So I found a little trick to wake your screen by motion or waving your hand over the sensors. Simply go to settings/accessibility/dexterity and interaction/Gesture wakeup. Screenshot below.
ENJOY!
Nice, thanks

Hey Sooop, does turning this feature on have a significant effect on battery consumption?

Hi.
I am using SINGH-MIUI, and when on AUTO BRIGHTNESS, the brightness is just too low. Is there a way to change this while still being on Auto?
Thanks
Beny, screen brightness depends on your sensor on auto.. how much light it is absorbing.. it is not the fact that it is low with my rom, it will be same on all roms...

Thanks, but that's exactly the point: i feel that on AUTO, this ROM is much dimmer than other roms. If that's impossible, than maybe i'm wrong?

if your sensor is covered with screen protector or you are in low lighting room, it will be dim..
I have the brightness turned almost all the way down then I turn it on auto. Is this the correct way to set it? It seems very bright even set so low.

It definitely is too bright, i agree. I'm just putting together a nice setup for the Lux app, and hope that Google will make it a little less aggressive and therefor more battery-friendly
I noticed this as well. I just turned it down and left it (no auto).

I thought about doing this, but then it will be hard to see in bright sunlight.

I've never used Lux. Could you share the profile if possible when it's complete?

Sure thing, check back a little later please man, what were the folks at google thinking when they made these settings...

Agree the screen is way too bright out of the box. Interested in your lux config as well

They were outside in California during the summer in the day and in an overly bright and cheerful Google headquarters during the night. They forget not everywhere has retina burning light levels
I've noticed that iOS, Touchwiz and a few other vendor Android skins implement a sliding-scale auto-brightness: You can enable auto, but also slide the overall average brightness up and down. This is a simple solution for varying comfort levels: Brightness fiends can tune the auto higher and those with sensitive eyes can tune it lower. I am surprised stock Android has yet to implement this.
I found auto brightness to be a bit erratic. I'm sticking with manual brightness.

Here are my lux settings. At very bright areas you might have to add a few steps but it works well for me in darker, dimmer areas
https://docs.google.com/file/d/0B7IQuH022o2GSTAyWGtWTnhmaEU/edit?usp=docslist_api
I'm using dynamic mode
Edit: Sorry it apparently wasn't publicly available, but it is now
Have any of you had your brightness fluctuate from higher to lower? I don't remember the n4 doing that only. I thought android only went from low to high.
I actually want the opposite. I set my brightness all the way high in manual but I hate that automatic dimming. Can I get that fix? All I want is to work like my HTC One where I set the brightness all the way high and never saw the screen dim itself automatically. Please help

Yeah, and i hate that. I am not battery crazy like some other users, all i want is a bright screen regardless what time of the day it is. 100% brightness all the time. Can Auto brightness be turned off? Otherwise, and I hate to say it, but will going back to the One until this gets fixed.
auto brightness is terrible
the screen become yellow and green look while the brightness is low
only 100% can present the true white color
compare with htc one, i think one is better performance
anyone get the yellow tint problem?

+1 for Lux. I had the battery-guzzling HTC Amaze ("you'll be AMAZED how fast your phone dies!" ). Lux would almost double my battery life when I programmed it with ultra-conservative (but still usable) settings.
If Google will update the auto brightness calibration everyone will start seeing much better battery life.

I use this one:

The trick is in setting up the profiles by hand, the automatic profile settings can be wonky.
Take some light measurements in dimmes light and establish the lowest level you can accept the screen. On an N5 this is probably all the way min. (At first you may find that it's pretty dim but Realize that you'll get used to this and later wonder why you liked the screen so bright.)
Then go into bright light and find the min level that you can accept. This might be all the way bright (on my Amaze, all the way bright was unnecessarily bright EVEN IN SUNLIGHT).
Then take a reading in a normal room and find the min acceptable brightness. This may still be all the way min.
You may want to sample a point or two in other light levels, usually 3-5 samples is enough if you suss out the power curve correctly.
Everyone loves iPhone battery life... ever notice how conservative an iPhone's auto brightness setting is? I'll go out on a limb and guess that, if the N5 is as aggressively bright in auto mode as everyone says (don't have mine yet), there's the possibility of getting an entire extra hour of SOT just by switching instead to very conservative auto-brightness settings.
Also if the min brightness is still pretty darn bright, there's a really good chance an update can knock that brightness down and stretch the battery even further.
Hello,
Anyone notice issues with auto brightness feature? It appears the light sensor on my Galaxy S6 isn't functioning correctly - the values coming back are around 3.0 lux according to this app: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.bartat.android.elixir
Where is the sensor located - in the front camera? Any tricks to fix it?
Thanks!
Not me. What I notice is that auto brightness tends to have very low brightness when there's low light or very high brightness when you're outside. What issues are you having?

Download CPU Z and check if the sensor is showing diff intensities. Also the s6 will shut down brightness modes if it detects a battery low below 8-5 %.

The values seem to range from 3-6 lux. Where is the sensor located, in the camera?

Its on the top, beside the speaker. There are 2 black dots.. One is the proximity sensor and one is the ambient light sensor.
Is there anyway to increase the brightness to the always on display? Seems like it should be a little brighter?
Thanks, Vinny
Seems to get brighter as the brightness in room increases. I just didn't give it enough time to work.

Hi mate
But that sounds about right , the brighter the room the brighter the display has to be in order to see it better ( when in auto mode) , disable the auto brightness under display and set it manually to a high value .... ... see if it helps
i'm using superman rom v1.8, the always on display doesnt seem to change position but i heard that it only changes 1 pixel per minute,
my question is how do we know if its postion changed or not?
I am using an xposed module for AOD and force 90hz display. With tasker I am able to switch to 60hz display while on AOD. However I wanted to know is there any to reduce the refresh rate to below 60hz say 10hz so as to reduce the battery drain while using AOD.
Do you know that 10 is basically 10 FPS on your phone screen?

Yes so when the screen is at AOD. It will save battery
Sent from my OnePlus7Pro using XDA Labs
I don't think it's possible, because it can cause serious problems. Your phone will render animations 6 times slower or will skip frames. Almost all phones work on 60 hz screens, so there's no real solution out RN
Maybe google will adapt variable refresh rate, so it wont update the screen, unless something is happening
Prior to this phne I was using Samsung note 8 and the battery usage whole day for AOD was only around 5%.while on this phone it more around 20%. So I think in Samsung phne the refresh rate might drop during aod as both phne have Amoled screen.. The feature like in new apple watch with 1hz refresh rate while in aod
Sent from my OnePlus7Pro using XDA Labs
Refresh Rate doesn't matter on the AOD, because it's not updating. AOD apps don't allow the phone to sleep its CPU and GPU, causing battery drain
I use 0hz. It took me a while to figure it out but by pressing the power button, i get 0hz!

The app that I am using does allow phone to get sleep. I changed the refresh from 90 to 60 and it did made a difference.

Samsung has a phisical module for aod inside the phone. It doesn't matter that both phones have amoled displays. Samsung is far ahead with this technology and their aod is the best in any phone.
