AOD is too dim for me. I like to increase it, yet keep is automatic.
I tried to run shell "screen_auto_brightness_adj 1" on tasker but it failed.
Any other way?

Hum.. Settings>search for always on display > auto brightness?
I'm not sure, but I think if you uncheck auto brightness, set bright at max and then set auto again, it might work.
Try that and let us know =)

Eh. Not a great solution since that affects the entire phone experience. I don't want to manually adjust my phone brightness every time I go from indoors to out.
Any apps that can auto disable auto brightness when certain apps open? Maybe Tasker?
I made a simple auto brightness toggle in Tasker when camera app opens and added an exit task. Works OK when indoors, but sometimes you want auto brightness such as if you're outside. Not sure the best way around this.

Maybe edit your task to add a wifi variable? Like if you're not connected to wifi enable the rule, ie you're outside (usually) when not on wifi. And when you are on wifi inside don't trigger the rule, leaving you to adjust manually if desired.

Nice idea! I'll try that. I'll also try a brightness variable -- like if the brightness is above a certain value already, don't disable auto brightness.

Cool let us know if it works. Are you doing this with root or not? The reason I ask is I bought tasker last year but haven't rooted my S7, not sure if you can control certain things without root.

No root (for now). Enjoying Samsung Pay too much You can control a lot of stuff with Tasker without root -- almost anything you can already control in the settings app.

So far so good. Added a condition:

Follow this Guide at Your Own Risk.
I am not responsible for bricked devices, lost data, thermonuclear war or getting fired for missed alarm or whatever happens to your device by following my instructions​
I have been a long time Lux user. But what I found, that Lux is bugged with some compatibility checking wakelock. Also, Lux uses screen overlay which is a problem. For a lot of system features in Marshamllow loaded S7edge alerts that an screen overlay has been detected and this must be disabled. Therefore, I configured Tasker (Paid software available on android market), my most favourite automation tool for android. So, where is the catch?
Process:
1. Disable Auto Brightness and Create a New Task in Tasker.
2. Select Action Category > Display > Display Brightness
3. Then Set Brightness Level value at 15 (Or whatever lowest brightness you're comfortable at)
4. Below, set if parameter as "%LIGHT < 20 (Or whatever brightness level you want for 15% of brightness)
Repeat Process 2-4 to create multiple steps for your brightness level adjustments.
Now, in Tasker profiles, you add a new profile to be triggered by "Events > Display > Display On and assign the created Task.
You can also adjust your brightness on per app basis when you want a specific app to have a set brightness level by following the same process except when creating a profile you have to select "Applications" and assign the created Task or a similar task created separately.
Update:
I have attached a Tasker configuration xml to get started with.
Please note that this guide will setup auto brightness to be adjusted on device wake. You can hook this update to any event as you want.
Tested working on SM-G935FD. Should work on any Tasker compatible android device with Light Sensor.
What's wrong with auto brightness?

+1.... I think that Android is great because of the customization option available, but sometimes people just over-customise.
There is nothing wrong with Auto-Brightness, and in case you have a problem with it, just override it using the bar on the notification panel.
Still, although I will never use it, this is a nice tutorial.

Default Auto brightness implemented in S7 edge is buggy. here on xda you can check it out.

But this is not over-customization, at least in my opinion. It means taking more control. I have been using (and many other people are) Lux to adjust the auto brightness behavior which polls sensor data at a specific period, whenever the screen is on. But if you use this guide, it will give you a auto brightness customization solution without polling light data from sensor all the time. even though the sensor will be on, it will not be active. I am not sure that it will impact on battery or not, but it gives me more control over the brightness adjustment.
cheers!

Good point. Though I don't see the issue on my device, Auto-Brightness works as I expect it to. It gets very bright on sun, and dim on dark rooms (though I would like it to go a tiny bit dimmer to be perfect). Will this Task auto adjust or you need to select the desired brightness yourself?

You can select the desired brightness level according to your comfort.

According to http://www.greenbot.com/article/303...brightness-fixes-a-major-mobile-headache.html and this: http://www.displaymate.com/Galaxy_S7_ShootOut_1.htm you can customize according to your liking .. hadn't tried it though all I need is the AOD to shine a lil bit dimmer
The drawback to this is that it only adjusts brightness based on the level when you turn the screen on. If the ambient light changes, the screen brightness won't change with it.
Hey guys,
I was hoping a few people here could do a quick test for me. On my watch (Gear S3 Frontier non-LTE), I have noticed a difference in the dimming depending on the brightness set.
Basically, if you set a brightness level of 1 OR 2, and turn always-on display ON, I have noticed that when the always-on kicks in, the watch also significantly dims itself.
As soon as you set a brightness level of 3 or higher, the always-on display kicks in but does not dim itself at all.
Can anyone else try this and let me know if you get the same results? Basically, does your always on get significantly dimmer when using the 1 or 2 brightness level, and does your always-on seem to not dim at all after switching the brightness to 3 or higher?
Thanks!
Yea that happens: https://forum.xda-developers.com/gear-s3/help/automatic-low-brightness-t3540063 . I never set my brightness to 1 or 2 tho. I always keep it at 5. So not sure about that.

I'm not talking about the auto-low brightness. This happens whether or not this setting is on, for me at least.

my suggestion is to keep brightness at 3-4-5 and then install the app "theater mode". When you're inside and don't need too much brightness just tap on the Theater Mode widget so the whole thing gets dim. When you're out tap it again, and the watch goes back to the brightness (3-4-5 depending on what you set).
I just received my mix2s last weekend, and I have been using it for several days.
But through these days, I find it that when you turned off the automatic brightness, and the phone is displaying some dark or black contents, the brightness will get lower by itself, but when you turn to some colorful or brighter contents, the btightness will get back to normal itself.
so I'm wondering is there anyone got the same problem like me? and how can I turn it off? I mean, just don't turn down the brightness itself when showing dark contents.
Just checked it on my phone and you are right, screen becomes darker when you display dark content. Also with auto brightness disabled. Maybe it has something to do with the automatic contrast settings
Edit: I was right, if you disable automatic contrast the brightness stays like you set it

can you tell me where is the "automatic contrast" settings? seems that miui just deleted it
It seems to be a problem since the last mix 2. you can try search on google and on this forum.
There are few fixes you can do, just go over the search. I didn't do it myself because I just manually adjust the brightness myself. It is pretty annoying though.

Maybe with a third party app that changes the contrast? You would need root privileges for an app like this I think...

Thank you I could not figure out what was causing this on my phone. When watching Youtube on lowest brightness at night the screen would fluctuate and it drives me crazy. Did not know that had something to do with it but now I know.
This is an old thread, but it's high on Google rankings, so I'm adding to it.
I think my main annoyance with this is the position of the sensor. If I'm typing or scrolling with my thumb, it seems I'm covering the sensor with my hand, so it thinks it's gone dark, so decreases brightness.
Disabling the auto brightness fixed it for me
(Using Resurrection Remix)
Does anyone have Tasker and can go to Tasks > (Create one or use one existing) > Custom Setting > press the magnifying glass > flip the toggle high brightness mode in settings and press the magnifying glass again?
There it should show what kind of variable has been found (global, system or secure) and what its name is.
I want to try if that works on the S21 Ultra with OneUI 4.1 aswell if I set it manually. Thanks!
Couldn't specifically find "high brightness mode", but "screen_extra_brightness" is a secure setting. Tasker says it can toggle this, but if you're not rooted it needs the extra Write Secure Settings permission added via adb
Is this what you were looking for? (I wish I knew more about Tasker)

Unfortunately not, but thank you for the effort. There is a toggle in the S22 Ultra for enabling "extra brightness" (under display settings) that will allow the screen to go brighter. Your screenshot shows a change in brightness due to manual changing or adaptive brightness changing it.
Could you check "extra brightness", toggle it while recording it with Tasker? Really appreciated if you can do this. If not, I totally understand. I hate asking such questions but I gave my S22 Ultra away and forgot to write the name down for when OneUI 4.1 is released on the S21U
Sorry for the delayed response, but hope this is what you need.

Also thanks for your time and effort! The variable you've posted was the correct one. I just wasn't sure if it isn't the right one or if it is not working on the S21U. Seems like it is the latter. But worth a try. Thanks again!
The app "High Brightness Mode" turns on that extra high brightness by setting the screen brightness to some crazy high value. I think by doing that, it enables the screen brightness to go as high as it needs to. However, the only way to get to that extra brightness is when adaptive brightness is on and it senses direct sunlight. I find that trying to do it manually won't yield any success because it's triggered off the light sensor only and that can't be manually altered unless you're rooted.
