Turn off Sunlight Mode

How do I turn off Sunlight Mode without disabling auto brightness?

No way to do that, unfortunately. It's now the default behavior. (Unless, of course, you hack the phone and install a ROM that supports disabling that)

Does turning off/on the blue light filter help? (Settings, display)

Or maybe Screen Mode:

Where is sunlight mode, it sounds like something I need here in Sydney.

Go outside and your screen will crank to the highest brightness.

I have no clue what sunlight mode even is.

I've noticed that, and I immediately have to turn down the light, what a pain!

I just predict future screen burn in

It used to be a toggle in the options in previous (VERY much older, though) models but it's been a while since Samsung just put the 'Sunlight' mode as the default for Auto-Brightness. Same thing with 'Glove sensitivity' mode...now the screen sensitivity is enough to be used with gloves, but not as strong as before, so thicker gloves won't work.

Anyway, sunlight mode just boosts brightness and color display a bit so the screen is more usable when on full-on sunlight. You can, of course, always cover the light sensor on the front and the sunlight mode will be turned off.

Turn off stock autobrightness, then use an app like Lux to control autobrightness.

Have you tried disabling Auto Brightness and just setting the brightness at the level you are comfortable with?

Finally have a reason to use screen write. . But yes. But that's not what I'm looking for.
