How to enable auto brightness on Xperia Ray?

I found that Xperia Ray have Ambient light sensor from the white paper, but i can't use it on stock roms or CM7, can someone enable this?
this is the link of white paper
http://dl-www.sonyericsson.com/cws/download/1/997/193/1308295710/ray_WP_1.pdf
thanks!
Good question!
I also found in the whitepapers that the Xperia mini pro (sk71i) has the same ambient light sensor but when I check with android tools like "Sensor List" the only thing that could match is the Proximity sensor. That one goes from 1 to 0 if you get close to the top (blocking the light?).
APDS9702 Proximity
The sensor is enabled by default
how? i can't feel that
With my HTC Desire Z I had the "auto brightness" option. On this one I don't. Are you sure it is enabled? Do you have any clue what sensor it would be in the list of for example android app "sensors list".

As of Stock Rom 2.3.3 and 2.3.4 there is no 'auto brightness' option.
But the ambient light sensor is always working.
If you take it outside in bright sunlight, you will notice that the screen automatically gets brighter. That's how you can tell the sensor is always on
I assume they haven't put auto brightness in as a feature because maybe some people want to save battery/adjust their screen brightness for indoor use.
But when the surrounding light passes some threshold (ie, outside), the auto brightness feature overrides your user settings...
thanks.....so, can i make a option for this?

No, there's no select-able option for it. It's always on.
check "brightness level" widget in android market. I just added to my desktop and it has an autolevel option. Seems to work. But I can't say if it's really off when you select only a percentage.
LOL! Check some of the newer topics. Many users want to disable the auto brightness. The topics have some info for rooted users. But as said it seems to be enabled by default.
It's not linked to the 2.3.3 update though. My desire Z also had that Android version and still provided the auto brightness option in the display menu.
It also seems to be the reason of the flickering screen on low backlight setting. That is in fact annoying.
So, how can i disable the sensor? I want my screen always to be bright, i hate this auto adjusting

Thanks. I wanna keep my warranty though
If there is a light sensor on my ray then it must be disabled.
Mine does not react to any changes in light at all - even if I manually cover the whole of the top of my phone in my fist.
I also find that the screen is odd outside in the sun. It looks exactly the same if it's set to 25% brightness or 100% brightness (both are just as easy to see). I can only notice a difference in brightness when i'm indoors or if it's dull and cloudy.
FYI i'm on 4.0.A.2.368 - 2.3.3

Screen Auto Brightness is not working on my Xperia Ray too.. I don't know why this feature was disabled... I tested light sensor and that works but brightness never changes... Is it because of old 2.3.3 firmware i have ? I didn't update to latest yet..
I don't know if it's just me but sometimes my screen kind of flickering.
Is it true that it's because of the light sensor just too sensitive?

For me,Xperia Ray owner are very lucky.
Because the light sensor is implemented very bad on Xperia Mini for example.
The screen flickering and your eyes cry. : (

Yes,is a very boring problem.
The Xperia Mini has two big problem.
-Touchscreen lag
-Flickering screen
Check out this post on the Xperia Arc - works great just the same for the Xperia Ray. Also the linked program well depicts the relation ambient light value, brightness setting and the resulting screen brightness.

Ehnhance maximum brightness

Guys as you know, Xperia neo's brightness (maximum) is very low compared to ARc or even X10 mini pro. My mini pro at 50% is equal to the 100% brightness of my Neo. Is there any trick or hack or whatever it is to increase the brightness above 100%? Something to override the maximum brightness? The screen is annoying under the factory set max brightness as the white colored pages look yellowish.
Is there some way to increase the brightness beyond the factory settings?

SuperDIM only lets the brightness go below the minimum, not higher than the maximum on stock.
I agree with genothampi ,the brightness in NEO V is very low compared to my X10 , there should be a way to increase the brightness higher than the maximum on stock or maybe the devs find a solution for that .
happy new year to every one
The MIUI ROM apparently does increase the brightness upto a crazy amount xD
Try it :
Should be ported to Stock
you use the light sensor of the phone? on my xperia neo I have disabled the sensor light (root+Disable Auto Brightness PLAY) and now the screen is beautiful, too bright. the Brightness options (in display) I have put in 60%, and still bright

first I have modified the file hw_config.sh using root explorer, but I don't liked, because when I turn on the phone in a dark place the screen was dark, then I had to turn on the phone always in a bright place
now I use a app, Disable Auto Brightness (PLAY) and works perfect now, when I turn on my xperia neo the app disable the sensor light and the screen stay maximum brightness
anything, just ask.

I have already fixed the brightness on my rooted Neo V using the app ( disable auto brightness ) but my question to you is , would you port the hw_config.sh from the s.e tweaked Rom since you are saying that the light sensor disabled by default , so this way we can apply that to the ROM and no need to install the ( disable auto brightness ) .
thanks in advance

or you can try disable sensor for free with method used in this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1426948
I have bought Hatcyl's app but I like more this free method, because it has lower minumum brightness which is important if you want good battery life.

Neo V ~Flickering Screen

As the title says my screen brightness flickers :O
Is it a big problem ??!?! :O
Usually happens when on low brightness.. the brightness flickers for a few seconds !
Im scared
Hardware issue ??
Thanks for all your replies in advance
Yeah, I got the same problem with mine xperia neo v...
I think ambient light sensor is calibrating or something... I got that flickering around 1 time in day.
Same problem here...on low brightness...
So i'm not the only one facing the issue
Happens only once in a day so it could be what armando101 said
Thanks
it is caused by fluorescent light sources. You can see them flicker too when you capture it with a camera:
Action at 0:40
Phew
Thought something was wrong with my phones LCD
Thanks mate
If you're annoyed by this, try installing SuperDim from the Market. It can lock brightness levels. You need root, through.
Also, don't set the brightness too low with SuperDim or the screen won't turn on when you unlock the phone.
I can confirm that this happens when the light sensor adjusts the screen brightness. If you go to Settings > Screen > Screen brightness, and here set it to max, you will disable the auto brightness feature and the flickering should stop. It will have negative effect on your battery performance though.

Is it caused by the effect I showed in post #5?

im not really sure for my answer, but try it, just remove the auto brightness, because sometimes the sensor are to much sensitive when it become dimmed in the area. just try it nothing will lose if you will try, but you will gain more....
Oh cool
Thanks

how will you disable the auto brightness without having to root the phone?
You can't disable auto brightness without root.
Anyways the app is here: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.hatcyl.android.Disable_Auto_Brightness&hl=en
I'm using it mainly for games. Really annoying when the screen dims just because your hand covers the light sensor.

Light sensor in mini pro - what the hell is this?

can anyone tell me what the duck is that thing installed in my mini pro that is supposed to be a light sensor? it does control the brightness level depending on ambient light, but it doesn't work with apps that allow you to change brightness according to your own rules. I've tried Lux Auto Brightness and it acts as if the phone didn't have any light sensor, but when I go to service menu and test the sensor, it does react. so what's going on there?
Sloppy implementation, I guess.
Why are you trying to use third-party software for it?
Most of 3rd party test service shows LIGHT SENSOR,the mini pro have AMBIENT LIGHT SENSOR.Both act same,but different driver and name

I have a feeling that Lux does better job (even though I set it to measure light via front cam).

[Q][U] Auto Brightness

Hi.
Could it be that auto brightness feature isn't working properly on XU?
I have a feeling display always has same brightness regardless light or daylight or night.
Is there a way to test the sensor?
Thx
Yep, put your brightennes to 50% and then light your sensor with sone light or lighter close enought, sensor from your left side of speaker.
P.S as far as i noticed on this xperia sensor work only to get your screen more brightennes and not to reduce it

You its working I tried a sensor control aplication(i dont rember the app name but it is controledy phone when I moved my hand upper the sensor)

The sensor works, the autobrightness no
Sent from my ST25i using xda app-developers app
Autobrightness works fine, Sony just implements it differently. Choose a brightness level, now this brightness is going to be the minimum the screen will go to. If you go outside or are in a room with bright light it will adjust by raising the level but never go below the minimum you have set. The autobrightness is actually really good the way it works, i have great sun legibility. Hope this helps you.
But why apps like sensor test say there us no light sensor?
maybe new sensor ....
How many apps have you tried?
Androsensor and Sensor test.
