Minimum brightness

[XDA_RealLifeReview]

You don't want to give your significant other yet another reason to yell at you while you're reading XDA in bed. Rate this thread to express what you think of the OnePlus 3T's display minimum dimness. A higher rating indicates that the display can get extremely dim, ideal for reading in very dark environments.

Then, drop a comment if you have anything to add!

i feel that they need to dim it more, it's still annoying

One thing I noticed is that the phone offers EXTREME fine tune-ing of the lower brightness end.....when I adjust the adaptive brightness, if I click and drag the setting towards the bottom end, there is tons of adjustability available to the user to find exactly how much brightness you want. Having said that, the lowest settings appears quite dim to me (but not 'dangerously' dim)

The lowest setting for me seems to be extremely bright still, for night usage at least. Every other phone I've used has been able to get far more dim.

Anyone know of any way to lower it further actually?

root it and with the help of xposed (or without) you can edit the parameters to make it even dimmer.

What do I edit? I'm rooted with Xposed.

Got the device for a few weeks and there are already burn ins on the left side

If you don't want the hassle of rooting and running xposed you could just install an app from play store, I use lower brightness by Nu-Kob, nothing fancy but it does the job

I'm using rr with magisk (if any of that even matters when it comes to brightness). When the lights are off and I have the brightness all the way up I can barely look at it. But when I turn the brightness all the way down with the lights off it is perfect and I can see everything very clearly and my girlfriend or has an s6 and she is always jealous that when she turns her brightness down it's still blinding. So I think it's great.

Try Velis Auto Brightness https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.velis.auto.brightness&hl=en
no ads and it works great, tons of parameter to adjust as well.

At night, the brightness is way too much. Observing the display, f.e. playing PoGo in a park at night, you almost get night blind. If you switch automatic brightness off, there is one more step down, but this one is way too dark and without any contrast. Compared to my previous device, it's really bad. I hope, it gets fixed, if possible by the hardware at all.

I also think that the minimum brightness is not dim enough.

I rectify this using an app called Twilight - no root required - which allows to dim + apply red filter

It's usually okay for me, however I use Dimly if I need to go even lower.
