On my nexus, my auto brightness is not working right. If I take my phone in bright light, the screen brightness goes up. However, if I move away to a dim place or cover the light sensor, it doesn't dim the screen. Its like its stuck on that higher setting till I turn the screen off and on. Of course we have the very low brightness issue also, but this is different. Can anyone try this on theirs' and see what happens?

Same here. Minor inconvenience. Last phone did it also.

I've never had a phone other than an iphone 2g that did this. Its very bad for battery life. I mean, you would be using your phone in bright light and then move away to a dim place and expect the screen to go down in brightness to save battery. But its but working here this way.

if you unlocked, there are a couple of patches in development section.

Im using a myTouch 4G and its always done that. My mothers MT4GS does the same thing. I think its just something that isnt accounted for

yes pach it
guys, especially the new Verizon owners, do you all notice the same thing on your phones?
Please can someone test this out? I need to see whether its a defect on just my phone or whether its normal behavior with the Nexus . Thanks.

Its not just yours. Patch it or move on.

All you have to do is lock and unlock the phone. It will adjust
Edit: Didn't see that that's what you already do

Great, but it shouldn't do that. It should auto adjust on the fly. I saw it functioning fine on the Note I had. After the patch, does this work normal now?

OMG I've just tested my iPod Touch 4th Gen with my LED torch.
It behaves exact same as the Galaxy Nexus
Once the screen brightness has been boosted up, it won't go down until I switch the screen off and on again.
What the hell is this? Is it a kind of function but not a bug?

Yea, my old iphone 2g had worked the same way. Once it goes up, it doesnt come down. I've never had a android phone that works that way. All of them go up or down dynamically as needed. I'm sure the change is something new on ICS. Gingerbread & older OS did not do this, example: The Galaxy Note I had before Nexus would dynamically shift. But not the Nexus. On the Nexus, I have to turn the phone off then on for it "sense" the dimmer lighting to decrease the brightness.
Or simply not use auto-brightness.

You could do that, but the intent of this thread was to highlight an obvious flaw with ICS. Im sure thats how google wanted it, but why?

Did anybody find the patch and does it work?? I searched the dev section and all I could find was patches to increase the light levels of the auto brightness, couldn't find the patch or a fix for the auto brightness not dimming. If someone could link it or point me in the right direction that would be awesome
Bump
Nobody was ably to fix the issue of the screen not dimming???
Same here on 4.0.4, I find it very annoying. A friend of mine now uses AOKP MS5 on his device, which dims correctly (as I think of what "correct" is).

Stock android has always been in this way iirc...
Only phones not running an aop Roms (like samsung) lower the dimm...
CM9 has a specific option to enable backlight dimming and always had (yes, in gingerbread too)

Im the OP of this post, turns out most of the custom roms have an option under display settings called decrease hysteresis that allows the screen to dim. I am completely satisfied now.

Since there isn't an LED light specifically for notifications, is there a way to make the LEDs for menu, home, back, and search light up for said notifications? It would be even better if each one lit up for specific apps so I could know why it's lighting up before I even turn on the screen.
Thanks for any help!
My suggestion would be NoLED.

The closest we can get to LED notifications is BLN. You need to use a BLN compatible kernel and use the app BLN Control.

Perfect, thanks!
I'm trying to tweak some things on system tuner and my phone rebooted (but took a bit to turn on) my blood pressure dropped, I thought I killed my phone!
But after some reading.. it pretty much means the phone does not like those settings, change them.. right? Phone works fine now though, but I was wondering for future reference

Yeah, basically. If you are undervolting, you need to take tiny increments to make sure the phone is stable before going any further.

Is there any way to keep the LED blinking or stay lit when the screen is on?
I'm thinking you can with light flow in certain situations, but to better understand your question, why would you want to?

Agreed that lightflow can do that for you. I just love the app now that I have a phone with led notification again

Keeping the led on kinda beats the point of using led notif..
Maybe OP works at high altitude and needs a beacon to be seen

To keep the LED on while the screen is on AOKP 26 has this built in. Have not seen any other wat to do it though.

Why I have it is when I get a text I don't remember when I'm watching videos till I see it blinking and remember. Comes in handy some points.

Then light flow will work. There's an option to have the light turn off only after the specified app is entered.

I'm running Neutrino mod and have tried lightflow. But the LED only blinks if the screen is off. I have found no function to keep it on. am I missing something?

I haven't found an option like that either. I think our only option right now is to use AOKP or try and figure out how they are implementing it and make an app of our own.
As for those of you asking why you would want this, the answer in my case is full-screen apps that hide the notification bar. I have AOKP and was happy to be able to turn this feature on.
Any way to change that?
The white epic touch has uncomfortably bright capacitive buttons. So I have to use turn off after 6 seconds option instead of turn off never. It still bothers me though. The black epic touch didn't have this problem.
Not that I know of. I've had mine turned off since the day I got the phone. I know what the buttons are and where they are so I dont need them lit up.

It's certainly possible on HTC phones -

i have a white one too, and, yes, the lights are a lot brighter than on the black ones...Plus, I have a wrapsol covering the entire phone, and, they cast an erie glow
through the screen protector.
Actually, this reminds of an idea for a mod that I had. I thought of it when I had a white et4g screen for a little while, the capacitive buttons look so cool because of the slight aura around the lights.
The idea was a mod that lit each individual button when you hit them, except the light would fade in and out quickly; similar to what the on-screen keys do on the galaxy nexus. It would couple well with a mod that would have them light up quickly in succession when the phone is woken up, rather than simultaneously.
Wishful thinking I suppose lol.

I don't think that would be possible, simply because they were never designed to work that way. Each soft key would have to have its own LED.

Are those capacitive buttons still Amoled?
Cause then by definition they have their own led pixels.
Does the Gnex have an LED notification light? I have yet to see one.
Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using xda premium
Sure does. Its below the display. RGB too.
Sent from my Nexus 7 using xda premium
The notification light in Gnex is one of my favourite options in the phone. Some ROMs provide full customization of the notification light ( ex. Paranoid android) . I've set it to flash blue for missed calls , yellow for SMS, green for whatsapp and red for tango
It only lights up when the screen is off?

The rom has to support it, and you have to manually set it up...
I installed light flow. That's how I found it. I'm running Affinity rom and have not seen it work before. Maybe the rom doesn't support it.

Lightflow has been really flaky for me (misses many notification events). The built-in settings in CM10 works best. I don't recall it missing anything.

Except for receiving a phone call . It lights when the screen is off or on. That's at least what my phone does with PA rom
I love how I makes it pulse when I charge my phone.

If I have helped you.... hit that sexy thanks button. ^_^
Yup, didn't know there was one also. I got the point of thinking... maybe the VZW version just doesn't have one :crying:
And then it happened...:victory::victory::victory::victory::victory::victory::victory::victory::victory::victory:
Galaxy Nexus + LightFlow has been a great combination for me. The RGB LED notification is a must for me with any future phones.
is a full on Rom the only way to customize it? Only thing id really like to see, is for it to pulse a bit faster. The length in time it takes to pulse is too long imo. I could turn the phone on an look faster than it would take for me to stare at that point and see if there is a message.
use lightflow.

Must have been something with the Affinity rom. I loaded CNA and it works as its supposed to, plus its customizable.
