What's the best way to tune the auto-brightness on the N5?
It's a bit too bright at night, I want it to go lower. I tried a couple of apps, but didn't really work too well, or maybe I couldn't figure out how to configure them too well.
Otherwise it's mostly fine, other than being too quick to react to only slight fluctuations in ambient light.

Yeah, its waaaaay to bright. I had to go manual on it. There is no way to control automatic brightness on stock android. You would have to wait for custom roms to be able to adjust automatic brightness levels... except you know someone at Google working on Android project?
YAAB works for me, check the divide range settings by 10 setting for night mode.

That's the app I tried (and Lux). What does that setting exactly do? I didn't have it checked before. I will try it now, thanks for the tip.
Is there a Super Low Brightness Mode on this phone or on the International version? I could have swore there was such a thing for the HTC ONE M8... Thanks in advance.
The closest thing I can think of is the "brightness settings" component of GravityBox (a Xposed Module)... I don't know if they work, as I have never fiddled around with them, but you could always give them a go.
I use the app called night mode to do this as well

I use Lux Auto Brightness (https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.vito.lux). It's the best automatic backlight adjustment app I've used (I had some problems with running out of memory on my Galaxy Nexus, but no such problems with my M8). It lets you set the backlight so low the screen is almost black.

Just wanted to say thanks guys! all these are great workarounds. I thought I saw a sense feature for Super Dimming mode or reading mode like the S5.

This app hasn't been working for me. It doesn't change brightness regardless of the light in the room. Yours has been working fine?
Yeah it's been working great for me. Are you using a screen protector? Lux relies heavily on the light sensor on the front of your devices (which on my M8 is seemingly infinitely better than my Galaxy Nexus was). A screen protector can interfere with the amount of light the sensor collects and mess up the very sensitive Lux app.
I bought a tf700 from eBay it came with a custom Rom . it doesn't seem to get as bright as my old stock tf700 with outdoor mode. Is there a way to enable outdoor mode on a custom Rom?

IPS+ as it was called is nothing but max brightness. I run ZOMBI-POP and need shades when turning brightness to max. What rom did you flash?
Hello Honor 8 users! this phone was sent to me from US, I noticed that the auto brightness will move to do lowest brightness if I turn on auto-brightness, the highest brightness is not very bright either so I don't enjoy using the phone in the sun. I've upgraded to 7.0 but the issue still persists. Any suggestions?
This is a long running issue. There is no fix. Huawei should be aware of it. But they don't seem to care. Try speaking with Honor support about the issue.
It has pwm even on full brightness. I tried the pwmfree app https://forum.xda-developers.com/t/app-amoled-pwmfree.3898070/ but it still hasn't fixed the problem.
Doesn't it bother you? My eyes hurt while looking at the screen.
I've read a bit about it on the link you've provided. How did you know if our phones have it? I am quite interested in this!
You use the camera from another smartphone or another device to look at the screen of the a52. And you change the shutter speed or exposure in the camera until you will see the bars pulsating on the screen of the a52.
Oh well then it seems like most of my phones since 2015 or so have had that, and I've never really suffered from headaches from it, not that I've noticed.
You can't notice it consciously, but some people, including me, are affected by it. The thing is this could easily fixed by samsung, but they wont do it. Other companies have removed the pwm effects on their amoled screens.

Damn that sucks, especially when you know its an easy fix from the OEM to implement.
One thing though, from what I've read off the PWM Free apk page, it uses a transparent black overlay and increases its opacity as you decrease brightness. If that's the case then you could use Twilight to acheive the same goal, right? Just max out the brightness and turn off auto brightness, then use Twilight as your brightness adjuster, turning the bluelight option down. Could that work?
The weird thing about the a52 is that it has pwm even on max brightness, so probably twilight wont work as well. I will try it later though. Same problem on the premium samsung range: https://eu.community.samsung.com/t5...been-addressed-on-the-s21-series/td-p/2641628

Yeah, it still flickers even at full brightness. Maybe setting it at 60hz could fix that? I'll try it later to see if that could work. My previous phone doesn't have that issue at full brightness, so I'll gauge the difference based on the difference between the two.
I use mine only on 60hz and it still flickers.
Yeah, I've tested it and there is a difference between 60hz and 90hz, but the flicker is still present.
Edit: I also re did the test on my old device, a J7 Pro, and it stops to flicker altogether at peak brightness. So yeah, this phone has very prominent PWM.

Yeah, that's why samsung should do something about it. Because we still have flickering at max brightness, we can't use other software to correct the issue.

I suspect you didn't actually have the brightness set to maximum. This cannot be set manually, but is only set when the ambient brightness sensor (front camera) is illuminated by a very bright light - the sun, or a very bright flashlight. The brightness of the display is then visibly increased above the normal maximum.
Well, if the max brightness can't be controlled then it's not relevant. In this review https://www.notebookcheck.net/Samsu...ntly-more-affordable-without-5G.539956.0.html they tested the pwm on the display with an osciloscope and it shows that when you manually set the display at 100% brightness it still has pwm. This is one of the worst pwm out there, and a shame for samsung to do something like this.
is a shame unless samsung make a change in the firmaware the a52 is a pain in the eyes i need to sell mine now i cant play any video game unless i want a eyestrain
Pwm sensitive here.
Samsung A71 was OK pwm 240 hz.
Samsung 21fe was OK pwm 240 hz.
Samsung s6 edge was OK pwm 240hz
Mi 11 ultra not OK pwm 480hz. Not OK even with anti-flickering or pwm_free / oledsaver app. Mi 11 ultra has Samsung display E4.
I really don't understand. Maybe is the highs and Bottoms in the amplitudes.
Works well on my galaxy s8

Hi. I realised the negative effects last year after a year of using amoled display on redmi note 10. It gave me headaches and also my eye power changed from 0.5 to 1.5 for both the eyes in just less than a year. I do 3 hours of use a day. That's how I learnt about PWM and the headache it gives to people.
edit - REDMI NOTE 10 died a week ago and I am searching for a phone which doesn't have PWM issue in it. For past 7 days I am using LCD screen and my eyes feels a lot better.
