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!

I read your comment on a 6pro at lowest brightness.

On full brightness I can read in full sunshine.

* ADD a new user and test brightness there, to rule out the old dimmer program that you had.
