As I understand the Gear Fit 2 Pro does not have brightness sensor to adjust the screen brightness. Is there any chance we might be able to set the bightness of the screen dependen on the time of day, e.g. in its simplest for to low brightness during night and high brightness during daylight?
no
Out of the box, no.
One could write an service, which would set the brightness time based. Based on a sun-rise /-set logic maybe. But i doubt it's worth the efford.

Hi,
On the N900 you can set auto brightness with an actual brightness level. This way you get the best of both worlds. You set how bright you want it and based on the ambient lighting conditions the brightness is adjusted.
So you set it to say 50%. Go outside and it will increase the brightness to maximum because its trying to keep a perceived brightness of 50%.
Set it to 25% go outside and it'd probably go up to about 50% to keep the same perceived setting.
Get it? Good. Now where's the app!?
ahh this would be killer
I love the auto bright but hate that at night its Still not dim enough (I want it ALL the way down at night
i was wondering if there was a value somewhere that i can change to lower the minimum brightness level. i dont use auto brightness. i just want to make my screen go even dimmer than currently possible. the lowest level is really not that dark. it still hurts my eyes when i look at it when i wake up in the morning. i also saw that my friends iphone's screen goes way darker than mine. thanks in advance
What am i missing regarding screen auto brightness? I keep having to manually change brightness when going from light to dark places even though i have "adapt to lighting conditions" ticked?
It feels like im wasting battery having the screen so bright at night unless i turn it down, then I have to turn it up again in the morning.. Some secret setting?

Same here, Someone said that the screen does dim but it does so slowly so you barely notice it! Hoever iam not convinced! Iam almost certain mine is not adjusting at all
For normal day light conditions i feel the auto brightness adjusts very well. Its definitely better than the s4 i had. I have the auto brightness selected and the bar at 50%. I agree for night time reading i have to manually adjust the brightness may be its not as quick to adjust in very low light conditions compared to day light
I was using CM11 on the S4 which had very good brightness control, not sure about standard. I agree during the day I don't have problems at all, and the screen is very good. It's just when I'm somewhere with low brightness and I have to turn it down, and then when I go back into day I have to turn it back up again. Pretty annoying having to change it all the time.
I will get an app to do it for me for now, but this must be some sort of bug this action couldn't be on purpose.

Go to service test and test it your self.

I find the auto brightness not very good.
Sometimes when the lighting condition does not change, it will start to increase/decrease the brightness to the level which does not suit the lighting condition.
It also have the tendency to favor lower brightness.
Thinking of trying out Lux Auto Brightness instead.

I don't know if you mean to test the sensor, but the sensor works absolutely fine (with other apps)
My auto brightness works just fine and i have mine on lowest possible setting.
Hello! Me and my wife both got this phone at the same time from the same place, but hers goes to a much lower minimum brightness than mine.
Does anyone know of a way to lower the minimum brightness?
EDIT: Okay, i did some poking around in ADB, found the "current brightness" file in /sys/class/leds/lcd_backlight0/brightness. Both phones report a brightness value of 65 when manually set to minimum brightness. The 65 sounds to me like they could go lower, is there any way to change the values used for the brightness slider? Or the automatic brightness curve.
Why not just use the screen filter app? I'm using it on every device to make screen real dark.
Skickat från min Nokia 3110i
Screen filter apps can't lower the backlight, which means they all ruin the screen contrast. They do work all right on OLED screens though since the blacks are already black.
It can be fixed with a buildprop edit, MAYBE
Here are some steps you can take to help fix your issue with the brightness.
Please restart your phone. If restarting your phone does not work, perform the following steps:
- Check if the light sensor works properly. If the light sensor is blocked, the screen brightness may become abnormal.
- By default, your phone automatically adjusts screen brightness according to the ambient brightness to bring you an optimal visual experience.
- If you need to adjust the screen brightness manually, turn off the function and manual adjust the brightness.
- If you think that the screen color temperature is too cool or warm, adjust the color temperature.
- If the screen has experienced an external shock, the internal LCD may have been damaged, resulting in abnormal screen brightness or color. Please back up important data and take the receipt issued with your phone to an authorized Huawei service center for repair.
Another option you can do is to purchase one of our third-party tempered screen protectors on Amazon. (NS)
Sure seems like this phone has so many bugs.

I understand that the P7P is supposed to have a brighter screen then my retired P6P. Yesterday, I had my P7P in the car holder on a sunny day. Even at 100% brightness with adaptive brightness turned off the screen was hard to see.
Anyone else having a problem seeing the screen when outside?
Do you have adaptive brightness on or off?
In Exkm, I see a display option for High Brightness Mode (HBM) which I will try the next time.
I understand at high brightness that power consumption is also very high.
Any thoughts on seeing the screen when outside on a sunny day?

You have to turn it on, unless its max is only at 1000 nits, not 1500 like with Adaptive Brightness.
Turn the adaptive brightness on, you can get 1500nits brightness.
But it drains the battery really fast.

Just an FYI, you won't see 1,500 nits just by turning on the adaptive brightness on. Picture a screen with a white box in the middle and a black background.
Let's say that whitebox takes up 1% of the entire screen and black takes up 99%. The screen might boost that white box to 1500 nits (at maximum brightness slider). So it looks really bright.
Now let's say you expand that box and it takes up 20% of the screen and 80% is black. The screen is going to lower the brightness maybe down to 1000 nits.. even though the slider is still at 100%.
Then let's say you expand the box all the way, takes 100% of the screen, it's all white. The screen automatically lowers the brightness down to 800 nits, even though again the slider is at 100%.
The main apps that I want to see during the day while driving are Maps and Waze. Light mode seems better than Dark mode, but it was still hard to see the maps even at 100% brightness.
I use Velis Auto Brightness from PlayStore to care my screen brightness.

Velis Auto Brightness looks interesting. Are you running it on the P7P?
Did you turn off the built in Adaptive brightness?
Can you use high brightness mode with Velis?

I would be absolutely shocked if Velis can engage "high brightness mode".
If you cannot engage "high brightness mode" by turning off auto-brightness and moving the slider bar all the way to the right, then Velis probably can't do it either.
"High brightness mode" is typically only available via stock Auto Brightness or via rooted options.
It only comes on under special circumstances and you cannot leave it at "high brightness mode" for as long as you want (without using root options).

That doesn't seem right, this screen is brighter than my pixel 6 pro at 100% and easier to read outside. HBM you mentioned doesn't seem to work with EXKM and HBM, or at least for me it doesn't, and have set all the permissions and given it root access. There is a difference but it is so tiny it might as well not be there, and my screen is 75% normal when testing.
