Light Sensor too slow to adjust - T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II

My new GN2 screen is very slow to brighten up. I have to usually face the screen in bright light to get it to adjust. Is this normal?

I just get the GN2 and I noticed that too. I solved this issue by using the app Lux Auto Brightness.

Screen fade?

I have a question in regards to the screen dimming feature. So for example when the screen dims after 30 seconds of inactivity or however long each of you have it. Has anyone noticed that the fade from high to low looks choppy it doesn't seem fluid it kind of stutters to the lower brightness right before the screen turns off. Is this normal.

this is what i meant
Go to settings display auto adjust screen tone and make sure its not checked that should fix it.

I think that is caused when you have it set to scan your eye movements to detect you reading before turning off screen. Its in your settings airborne, GREEN LIGHT, GO

when you are in well lighted room, led is brighter, when you are in dark room- led is less bright. Same technique as for auto brightness
But that led is constantly on Strange
Is that not the proximity sensor? I'm guessing it uses some forms of IR for detection so will always be on. .. is normal, don't worry
I just wanna confirm that do everybody has git that or is that only me with that ?
Proximity sensor. Disable 'quick glance' and it won't stay on all the time.

Is it true that the notification led becomes brighter with more room lite and dimmer in darker rooms?

Well yes, post #2 just mentioned that.

LED brightness

I'm stock rooted. I've noticed that my red charge light randomly gets dimmer until I wake the phone. I put it back to sleep and it's normal. Has anyone else seen this.

If your in a bright area the led will be brighter and vice versa, I believe it uses 1 of the sensors to detect how bright it is.

Even with auto-brightness off?

Yes it just changes the led not the screen brightness.

I guess I thought it was a problem with my phone, but I shined a flash light on and off at the light sensor and the charge light changed with it. Thanks for the input.

SCREEN FILTER: Dim/Darken Screen app

I read this up yesterday and wanted to post it here too for those who don't know about the app yet. "Smart Filter".
This app is magnificient in that it doesn't tweak hardware functions, but it applies a dark layer. Thus making it work wonderfully with the OLED screens (Apparantly OLED can only be dimmed to a certain extent).
This app is fantastic for reading, viewing videos or taking notes at night. Also awesome for using your phone in the theatres (I guess?).
Once again, app is called: Screen Filter

i use this app alot. great one because i too could not figure out how to lower the brightness.
Thanks for sharing!
I have tried many screen filter apps, and to this day, none have come close to Lux Auto Brightness.

Does Lux apply
a filter as well? The only down side I can think of with the filter method is that it doesn't really save battery (in comparison to actually emitting less light).

I dont think it applies a filter. I think it allows you to go below stock settings.

[Request] Decrease minimum brightness level.

I watch TV on my note 2 at night moat nights with pretty much no lighting anywhere near me and the screen just seems to bright sometimes. Is there a way to decrease the values? Does something like this already exist or can someone create something like this? I have seen mods that allow the increase of brightness but none to decrease it.
Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.

Take a look at Lux Auto Brightness in Market... it has capability to use sub zero brightness for low light viewing
There are also screen filter apps that apply a transparent shade over the screen. I use lux, its great, but can be a pain to set up if you use auto brightness at all.

Screen filter is amazing. 23.5% works fine for me

There is an app called "Night Mode" it's simple to use and has worked better for me than the other screen filter apps like lux and others.
