In a completely dark room, this phones screen get way too dim for my liking as it will automatically drop all the way to 0% brightness.
I don't want to disable automatic brightness as it's a pain manually adjusting the level in pretty much every other environment.
I do want to be able to set the phone to never drop below ~10% even when I'm in a totally dark room though. I know I use to be able to do this with an older android phone but it may have been my Samsung Galaxy S4 from many years back.
Is there any way to set a minimum level for the brightness on the V30? The only area in the settings I can find doesn't have an option to do it.

You have to use an app to do that. There's an app called Lux available in Google Play which lets you control auto brightness better than LG software does. Lux Lite is the free version, and Lux is the paid version. A lot of people have recommended it.
You can set it to be brighter than LG allows, for instance.
Wow i want the same brigtness managment for my V30+ because in auto he won't go under 15% in a dark room and it's better for my eyes when i set it at 10% (No oreo here).

All of sudden the contrast on my screen increased to ridiculous amount. I'm getting color banding, even the sign on power on screen is not sharp but has some extra grayish squares around the white letters.
Everything was fine, and after one charging cycle the phone lit up to inform me charging was done and the contrast (and brightness) was all the way up with no way of changing it back.
The 'Auto adjust screen power' option doesn't do anything for me now. Was on stock 2.3.4 KG2 when this happened
I've tried restart, removing battery, factory reset, even reflash (back to 2.3.3 stock, and now I'm on 2.3.4 KG 3stock), nothing works.
Here is screenshot from phone

And here is photo of the same screen (photo quality is horrible, but it should give you idea)
Is there any way how to fix this or do I need to RMA my phone
Where is photo?
Make sure that you are not placing it under some light source which is causing the Auto Brightness to take effect, and also can't you decrease brightness from settings?

The colors and brightness are way off even on manual brightness settings. When I purchased the set and set minimum brightness it was almost unreadable on direct sunlight. Now even with lowest brightness the display is readable without any issues on direct sunlight.
Goto display and set the screen mode to Normal instead of Dynamic.

Don't have Normal there, only Standard, and it was already set on Standard.
Edit: It's not clearly visible on the photo, but the upper part (that's supposed to be full black) is covered with green dots on the display.
I've just experienced this last night, I was comparing the image I saw on my monitor to the SAMOLED and I noticed that the hair color was a very strong orange/red on my phone and its chestnut brown on the screen.. I checked the color mode and its standard.. I was playing around with the phone including rebooting it and it seemed to have gone away.
This was on XXKG6.
h4rr0d, this really looks like a hardware fault to me. Sorry to say, but I advice you to contact Samsung assistance.
Thanks for the replies guys, I've already RMA'd the cell, waiting for the service to respond now.
EDIT: Ok, so I've got the phone back today, the RMA report states they have 'exchanged an electric component', so no clue what it was. But I'm happy I've got my phone back fixed and they actually fixed it without any issues.
Often at night when I use phone lowest brightness is still bright so I found apps which can dim it further but then they loose screen contrast too making it difficult to read.
Is there any app which can make night mode of selected apps (browser/gtalk/gmail/other few user selectable apps) background dark & font light / white similar to youtube app?
UC browser had this night mode earlier but latest version they have removed this feature. Ideally such app should be time sensitive & as the night time approaches it should start applying the night mode.
This is what I am looking to achieve

or
like this in reverse it would save battery specially in night.

The closet App I can think of is CF.Lumen:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1336643
It automatically changes the screen intensity/Colours according to the time of day. Brilliant app, and had actually improved my Sleep cycle.
Note : It's a addon for Chainfire 3D pro:
http://market.android.com/details?id=eu.chainfire.cf3d.pro
But the Free version has Render effects also, which also may help:

Regards and good luck.
I looked at CF.Lumens but that does different colors in night mode not what I am looking for but thanks for finding it for me.
I wish some developers can work on this concept.
What about Lux Auto Brightness?

Same problem actually all apps adjust brightness "only" they don't adjust contrast which at low brightness is required to maintain good readability. I wish some one makes this app it should be simple to do so just by altering the color value as per user time table.
Me to .
My need is for an app or a MOD that wpuld provide me woth a button thatwould allow me tochangethecolors and cntrast and brightness of all the phone.
I will use it while using the phone in the bed.
Similar to what read view with night mode in dolphin browser.
I don't know those kind of apps but when I want to use my phone at night, I use an app called "Screen Filter".
I also use screen filter but it cannot function at low brightness of 20-30% the screen looses its contrast. The only solution to this problem is night mode which many gps app have it they reverse the diplay and increse visual contrast which helps alot in saving battery too. I hope some developer can work on this idea and make an app.
Bumping it up again after 6 months hoping some one knows any such app?
Hi all
Quick question should the lo-fi mode on the pace go back to normal when you raise your wrist?
Mine used to when you raised the wrist it would go back to full res but after wiping the watch it no longer does until the screen is unlocked, what's correct?

You should activate it in options/general menu again.

Hi sorry that's not what I mean, before when I raised my wrist the resolution of the watch face would increase but keep the light off, should the resolution increase when I raise my wrist I don't want the light coming on.

Then, could it be about auto light switch on/off option?
It's always set to 1, not sure if you can see in the image this was before it stopped doing it but you can see that watch face res has changed just from flicking my wrist up, it's no longer doing it.
It's working again after a full charge, I think it's where the battery was getting low
I have a Stratos and it change to high res when flicking the wrist mainly on the Amazfit original faces. On my 3rd faces the res stay low when flicking the wrist.

Oh, now I see... The backlight doesn't work when charge is below %10.
I have this S23 Ultra for 3 weeks ish now and it was amazing on battery with YouTube ReVanced often getting 8-10h screen on with YouTube easily with 30+% left. Suddenly today it got pretty hot and battery drains like crazy in YouTube ReVanced.
I repatched the newest supported version, clean installed it, updated to latest microg, full shutdown and cold boot of the phone, cleared caches, nothing helps. Both on wifi and 5G the drain is this high.
Auto brightness was my second suspect and I checked the slider in the notification panel and it behaves normally. It responds to changes in ambient light as normal during YouTube and isn't overly high.
Anyone have any ideas what can cause it?
Check the screenshots (in Dutch unfortunately) for the difference in screen on and YouTube usage times.
8h+ sot and like 40% left so good:

Today, bad. Only 5+h screen on and way less YouTube and battery is basically empty.
update it, the icon even changed since then. You're on a old revision.
A big factor is what your screen brightness was when watching videos. If you watch videos in low brightness (like during nighttime), then there will be a big difference to battery life compared to watching videos in high brightness.
No problems here

Icon is manually set with Goodlocks theme engine from UX LED icon pack
But, i'm an xxxxx. I figured it out. It wasn't YouTube at all...
I got a new driver's license yesterday which I keep between my back case and the phone. This new one has NFC... It was just scanning NFC all day long with the phone unlocked... This apparently doesn't show up anywhere in battery stats.
Obviously I have NFC basically always on for Google Pay and such so yeah.
I can't keep my license in there anymore as there seems to be no real way to keep NFC on for pay but not read stuff constantly.
I'll figure something out. But problem solved.
Is there a way to enable Peak (1750 nits) brightness constantly?
Or at least get higher brightness level in manual brightness mode?

There is HBM (extended brightness) but you can't get PEAK brightness constantly over the whole surface of the panel. Peak brightness is measured only partially in some areas of the panel.
You can enable extra brightness from settings but i fu wanna have 1750 nits it only enable auto when youre in under sun. If u have root u can download HBM app to enable 1750 at all times.

Completely incorrect. HBM is not 1750 and neither under the sun you get 1750Nits.
Extended brightness in manual mode is 750~ Nits.
Under the sun in AUTO-Brightness it peaks at about 1100~ Nits.
The peak brightness of 1750 Nits is achieved only in 1% of the area, and 1500~ NIts at about 20% of the area, mostly in HDR content.
the easiest thing you can do is go to settings>display and turn off adaptive brightness, after that there is an option available called extra brightness, enable that and i think you can then enable the full brightness of the display
