Brightness Offset - AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5

I bought two GS5 at the same time. One of the phones has the offset adjuster when you turn on auto brightness. The other doesn't. They are both on the same carrier and both have the same numbers in the about section.
It has an offset from -5 to +5 when auto brightness is checked.
Why would it be missing from one phone? I don't even think it works on the that it is showing up on but still want to know why they would be different.

This option only appeared for me after root.

The phone that has it is rooted actually. That would make sense. However, the adjuster doesn't seem to do anything. I would like it to be a little brighter overall on auto brightness.

It appears after you root the phone and install wanam xposed framework. You can change that +5 -5 offsetter in Wanam xposed.

How do you do so? I haven't seen any settings to change it. Much appreciated.

Manual Brightness Control Stuck

This is an odd problem for me. I really love the Lux Auto-Brightness app and use it all the time but I've been having this issue that's now preventing Lux from doing it's job. Third-party app control of Screen Brightness doesn't work. If I go into the Android settings and change the brightness from there it works fine but every single Third-party app I try can't control my brightness. I can't even control the Screen Brightness from within MXPlayer anymore and that was working fine as well. I've thought maybe something is wrong with Lux but uninstalling and rebooting didn't fix anything. Does anybody have any ideas what's causing this?

I'm running rooted Stock 4.1.2 with only mod being the change of dpi to 160. I've made no other mods.

Stupid question but did you try changing the dpi back to the original setting? If so and it didn't change anything I would just do a dirty flash of stock rom. Changing dpi can screw up a lot of things.

Changing the dpi didn't help. Doing a dirty flash is an idea but I'd prefer trying something less extreme before doing that. It'd be a pain to re-setup root and things just to get brightness control fixed. At that point I'd probably just move on to a Custom ROM.

Screen randomly getting dim

I have auto brightness off, auto adjust screen tone off and brightness set to max. My screen randomly dims and then gets bright again...anyone know what's causing this?
sEnt from thE noTe 3
Hmm is it this adapt display option maybe?
sEnt from thE noTe 3
Same here then I went into my settings to check the brightness (settings, display, brightness) and it said brightness decreased to prevent over heating or something like that ..check it next time you notice it dimming and see if it's the same thing ..pretty annoying
Sent from my SM-N900T using xda app-developers app
power saver uses the dimming option for low consumption of battery and make sure auto adjust is off in display settings

Power saving isn't on. Adapt display didn't fix it either

I have everything turned off also ..I checked in my settings every time my screen dimmed and every time the same message ..it was driving me nuts for days (still is)
Sent from my SM-N900T using xda app-developers app
I've had this happened to me also.
It seems to be more frequent when I'm using Chrome ( not stock browser ). It suddenly gets dim and then may or may not eventually brighten up again, it's pretty random
Also happens when I'm on the launcher but not as frequent
- Automatic Brightness / Off
- Screen Mode / Professional Photo
- Power saving mode / Off
- Auto adjust screen tone / Off
Is there something else I may be missing?
It happens to me while using the xda app. Annoying as hell. It has the same message as Melissa

Does anyone know if this processor does thermal throttling? That could possibly trigger a power save dim with overheating. If we get root this can be disabled using trickster mod.

The Otimus G Pro had a setting in the hidden menu to disable thermal throttling.

Will do, you as well plz :good:
Thought this was an issue with my phone when I got it from AT&T yesterday. Glad to know it isn't just me. It seems to only have the issue when I am in a low-lite area (at least on mine) but when I am in an area with good lighting and the back light is 75% or more it doesn't dim nearly as much. Would be interested to see what a fix would be for this.

Same for me, it does it in low light obly, with or without power saving enabled. I have the same problem on my galaxy tab 2 (7) and couldn't find a fix yet.

The service mode is brought up by typing *#0011# in the dialer on this phone but aside from that i havent had a chance to mess around in there. I do know that key imput 1 doesnt bring up the main menu anymore.

So I've been having this issue and noticed it like two days ago, and reading all your responses I looked through and noticed I had one of the features that I thought I turned off. Smart Stay says that it starts to turn the screen off when we look away maybe it's a buggy feature (one I never intended to use but it might be the one doing this dimming thing (being one of the first steps to turn off the screen)

FYI Xposed Framework on MJA

Just wanted to give an fyi that Xposed Framework and Wanam are working on MJA. I haven't tested everything but the options I personally use are all working.

Here are all the Xposed Modules I use: Wanam, Disable Samsung Lockscreen Notifications, Maximize Widgets, Notification Mod, Snapshare and XHaloFloatingWindow.... anyone use any of those (obviously we know Wanam works) but for all the others it'd be nice to know before I make the jump to MJA. Still on Sac's v7.1!
Xui mod also working seconds on time and battery bar and nexus 7 animations...yea 4.3 mja...

Could use a little help, I am looking for some of the mods that can be done with out flashing a new ROM.
I am new to samsung (HTC from day one) and am trying to get up to speed on my new s4 .
Do you guys have any links?
Were/are Xposed mods not supposed to be working with MJA? I've been using Wanam and a few others for weeks now with absolutely no problem - maybe it's just what mods/options I'm using haha?

UN tick Adapt to lighting conditions.
Is that what you wanted?
There was another setting before the 257 update that let you uncheck an option that said something like 'automatic change screen condition to save battery"
I'll just have to reflash the old version to do a screen shot for you guys.

I've posted similar question earlier, but no answer so far. It was called "Optimised backlight" and it was positioned right below "Pulse notification light". It is basically DLS (Dynamic Luminance Scaling) and it is the most annoying power-saving feature in the known universe and I absolutely hate it. It should be a way to disable it with root explorer, but I can't find it in the folder where it was on my Xperia T.

I think I read somewhere that Sony removed it due to it bugging out with some apps.
They should remove it then, not leave us without possibility to turn this crap off.
Sent from my C6903 using XDA Premium 4 mobile app
Yeah. I would think if it doesn't work when on, then they should have disable it and left it off by default.
All other Android phone worked without trying to change this crap.
I love this phone but it's annoying me a lot when reading text that has dark background and graphics.

Per-App Dpi Module or App?

Anyone know of an app or module to change dpi for individual apps? I'm on Marshmallow with Xposed. I'd like to use tablet mode for some games.

Changing settings in build.prop needs a reboot to become active. There is a build.prop editor in the PS. My dpi is set to 384. Font size huge.
I don't want to change dpi of the whole phone, just a few apps.

There's an app floating around somewhere called Screen Shift I think it does something like you're wanting.
