Hi,
automatic backlight is still too bright for me in almost any environment. I want to control the brightness of the screen by setting other values.
Is there an app or a hack to do this?
Good question. Loved to know too!
Look under widgets and you will find one called
"Brightness"
I'll let you figure the rest out for yourself

Try to using
Brightenes Level App
I recommend "SwitchPro Widget", which is available from the Marketplace. It allows you to toggle the brightnees, even to levels lower than the automatic setting.
Hi, i dont want to change brightness manually, but want to change the default values which are used for automatic brightness. Is this possible?
Does no one knows??
Hmmm would be handy!

Perhaps you could put some tinted glass/plastic over the sensor, so the phone thinks it's darker than it actually is and doesn't make the screen as bright?

good idea, but that's not the resolution, even in night it's very bright and for me even at manual 1% brightness it's a bit to bright for me...
would be awesome to have more possibilities to work with the amoled screen - by the way - for black it needs 0% energy so better to read white letters on black background
edit: me using "Quick Settings" to handle brightness etc.
Hi I am using dimmer lite download frm market place suits my usage

I would like the automatic brightness to be just a bit more brighter when im outside. Would be great to be able to adjust it!!
If there was something like a -2 -1 0 +1 +2 way to adjust it!
Dont want manually keep setting the brightness all the time.
I just tried the app called Dimmer.
It is perfect.
Goes to a very low setting and then switches back to whatever you had before.
I have the same problem with my Desire that the Auto Brightness doesn't go all the way down and the HTC Denmark support basically just said meh. And said they would report it as a wish for future updates.

This app is great! Thank you!
I have my phone on autobacklight, but I find that in dark settings its too bright!!
This app does what I want with a simple click! Shame however that there's no way to reduce the lowest brightness on auto setting built into the OS.
I used to have this very good app on my N1 for using the LED flash as torch light, what it does have more than any other torch app is the ''brighter'' LED option that double the light intensity of the LED.
I want to know if it works with DHD and specially this option with the 2 leds
The DHD comes with a stock Flashlight app that uses both LEDs.
It's called "Flashlight"
There is a "high brightness" setting in the CM7 torch app, which is can blind you in daylight (Very fun to do ).
It is not for long term use and is to be used at a risk of burning the LEDs.
This guy provides the app as a addon in ARHD ROM. It can only be used through pulldown menu though.
Hope this helps.
Can you please try the high brightness of the nexus torch app please?
I want to decide between Desire and DHD, and those small details can make the difference

Autobrightness feature is all ready activated in the latest firmware by default.
And yes, it has the light sensor.

Hello scalikano,
Good Question .
i am using tasker coz if we use only lux, then it will run periodically in background for light reading. running lux periodically will drain battery and one more reason for using tasker is sometimes androids default task killing system kills lux service, so than lux will stop working until you restart it, tasker helps to keep it alive, so when ever you turn your phones display on tasker and lux will adjust screen brightness to its best....:highfive:
thanx for the update ..friend.
it is a good solution.
i dont have that problem battery draining or task killer issue.
i use lux on wake-up mode (lux only works when u unlock ur screen) n ignore lux in the task killer..thats another solution..thanx

+1 same here. Though, I'm trying to understand how to use Lux properly, I mean: in a sunny day, outside, I need the brightness at 80%/100%, else I can't see anything on screen. At night time, viceversa, low brightness.
Now: I can set these low/top values, but, what can I do for average Luma values? Am I clear?
first adjust lux on-wake mode with settings wizard in setup.
then go to sample collection select camera and front camera and check ''ignore 0 lux settings''
in general setting, offscreen button backlight should be ON.
fade brightness changes checked,
jitter control checked
manual call brightness checked
persistent notification checked
and widget opens dashboard checked.
now put lux widget on your homescreen.when u click on widget lux dashboard will be open.
in the middle of the dashboard u will see a circle with yellow line to link brightness value to luma value
just press link button to fix ur brightness to that luma value.
it means according to changing environmental brightness u can adjust the brightness value by dragging line forward or back and make a link that luma value and after several times of linking it automatically comes to that brightness u had linked before.
so, no need to add one by one the values in luma.
i use lux like this way.
it is so simple.just link some values e.g. in the room at night light, in the noon outside,
sorry for my bad english i tried to explain in detailed as can as i do.
TY, I'll try your settings! :highfive:
EDIT: why Offscreen button backlight ON? I mean, it keeps softkeys always on, while, to save battery, I always keep them disabled.. uhm?

no it does not mean sofkeys always on.
it means when u are on lockscreen lux will work after u press menu button when on slide or pattern or other lockscreen mode.
otherwise after locking ur screen, brightness will not be increased by lux if u dont check that option and u are not able to see pattern to unlock under sun light.

Okay, I see, but, actually, if I enable it, it keeps softkeys on, or that happens only to me? That's why I disabled it.
in phone /settings /lockscreen/ adjust it to 6 seconds...no problem.
softkeys will be turned off after 6 seconds and it will not effect lux working

I've adjusted it to 5 sec (no way to set it at 6 -- ?), yet, softkeys would not switch off, and stay on all the time.. what do I do wrong?
sorry for mistake way...
settings-display-more settings-touch key light duration..6 seconds is there but i just gave it as an example.it does not matter u can turn it ''always off''
---------- Post added at 11:32 PM ---------- Previous post was at 11:29 PM ----------
u can try different ways..lux will work on lockscreen mode if selected in lux settings.
no worry..just play with ur phone.

As you said.. give it a go! I downloaded it for my gt-I8190, it uses front camera as light sensor, it works, I like it.
If so, follow scaliskano's steps. :good:
In the paid version of lux you can use the front camera as a lightsensor. Works like a charm for me. There's a thread dedicated on this subject. Don't have it at hand, just search for it.

Since Xperia Ion, S, SL and other devices in this category have a hardware for ambient sensor, but Sony did't gave the auto brightness option in the display settings. Here is a small app which I recently found for enabling auto brightness in your phones. Download from attachments.
Download it from here and enjoy ! :good:

Change Smoothing time to 3000ms under sensitivity in settings, that would help.

SONY XPERIA S has auto brightness enabled, and it's always ON.
Ceck it : Go out in bright light, and then put your finger on the sensor. You'll see the difference.
TIP : Settings/Display/Brightness : Must be set over 60 % for the auto brightness to work, if you set your brightness under 50 % it will not work. Enjoy auto brightness in SONY XPERIA S without an app to do the job.
didnt work for me. i have xperia SL. trinity rom 2.9 and doomkernel >.<
