The auto brightness setting on this phone is not ideal inside and it's a nightmare outside. Basically, it has left me blind a couple of times by turning the brightness way off to the point where I can't even find the brightness setting. I'm new to LG so I don't know but is there a way of customizing or graduating the auto brightness setting?

Go to your settings app, click on the Display tab, and scroll until you find the brightness slider

That's just changing brightness and that setting is available in the notification bar too (like auto brightness is). I want to graduate/customize the auto brightness setting to (hopefully) eliminate those wild swings.
I know GravityBox, an Xposed framework module (which sadly doesn't work with Pie but you can use GravityBox with EdXposed) offers to change/set minimum brightness so you can set it higher and so the changes made by auto brightness are not that extreme. I wanted to do that but was too much work and gave up.

Yeah, I forgot about that. I might try it out in the future but since I downgraded to Oreo I don't find it as necessary anymore since auto brightness behaves more reasonably. The Oreo firmware is more stable than the Pie firmware in many respects. I started out with the Pie firmware so I didn't expect that.

On V30 last Oreo is also more stable than Pie.

Okay, I don't know if this is the right place.. Or if it is currently even possible. (I know root isn't done or even close).. I figured development and this would be app development so it sorta works in this area.. But here's a little request for someone whose good with code and making apps:
But I want wondering if someone could create a custom auto brightness app that lets you set the max and min for the the auto brightness on the Incredible. I like the auto feature on the Incredible, but it gets way too high and drains the battery too quickly so I have to turn it off ..
So I would like to have an app that lets you set like EX: 5% as the minimum brightness and 40% as the maximum. Make it so you have have ajustable bars to move back and forth to pick your percentage or something along the lines of that. I think if someone managed to work some code and create this app it'd be heavily downloaded. So I was wondering if someone could make an app like this eventually in the future? Thanks again guys
Yeah, this would be cool. I am no developer, and there isn't anything in the market for this type if thing either, so i would assume it is really hard to do.
All you want it to do is be able to set the brightness? Just as a shortcut in a sense?
Dazzle is a pretty good alternative for the time being. hopefully someone can come up with something with something that does it automatically too.

(Sorry I'm Incredible53517 but I accidently had two accounts so we closed that one and now I'm just using my old one).
Okay, I want auto brightness but I want to choose how bright the phone gets bright and dim. I want to be able to set the max and min is what I'm saying and then have it automatically change by my surroundings...like the stock auto brightness does. I just think it'd be a nice features to have.. That's all. It'd save battery too.
This seemed like a good idea so I looked through the source code for Eclair and there doesn't seem to be any way to do this. All you can do is toggle auto brightness on or off and adjust the brightness when auto brightness is set to off. There is now way to cap the minimum and maximum brightness in the auto mode. Perhaps this is required by the hardware.
Sure, but couldn't you write a program to automatically adjust the brightness (with auto turned off within the OS settings) and set your own caps?
I'm not an Android developer, but this seems like it might be possible.

I am only a noob dev myself, and I'm only seeing a way to set the brightness, not sense how bright it is (read from light sensor).

Okay, that's fine. I figured it would be hard since no one has really made it yet. But thanks for trying! I appreciate it!
if you use the android widget for... "power Control" it has all your stuff you like to turn on and off... wifi/BT/GPS/Sync/Brightness... if you tap brightness it goes from auto> full brightness> lowest brightness> back to auto... I didn't know this until I just started using the widget
the widget is included with the phone its not a download
Anyone know if there is a way to adjust the automatic brightness function - i.e. have it still be automatic, but be a little bright or darker for a given ambient light?
would really like to keep using it, but want my overall brightness turned down. using manual brightness with widget for now, but don't see why automatic brightness could not be tweaked. tried searching for an app to do this, but have not come up with anything. nothing came up in a google search of xda either. anyone got anything?
I want to know as well, I wouldn't mind setting the auto brightness to be more fine tuned as well, smaller changes.
Yes a better working app is needed. something like My Light or Lumos for winmo
Hi all,
I found that the default auto brightness setting always render the screen darker than my favourite. For certain I want to keep the adaptive approach (i.e. the screen brightness will change according to my physical enviornment), however I would like to fine tune it such that it will always return a +1 / +2 brightness on top of the default return. Do anyone know any apps / tricks can I do so?
p.s. I know I can place an widget to manual adjust the brightness, but I am now looking for a way to fine tune the automated value.
Thanks all!

Did you ever solve this. Posted numerous times about a similar issue but never really found a proper solution.
You can use Tasker. Set up profiles for depending how much the light sensor sees, you can have the brightness exactly how you want. Note: You need to disable auto brightness for this to work.
Two things regarding brightness I've found in 2.1 and wanting to know if I'm just missing something or what:
No more automatic brightness setting
The maximum brightness setting is about 2x as bright as the maximum setting on 1.6

There is auto brightness. it is done through a widget called power control which lets you control wifi gps etc..on the most right is ascreen brightness selector. 3 options. min auto and max brightness

Download Spareparts from market and choose auto brightness there

Yes there is, through the widget with the wifi, gps and the other stuff.
Furthest to the right is a brightness icon that you can press to get auto brightness.

The middle setting is auto. In fact, Kindle even says 'To enable display brightness, turn off the automatic brightness adjustment in display settings.'
Mine does not ask a thing. Doesn't seem as auto option but a medium setting instead.

I have to say i miss that feature too. A lot. The middle setting is not auto. I downloaded Spareparts and enabled auto brightness but it does not seem to work. Not like 1.6 did anyway.

Jep, same her... ATM I toggle between 1%, 50% and 100% with extended controls...

Hmm...did you actually put it infront of sunlight and check if the brightness automatically changes?
Alright everyone I was wary about the absence of the auto-brightness as well but I just did a test and I can confirm that the middle setting in the brightness setting on the power control widget is for auto-brightness. You can test this too by shining a bright light at the sensor, the screen brightness should INCREASE. Obviously a few of you mistook it for MEDIUM brightness which is understandable as the auto-brightness is between the minimum and maximum brightness under most circumstances, does that make sense?
Testet it with the Widget.
Seems to work. But in my opinion it worked better in 1.6.
Ah, good! Auto brightness is a critical feature IMHO.

Really? I've set the brightness in 2.1 to 100% which is as bright as 1.6 on 50%.

I second that. Much better in 1.6. Here it does not even change. You barely notice it when going from inside to outside etc... I also tried on the Desire of a friend, and same thing. So 1.6 must have been better at that I guess.
Somebody can tell me how to disable the feature of automatic brightness, leaving it at the value I want, independently by the light? sorry if it has already been asked, but with the search function in the threads I can't answer it myself.
Hope somebody will help, because now my battery is drained too fast =(

I use the Brightness Profiles app. It seems to hold the settings after reboots.
Looked on google for this and found other people asking about it but no answer so far.
If i leave the screen brightness set to auto-adjust, the phone NEVER adjust the screen brightness down to it's lowest setting, even if i am sitting in a pitch dark room. Is there some way to adjust the range of the brightness setting so that it will actually use the lowest brightness? It seems beyond stupid that in a pitch dark room the screen doesn't go down to it's lowest level.
Most of the time i find the screen to be too bright, so if i could adjust the auto-brightness over-all to be darker, that would be cool too.
failing that, is there an app that makes adjusting the brightness quicker then digging down into the settings to move the slider?
thanks
I use widgetsoid (free) from the market place to do what you speak of and 7 other things as well.
i think i already have something that does what it looks like widgetsoid does. I have a button on the screen that i can tap that switches the screen between 3 brightness settings. i was just wondering if there was one where you could tap and get a slider. Seems silly to have the actual slider itself on the screen since that would take up so much room. But a button that would open up into a slider would be nice.
I'd still prefer to be able to adjust the autobrightness settings and use that if possible.
You can set autobrightness levels with tasker. There's a thread floating around with details.

Again, Widgetsoid does this. Once it is setup, modify, settings/Brightness Modes and set it Custom (Seekbar) or use one of the other 2 settings. You can change those as well with custom. Exit. Go to toggle and you have slider with one click on one button, which option of adding 7 more.

ah ok, cool, thanks. I'm going to see if i can find the thread about tasker since i'd prefer to have auto-brightness working better. if that fails then i'll give widgetsoid a try.
thank you
Just what I was looking for Screen brightness less then 10% and Less then Curvefish's toggle to 4%. I was looking for the 1% brighness and I think i got with the Widgetsoid only compaint is no exit after setting... Thanks
