Does anyone know what light levels the light sensor takes? I came from Droid X where the light sensor only sense 4 values. Does the GS3 light sensor only take specific values or the whole interval? I want to know cause my auto brightness is very low when I'm outdoor and not sure which light levels to fix.
Are you sure the brightness is low when you're outside?
AMOLED screens usually aren't very effective in the outdoors, I have to crank the brightness all the way up for it to be visible for example.
and iahucarn
I'm sure it's something to do with auto brightness since the screen is much brighter when I turn off the auto brightness and turn the brightness all the way up. It might be a bug in my rom, I'm using CM10.
Can Gio able to have auto brightness?
Thanks~
auto brightness needs brightness sensor which is absent in GIO..so sorry mate no its not possible..auti brightness is a hardware issue

Not possible cuz gio doesn't have a "ambient light sensor" hardware which controls the auto brightness feature.
Is anyone else having the problem if you select auto brightness the screen is very very dim and doesn't adjust?
My tablet when on auto brightness becomes very dark in unlit rooms and I can barely see it videos or detail.

I am not sure if this works with stock roms, but if you install PhilZ touch recovery from the thread... http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2367151
You have options in the advanced menu to change the response time for auto brightness. The default is 1 minute, you will need to tap about 4 times to get it down to 0, as it counts up to 5.
Which sped up the delay from going from one extreme to the other in ambient lighting.
If you install his custom roms you also get options to adjust the brightness intensity in 5 steps while auto brightness is on. I found this out after some time messing with my settings.

Lux Auto Brightness - perfect app for brightness tuning - you can set you own profile - matching desired screen brightness to sensor reading, and the process is very easy.
Short info, taken from app description:
Lux isn't your ordinary brightness app. It intelligently adjusts the brightness of your display based on the environment you're in. If, for example, you step into a dimly lit room, Lux will automatically lower the brightness of your display to make it not only comfortable to read, but to also preserve battery power.
Lux provides the option to automatically adjust the backlight at fixed intervals (periodic mode), when a change in environment is detected (dynamic mode), or when the phone wakes from sleep. It's also possible to adjust the backlight manually. Simply disable automatic mode and you can use it like a traditional brightness tool!
Perhaps the best thing about Lux is that you can teach it how to behave. If the backlight is too bright or dim for your liking, simply open the provided Dashboard, adjust the brightness slider to the level you desire, then hold the link button. Lux will use this new 'link' as a reference in future.
lux and velis both work. i paid for both, but i prefer lux.
When my auto brightness was on i changed the brightness manually and since then the auto brightness is not working properly.. What should i do?
