Hi! In Android 13 there was an issue with the brightness flickering when it was dark, that got fixed after a while. Now with the update to Android 14, there’s a new issue with the auto brightness: No matter how dark it is, the minimum screen brightness is at around 20%, for me it’s 17%. I may t…

First idea was to create a task wit…

Hi @T4om , sorry for the late response. Recently the app did not prove as reliable/usable, as I thought: Max Brightness was never achieved (automatically) even when in the brightest sun Max Brightness was reduced, when pulled up manually (annoying when using the phone to navigate with a car) Min…
