Auto brightness bad in low light conditions - Xiaomi Poco F1 Questions & Answers

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.

Nokia Lumia 800 bug when you adjust Brightness

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.

Display Overbright?

Hi guys :]
I was wondering is there any overbright option for optimusone's display?
I'm using ICS port and the display is like 10% dimmer than when i was with Gingerbread. It's in full brightness in the options. Are there any display tweaks?
Why? I can see perfectly in the sun at 50% brightness...
.........
I like my display and i'm using it in full brghtness level. I don't see the point to have such a nice display (yes,i really like it) and use it with lower than 90% brightness. That's why i was wondering can i overbright the display.

I can't see the point of getting it so up... it takes battery and destroys the eye...
.........
Well...i still want it brighter..are there any brightness-increase tools,scripts or something like that?
take that in mind that there is one point when having a brighter display makes worst what you see.

True, color banding is worse, dust in display... etc...
There is no such thing. But 100% brightness literally burns my eyes and I can't imagine what kind of freak will increase the brightness to 200% for no reason. ICS uses darker shades of colors than Gingerbread, the appropriate display driver is missing and the color banding isn't fully fixed.
And by the way, brightness kills much more battery than overvolting the CPU, because the GPU uses way more energy (althrough it is better for calculations than the CPU).

Minimum brightness

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

Have been using Zenfone 5, Padfone 8, Zenfone 2 and Zenfone Selfie, all have high minimum brightness. Can some one confirm about minimum brightness on this phone compared to Redmi Note 3 (Kenzo)? It was pain to use Zenfone in the dark.

Can you answer about minimum brightness, because that (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 Asus ZenFone Max Pro M1's display minimum dimness. A higher rating indicates that the display can get extremely dim, ideal for reading in very dark environments.) was my problem with all asus phone in the past. Night light just about filtering blue light, not about minimum brightness. Bright yellow light still anoying in the dark, minimal brightness will do.
yup. minimum brightness is not comfortable. I use twilight to mitigate this. Hope Asus solves this in future updates.
Or may be with some custom kernels we'll be able to do that.

Already solved with latest update. Try it.
Is there any update which improves upon this? I just want it's as dim as note 5pro.
Try switching on/off adaptive brightness and then sliding the brightness to minimum. Otherwise CF.Lumen by Chainfire is a great app.

No. It's a joke tbh!! Plus on oreo google doesn't even allow screen overlays throughout. Ugh.. Piercing white light as you scroll down the quick settings at night and weird navigation bar.

Sorry. But there are ways by which you can configure with root and other tools; just in case you want stock Android and not MIUI.

Awful, isn't it? My phone's ambient light sensor doesn't seem to be working well either. Like it can't make up it's mind on how much screen brightness to give off when faced with different lighting conditions...suddenly getting bright and dimming for no apparent reason and not dynamically or smoothly but abruptly - even after the latest OTA update (and numerous attempts at adjusting brightness/auto brightness and trying out 3rd party apps).
I would have thought Asus would have at least prioritized this issue over the last OTAs instead of fooling around with additional bloatware. Hope they come up with a solution soon, because I'm getting all cross-eyed. :cyclops:

Outdoor visibility (max 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!
