Hi
I didn't find a good answer to my question on the other threads for x10 mini (e10i)
I found this phone and got rid of the SIM-card. The brightness of the phone is too dark and i can't adjust it!! How does this come?
If the phone boots, the light is bright. But once the OS loads into the memory, the brightness gets dark and i can't get it lighter ( it is already at the maximum brightness if i look into the settings)
What can I do?
Thanks
Stijn

are you using stock rom or custom one?
post details and someone might be able to help you out.
You should turn the phone into your local police station. Its not yours.

please help n sorry if this questions been asked and answered before. this forum is getting too big and broad sometimes to find anything
thx in advance
Have you tried Sparepart? (That's the name)
Strange, i can't seem to turn on my autobrightness. It used to work perfectly in android 1.6. And i haven't noticed it untill recently. When auto brightness is checked, it just stays the same, even when i hold it directly under a lamp. Maby there is a bug in the software that prevents switching it on or off?
I'd also like an answer to this problem, because with auto brightness on the telephone is a battery eater.. you have to keep it to the minimum level to disable it, but when you are under a strong light, like outdoor with a sunny weather, it's difficult to see your screen's details. as you select a brightness level different from zero, the autobrightness turns on and eats the battery.
I hope I'm missing the solution to this, and somebody will help, because all the applications i've tried (spareparts included) didn't worked.
I'm quite confuse now.....
What actually do we need......
Turn it on...
or
Turn it off...
LOL
heh, so some people want a way to turn it off and others, like me, want to find a way to turn it on?
what a crazy phone..
I'm sure there used to be a tick box in the display settings to turn on/off the auto brightness. Anyway, i've tried various applications myself to get it on but nothing does it. I think the best solution is for us all to swap phones .
Spare Parts doesn't work for me, i tried enabling it, restarting the phone and jumping under my duvet.. but it didn't change
Did you update to 2.1? It was disabled in 2.1 as far as I know.
So the easiest solution, upgrade to 2.1! Else, I don't remember the menu but it's somewhere in the settings under 1.6.
I think we've all updated to 2.1 here =)
and yes, in 1.6 there was a box to tick to unable/disable autobrightness.
But, in 2.1, this feature has disappeared, leaving a seekbar and a damned widget which doesn't allow you to set or no autobrightness.
Hi,
The autobrightness is still there. It can be turned on/of from a stock SE connection widget. The different state for brightness is "minimum" -> "auto" -> "maximum"

Thats pretty much, exactly, what dpk0875 said, if i'm not mistaken.

I can get, either 0%, or 100% brightness, with the ambient sensor disabled. Anything in-between, fades constantly.
No fix for this, i presume?
Reading websites while the screen fades in/out every couple of seconds drives me mad.
Ive never had any problem with it as long as you dont lean in front of it all the time lol.

I use wolf rom v3.8 and auto brightness function don't work. I checked other roms and it was the same. How can I turn it on?
u cant turn it on i think u need to try with power widget ..that has the auto brightness option ..works for me though, should for u too !!
Thank me if it worked !!
I used a lot of different power widgets and they show auto brightness icon, but nothing changes. Android Assistant widget has list of sensors available in phone and under Light Sensor I have: not support? wtf?
with power widget

Lesmian, why don't you try ewjet rom? So far is the best rom out there.. smoother and faster and works flawlessly, including auto brightness feature.
Is auto brightness not working at all or you just cant find the option for it? Mine works fine but no option to enable or disable.

autobrightness always was VERY subtle on my x10i, it even works "better" on my ZTE Blade, so you may just not see it, the only time i really noticed it was when i was reading on the train and drove through a tunnel.

Hmm. Maybe its true that just not see it. But I did a couple of tests. I lower my brightness and then I put phone under lamp. Nothing changes. Then I increased brightness and cover sensor with my finger, still nothing changes. ;/
Did you read the FAQ section? LOL

If you mean wolf rom FAQ section I read it. And it says that auto brightness works with power control widget. I used it and it doesn't work with my phone. Btw I don't know why you LOL? I did something wrong?
Auto Brightness
I may be able to add some insight into our auto brightness problem. I know it was disabled in 2.1 apparently. First question does anyone know if it was enabled in 2.3.3?
I am currently running a generic X10i with Virgin WB 4.0.4 ROM and DooM Kernel v04b. I use Juice Ultimate Beta v3.6.6. There is a brightness control in JD and I have noticed that on my phone it says brightness sensor unavailable.
The other thought I have is that maybe it is available in x10a's and not x10i's. This may explain the wide variations in people who have it working and people who don't. I have also tried the second step (e.g. larger cirle icon) of the brightness widget in WB's rom which is mentioned in the ROM thread that didn't enable auto brightness. My phone came with 2.1 installed and I have never had auto brightness. This may also be another reason.
I might try and flash 1.6 if I can find it and see what happens. Can anyone think of a reason why I shouldn't try this. I assume I would need to flash a 1.6 basband first.
Any more thoughts would be appreciated.
Got my Mini Pro yesterday, but is it just me or is the screen not that bright even on max brightness?
I have an old Samsung C3050 here and that thing melts my eyes its that bight, the mini i can hardly see outside.
Also, there is no auto brightness option!
I think auto brightness is on by default

Nope, not that i can see anyway
auto-brightness is always on, you can not disable it afaik.
Had a fiddle and ive seen the brightness go up on its own, but is there a way to get max brightness all the time?

Well I bought a new Neo v, its almost a month.
What I have noticed is the default color temperature is set slightly warmer. If you compare the phone to any other screen you will see white appears to have slight tint of yellow.
I am not the only one who has reported this, here is a link
http://communities-origin.sonyericsson.com/message/143398
Is there any way I can fix this? As a designer this is irritating.
Cheers.
You can try the disable auto brightness app [root], so you set the brightness higher. Black looks much better then. Maybe this works too, I haven't tried it.
I think it's a choice Sony made, to make the colours more natural, but less saturated.

Thanks,
Brightness had no effect but the app you attached really helped
Wondering if there is any permanent solution to this, app has an icon on top notification bar which is not very desirable

It was the first app I found, there will be at least 2 other apps that can do this. Also beware: Some of these screen filter apps have the effect that you can't click install when opening an apk file. Disable the app and it should work. Had a hard time with that
Is there a firmware solution to this problem?
Is it more of a screen defect or a firmware color temperature setting? If later then can I make changes to make it more natural. Yellow is kind of getting irritating now!
Those filters are no good for permanent solution.
i had your problem earlier when i bought my Neo,its like burn in my eyes...brightness already set to maximum but its not so maximum....not like what i want...so i change to custom rom,and there you go...brightness control just 1/2 of bar,enough for me and yellow,red,green colour not so burning...of coz its still there, its bravia engine and its acceptable...
sory for my english
Hmm well I compared my phone to another Neo V which was bought from India. Even at lower brightness White looks white but for me it looks little yellow.
As somebody mentioned its because my phone was manufactured for other region where they set the color temp little warmer. If there was a way to set to Neutral nothing like it
I upgraded to ICS thinking it will fix or reset it. But in vain.
In my opinion, it seems to be a hardware problem, I do not have to do with the software. Hopefully you fix ...
Hi all!
I bought the xperia u yesterday and there seems to be a problem somewhere (i wish it's not a hardware kind).
The small notification LED next to the front camera IS working but the light isn't that bright. I did the test run, the LED is working but the light is just weak
What should i do?
This is my main issue with the phone next to the small internal memory. My X10 mini pro's led is easily noticable from a distance but with this one you actually have to be at 50cm or closer to be able to see it. Makes the fact that the led bar can't be used for notifications even more annoying.
I think the code/SDK or whatever which controls the ledbar is available to developers, the app XSLights can already mess with it a bit, so we can only hope someone finds a way to allow the ledbar to be used for notifications. Maybe via a Tasker script or something like that. Flash every 30 seconds or something wouldn't be draining the battery too much I'd think.
Maybe flashing a custom rom/kernel solves that problem but I'm with the default ones at the moment.
But having the LED bar flashing for notifications would be sweet
I'll see what I can do about it probably only one value for the LED to edit
The LED from Xperia S also isn't really bright
XS led seems fine to me.
XS led is ok, but not really bright

Hi guys,
well, I'm posting here because it seems there is no solution for the above mentioned problem.
I'm currently on STE CM11 (weekly 21) and couldn't find a way to make the notification LED brighter (more visible).
Is there a specific value I must alert? Anyone knows how to make the LED more visible?
p.s. I'm not talking about the illumination bar
