Do these settings cancel each other out when they're both toggled on, or if they're both on, do they then just extend the bottom and top range of the overall brightness?
I know that extra dim works even when the phone is not at it's lowest brightness and you can see that by toggling it on and off.

To answer your question, they effectively cancel each other out.

I want to use auto brightness, but the auto brightness on this phone set the screen too dim most of the time.
When I was using Cyanogenmod 7 on my HTC Desire, the rom allows one to customize the auto brightness settings (light sensor threshold, screen brightness at each level etc.) Is there any app on the market that can do the same thing?
I have the same problem. But I want it to be darker. Does anybody know how to adjust the auto brightness?
Pull down the notification window. Click quick settings and you will see it right there

That's not what I'm looking for. I want automatic adjustment but not so bright as it is now.
Just want to add myself as another user who is in need of this feature. I can code, but I have no mobile dev experience/patience
Just to be clear, you want a manual auto-brightness setting? Just use a ROM that includes manual brightness in the notification bar.

Yes, that's right. I`m using LeeDroid and that rom doesn't have that option.
Nobody knows?
Maybe here is the start... I have not used it.

I would say what's needed is more like the ability to add or subtract brightness values from what the phone thinks the screen brightness should be.
So say the phone decides 70% is the right brightness, but you think actually it's brighter than it needs to be, you can set to always subtract 20% etc.
Conversely if you think the screen is always too dark, you can set it to always add 20% etc.
Would be a handy app to have.
Not sure why the custom auto brighness app needs to know where you are or have full internet access though...
Doesnt CM7 have this feature?
Okay so I discovered that Auto brightness in CM7 is messed up so instead I am using manual brightness setting. So far so good, but when I use Google navigation, after a while the screen dims to lowest brightness and wont go back to my brightness till the navigation app speaks next instruction and then it dims again after a timeout.
Anyway to turn this annoying behaviour off?
Does changing the screen timeout setting help?
The one under Settings > Display > Screen Timeout is the setting I'm reffering to.
No, that only affects the screen turning off. It remains on, just dims to lowest brightness
Give this app a whirl. You can select an app and while in the app you selected (navigation/maps/whatever) the screen will never turn off. I don't think it will dim either.
You have to use navigation thru car home to prevent that.

Is there any way to set the screen brightness below its minimum limit? Handy for reading in dimmed lights or texting in a cinema. I find that even the lowest setting is too bright
Don't text in cinemas, really annoying for other folks.

You can download an app called keepscreen from market. the controls brightness of the apps when selected. its brightness is pretty low compared to standard brightness level
Because I do give a breath to the 'other folks' I am finding ways to keep it to a bare visibility.
Thanks guys for the more helpful comments. I'll check those apps out first
Do you use your phone a lot on constant brightness? Does this drain battery or strain your eyes? Here's an application which will help you get accustomed to lower screen brightness.
hxxp://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.torcellite.smartscreen
Smart Screen reduces brightness gradually from two settings set by the user. You can also add a screen filter to it.
How to use the app:
To start, set a comfortable start brightness and a lower end brightness. You can see the previews.
Set by how many points the brightness should fall every cycle.
Set the cycle time in minutes. Minimum being minute.
Also apply a screen filter if using at night or if required.
Once complete, a notification will pop up allowing you to reset your brightness and disables the filter.
NOTE: ENABLE FILTER ONLY RIGHT BEFORE PRESSING START OR YOU CANNOT CUSTOMIZE THE TIME AND BRIGHTNESS REDUCTION POINTS.
You can also use the app as a dimmer. Just enable the filter and leave it. You dont have to press start. To disable, go to the app again and uncheck "Enable screen filter".
Example:
Start brightness : 200
End brightness : 100
Reduce brightess by: 15
Interval : 2m
So, the app will reduce brightness by 15 every two minutes from 200 to 100.
The screen filter is to add a shadow kind of effect.
I know they mean well, but I do not like being forced to use the new Adaptive Brightness (aka Auto Dim) feature and I cannot find a method to disable it.
I keep my display on a low brightness setting, usually a 3 or 4. When the Adaptive Brightness kicks in, the screen is too dim. The only way I can find to "correct" this is to set the brightness higher, much higher. A counter productive solution.
Is there another way to turn off, or disable this unwanted feature?
