![]() ![]() I woke up this morning at 4:30AM for some reason and can tell you that it was quite wonderful to use before I was able to pass back out for another hour. Not all phones have a light sensor for example Samsung Spica lacks one, though you can use the Power Control Widget to quickly change the brightness. This will make your phone incredibly dark, if you want it to be, just so you are aware. Yes, as you have guessed on devices that support automatic screen brightness, there is a light sensor, it's typically a small hole on the side of the screen. This will help you adjust that lowest level, rather than messing with your medium brightness and then finding your lowest brightness is too dark. I suggest dropping your phone’s brightness all of the way to its lowest setting and then adjusting the intensity slider. ![]() Alternatively, you can scroll down to access your notification panel and tap on the Auto. Scroll down until you find Device Health. Once in settings, tap Apps and then hit See all apps. Wait for a few seconds and then turn on the toggle for the Automatic Brightness feature. You can do this by swiping down twice from the top of the homescreen and tapping the settings cog. Turn off the toggle for Automatic Brightness. This is where you get to take your display to the extra dark realm. Open the Settings App on your Android phone. The most important part is the intensity setting. When in Extra Dim settings, outside of being able to toggle it on or off, you’ll find toggles for keeping the setting active when you reboot your phone and also to create another shortcut that involves the volume keys. To get into settings for it, you can either long-press on that quick settings shortcut or head into Settings>Accessibility>Extra Dim. To turn it on, there is a quick settings toggle in the quick settings pulldown. This feature was previously called “ Reduce Bright Colors” or “Reduce Brightness,” but Google has now settled into “Extra Dim” for Developer Preview 3, which I kind of like.Īs you’ll see in the screenshots here, Extra Dim can “make your screen dimmer so it’s more comfortable to read.” It’s there for those times where your “phone’s default minimum brightness is still too bright” or when “using your phone in dark situations, like at night or in a dark room before bed.” You got me, Google! One of Android 12’s features called “ Extra Dim” aims to address not-dim-enough-displays by allowing the system to further darken beyond what an OEM might have set. Samsung’s phones, for example, have excellent brightness range at both the low and high end. To disable the app, follow these steps: Step 1: Launch the device Settings and tap on Apps/Application Manager. It must be because I use my phone far too often in dark situations (aka lying in bed), but I can tell you which phones get dark enough and which need a bit of help. The first thing you should try when Adaptive Brightness misbehaves is to take it back to its factory default state. You can only disable the Talkback app and not uninstall it, as it is a system app. Brightness controls are one of those areas of a smartphone review that I often spend an odd amount of time talking about. ![]()
