[Q] Automatic Brightness on Arc S? - Xperia Arc Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I found out that my Arc S has an ambient light sensor.
I think it is for automatic brightness setting for display, but I don't find it anywhere in the setting.
Can anyone explain what the use of it? Or is the stock dev don't take the use of it?

Oh I see.
So it's not implemented.
Thanks. I will try flashing your solution.

Does automatic brightness work in CM10? I've enabled it in the settings but can't see the difference.

[Q] How to enable keyboard light ?

Hello,
I have some bug with my keyboard lightning, when I open my keyboard there is no light and it's a big problem for me because often I type message in the dark.
I know it's a software problem because I have a beta ICS rom.
So, I'm asking if there is an app or a script to enable the light whith a shorcut ?
Thanks to read it and sorry for my bad english

I'm assuming you do not have auto-brightness enabled? Because it won't know that its dark enough to need the keyboard lights... if you don't want to have full auto-brightness or you want to control it i would flash andromadus cause they have a really good customization for the auto-brightness levels : cyanogen mod style
owwh yeah you're right! thanks a lot!!
But there is no way to activate keyboard's light whitout auto brightness?

Currently...no. This seems like a temporary fix since the devs are working on more important things, i.e Camera... Once they work that out they will probably move on to the "facelifts".
I know there isn't much of a point to me saying this - but be sure to post questions in the Q&A forum!
I think it is just on Virtuous Beta Rom, on Andromadus, it seems to work
Sorry for created the topic in the wrong section
Indeed I'm on Virtuous Beta Rom.
There is a free app called "Backlight off" that help to force the light of hw keyboard on!
It's only for rooted phone and I have tried this on the various beta of ICS for Desire Z and sometime it worked...
Sorry if there aren't link for download but are still not enabled!

[Q] The so called Optimized Backlight

Or does anyone know how to turn off this annoying misfeature?
Optimized Backlight is the name sony gave to the screen content dependent backlight setting. If your screen has a big proportion of white or other bright colors, the backlight will be brighter as well, if the content is mostly dark, then the backlight will get darker.
This is independent from the adaptive backlight setting and can not be turned off.
I did try CM11 to get rid of it, but CM11 also has this feature.
Try - hard boot using vol up + power button. Z1 owners reported it works.

Nope.
But, I searched a bit, and this feature is called Content Adaptive BackLight or CABL.
So, for the custom ROM builders out there, what about the build.prop setting ro.qualcomm.cabl ? In the sony ROM it is set to 1. Perhaps setting it to 0 would work?
I don't have a solution, but I agree that this is an annoying anti-feature that adds nothing to the user experience or image quality, just gets irritating fast.
Small consolation: it doesn't seem as aggressive on KitKat ...

I dug a bit further and it seems that at least in some versions or on some devices with cm there actually is an advanced display settings dialog, where cabc, as they call it, can be disabled, but it wasn't there on my cm11.

Any solution to this yet? I'm guessing root is the only way? I find it annoying, but at least it's not as bad as the Z1.

i dont know any fix but have you changed any thing in your phone
installed any conflicting brightness or some sort of keep device wake up kind of apps
last thing you can do is take a back up of your current states
then do a fresh install wipe every thing
that can solve your issue
coz from where i can see settings for sensor is messed up

I'm using xperia z ultra and having the same issue, had this problem on 4.4 and 4.3 but never on 4.2. I guess its a 'feature' called Content Adaptive Backlight (google it) and can't be disabled.
