Gboard adjust brightness? And is it possible to tone down key brightness - Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi
Can anyone eloborate on what adjust brightness on Gboard does? I'm using a complete black background and there is an option with a slider to adjust brightness, but it doesn't seem to do anything.
And is there a way to lower the brightness of the keys?
Thanks.

Lock brightness levels?

I noticed everytime I swipe to check my notifications my brightness levels change forcing me to set them again. I don't like the auto brightness optiom so I wanted to know if there was an app that would lock the brightness levels
Not that I know of. There are widgets that let you toggle brightness options, but don't lock them there.
It sounds like your solution is to stop sliding your finger from left to right on the notification bar. That's what's changing your brightness. Just pull it straight down when you need it.
I may be misunderstanding the issue, but it sounds like the power saving setting under settings> sound and display. The option is at the bottom by tv out. Alternatively turn off auto brightness (assuming you haven't already.)
Edit: there's also a brightness setting in the browser (menu> more> brightness setting)

It seems that TouchWiz has a brightness toggle built into the notification bar. If you just barely pull down, then slide sideways, you change the brightness. Just pull down faster and/or straighter to avoid it.

[Q] Two auto brightness settings?

Hi, I have an I9100G, with rooted stock ROM, firmware DZKI1, Android 2.3.5. I'm just curious about a couple of items in the Display settings. There's an option called Brightness - Adjust the brightness of the screen, and when we click it, we can adjust the brightness or select the checkbox for Automatic brightness. On the same screen, a bit further down, there's another setting for Auto adjust screen power - Save power by analyzing image and adjusting LCD brightness. Anybody knows what's the difference between the two?
One uses an external light sensor to adjust for lighting conditions.
the other uses an internal sensor to adjust the colour display depending on the background of the graphic and how many colours are used.

On webos, you have the lowest brightness, then the autodim brightness, which is lower than the lowest brightness you can adjust via a patch

well, to reply to myself, i found an app called rootdim that can force lower brightness to hp touchpad patched to run on dim brightness
Awesome! The lowest brightness on cm9 is a bit too bright for dark situations, so this app will hopefully work wonders.

[Q] Auto-brightness vs Lowest brightness

Hi! My question is: Is there a BIG difference between leaving lowest brightness setting and auto-brightness? If so, how much? (Hours, battery usage, etc)
Thanks! I hope this thread will be informative for everyone..
Auto-brightness consumes more battery because it is constantly changing brightness, if you want the best battery power just use the lowest brightness
as aaitken said auto brightness consumes more battery . its better to use low brightness and use a brightness control widget from market and change the brightness manually when required

If you have a stock firmware, or a stock based ROM, you can adjust brightness anywhere you can access the notification bar. This is built into TouchWiz. Just hold your finger on the notification bar until you see the pull-down shade, and slide your finger left or right to adjust brightness.
I leave my brightness on lowest and adjust as necessary with this, i.e. when I'm in a bright setting, and need to turn my brightness up.
Also there is brightness options in AOKP with the toggles and in CM9 (and most other AOSP roms) as a power save widget bala_gamer's option's also a good way
Thank you very much for your helpful answers..

[Feature request] Brightness control

It's possible to add the possibility to modify the brightness value? I'd like to customize not only the auto brightness, but also the minimum and maximum values​​! Like in the GravityBox (Xposed Framework). :fingers-crossed:
any hope?
In my opinion this is essential feature. Default android brightness is way to bright. It hurt eyes at evening.
