Android Central Question

All of a sudden my minimum screen brightness in full darkness is way brighter. I noticed this when I was using my phone in bed.

The most dim setting is not even watchable any more in full darkness and the brightest setting now is just ruining your eyes instantly. What happened?

Adaptive brightness is and always was turned off.

A few more things changed simultaneously:
- hour setting in **** went from 24h a day to 2x12h am pm setting
- and the vibration of the keyboard and function buttons stopped

How come these things suddenly changed?
I didn't change any settings at all. And didn't install or delete any apps in the last few months.

Hope the minimum screen brightness is fixable this is annoying.

I sometimes use the Twilight app for making the screen more dim and yellow at night, but this app has been on the phone for over half a year and never had any issues. Even on the max screen dim on this app the phone is still bright, before on max screen dim I couldn't read any more because the screen would get too dark.

I have a Nexus 6 and use android 7.0

Thank you very much.
