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

I'll have it done in a few hours. The dark values are fine but i need to wait for daylight

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

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.
I've find the nexus screen generally way too bright and max it to 7% normally. At night I have it at 0% using the reduced brightness kernel under the experimental kernel.
What i would like to know is, is there a way of making the brightness slider have a custom range from say 0-15% or something?

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 noticed with auto brightness off and max brightness enabled the screen still gets brighter in sunlight. Even when i turn outdoor mode on it is not as bright as when the sun hits the sensor. I want to know if there is a way to enable this maxed out brightness setting without it turning off everytime a shadow is cast over the sensor. A max "nits" toggle of some sort. Using high battery is not an issue when i need this mode is when im riding in a work truck so i have a charger. Thanks for any input.

Is the P40 Pro reducing the screen brightness when getting hot in direct sunlight?
My mate 30 Pro seems to do this. Really annoying as i dont have it on auto.
I'm asking because my Note10+ is doing that, my Oneplus 6 never did that and it really sucks for outdoor readability in sunlight...
hey, I know that when outside in the direct sun light auto brightness kicks in and dims it down as it'll help see the screen, other wise you may have the reflection of the sun and then the brightness from the screen, You can always turn it off in settings?
Actually that's not what I meant. On my Note10+ auto brightness kicks in a brightness boost in sunlight, so the display is pretty good to read, but after a while, the device heats up, caused by the sun and then it reaches a threshold and to reduce system temperature, the screen gets dimmed down to a level, where reading any text becomes very hard.
