is there a dimming option on this phone?
sometimes after a real short period, the screen will go dim
but as soon as you touch any part of the screen it will go back to normal brightness
where is the dim setting for this?(to set the amount of time to wait before dimming screen)
When it dims, check under Settings > Brightness and see if it warns you about Overheating.
If it does, check my thread.
If not, it may be the power saving options also in Settings > Display.
While not a timer, you can make manual adjustments. Turn off auto brightness in display settings. Then, to increase or decrease brightness, place your finger on the status bar and slide it left or right.

I've had a problem with the t989D since I got it. Here's what I want:
**Auto brightness turned OFF and the brightness remain at minimum setting.**
However, with all the roms I've tried (Stock, Juggernaut 4.1- 5.0, Tuesday) I always have the auto brightness OFF and the screen always brightens up to about 75% whenever I turn the screen back on.
Note: the settings still show as if the brightness is set to 0%, but the actual brightness coming from the screen is the same as if I turn the bar up to 75%. When I start to move the adjustment bar a slight amount for the brightness, the actual screen light drops right away. It only stays on 0% as long as I'm using it, but then is really bright again when I lock, then unlock the screen.
Is anyone else noticing this? Beyond that, is it possible to prevent the screen from adjusting it's brightness while the auto brightness nis off?
Thanks for any assistance!!
My Xperia ZL keeps dimming its screen automatically every time when the phone gets warm, it's very annoying since it happens on my previous Xperia S as well, I can't find "Auto Adjust Screen Tone" setting or check box in display settings.
How can or can I disable the Auto Adjust Screen Tone on my ZL?
As far I'm aware, It's in the Display>Brightness setting, and turn off "Adapt to lightning conditions".

There should be two different settings on android, Adapt to lightning conditions n Auto adjust screen tone.

There are two factors that automatically adjust screen brightness.
First is based on ambient light. It will set backlight brighter if you are in brighter place, and dim it if you move to dark. It could be controlled or even disabled in "display" settings menu.
Second one is "dynamic contrast". It sets brightness of backlight based on currently displayed image. For example "dull", low contrast image will have backlight reduced to save power, while image with more contrast will have brighter backlight. This can't be switched off or controlled by any apps, from what I know even custom ROMs still have it on, probably it's hardware-controlled.
Every time I reboot my G3, it starts off at 90%-100% brightness. I did tap the "Automatic Brightness" button during my session, but upon starting up the phone again, it returns to the near maximum brightness. How can I set automatic brightness as default? The rest of the other notification panel buttons are all ok though. Thanks.

Thanks, but the description says it "only restricts from brightness getting being decreased by the system and nothing else." My concern is having max brightness every time, though I would rather start up my phone at half or automatic brightness.
***Update***
The culprit was Lightflow. Had to deselect all "additional leds found". Me + google = victory.
Hello all, I'm hoping someone might know how to help me diagnose an issue I'm having with my brightness settings.
If I unselect "Auto" and set to max brightness, the screen gets nice and bright. But that's not a problem.
If I press the power button to turn the screen off, then press it again to turn the screen back on, the brightness quickly dims to a less bright value. All sliders, icons, settings etc. still register as being set at max brightness.
From what I can tell, the brightness is actually switching to the dimmest setting. The opposite of maximum brightness.
Any ideas? I'm new to logcatting, so might need some specific direction on the proper parameters to log.
T989 running Rushing's Lightspeed (4.1.2 base), and latest Tiberius 3.0.101 kernel. I've made some systemui xml tweaks for status bar and expanded status bar.
Let me know what other info I can provide.
Bump ... just realized the same thing is happening even when on auto brightness. Change the setting, all is good. Press power to turn screen off. Then press power to turn screen on, and within the first second, the brightness drops. Like something loads when waking the phone.
Any ideas where to start looking?
Is there a way to have that on all the time when I go to 100% brightness? Unfortunately it doesn't work with velis auto brightness app. I love how bright it gets.
If you guys don't know what I'm talking about, if you have your phone on autobrightness or even with autobrightness off but have the slider at 100%, the screen will get even brighter when you are in direct sunlight...over the 100% setting.
I believe that's just the auto contrast doing its thing in the presence of bright daylight. As far as I know you can only adjust it in a minimal fashion in Settings > General > Accessibility > Screen Color Adjustment and fiddling with the colors.
