Anybody else notice that the adaptive display toggle seems to be backwards? On my phone, it enables if I slide it to the left, and disables to the right. Not sure if this is intended.

You might be adjusting the brightness with your ear by mistake while taking a call with the taskbar/froyo brightness feature.
good day.

Froyo includes a feature within the task bar to adjust brightness. Tap and hold the task bar and slide finger left to right and the brightness will adjust. So if you mash the phone against your ear before the proximity sensor turns the screen off you might be adjusting the brightness at that point.
**I should also add that the task bar/brightness feature is only enabled when auto brightness is disabled in display settings.
good day.
Wow I just noticed this is the culprit of my brightness problem. Wonder if there is a way to disable it? (Without enabling auto brightness)
Yeah the first couple of seconds of a call I just keep it a further angle till the proximity takes over. But I dislike auto brightness so, oh well.
good day.
Just got the N4 last week. Loving it so far, but my battery life has been pretty terrible. Trying to find ways to optimize it so it lasts longer (any suggestions welcome!).
I installed the Notification Toggle app, and set one of the toggles to be a brightness toggle. When I use it and set the brightness to, let's say, 10%, the brightness dims down UNTILL i exit the notification toggle/notification shade. The second I go back to another app or the home screen, the brightness goes back up! It usually goes up to 50%, but it looks like 100%. It's so bright!
So, does anyone have any idea why this is happening? Is there something overriding my brightness settings? I know it'll be hard to troubleshoot without knowing what apps/tweaks are installed on my phone, but any idea what could be happening or where I should look?
Thanks!!
Edit: Nevermind! figured it out! I was using a plugin called Notification Toggle, which had 3 options for brightness toggle. I tried lowering/changing the brightness through the display settings, and it stuck, so the problem had to be with the Notification Toggle plugin. I changed the brightness toggle option to a different one, and it worked. So it seems the issue was with the toggle called 'Brightness Menu'.
I have set my S4 up so that it runs at 100% display illumination when charging. No autobrightness.
What is bothering me know is that the screen dims to about 50% very quickly after I stop touching the display and jumps up to 100% while I touch it.
Toggling smart stay doesn't change anything. Smart stay on doesn't help even when I look at the display (though it should just prevent it from going off .. not from dimming if I understand correctly.
I would like to display to stay at 100% when charging .. or at least set dimming to "after 15 secs" or so.
What needs to be done?

I was reading about that and i found something about the chipset SnapDragon has an inside feature to adjust the screen brightness independently of the software (firmware on this case). Maybe you are watching that effect..

There is a small tool that fixes it: "Caffeine" .. obviously
Intelliscreen also does the trick .. and there is a timeout you can set (not sure if it messes up the timeout for regular use when not charging though).

Is not the solution because caffeine prevents from time up screen brightness but it doesn't prevent from cpu feature. Even if the screen is always wake up and the autobrightness is off, the brightness will be changed because the chipset.

Could this be related to heat? With the screen on and charging + what ever other task you have the S4 doing it may be the S600 is governing the screen to reduce heat... just a theory like.
I'm having the same problem too.
If i unlock the phone the screens dims to about minimum brightness.
I can touch the brightness bar to make it brighter and it stays that way for as long as i don't lock the phone
If i lock the phone and unlock it again the screen dims again?
Tried all different settings bur nothing helps...
Very annoying....
Yesterday i bought and installed lightflow to control my led indicator.
Just a minute ago i removed the app and voila! No more screen dimming!
Damn, really love that app but rather no led control than having my screen dimmed to the lowest possible brightness.
I had turned on the always on display shortly after setting up my new G6, and then a few days later I turned it off. However the setting keeps turning itself back on, usually overnight. I had turned it off yesterday, but woke up this morning to the display being on, and the setting set to on.
Starting to think I have a gremlin messing with me.
Go into your AOD settings and verify you didn't accidentally set up something the revolves around the time for your AOD to come on. See attached screenshot
Good call. I checked the "Daily timeout" and it was setup.
Turned it off and we will see if that stops it from turning back on in the morning.
I love the AOD. I was using the digital clock, but then changed to the analog clock. I like watching the red second hand. I also use the screen saver when wireless charging, although I feel more thought could have been put into it. The screensaver seems half baked to me, but it works.

How goes battery drain with this turned on?
I don't notice anything adverse.

I don't wanna start a new thread. But can you in any way customize the AOD? I don't need the battery icon shown there as it distracts a little from notifications. Any way to turn notifications and icons on/off?
And did you guys notice any serious battery drain when turning AOD bright instead of normal mode?
Whats the brightness selection, is it the overall brightness of the AOD? I think from default it's reasonable
I would like to tell you that it often happens when I pull the S10+ out of my pocket, so the display is not in "stand by" mode, it is not always on display, but it is slightly backlit. Classically, the display is black and shines only AOD. But when I pull it out of my pocket, instead of the classic AOD it shines for hours and even seconds and after them you can see the wallpaper of the locked display and it is slightly backlit. The display itself is dark, but it is slightly backlit and you can see the wallpaper. With the classic AOD, the display is completely black and I have set only hours, minutes, date and battery, and of course, the notification, if any. Does anyone know what it is, whether it can be turned off so that the display does not illuminate the pocket?
I have accidental touch protection on.
As far as I know proximity sensor is only accessible when you are in call, that's why other apps can't access it.
Samsung should remedy this. Because I always change the Always On setting in my pocket. Specifically - Rotation and Brightness Always On.
EDIT: It happens most when I tap wake-up.
