[APP] Simple Barometer for Galaxy Nexus

Hi all,
I just wanted to present you a very simple application,
that shows the barometric pressure in the environment.
It simply reads out the sensor value and also calculates
the approximate altitude based on standart atmospheric
pressure at sea level of 1013.25 hPa and at a standart
temperature of 288.15 K.
Why I made this application, if it was so simple?
There was no such application, that shows the barometric
pressure in a nice way, so there we go:

Very cool, thanks. Only suggestion would maybe to have a graph so we can keep an eye on the trend.

Looks nice in the screenshot but the gauge doesn't display for me. Just the numbers.

Same here - Image is not displaying...

Works great for me, very nice app thx!

Works great. My only suggestion is, can you down a little the scale of the barometer?. I mean I'm in Bogota, Colombia (2600 m over the sea level) so my barometer is always down before 960 hPa

I like the screenshot but as already said I only get the numbers on bigxies build 4.0.3 and Franco's 12

gpu
folks finding it dont work try switching forced gpu rendering off and then restart the app
seems to be a common fault of bar preasure apps - i tried this out on the app i use on my xoom and that too requres gpu rendering to be switched off.
just a thought

That fixes it for me.

Yeh. My rendering is that way by default.

Thank you for this App.
I also have one suggestion. Could you add a relative height? I mean that it is possible to set the current height as a reference and make the difference visible. Then it would be possible to meassure the approximately height in a big building or an elevator.
I've already done this in my own app and it works great. Unfortunately I couldn't find time to improve my app, it's very simple and not so nice as yours .

I doubt the barometer is precise enough to measure the height of a buiding

Thanks, good app.
Improvment : possibility to compute the QNH (sea level pressure) by adding known altitude (inserting altitude in meters, feet or hPa).

Change the graphic to show stormy/fair weather icons for people like me who don't know what a barometer does or how to read one, relatively. Make it fun!

Great app. I love simple apps!

Barometric pressure alone does not reliably predict the weather.

Lightflow App Drains battery in standby. Petition.

Has anyone figured out how or why Light Flow app drains the battery? And why it turns on handicap accessibility?
It is an awesome app that does not work well with the SGS3. I want to start a petition for us to write an e-mail to the author and let him know we like his app but it does not work well and if he can fix it for the SGS3.

Pretty sure he's already taken the time to post on here and say he's looking into optimising the app for the SGS3.
He's aware of the accessibility issue - but that's not the app faults to a certain degree as other apps that require accessibility trigger the same apparent ICS bug.
I'm sure there'll be an update of some type soon.

How do you know it's draining the battery?
It does not appear in the battery stats?

I wasn't aware he was on these forums and has posted that he's working on an update. Do you know which thread this is? If so that is awesome, as I bought the app Monday but wasn't expecting all these problems.

It doesn't need to. It keeps the CPU awake. I along with other users have been testing our batteries out in the batteries thread general section. Without lightflow my battery life has increased dramatically. The phone could not enter into deep sleep.

I'm using light flow as well and have no problems with GS3 going in to deep sleep. The problem might be one of your apps.

Ah makes so much sense then.
I thought it was somehow the SD card using up more battery as that was the last thing I did to the phone, but at the same time I did install this app.
Battery went from lasting around a day and half with use to about 10 hours.
Thanks for the info.

I did not have the problem with the lite version. When I got the paid version for some reason the problems came up.
Now I am @17 hours with %50 battery.

I've used liteflow since day one on stock Rom without extra battery usage.
I get around 20hrs of battery with moderate usage.

i have had no power issues with light flow, as for accessability issues,
there seems to be a bug with touchwiz, that when accessibility is activated any folders you open you get speech sat "folder open" this happens in a few other areas too
however if you switch your launcher to Apex the problem does not happen, so it is just a touch wiz issue
it also happen if i set accessability for Tasker - so its not a light flow issue

you guys should really look at the S3 properly:
Go the settings.. accessibility and make sure the setting for Light Flow is unticked...
Then go to the app and in general stteing there is a setting called accessibility check...if you make sure this is unticked it works perfectly and there is no annoying voice.
No BUG at all

Not necessarily - this solution is hit and miss.
Its worked for me on one occasion and then when I unticked it from accessibilty etc on a second install attempt, it just didn't work?
There's obviously a clash between, apps that need accessibilty, 4.0.4 and/or Touchwiz.
The dev has already provided links to confirmation that this is a Google issue before the S3 arrived so its not just about 'learning' our S3 better

Why would you want accessibility unchecked? Lightflow needs that to work properly. At install it even tells you to go check it.

[Mod] Increase Max Brightness

WARNING:
Using this mod may decrease battery life, decrease screen life and/or quality, cause overheating, cause your phone to blow up or cause other damage to your phone. Use at your own risk. I am not responsible for any damage this mod causes to your phone.
This Mod will increase the max brightness of your phone by about 10%.
Note:
Auto Brightness must be turned off for this to work.
Root is required for this Mod.
Instructions:
Download and run app attached to this post.
Or. ..
echo 1 > /sys/class/backlight/panel/auto_brightness
If you reboot or enable auto brightness you have to run it again.
The best way to tell if it worked would be to run it when your screen is already at full brightness. You'll see it go a bit brighter.
Tested on T-Mobile Note II, but this may work in many Samsung Galaxy phones.

Seems to have worked, but comparing brightness on one device by eyes is tough. It certainly didn't break anything though!

Is there a way to lower minimum brightness? Cause even at the lowest brightness,its bright as hell

screen filter or root dim work. they place a transparent black overlay on top of the screen and dims everything. works best with oled/amoled screens as the overlay actually lowers the light output where if you were using a traditional led backlight it'll still have the same brightness but the hue of everything would be reduced.

Look for an app called "screen dim"
It lets you take your brightness and contrast down to ZERO.
Caution: can be really hard to see if you do that. I know, I've spent 10 min in a dark closet trying to open the app again after accidentally backing out of the app with the screen all the way down... pm me if you can't find it and I'll get you a copy.

+1 for Galactic. I used this on my old GS2 and loved using the red filter for reading at night. It was less bothersome for my wife and it made me fall asleep easier because it doesn't have any blue wavelengths, which I think I read that it can cause difficulty in sleeping.
Haven't rooted my GN2 yet but glad to hear it works on it.

Thanks a lot! Works great with 4.1.2

iPhone5 is twice as bright as this phone. Nuff said.
Sent from my GT-N7105 using XDA Premium HD app

but I have a Note 2 not an iPhone 5. Personally i think the screen is plenty bright enough. Not trying to troll or nothing, just want to understand better, but i like i said i personally dont see many requests for a brighter screen. how would one benefit from having a screen brighter than the brightest stock setting?

Lower brightness possible?

Good day everyone,
When using my device in low light surroundings, i tend
to experience the brightness as too high, is there any
way of lowering the minimum brightness?
I'm running the note2core std kernel, stock debloated
dlk7 rom (rooted )
I have tried the following with ROM Toolbox pro;
Go to build.prop editor
Found the value "ro.lcd_min_brightness"
Standard value was 20, lowering this number did
nothing for me, i tried 15, 12, 5 and 0..
I have also tried lowering this value whike using
another kernel like stock, redpill and N.E.A.K.
And also not working on stock ROM..
Any ideas?
Thanks a lot
Shoved from my Note 2 straight up XDA's ***

You can download an app to darken the screen. There are numerous different ones so try them out and see which you you prefer. Personally I user Screen Filter https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.haxor

Screen Filter is good, but it doesn't really lower the brightness. It applies a filter which makes the display darker. Any screenshot you take will be darker. But other than that, it's perfect for low light situations

I like this app:
https://play.google.com/store/apps/...251bGwsMSwxLDEsInB0LmJiYXJhby5uaWdodG1vZGUiXQ..

My vote is for Screen Filter. I have used rt every night and every morning for the last 2 years. Never any problems.

Let's change my question;
Is it hardwarewise possible to lower
the minimum brightness? If so, please share

I wondered this too and I'm surprised that there hasn't been a mod/tweak to allow you to get the brightness as low as possible without the use of apps. I've tried everything from editing build.prop to decompiling framework-res.apk, but nothing to seems to really work.

This is likely done on purpose. Imagine the frustration of going outdoors and your screen was set so dim that your phone is useless until you can see enough to raise the brightness.

Nope, lux definitely works by adding a filter in sub-zero mode. Not that this matters except when taking screenshots because as I said before, on an OLED screen this is essentially the same thing. But thanks for the recommendation, lux is a very nice app.

You could try edit the build. prop and set the minimum brightness level to something like 10. By default its 20. Quickest way I use is the build. prop Editor in rom toolbox.

It does has the adaptive brightness feature (move the brightness slider while auto brightness is on) which I find too dim even at high settings. I've been using the Lux Lite app. You can link screen the screen brightness to readings on the ambient light sensor. It has bee working well for me so far.

You can try LUX from Google play.

Both lux and lux lite work well.
My G4 screen brightness does not change when auto is selected and you slide the slider up and down.
Contrary to my nexus 6 in which sliding the brightness slider while auto brightness is active does work. This is called adaptive brightness on the nexus 6 and one thing I really miss on the G4

Ahh okay gotcha. Yeah I've really been enjoying lux it works very good

Auto brightness works well in bright sunlight and medium lit situations (i.e. daylight indoors) but is way too low at night on my unlocked EU version (H815). I currently work around it by setting it to 26% or so and switching auto-brightness off at night.
That's the kind of issue I would expect to get fixed by a fw update in the near future. I might try Lux as well if it bugs me too much.

Try lux lite it works excellent and you can just set it to exactly what you described as your issue... Night time low ambient light. It's funny, I've set lux to put brightness at 26% at night in low light just as you do manually. It's perfect brightness imo.

I noticed that when you're watching a video the screen dims further.. If you acces the quick settings menu the brightness is way brighter and your eyes burst out in flames..

I've noticed that when the ambient light is very low, the adaptive auto brightness stops working altogether, so unless you disable auto brightness and set it manually as someone already mentioned they do, then it will be too dark whatever you set the slider to. If you then make say your TV give off a bit more light (make it full brightness on a white screen for instance) and then you'll see the adaptive slider start working again, but as soon as the ambient light dims again, it stops working..
I can't see why the adaptive brightness would be disabled when the ambient light is low, it should still work, so they should address this in a later fw release as was mentioned as well.

I agree that in low light situations the auto brightness sets the screen too dim. Doubt there'll ever be a "fix". It's been this way since the g3 from my exp. And although we mostly all agree, there are tons of ppl that I know who prefer it this dim, or even dimmer. Some people just have really sensitive eyes I guess and I just can't imagine lg considering this a " bug" rather than a "feature". But I am personally with y'all on this subject of the g4.
I'm using tmo version and u cannot adjust the slider when set to auto. U can set auto off, then increase the slider, and reactivate the auto brightness, but to no prevail. So att users have it better than us even if it makes a subtle difference. Sigh

Be careful with 3rd party brightness apps i had lux and it disabled some buttons.

Lux is a life saver when compared to non configurable factory auto brightness

You can fix that by selecting "Alternate Overlay" in advance setting.

G4'ed it!

I'm a fan of Lux... It gives you so much more control over the brightness setting.

Agreed. Lux makes the G4 auto brightness perfect

You bet! That drove me nuts too! It's actually a safety feature in Android and not a lux "bug" ...
