HI, am I the only one that needs the clock in AOD rotated?? At night is very usefull to sleep with the clock on, but I need rotate it and it seems that this feature is misssing. Come on, is not rocket science, why didn't Samsung thin of it!!!
cause the phone needs to consume as much less battery possible and using the proximity sensor will keep the phone from deep sleep besides that is a pointless feature have aod in landscape .... most users want aod when the leave the phone at a table or u take it out of pocket witch is most common to do this thing while the phone is in portrait.

I find myself turning off auto-back-light every evening as it doesn't lower the back-light as far as I'd like when its really dark. Would be nice if this could be tuned.
Bump for this question. I would also be interested in an app that can turn off the auto-back-light, because that's essentially what I do every night through the settings screen:
I have set back light to zero, which is overridden by the automatic back-light and when I go to bed, I turn off the automation, which brings the backlight down to zero (which is still too bright, compared to - for instance - the iPhone).
Anybody have a better solution?

When I use it in bed with the lights off it tends to be blinding.

for a while now my screen on the x10 goes brighter and darker while browsing , not by a lot but its noticable and kind of annoying . Im curious if anyone else has this on their phone , i got nothing installed to control brightness its just stock 2.1 os. And its not because of battery since it does it when plugged in.
It's cos of the auto brightness adjustment function. =D
If you need to access it/ turn it off you have to do it through the 'Power Control' Widget
Thanx for the replies ill check out the power control widget. Im just wondering if the random change from dim to bright waste more battery ?

There is a light sensor on the front of the phone that turns the brightness up if there is a lot of light in the room, if there isn't a lot of light in the room the brightness decreases. As mentioned above you can control this auto-brightness function from the Power Control widget.
I wouldn't say it has any noticeable effect on your battery life, unless you always are in very bright environments that would make the sensor turn the display brightness all the way up.

Should be fine. It's actually related to this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/zenwatch-2/help/ambient-screen-colour-pop-t3285526
The watch has an algorithm that prevents burn-in, and it manifests in a little blip in the screen when it goes to ambient mode.
Auto brightness... What happened? It used to just work. You know, automatically. If you adjusted the slider it would snap out of Auto mode and lock to what ever you set it at. Going back to full auto was a s simple as selecting the checkbox again in the quick settings.
I don't know if it's part of Marshmallow or TouchWiz but now the brightness slider controls the automatic-ness of the brightness. So its more like a auto "range selector" or "sensitivity selector" it seems. Its more of a semi-automatic mode.
If you set it to ~50% the brightness will adjust +/- 10% around that setting. But it doesn't seem to just automatically do 0-100% on its own anymore.
Set it near 100% and it'll practically refuse to dim in low indoor lighting.
It also seems to respond to whether or not you're holding the phone. It'll get brighter no matter what (thankfully), but it will not lower the screen brightness until you put it down on a horizontal surface... Kind of annoying if you're reading and happen to walk in to a dim room and you're being blinded by your phone until you put it down and then pick it back up. I have Smart Stay turned off so that's not it.
I definitely prefer the plain old, dumb, just works, auto-brightness that I could snap on and off if I needed. Now its...complicated. Why "fix" what isn't broken. Was it confusing some people?
I tried Lux Brightness control app but I'm not sure it's really what I'm looking for. It's too much. I just want "set it and forget it" Automatic (0-100%) brightness like it used to be.
It's a feature. The brightness slider will now bias the automatic setting toward higher or lower brightness while still maintaining the automatic adjustment functionality. Turn off the automatic setting check-box to accomplish full manual control.
What ever happened to just plain Automatic? I don't want to have to mess with a slider. It adjusted the brightness fine before. I find that now it's either too bright or too dim for many situations and I'm constantly messing with the slider. Whereas before, auto was just auto.
Same problem here... It is very annoying

Interestingly, with my old s3 and now my current s6, when looking at battery usage, the screen was always about 15% and usually the second item in the list of things that use the most battery power. It was what I always loved about amoled. Now, screen is number one and comes in at ~50% after the marshmallow update. I wonder if it's because it's always so bright now? Or perhaps they've changed how battery usage is measured. Not much I can do about it. Just an a interesting observation.
Is it somehow possible to disable auto brightness for the always on display (without root preferably)?
I'm kinda worried about OLED burn-ins in the long run and when my phone lies on my desk below/near my desk lamp, the AoD brightness turns way up.
I'd like to keep it on very low levels permanently though.
Is there anything I can do with adb or am I just blind and missing a hidden setting somewhere?
Thanks in advance!
