Is there auto brightness for LG P500 ??
Sent from my LG-P500 using XDA Premium App
Yes - if you manage to solder the needed sensor to PCB.
No light ambient sensor on LG Optimus One so NOPE!
Then is any application which will make brightness adjustment according to surrounding light intensity

Pardon me, but apparently you did not get the point?
An application needs a sensor to work with!!! You have no sensor -> the application is useless!

"adjustment according to surrounding light intensity" No. But you can manually increase and decrease by adding Power Management Widget on your home screen. That's the best thing you can do and I do the same Hope this helped!

Also check Elixir... pretty cool. The brightness steps can be completely customized there.
It does exist an app that acts as a light sensor... its called "Ambient Light Sensor"
https://market.android.com/details?id=org.pbxes.light2
It uses back camera to adjust brightness... it doesnt drains battery because it only perform checks when the phone screen is turned on (ie. after unlock)
Altough it doesnt work as well as advertised... sometimes works and sometimes it simply doesnt do his job.
YMMV
I recall using v1.6 and its wierd because it worked better than the new one, but it was more prone to crashes
good luck

That must have amazing functionality with the "high quality" P500 camera. I guess it sets brightness to 0% at night and to 100% for the rest of the time.

BTW, i find P500 camera very good ( for being an 3.2MPX snapper)( since i changed to LGCamera APP or Camera360), it takes good shots, very good color representing and little noise... its just 3.2MPX, but i'm not a pro photographer and i just dont need a 32432432x123213 pics.... just my 0.02

OK... Time to see your ophthalmologist, and you'd better hurry up.
well... the auto bright could be based on hour... when day is full bright, when night low bright...

@ lostsoul_msh: good suggestion!!! I used to do this, nowadays i just keep my brightness at minimum, i think i'm used to it now ... dunno if this will be harmful for my eyes, [OT ]maybe doktornotor is right after all, who knows....... [OT]
EDIT1: After rooting and installing franco.kernel i can confirm the last version is working like a charm, and tested in many environments with different light conditions... CAN O1 haz ambient light sensor, yes WE Can...

so... that's a good question: is there any app that can change the brightness according to time? for example: 7-9AM = 25%; 10-12AM = 50%; 13-17PM = 75%; 18-20PM = 50%; 21-23PM = 25%; 0-6AM = 10% ... i think that's an oportunity for developers to create an app to solve this problem! what do you think? peace!

Instead you can just reduce the brightness yourself as per your needs using the power widget. Suppose you're using an app as you mentioned and you're in a very bright place at around 9 AM (it is pretty bright at even 7 AM here in India). Then the brightness would be 25% and the sunlight visibilty of your phone would be pathetic. You may need to again manually increase the brightness. So there is almost no point for an app like that, IMHO.

In CM7 you can just slide your finger over notification bar and change brightness accordingly in a heart beat. No need for widget.

Hey xda,
I'm curious as to what you all use for your screen brightness settings. For the duration of my ownership of the fascinate, I've kept it at the lowest possible setting. I'm wondering if that's really doing that much for my battery life. I'm contemplating turning it to auto.
What do you guys think about screen brightness as it compares to battery life. Is the screen not lit with LEDs? If I'm not mistaken, a typical LED could run for like 40 years on a single AA battery.
I am on auto with GPS, Data, and sync on all time. I use it pretty heavily I would say. Nothing like hours at a time but 15 min here, 5 there, 10 there. I get about 16 - 18 hours out of my phone.

Thanks for the reply. I was wondering if I should keep GPS on too. I mean as long as I'm not actively using it for navigation, is it really going to be draining any battery life?

I keep all but wifi on w/ brightness varying bc im outside a lot. Im seeing 24 hours minimum w jt's aosp w nextheme. I use my phone for everything.
If forget to leave the brightness up all d way, i notice a huge difference. These are a little different that an LED and a double A my friend.

Thanks for the response. So what you're saying is you leave the brightness high, but you know that's detrimental to your battery life?

Yep...but i'll sacrifice in favor of beauty for a loss of thirty min. Of use
how long an LED runs on a AA depends, some might run a day (not 40 years), others less than an hour, and the most powerful ones need multiple D batteries just to turn on. these phones have a SAMOLED screen, broken down into: Super Active Matrix Organic Light Emitting Diode. the important part here is the organic. instead of having a single, or a few LEDs behind or around the screen, the screen uses an organic (not organic like the meaningless buzzword, but no ****, it's organic cells) compound for each colour. these organic compounds produce light when electrically charged, and only when a colour is displayed. this gives you the possibility of a truly infinite contrast ratio, and brilliantly rich colours.
I leave mine on auto.
Was using the lowest setting, but I'm now using auto setting.
I normally have it at its lowest setting unless I'm outside. I used to have it on auto, but it didn't work exactly like I wanted. Now that the notification bar brightness feature was added with Froyo, I just use that to adjust the brightness without having to open up settings.
As long as you don't have the screen on for minutes at a time, the difference between automatic brightness and the lowest setting is minimal. I switch to automatic for days that I tend to be outside a lot, but I normally leave it on the lowest setting because I occasionally go on binges where I read the news when I'm bored. If I don't do that too much and don't have any phone calls that last over 15+ minutes then I get about 48 hours of battery life on JT's AOSP ROM.

The screen dims and changes brightness by itself so much I am contemplating just turning it up and leaving it.
Any thoughts to this, and does it drain your battery super quick?
Seems a waste of the SLCD 2 to have so dim and changing brightness all the time

If you plan on disabling brightness just keep in mind if your an outdoors user or indoors user, the lighting around you will play a key roll on what levels of lighting you decide to have.
Personally I have the Automatic setting enabled, but I keep a widget (via widgetsoid) handy so I can disable it when I want and how I want on the fly.

Max brightness will definitely have an adverse effect on batt life. I personally keep mine at about 40% which is fine except when im in direct sunlight.

I know what you mean, I tried doing the same because I got sick of the brightness changes all the time, but after a couple of days having to adjust it myself or compromise on batt life, I decided to go back to Automatic settings... In my life I go to much outdoors as I can spend hole days indoors its what ever happens, happens so I decided to stick with the annoying setting other than being annoyed by having to set it myself.
Screen brightness is the biggest contributor to battery drain. I keep mine as dim as possible at all times. I've unfortunately become quite OCD about it.

I'm the same way. But the problem I have with this phone is that the more dimmer I make it, the more uglier the whites become (which I have become OCD about).
So I have double OCD working against each other and my brain is going to explode. That is all. Carry on.
Ok; the phone has been out a few months. Anyone's opinions changed?
I generally keep screen auto-brightness OFF, and set it to about 60% to 70% brightness static. When plugged into power to watch video, I go to 100%.

+1 for Auto and a widget. Most of my use happens at the extremes - OFF or 100%, so this provides easy switching.
I keep mine down around 10%, and only use autobrightness when outdoors
I found a thread on hacking auto brightness values to save battery life. In the process I noticed my light sensor's lowest value is higher than HTC's first few values in the stock auto brightness array. This means my EvoLTE doesn't even use the lowest couple of auto brightness steps because the sensor never reads that low.
That got me wondering whether my phone was defective or if this is normal.
The lowest value my sensor will return is 90. I would love to have a few people install the "AndroSensor" app from the market, cover up their light sensor (top left bezel area), and give me their light sensor number reading. Thanks in advance!

Same here.
Thanks for the quick replies! So it seems this is more a software calibration issue than a hardware problem. ROM developers can easily work around this in their auto brightness arrays by considering 90 as the floor and working up from there.
What are you folks using to read this value?

At certain times the brightness of my phone just decreases and stays that way so that even at 100%, it is fairly dim. Autobrightness is turned off, is this a software "feature" or hardware defect? Also brightness will stay what i set it as after i lock and unlock the phone in terms of the setting, but the screen will not follow the setting unless i click on it again.
If you are using the phone in direct sunlight then you want to turn on auto brightness. The phone has 900 nits of brightness but won't go to its highest setting (even at 100%) unless auto brightness is ticked.

I think I've noticed the same on my phone lately. My 100% isn't the usual 100% sometimes. I tried the LCD 250 trick yesterday but it is too soon to tell if it works or not. This is probably the phone limiting the brightness to reduce heat, the question is why it doesn't show on the brightness bar (it satys 100%, a less brightened 100% than before).
That could be true to reduce heat, but my phone is not hot in the slightest when this happens.

Anyone else having problems with automatic brightness changes?
Every evening when it gets dark the brightness level goes to the lowest level, which is much to dark to read anything. Every evening I have to adjust the ''automatic'' level to halfway the level-slider, multiple times.
Do you have night mode enabled ?
I have this feature enabled from 9pm to 7am and indeed the auto brightness goes lower than normal value during this time slot .

The same is happening to me. The brightness of the screen in darker lights is too low. Every time I move the slider to upper brightness but next time I open the screen is lower again.

I might state the obvious, but the sensor is a bit high up on the device and it might be covered by your phone case, u sure it's not just a goof with an off brand cover?
The sensor is not covered. I use an original OnePlus cover.
Strange thing ... Everybody or at least majority of Oneplus Nord 2 owners had complained about automatic brightness . It's true in my case as well but now problem is solved with a 3-d party apk . Velis Auto Brightness from G.Play . Calibrating autobrightness is very accurate but the app remain active in background all the time and I didn't know how this affect battery drain . I read all OnePlus latest phones have this annoying bug and it's pitty none of latest updates solved it , worst here on XDA or OnePlus forum no one offer any solutions to calibrate automatic brightness .
Some smart guys said there is not "automatic brightness" but "adaptive brightness" so we had to learn phone AI how to adjust brightness a few days and then restart the phone . This are childish thoughts of those which are nothing to do else .
So , what do you think about this ? There are solutions to calibrate or fix this issue ?
I noticed that when the phone is on below 15% or lower and the battery saver is on ( for me it's 10%) the phone brightness goes to automatic mode and it becomes even less bright. I think it has to be a certain feature which is connected to battery saving IMO.
I'm using Velis for 3 months as well. This solves the problem. But OnePlus definitely should solve this.
Even latest update v11.3 EU, doesn't solve it. I even did a factory reset. 3 hours work to reset everything back as is was, for nothing...
Look at a possible solution (for me didn't work) :

FYI: I did this a few minutes ago. I think that may be it. Before I did this, the screen brightness did not work at all. I could slide that slider up and down and nothing ever changed on screen brightness, auto or manual. Now it works! On auto and manual!
Hopefully this is the "fix"! But disabling a feature is NOT a fix, it's a workaround. Luckily I don't need that feature

So far the screen brightness has not faded into darkness. Phone is working fine now. This is a workaround that works.
