Set bringhtness and have it never change

[Android Central Question]

Samsung S7 Active. If I am fumbling around with the phone, for example trying to grab it and answer the phone while my other hand and mind are engaged, I sometimes accidentally set the brightness so dim that I cannot see anything on the screen.

I am not one to fiddle with the brightness. I want to be able to set it so that it never changes unless I go back and re-set it by a complex enough maneuver that means i won't do it accidentally.

It is hart to search for this topic because if I include the sord "lock" I only get all of the answers for people who want the brightness on their lock screen to be differnet. Is there something I can do?

Thank you so much.

Set it in the brightness slider to what you want from notification panel and disable Auto brightness

Auto brightness is set to "Off." This setting seems to determine whether an app can change the brightness. The event I am describing involves me fumbling with my phone.

With auto brightness off it should not change at what u set it at.

I know that is how it is supposed to work. I know I am not fumbling enough to go to settings and push that slider to on, but I may be pressing some of the buttons on the sides of the phone. I'll ask at the phone store the next time I get a chance, and if they have a solution I will post it. Thank you so much for your help.

Try safe mode if this still happening

Do you have any 3rd party screen dimmer apps installed?
