Hi , i found a bug on Nokia Lumia 800 BrightnessSetuo.
If you diseablle Automatic Brightness, and put it manual on medium or high, the three touch Buttons dont have light, only when Brigthnes is on Automatic or on Low (manaal) wrok.
I hope nokia fix these bug soon.

This is not a bug this is a fix given by nokia to increase battery performance.
I also thought it was a bug but checked the nokia forums and in the change log of the latest update it is mentioned that the bottol capacitive button keys only light up if you have ur brightness set to low or auto
My believe is that is is by design. If you're in a place dim enough to struggle to see the capacitive keys, you'll not be using med or high brightness as it will blind you.
Likewise, when you're outside and needing a higher brightness, the ambient light will easily be enough to see the capacitive keys.
I almost always have brightness on low so this change doesn't really affect me. Medium brightness hurts my eyes in darker environment. The only time I crank it up to medium is when I'm outside. Sometimes I'm even on low outside if it's not too light. I never think I will use the highest brightness setting.

blah blah blah....sorry, but you are not representative for 99% of all users. Nice for YOU that YOU prefer low brightness. But most of us users like at least medium brightness in darker areas because the AMOLED contrast and colours are bad and washed out when in low brightness mode. I want to decide myself if i have the button lights on/off with medium or bright display settings.
Finally this "update" is a reason for me not to buy the lumia 800...shame on nokia!

Neither are you.
Did I say you have to use what I use? No. I simply stated my personal preference. No need to jump all over me. Calm down.
Have you guys tried Auto brightness?
It goes all the way to minimum brightness if you use the phone in the dark.
The bottom buttons are lit up too.
I tried out the auto brightness for the first time today. Seems to work well. It places itself in between low/mid brightness in an ordinary lit room which is fine for me. And as you say the bottom buttons are always lit even if the brightness goes up to full strenght.
Think I'm gonna use auto brightness a bit more and see if it behaves good at all times.

I was just standing outiside and noticed that I couldn't read the screen of my new Galaxy S2 which I never noticed on my Nexus S. So I compared the two in direct sunlight.
Isn't the sAMOLED+ supposed to be brighter than the original sAMOLED screen?
Is my screen less bright than other sAMOLED+ screens?
My Galaxy S 2 is definatly brighter in sunlight than my Nexus S.
although i have turned off my auto brightness and whacked it right up on both..
At brightness zero the nexus s is brighter than the galaxy s 2.
I noticed that in bright sunlight, I can't see the screen at all on my SGSG2 with it set to zero, which causes a bit of a problem upping the brightness! On the Nexus, I could see well enough to change it.
I think at full brightness though, the SGS2 is brighter. My retinas haven't recovered from accidentally setting 100% whilst reading at night.
I've been wondering whether there is a way to boost the brightness, I was going to make a topic about it.
Some reviews I've seen say they had to turn the screen down to lowest brightness as the screen is so bright, etc. however my screen is nothing special in terms of brightness really and I have it on full, with auto adjust off colours are good though.

yes, I did that. the pictures are taken with both screens on 100%
I guess my screen is just not as bright as others :/
Also, under Settings -> Display, make sure that "Auto Adjust Screen power" is disabled... this option tries to save some battery by lowering the brightness when the image displayed is brighter : It can be useful in movies but it's just useless and annoying when you're browsing or reading.
PS : And SuperAMOLED+ is not supposed to be brighter than sAMOLED, it's the same without the pentile matrix. When samsung announced an improvement in battery life and brightness they were still comparing it to LCD screens from a few years ago.
thanks bluescreenjunkie, that setting actually helped (a bit).
and yes, your probably right about samsungs claims as well, I probably subconsciously interpreted samsungs claims the best way possible ... (so I had a reason to go buy it).
thanks for your input.
well it is possible to increase the brightness but it takes some development, like supercurrio did for the 2.3.3 kernel for the nexus s and cm7 sgs1 kernel with the voodoo app.
Dont know if hes gonna do the same for the sgs2, i really like it on my sgs1 for sure.
he increased the brightness? well that explaines it then (as it's running a voodoo kernel) .
Iam not sure if any of the one x+ owners out there have experienced this problem. When watching a video, for example using the YouTube app, depending of the type of scene being shown, whether it be an indoor or an outdoor scene, the phone has this gradual change of the the screen brightness level. Now mind you, the display brightness is set to about 15 to 20% and auto brightness is off. Its noticeable as the phone seems to take a second or two to adjust to the new environment within the video.
The dimming issue is also noticeable using the browser, especially when viewing a very dark image and then switch over to a bright one. The phone dims a little when you display the dark image and as you transition to the brighter image it will slowly brighten a little.
This problem can become distracting especially when watching videos that have a lot of transitions between light and dark scenes.
Its less noticeable at brightness levels above 60 to 70%, but i find using the phone at such high brightness level at night irritating to the eyes.
Its annoying since the screen doesn't stay on one consistent brightness level. all the phones i have used before, S3, EVO 3D, S2, NOTE don't show this problem. it doesn't matter what scene is being displayed on the phone, they all maintained constant brightness levels
I would be interested to know if its just my phone that does this or its common issue
So many views but not even one reply...surely i cannot be the only one who noticed this
You don't want to give your significant other yet another reason to yell at you while you're reading XDA in bed. Rate this thread to express what you think of the LG G6's display minimum dimness. A higher rating indicates that the display can get extremely dim, ideal for reading in very dark environments.
Then, drop a comment if you have anything to add!
It could be a tad darker, but if you use the "Comfort view" setting in notification menu, you can turn down blue light which works just as well. This setting is highly customizable.
To me, this is the weak point of the screen. It will get acceptably dim, though, if you activate both battery saver and comfort view, but who wants to go through those steps each time you want to read at night? I've just been using one of the night shift apps to dim the screen during night hours.
Anyone notice the auto brightness toggle not sticking? AT&T model.

Thanks for the tip, this combo does make the screen acceptably dark enough.
Has anyone had any luck with automating lg's settings? I have not been successful with Tasker and would really like to schedule this based on time and ambient light sensor.

I personally didn't think the yellow tint that Comfort View offers helped me. Instead, I used System UI tuner (This app: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.zacharee1.systemuituner&hl=en) to enable the stock android night mode. If you want to try it, it essentially works the same but the tint is more red-ish and is more tolerable in my opinion. However, the intensity of the tint can't be adjusted.
Anyways, I do agree with you that the display should get a bit darker.
Coming from a GS4, the minimum brightness is amazing, especially if you use it combined with the battery saver option, it never seemed too bright, whilst on my S4, i often used the screen filter app to lower minimum brightness
Rate this thread to express how well you can see the Xiaomi Mi A2's display outdoors. In case you've been playing Minecraft for 18 months straight, you might not known how to get outside anymore. Well, find the door and walk through it. A higher rating indicates that it has very high maximum brightness and thus fantastic outdoor visibility in direct sunlight.
Then, drop a comment if you have anything to add!
Apart from what I saw in video reviews the odor visibility is surprisingly good. I live where we have sun most of the day and temperatures are high (30c+) and I still can operate the phone even in direct sun light.
Is it really that bad outdoors as people say?

Not at all..
Trust me contrast ratio makes up for it and is not half bad.
I can totally see it in bright days with the Sun shining to it's glory.
In oreo with 25% of display brightness it was brighter than pie

Yeah Pie the brightness is very dim compared to Oreo
After the Pie update the Brightness its not bright anymore
Same here. To get the 30% brightness I had on Oreo, I have to go for 70% brightness on Pie. It feels awful
Adaptive brightness
I expected with the release of pie the auto brightness to be fixed . It is better than before but man not useful at all. Mostly keeps dimming the screen and makes it difficult to see. Also when i use slider and increase it, dims again after few seconds. What is the use of adaptive brightness then if it can`t understand my needs.

If you have polarised sun glasses and you want to use navigation with your phone... it is not possible. You cannot see the phone display with polarised sunglases!
Auto brightness in stock miui is too bad in low light conditions. Will installing custom kernel help to solve this issue or not?
If so, can you suggest me the suitable kernel?
Define too bad... Too bright or too dimmed?

dimmed. because of that you need to adjust the default degree of auto brightness in low light conditions manually.
Dimmed comparingly to what? To your ex phone? When I bought Pocophone it is considerably more dimmed than my ex p8 lite but in fact I think this is much more healthfull for the eye and I am pretty sure it is designed that way o purpose, so this doesn't make it bad... Probably our/yours perceptions are bad. Be generous to your eyes.
