Is it true that setting the Screen Brightness to AUTO means more CPU-usage?
This might bot be significant, but interesting non-the-less
thx

I would imagine it would use a little more CPU, but I leave it on all the time and I never notice a dip in performance.

From what I've read the auto brightness only effects(negatively) your battery life. But I haven't tested so I don't know for sure. Mine isn't on because most of the time it can't decide between bright or not, which is really annoying
How do I do this? I can't use my phone if it's dark, my retinas are burning!
Did you try that?I can't help you and I expect you to get a satisfactory answer.
You could download screen filter from the market

CM9 or AOKP, you can set levels there.
I can't dim it enough with aokp
You can try rootdim from market

Use a dark background?
like bedalus said; download screen filter from the market, I set it up to 50% at night and no more headache.

ScreenFilter is perfect, thanks
anyone have battery drain with screen filter?

Not especially. If you see ScreenFilter taking a lot of juice, reboot and it should be fixed.
As for AOKP or CM9, you can set the lowest level to 1, which I frankly doubt is too bright for you. Default lowest is 20.
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?

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

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.
Rate this thread to express how well you can see the OnePlus 6T's display outdoors. In case you've been playing Minecraft for 18 months straight, you might not known how to get outside anymore. Well, find the door and walk through it. A higher rating indicates that it has very high maximum brightness and thus fantastic outdoor visibility in direct sunlight.
Then, drop a comment if you have anything to add!
Ok well here I go, I see a ton of views in this section but no comments.
First of all, I'm coming from a Moto Z2 Play and a OnePlus 3T:
The screen brightness of the OnePlus 6T is the major letdown I ever had, it is miserable, sad, despicable... Here is the deal, if I set the screen to 100% brightness in the O6T, it equals to anywhere around 85% or less of the max brightness in my 1 year old Moto Z2 Play !! also, the OnePlus 3T is brighter than the O6T by a tiny notch, but I have to add that my OnePlus 3T is 2 years old and noticeably lost its max brightness, but it still beats the O6T!!!!
If you are wondering about my device, I went to 2 T-mobile stores in the area and compared brightness, they are the same as my unit, so it is safe to say that the O6T is a disappointing device when it comes to screen brightness...
I will edit this post if I get more info or if I need to correct something.
Does the Oneplus 6T support a HDR10 display?
I had the Xiaomi Mi8 Pro and that did.
Looks good on maximum brightness, or very close to it, but anything else looks quite dim.
I must say that the screen is quite dim. I have to keep the phone at 65% or more while indoors to get good visibility from the phone. Not sure what that's about, but highly disappointed.
i found the built in ambient brightness kept setting a little dark and was slow to react to going out into sunlight. switched to velis auto brightness and it is fine now.
thanks for the comments. Was comparing this phone to a couple of others for a blackfriday purchase. Sounds like this one is hard to view outside.

I have zero issues with mine in direct sunlight.
I had to get ElementalX's HBM app to uncover the hidden 40%+ brightness of the screen.

I find the screen itself bright enough. Just the auto brightness is a bit aggressive and can set it too low
But the auto brightness is learning!
It was constantly to low on my phone too. But I dragged it higher every time it was to low. After 1 week of annoying adjusting, it's working fine now!
For those who complains that they have to dial up the brightness slider:
I was like you too, complaining about the auto brightness. However, it has now changed to "adaptive brightness", meaning it learns from your preference. Just turn it on and manually adjust when the auto adjustment doesn't suit you, after a week or two it will get better thanks to machine learning in the system that will learn your preferences.
Also, I remember reading somewhere that the brightness slider now adjusts the brightness in a logarithmic scale instead of linear on older versions of Android.
You can read more about adaptive brightness from an article by Android Authority:
https://www.androidauthority.com/android-pie-adaptive-brightness-927080/
(Also if you are interested, and geeky enough , you can read this excellent article on Android Pie's logarithmic brightness curve here: https://medium.com/@Tunji_D/reverse...ies-logarithmic-brightness-curve-ecd41739d7a2)
The screen brightness is great indoors but not bright enough (even with auto brightness off and on the max setting) for use outside on a sunny day.
Anyone who says otherwise isn't being honest with themselves, with us or possibly both.

Ha! I wondered why I was so much less annoyed with the auto brightness in the last couple of weeks. Thanks for the tip!
Gotta say, have loved the battery life. I like my screen bright and for a while it forced me to behave.
