Brightness problem -- too bright

[Mushroom5678]

Hi, I have my phone on the lowest setting of Settings -> display -> brightness and I also have automatic brightness turned off, and the screen is still too bright and drains battery like crazy. My friend's galaxy s3 is so much dimmer and she can go even lower. Any suggestions? Much appreciated!

I use an app called screen filter from the market.

I installed it -- it works with the brightness, but we'll see if it works with helping conserve the battery. Thank you!!!

I have the Note 2 so I don't worry about battery life so I never paid attention if it helps or not.

But you are welcome I use it every night otherwise my wife would stab me in the face from the brightness of my phone not letting her sleep.

Lux is better than screen filter, there is a free version in the playstore

And if u are rooted, i have an apk that u can use to install it as a system app

What advantages does lux have?

I use an app called Night Mode. It works great. It's perfect for night time or migraines!

Thanks a can make changes automatically, gives you the highest brightness and lowest brightness your device can give you. It has plugins with Tasker, can be installed as a system app

Have you tried turning power saving mode on? This dramatically reduced brightness esp while Internet browsing
