the "Low light" auto and AOD stay visible correctly.
I have "Auto low brightness" set to "off" but the AOD brightness still goes down to a level 1 brightness and is very difficult to see. I'd like to see it at a 4-5. Are there no rooted mods or anything that can fix this?
Yes, we must have at least brightness to 4 to see properly AOD. But if "Auto low brightness" is ON even at 6 is it dark with dark light.
I tried setting it to 10 while keeping "auto low brightness" OFF - but the AOD brightness is still too dim. I wish there was a way to change this.
I don't know of any way to do this for native watchfaces. However, Watchmaker allows you to customise the AOD to your specification. I have a Fortis watchface I downloaded and customised that the AOD just hides some complications and is fully visible. Yes, it does drain battery quicker but still lasts the day...
I gave Watchface a try and although you can customize much more, after setting the dimmer brightness to 40% (which was the max) it still looked just as dim, if not more, than the default Galaxy AOD display. I guess I'm the only one with this complaint - I work in a bright environment.
same here.. aod is way too dim. There should be an option to change the brightness of that even if it does use a little more battery.. There seems to be 2 different brightness settings with the aod that automatically adjust between the two but turning off Auto low brightness doesn't seem to make any difference. The point of having aod is so we can use it like a normal watch.. but as it is now it's almost pointless.. hope samsung fixes this in a future update.. but unlikely.. I use watchmaker but can't find the option to adjust the aod.. any ideas???
On my Galaxy Watch 42mm I use AOD Clock, it's an app not a watchface, but stays always on very bright and it seems to be moving slightly (amoled friendly?). But uses a lot of battery.
