Auto Brightness App

Is there an auto brightness app that is compatible with SGII that will allow me to set a min and max brightness level? Thanks

Try screenfilter

we need auto brightness app that switches to low brightness in low light and 100% in bright light. mine turns down in sunlight which makes it impossible to see.

heres a trick i found. turn off auto brightness. then, just barely pull down notification bar and slide right to brighten and left to dim.... this works on MOST galaxy devices... not all

What rom you running? If jugs, I know the above works for sure, but it's kind of annoying to use.
Since when you touch the top the notifier comes down, just keep holding and wiggle back and forward.

Try TOTAL SCREEN CONTROL in the market. Filters, orientation lock, controls screen time out based on position of the phone, brightness control, soft key led control etc. etc. Works perfect on my T989!

[Q] Capacitive Buttons Help

I really hate how the capacitive buttons are so bright, is it a way to fade them? please help!

i dont think there's a way to reduce brightness in the capacitive led's. You can adjust the time-out from 3 to 1.5 seconds... but that's about it.
i know how you feel, especially when im using the kindle app in night mode, the capacitive button slight up every time i touch the screen or turn the page, and despite the screen being on minimum brightness, everytime the capacitive lights come on, they blind me. I have since resorted to physically turning off the capacitive backlight completely when im using the kindle app.
if there is a way to reduce the brightness on them, i'd also love to know about it.

I think the only solution is wait for a developer to modify that with a diferent kernel script, meanwhile Im using Screen Filter app to disable the soft-keys light, its not perfect but my eyes are resting now lol, I hope a nice developer see this thread and try to come out with a better solution.

CM7 has a capacitive button dimmer if I'm not mistaken

I saw it but I dont think CM7 is ready for a daily driver rom and I dont know if its actually a dimmer to lower the light or just to activate it as notification lights

[Q] Hardware buttons - permanently light up?

Hello!
I just switched from HTC Hero to HTC Wildfire S
Is there any ROM or App that lights up the hardware buttons permanently?
I know that they are linked to the light sensor. But in low-light conditions I really can't tell where the buttons are

Hmm, don't know if there are any apps. But I'm sure the light sensor works perfectly when it comes to seeing the soft buttons..
Welcome to the WFS forum anyway.

Well for me the light sensor does not work properly here. I cannot see the buttons dusky in light conditions

Try screen filter it has options for turning on the button lights.
When u Start the program it'll dim ur screen then click it's settings in notification bar and adjust the slider to set the dimness and select the option to light up the buttons.
Not sure what u mean by permanent but just try it out and give a thumbs up if it helped

Hi! Screen Filter does not work even thought I selected the option for light up the buttons
By permenent I mean: I want the hardware buttons to light up always when the display is on.

Isn't. That the. Default case?
My buttons. Are always lit when. My display. Is on
Edit: using cyanogenmod 7.2
Maybe this will help

[Q] Decrease Minimum Brightness?

Is it possible to decrease the backlight of the phone even further than the minimum (for using in bed)? I tried modifying the min brightness setting in build.prop and it makes the brightness slider go further down, but it doesn't actually get any more dim. Is there any way to set this other than using a "screen filter"-type app. Thanks!

Yaab from the market, try it out

use and app called screen filter. it places a transparent layer over the screen and dims it further. it works better on amoled than on led lit screens since amoleds don't use a backlight. with led backlights it doesn't dim it, just darkens the images (backlight level remains the same).

I can't remember why I settled on Display Filter instead of Screen Filter. But there's another option for you.

Small annoyances with buttons and backlight

I have had the phone for a week now and am reasonably happy with it but there are a few nagging annoyances that I've discovered so I was hoping that someone might have a solution.
1. The capacitive button back-light is useless as currently implemented. they light up after one has been pressed for about a second and then go dark again. Is there a way to have them be lit up any time the screen is on?
2. The screen automatic brightness for some reason in a dark room will go to minimum and then after a few minutes will increase the brightness to maybe 50%. I can turn off the auto brightness and turn it down manually but in auto mode it won't go back down to minimum for several minutes.

+1 on both. Hope it's addressed with one of the next updates

3. Maybe an android issue, but in manual brightness mode, the first 5% of the brightness slider is mega sensitive, while the rest does almost nothing...
Why can't it be more linear? Lol

This automatic brightness issue has been on oneplus x from day one and seems like oneplus 3 also has it. They did not fix it even after 8 months, I hope they fix it on oneplus 3. Create ticket for that so that oneplus is aware.

OTA update has since fixed the auto-brightness issue, but the backlights on the capacitive keys still only stay on for seconds. Has a mod (root/xposed/etc) been created to address this at all? I'd also love for them to remain on as long as the screen is on (and I want to remain on OOS)

Yes, you can use GravityBox Xposed module to keep button backlight on.

Thanks! Worked great

Has anyone noticed that the left side capacitive button backlight is slightly dimmer than right side capacitive button backlight..? In oneplus 3t..
Like there is a small difference in their brightness intensity between the left ans right capacitive button backlight..

Most likely the effect of positioning of the LEDs rather than their intensity.

I leave mine off all the time. I know where the spot is and prefer not to have a bright led shining
