I can use high brightness mode with stock kernel, but it's not Bright enough. Did you notice if it's any brighter using EX kernel?

You have to have a kernel that supports it.

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..
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).

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.
Is there any kernel with this feature???
because the lowest brightness is still to bright and I think there is no other option to lowest brightness except adaptive brightness.
I can look at it, i think the brightness is too High as well. If i accomplish it you will see it in ruthless kernel.
No promise / eta though

Hi could anyone do a pwm free app or kernel mod for the pixel 3a.
The pwm frequency is very annoying. Of anyone could do this eliminating pwm would be awesome
Can you explain what the purpose of such kernel mod is? Thanks.
I'd be interested too. I don't own a Pixel 3a but I probably would if it didn't have PWM.
Apparently some newer phones from China (XIaomi, OnePlus Beta ROMs) have a new "DC Dimming" feature that supposedly just a software update. If anyone can find me the kernel source for such ROM with that feature I might take a look and see what can be done.

PWM = Pulse With Modulation flicker of the display, for some people with damaged eyes (including myself) it causes severe headaches and other neurological issues.
There's some more information here, but I take issue with the "affected" frequencies listed in the first paragraph.

Sadly the Pixel 3a is confirmed to use PWM in this review.

Dude, gift me something ? because i know how much headache you are facing with pwm thing.
So here is the app( https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=org.js.oledsaver ) to avoid pwm & use the phone with low brightness.
App name is OLED SAVER
It's simple. You install it & follow the instructions & use it. Enjoy! ?

Yes, the screen flickering because of PWM at a speed of 242.7 Hz can be seen througout the whole video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Y_yDs3SGiXg
"PWM = Pulse With Modulation flicker of the display, for some people it causes severe headaches and other neurological issues." - Some newer phones from China (XIaomi, OnePlus Beta ROMs) have a new "DC Dimming" feature that can be used to dimm the OLEDisplay.
Try using a brightness adjustment app that applies a transparent mask over the screen. It's a dirty work around but it lets you leave the brightness at 100% where there is no PWM enabled.
This is my first OLED screen but I haven't had issues with its 242Hz frequency PWM personally. I did notice that dark mode AKA pure black will make the OLED pixels react slower, leaving trails and other artifacts which can make it harder on the eyes than a grey or white background when scrolling.
Night mode at low brightness seems to help in dark situations as well.

Since the Pixel 4a has a slow PWM flickering, too. What can we learn from this Samsung kernel mod? https://forum.xda-developers.com/s7-edge/development/amoled-pwm-s7-edge-t3517739/
