I’ve noticed than when my brightness is all the way down it’s barely visible, and not legible, in a completely dark room. All the way UP, and I can see the screen well on cloudy days. On sunny days I need to remember where the icons and buttons are or to shade my phone.
Is it normal for the screen to be so dim? I’ve had it for three or four years, but I don’t remember complaining about the screen initially. Do backlights lose power over time? Is it a power saving feature for old batteries?
I used an app called Twilight for a while that dims the screen and tints everything red for bedtime, but I haven’t used it since the equivalent features were released by Google. Is it possible that some old dimming setting is still active even if the app is gone?
Other people’s phones seem to get much brighter than mine. Help!
You mentioned Google releasing equivalent features, but you didn’t specifically mention their Extra dim settings. Just to be sure, of you search for dim in Settings, is Extra dim accidentally enabled anywhere? Maybe Adaptive brightness is causing problems as well? If none of those settings are enabled, maybe those old settings from Twilight are causing problems. But it would be odd to just start showing up now.
Both Extra Dim and Adaptive Brightness are off, sadly. I can’t use adaptive brightness because the screen is usually too dark to read.
I appreciate the thoughts!
If you can’t figure it out. I bet a factory phone reset will. Good luck
Actually that’s a great idea. I can’t believe I hadn’t considered it.
