Hey guys
Is there any way to max out the brightness even more? When it's light its hard to see my screen. I need a bit more back lighting.
Is there a software fix?
Bump....
No software is going to be able to override a hardware limitation.

Well is there software for it? Because I'm pretty sure it's not the hardware...
The software is the brightness slider in Android. I am not sure where you are going with this. If you are thinking that the you can "unlock" higher brightness than the max setting on the slider, you are mistaken. The max brightness is the max brightness the panel can put out. These are very cheap panels, don't expect much.
You sure its not turned down, and have some auto adjust settings turned on? In the system preferences in 5.1.1. there is now settings for day and night levels and auto adjustment. Mine was dim everytime I rebooted after I updated to later versions of Malaysk 5.1.1 ROM's until I figured out where those automatic brightness settings were.

Nope, i checked it a hundred times haha
So why is it too low with you? Do you have a sunroof or something so that there is more light reflection on it then normal?
I just like a really bright screen TBH

Has anyone else noticed that the auto brightness is really dark? Especially when compared to my s3 set to auto. Or do I have a messed up tablet?

No auto brightness sucks. You shouldn't use it anyway because it eats battery.
Yep mine sucks too.
How autobrightness works on the magnificent SGN 10.1:
1. Autobrightness ON: when You adjust the slider now You set the minimum brightness that the SGN 10.1 has to achieve. It will never get darker than the adjusted brightness level
2. Autobrightness OFF: set the wished brightness with the slider
It is genious that brightness can be adjusted within one tap ..........

Wow, thanks! This was my one gripe - that autobrightness was too dark in lowlight settings. I had resorted to manually setting brightness, but this is superb! Thanks again.
I don't understand this. Once you click the auto brightness box after doing this it's still too dark. With the box unchecked it does not auto adjust.

Well if you have the box checked you can adjust the lowest allowed brightness with the slider, just try it out in a dark room - Check the box and drag the slider.
With the box unchecked you have to manually adjust the brightness with the slider.

I understand that but with the box checked and level right up its way too dull and althpugh it adjusts automatically, every adjustment it makes is too dull.
Autobrightness drains your battery anyway. Just set your brightness manually. What is it, like 2 clicks?

Chill out bro, auto brightness is the bomb son. More so for phone than tab, but still I find auto on my note 10.1 to be total ****, it's always adjusting itself..to the point where I'm almost having an epileptic fit. I'm now forced to use manual as you suggested. 2 effing clicks, this is an outrage it's 20-12.

Auto-brightness is my only major complaint about this tablet. I have always set my Android phones to Auto and works great. This device it goes as dim as possible & never gets brighter.

Mine definitely does not work like this. I uncheck Auto and set my slider to Max brightness. The screen gets really bright. I then check the Auto box again and the screen goes back to too dim for my current conditions. The slider still shows Max (all the way to the right), though.
Anyway, I don't think working this way would be good, even if it worked. If I set the minimum brightness for where I want it when I'm bed, reading, and all the lights are off, it still won't be bright enough if I'm sitting on the couch, in the afternoon, with just light coming in the windows.
It needs a way to set an Auto Brightness offset or pad value, so you can tell it, for example, make the brightness always be 10 higher than what you would normally set it to.
Auto brightness is seriously off base on this device. Even set to totally bright and auto, it them dims it to an unusable point. Good thing I never use auto anyway.

Seems to work only on the intl 8010 models, not on 8013s. Ive had both, and thats been my experience. Definitely a major improvement on the 8010 and the way autobrightness should work (allow user to set minimum, then scale up from there).

I'm really not getting this. Someone said to check the box and then adjust the slider. Well, the slider doesn't move once I check the box.
When I check the box and then adjust the slider the check in the box goes away.
I can't even do that. The slider doesn't move with the box checked. I have to uncheck the box to move the slider, so I don't understand how this works at all.
I wish auto brightness worked. I prefer to use it on my other devices. Samsung really screwed the pooch. I hope there's a fix. I wonder if they even realize it's broke.
Guys, i noticed that screen brightnes is always changing, it`s getting a little bit darker and then changing again to a more light, this is really annoying, auto-brightness is off, brightness level is on max, what is this, anybody knows ? And how can i fix that ? I`m on 5.0 with root.

By autobrightness, you mean Adaptive brightness? or is there a 2nd setting I'm not aware of?
...and is it in a particular app? Some browsers etc have their own built in autobrightness
No, autobrightness is off, i set brightness manually on maximum, but the brightness is always changing a little bit, i don`t know, maybe bacuase of the device temperature or something ? It become more darker and then more lighter, just a little bit but i can see this, and it`s all the time.

In lollilop it's not autobrightness , it's Adaptive brightness... and you have to turn it off after the update

Yep. And changing the slider manually only seems to change the minimum brightness that adaptive brightness will go to, unless you turn it off

exactly , it took me 1 min to figure it out yesterday
I have the same issue
That's why I stick to Velis Autobrightness even on Lollipop. Nexus 5 auto brightness is a mess.
Way too bright. Never remembers my preferences. Every time I turn in the screen, even in a dark room, brightness us 50%. I'm constantly turning it down but it goes back up.
How can I fix this? I refuse to believe my only option is a third party brightness app.
-EDIT- Here's the solve:
Just go to apps>settings>applications>application manager>more>reset apps preferences. This clears out any personalized brightness settings. This worked immediately.
Well turn auto brightness off.

Yes that is, you set the brightness the level you want, manually.

No. I want auto brightness to adjust to the ambient light. That's the point of auto brightness. 50% brightness in a movie theatre means something isn't working right. And the S7 auto brightness is supposed to be personalized to the user but obviously this isn't working either.
Mine is working just fine in any ambient, I don't know what settings you mess up with.

I don't know! users are prone to do such a thing when they mess up with their phone.
Make a backup, reset your phone and try again. Mine still works just fine.
alright, smart alecs. Just talked to Samsung Support. Just simply go to apps>settings>applications>application manager>more>reset apps preferences. This seemed to fix it. The tech said sometimes carrier updates can corrupt settings. So that's neat...

How do you mess up with app manager?
Installing stuff on your smartphone!
So...
Users are prone to do this. Again mine and everybody's else are working just fine.

Every time you install an app on your phone they change something. Some times are nothing important, other times they mess with the whole system settings.
Glad your settings are working now.
Actually i had the same problem when i got the phone, did a bit of search n found it has a smart brightness feature.
You have to choose ur brightness level according to the ambient light in the room cuz it remembers each time you set the brightness level according how much light the sensor is picking.
Short answer, keep changing the level of brightness for couple days until it learns the new levels.

Ya I did all of that and it wasn't adjusting to my preferences. That's was the problem. Resetting as described fixed it as it relearned my preferences

When I'm outdoor in extreme sunlight the phone's brightness goes all the way up and then it enters a mode where colours seems washed out. But only if the light is very strong. Does your S7 behave the same?
I may have to give that app settings reset a try. At first the auto function seemed fine. As time passed it grew worse. However, mine would be too dark in dimly lit situations and semi-acceptable in bright conditions. I finally turned off automatic as it was extremely annoying and almost always incorrect.

Yes. That's a special boost mode I think. Without it the screen wouldn't get bright enough to see well.
Has anyone else had issues with their Adaptive Brightness not working. Toggling the setting has no effect on my display. For such an expensive phone I expect things like this to work.
Yes, it doesn't work that great for me either. I mean I can see it adjusts the brightness "somewhat". But it appears it is not nearly as dramatic as on my Galaxy S7 which would pretty much perfectly adjust the brightness.
I agree that a phone this expensive should do it correctly out of the box. Google please listen.
This is the intended function as I understood it, so I googled it and here confirms. This is not intended to operate the same as auto brightness many other phones use.
In Android L, Google's introduced a new feature called Adaptive Brightness that combines manual and auto brightness. You can manually adjust the brightness level to a state you like. Once it's set, your screen will adjust based on ambient light so it stays at the same brightness relative to the light around you. This way you can set the screen to your preferences without sticking to an absolute level.

Been this way a long time. Would this be your first Nexus/Pixel phone?

The problem I have is that every time the phone is rebooted, adaptive brightness is set back to Off, even though it was On when the phone was restarted. Running NDE63V and not rooted.
Not sure its only me or the Adaptive brightness option is way too "sensitive" after upgrading to oreo... Its like brightness gets "moving" every tick my phone moves Could it be a bug? Or configurable somewhere in services settings? Pretty annoying

Yes, it's annoying, unfortunately there isn't a setting to configure. Maybe some dev could light us and port this settings from nougat to oreo
also experiencing the same issue, it keep adjusting very quickly
the auto adopt brightness is so sensitive after upgrading to OREO.
Same issue. I have to turn off auto and set brighness manually
Yes. Back to manual

I have the same issue here and it is annoying
same to me, on Nougat/MM, the changes between light levels happen quite smoothly, but on oreo they all feel choppy and disruptive.
same issue here and probably all the users arround the world...good job Sony ur geting better every time ¨sarcazm¨
