Is there any way to increase the backlight further, because screen is not bright enough even when set to max. Maybe some registry hacks?..
I think this is possible, because if you guys had noticed, that when you start the 'Camera' app, the brightness increases a bit even when it was already set to max.
Even my previous Nokia 3100's screen is brighter (shame), so any suggestions would be appreciated. Thnx in advance..
Well, can't anyone help me?? (Even the experts??)
It's probably not possible to make it brighter. I think what you see with the camera is an illusion because it changes the LCD contrast/bright level, not the backlight level. It's not logical to think that the backlight is purposely limited to be less bright than it truly is.
That may be why there are no responses.
Well actually there's a response, since you're using the WM2003-SE it will decrease the brightness as I noticed from several flashing and I'm very aware of that and sensitive about this case. Further more, from couple minutes when I downgraded from 1.72.00 to version 1.66.00 WWE, it decreased as well, so if you flash back to 1.72.00 you'll notice the screen is much brighter than the WM2003 SE and the 1.66.00, I want to add something else. HTC released two type of Himalaya which is different in the Screen type and the flat cable socket. New releases are brighter than the predecessors.
a quick reply, adjusting brightness will also decreases the battery.
a big big diff.

I've done a search and it produced no results at least nothing relevant.
I'm wondering what people are using for their custom Light Levels in CM7.
Auto typically, but in my office I find it too dark... so I use 40%. I've got brightness (all of them) in the notification dropdown.... removed bluetooth and gps (pointless).
I have not done any of the screen rendering...
That's the same issue that I've had as well. I suppose it's partially due to my eyes being so accustom to the bright colors from the standard 2.2 ROMs. I'll look at tweaking it a bit. I don't mind the screen not being as bright as it was before, but it stays rather dim and becomes slightly hard to read at times.
I've searched long and at any places, but nowhere was an answer. Everybody goes crazy if we talk about sensitivity, but what are the benefits of a higher sensitivity really?
I mean, here on mother earth, you can't get something better, without decreasing other features...
So if i turn the sensitivity higher (or lower), i mean if its more precise... Where are the disadvantages?
Higher battery drain?
Please help me to understand
I you slide you finger over the screen it takes a small distance before the phone reactes and moves the part of the display. Try it and you will notice this small distance on the homescreen. It is like a dead zone where you move your finger but nothing happens.
With the toch sensitivity fixes or apps or scripts you can decrease this distance to 0 or any other value. I think a value around 5 is quite common. I am not sure but I thought 15 is default, so you usually want to decrease it.
A disadvatage is, that if you set it too low, the phone might recognize klicks a swipes.

That was the answer i wanted! Thank you!
On some older kernels, when your phone is on ac power, the screen becomes very unresponsive. That's why people came up with the need to change the touch sensitivity.

Ok i wanted to start new thread with this issue
got a question about the screen. Some times I can sense and see that despite of auto brightness off that the screen adjusts its brightness by itself. It is a little change but my sharp eyes can see this... Do you have a similar thing?
I can easly notice this when playing my country game. When I click on the building menu the screen gets brighter. When i cancel the menu the screen makes darker
Also in sprinkle when I use water the screen gets little brighter
I think this is because the Tegra 3 (or ASUS's implementation of it) adjusts contrast to conserve power. The changes in contrast make brightness seem to change.
I think their settings are too aggressive and they should either scale them back or add an option to turn it off, if possible. I'm sure it's nice for battery life but it does (in some very specific instances) seem to impact the experience.
Note: this is not a doom-and-gloom post. The Prime's screen performance is the best I've ever experienced on a mobile device, maybe any device, overall. So this is a bit of a nuisance but nowhere near enough for me to have an inkling of regret about buying the Prime.
This only happens on mine while in power saving mode.

I'm not sure, I'll have to do some more testing. I seem to remember it happening across the board.
I'll note that Battery mode really does make a HUGE difference in the screen's performance. Colors become very washed out, so much so that I'm really surprised by the impact.
Well in my case this thing occurs on every mode with the same strenght... That sucks
so anyone of you can confirm if this is normal? Do you have the same isue on your primes?
It seems the light sensor has high resolution and Asus needs to smooth up a bit the auto-brightness algorithms If your screen goes up and down then simply disable auto-brightness or change lightning conditions

Like i said auto brightness is off. Can anyone install my country and check his out for me? Just enter build menu and chec if the screen gets a little brighter
it has nothing to do with auto-brightness... Its a feature of tegra 3, it can change the brightness of each pixel to give you the best image and use the least amount of power.. unfortunately its just annoying and not implemented well.
And you cannot turn it off.
Ya I noticed this too last night and thought that I had a defective screen. Made a thread about it earlier. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1421002

I should b off in perormnce mode. I understand this feature in saving power mode but not on others two. I hope it will be changed
Hello,
theres a bug in automatic brightness: if you turn it on and hold it against the sun the brightness will go to maximum but it won't get back (darker).

I can't help myself, 3 thanks virgins in 2 days!!!! Owned!!!! last time I held something up to the sun it melted. Its kinda hot!!!!........
Ok in all seriousness I have not had this issue....did you try rebooting your prime? I have noticed some hicups from time to time, like touch tones stop working....but if I reboot it will work again. I am sure its just the newness of ICS, these things will get ironed out in time.
I leave it off anyways. Its a known automatic brightness is a battery drainer. You'll get better battery life with it off.

I think this is more of a feature than a bug, although I keep mine at one certain level anyway.
It's to give you a more seamless experience, as soon as the screen goes off and back on it adjusts. It's so when you're reading an article and move from one area to another, you don't get a surprise mid-sentence. I always hated reading things off my phone with auto brightness on, couldn't just focus on the words had to keep tripping up on a constantly changing screen.
With sun i meant that you can hold it against a bright light
Sry for my bad english...
I've actually noticed some differences in the sensitivity of the light sensor on various units. Some do seem to get "stuck," where others maintain an accurate measurement of ambient light. This seems to be correlated to newer units (e.g., C1 units).
The one I'm using right now does switch lighting both more quickly and, it would seem, more accurately. The ones I had previously would get stuck either on high or low brightness (with very little adjustment in between), and I needed to toggle the auto brightness button to get them to adjust to new conditions.
I found auto brightness on the device to be an annoying burden if anything. I just keep it pretty low all the time. Better that way anyways.
Same problem here - The brightness goes up under bright light, and won't readjust until the next screen off/on or reboot.
Does anyone have a Prime that adjusts back down without turning the screen off?
I swear it's intentional and not a bug, although they should offer you the option of controlling its parameters. Just have to wait for the unlocker and some custom ROMage.
But seriously, I think it's to keep a continuity in your current session, so that if you're gaming or working (the two things this tablet's for) you're not plagued by an ever-changing screen that distracts you...

I can see how the concept of continuity can be good. But in my case for example, switching the bedroom light on - followed by a certain increase of brightness on ATP - then switch the bedroom light off to go to bed - the persistent brightness (tested for >15mins) can be a little straining on the eyes. Although readjusting the brightness is as simple as 'clicking' the 'auto' icon on/off again so that the brightness comes down to appropriate level (it only takes 2seconds to do it) - I think this is defeating the purpose of having the auto-brightness setting in the first place.

Oh I whole-heartedly agree. Going from my living room anywhere else in the house causes blindness with auto brightness on. And it acts completely opposite on this device than all others I've touched that use the feature. And like you say, if it's "automatic brightness" then why would it not be totally automated?
I'm just saying there's definite reasoning and programming behind it, it's not just some bug per se.
Therefore, don't expect ASUS to do anything about it, it'll all be up to our wonderful dev's here; they'll say it's properly functioning even though it's bass ackwards from everything else in existence.
Hello everyone.. You might have that problem where your phone's screen (probably a samsung phone) flickers and goes crazy in low brightness settings.. I've done a lot of searching about the problem or a possible solution. The only working solution I've encountered, which is a software one and requires root, is setting the brightness slider on the lowest point that doesn't cause flickering, then, applying a black overlay to lessen the brightness. I'm wondering about the brightness control mechanism... is it based on hardware and software mechanisms?(case1*) or based on hardware only? (Case2*) In case 2: at least we can adjust the minimum current the phone delivers to the display in order to disable brightness settings that cause flickering. In case 1: we would do as suggested in *case1, plus, we would let the software mechanism kick in to lower the brightness when the hardware mechanism is delivering the lowest amount of current that doesn't cause flickering. It's just an idea.. applying it might be as easy as changing some values in the phone os somewhere or flashing a custom kernel!. But finding that change is what i don't seem to have a clue about.. I have a SGS 5 mini duos.. but i think it doesn't matter as the problem presists in other models (S5, J7) I hope I'm posting in the right forum And i hope someone will figure out a better solution and thanks for reading
Up..
