screen brightness (timer)

I have my brightness timer set to automatic. When I get ready to use my phone outside on a sunny day it takes like 2 or 3 secs for the screen to brighten up so I can see it. I would like to keep my phone on automatic brightness, but I was wondering if there was a timer somewhere in the system that could be changed using root explorer? Any help would really be appreciated.

[Q] TF300T auto brightness in full screen videos

I have had my TF300T for a week and a half now. Whenever i watch movies in full screen, you tube, actual file on my tablet, flash video, or Netflix. the screen seams to adjust its brightness randomly throughout the video. I have ensured that i have auto brightness turned off, and have tried this on all three modes (performance, balanced, power saver). I get the same results in each mode. If i set the brightness high enough there is no auto adjustment of the screen brightness, but this is pretty annoying because i either have to choose between sucking my battery dry or dealing with the brightness randomly changing. Am i the only one having this issue? remember this only happens in full screen videos.

This happens to me too when I'm watching at the lowest brightness point, just raise it a bit and it should be okay. Anyways ASUS need to fix this too.

Thank you for the fast reply. I just wanted to make sure that it was not a defect with my tablet before i go past the return policy. I think i will call Asus and let them know about this issue to get their attention about it.

Any way of getting rid of automatic dimming?

So, even with auto brightness off the screen will dim, seems to be a power saving feature but it's so poorly implented.
Just writting this message the brightness went from 100% to dim to 100% again, is there any solution to keep the brightness at 100% all the time?

Do you mean after a certain amount of time? It could be the dim before it auto-turns off the screen. You could extend the time it takes before it dims and turns off screen by increasing the timeout in display settings.

No, what I'm talking about is that the screen will periodically get dimmer during use, as a power saving measure or because of overheating, I don't know.
You need to be at full brightness to begin with to notice the drop in brightness, it's not ultra obvious but it's definitely there. The device seems incapable of staying at full brightness for a prolonged time.

Set timeout to something reasonable (30 seconds or less) and enable Smart Stay.

Hands fully bright in AOD mode possible?

Hi all
Is there any way to even custom make a face with the watchmaker or the galaxy watch designer but keeping the hour and minutes hands fully bright as in full brightness when in AOD mode?
You see I just want to be able to check time on my motorbike when driving with a glance in fully sunny day and not looking for a shady place on the street:laugh:
Thanks

I think you can't control the brightness decreasing when the watch switches to AOD mode. I remember in Watchmaker there was a option to tune the brightness in AOD mode but it was never as bright as in normal mode.
What could help you is this app: Flaunt
It will keep your display on for 30 minutes but at a cost of battery life

I will have to try that! In the meantime, I think I've exploited a bug/glitch on my Galaxy Watch 3. I can't show it in a photo because of auto light adjustments, but it looks at least 1.5-2X as bright as the dim limitation.
I set my brightness to 5, with auto brightness on and screen timeout at 5 minutes - seems to consumer about 1% extra battery per hour.
1) In WatchMaker, set screen timeout to default, and 70% OPR in bright mode (15% is all you can do in dim mode)
2) With Tasker on your phone, set up an event triggered by time (i.e. 8AM - 11PM) that repeats every 5 minutes
3) Use the WatchMaker plugin to send that same face to your watch.
It may take a cycle or two to sync up, but what it does is tricks or freezes the watchface in something substantially brighter than the 15% OPR, I'd assume maybe 70% of whatever it is in brightness.
The hour and minute hand still update every minute. In fact, you will see the now frozen second hand move for about 3 seconds every minute as the time updates. I might just drop the second hand if I can't figure out how to hide it selectively. As an added bonus, the refresh doesn't activate the face, it will flash and the hands update but it remains in dim mode.
I think you can disable the vibrate notification for a face change. It flashes quite quickly on refresh - 1-2 seconds. I wonder if there's a way to disable the "white" flash on refresh? Otherwise, I'm pretty happy with it for a more usable AOD with faces that are otherwise hard to see at 15% OPR.
WARNING: Don't forget about burn-in. I'm creating a mesh overlay (basically 1 pure black pixel per 11x11 square) that will "rotate" every minute to duplicate the burn-in protection. Instead of shifting pixels, it will black out very pixel once every hour or two. Then I also have a rotation of black/dark gray screens with an equal number of colored faces.
