Auto brightness too dark?

I used to use a galaxy s captivate and now I'm on the galaxy nexus.
One thing I really liked about touchwiz was how you can swipe across the status bar to change the brightness.
Now on my galaxy nexus I just put it to auto brightness. But I think its usually darker than how it should be.
Is this how it has been for android all the time? I never used auto brightness in the past so I'm not sure if I'm the problem or if its the device.

I agree. It's too dim for me to use.

I leave mine anywhere between 35 and 45 percent and its perfect. If I'm in direct sunlight I crank it up to 100%.

I can use auto brightness fine, can even use minimum with no problems. However I set it to 50% so that I don't get some of the colour changes that amoled is prone to.

I'm worried about my auto brightness as it doesn't seem to work at all. Standing in a dark room and then turning lights on bright makes no difference. On 4.0.1.

We should ask for a change request to Google.

Used that fix on Android Revolution HD Rom, worked perfectly.

The app for a flashlight is called flashlight. Search for it in the market

My main flashlight has been Tesla LED, but it seems to have a a 3 second or so wait between pressing the torch and the light coming on. Hopefully they will patch it up soon and it will be a great torch app on the Nexus Prime.

I use :

works great.

Hi,
does USB Jig for Galaxy S/Galaxy S2 work on Nexus?

I tried a load of flash light apps, all which seemed to have taken forever from when you press the switch to when the light went on.
Apart from 1 app called "search light" https://market.android.com/details?id=com.scottmain.android.searchlight . The flash turns on instantly, and you can have the screen show you what the camera sees, which is very useful when looking for things in the dark!
I can't recommend search light enough!

I agree with darkgruff , tiny works great and just added shake to turn on in the lock screen

I don't know if you are rooted or not but AOKP's roms have a torch built in and you can enabled it as a toggle in the notification bar. Works perfectly.

Clock on screen timeout

Hey folks!
I am loving my Galaxy Nexus, though one thing I miss from my OG Droid was its ability to turn it into my alarm clock when docking it. Does anyone know of a way to set the Galaxy Nexus into dock mode, where it would switch on the clock when plugged in and the screen times out?

There is an app called tasker which can be used to do that.

If you have/buy some NFC tags you could set one up to open the Clock App when you go near the tag.
Just an alternative method.

Awesome! If my wife lets me, I might look into the NFC route. Might be fun to set up a bunch of them around the apartment and in the car since both of us own the Galaxy Nexus.

Has this phone sth like SmartStay?

Hi
I'm wondering if the LG has this function what Samsung calls "smartstay"? The front cam scans your eye and checks if you are still looking at the screen. This way the screen will stay on and you don't have to switch it in on again in case you exceeded the screen timeout time, which can be very annoying. I really love this feature on my old S3....
