i tried using adjbrightness but it keeps telling me that my phone isnt rooted; anyone get this app to work on x10??
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 am not sure if this is an isolated or common occurence but on several occasions that my brightness setting is changing by itself. Now, i have made absolute sure that my setting is not on automatic and nor have i activated battery saving mode. I can for sure say when exactly this happens but it may be during/after charging. Brightness is always lowered when this happens. Any advice would be appreciated. Thanks.

The Brightness will only change in the Stock Web Browser if you had set it up different with system brightness, otherwise it should remain at a same level.
Regards.
This happens out with the stock browser.

Could it be some app you installed lately or is it just this way from the first?
Im not sure...have not had my device long and pretty much installed my apps straight away so its difficult to determine how and when it all started. I did update recently.

If the problem remains and you still haven't figured out if it's caused by an application or not then I'd advice you to do a Factory Reset, don't forget to Back Up data before.
Regards.
This was happening to me sometime ago! Than I noticed that my brightness gets lowered automatically when my phone overheats (while playing a game) and as a result it keeps the setting!
Don t worry about it! I advise you to lower your brightness to 50% before playing a game so that the phone does not overheat! It s one of the main factors that helped me eliminate overheating problems Hope I put your mind to rest
Thank you...that has certainly put my mind at ease now.

1. Go to Settings -> Display -> Brightness -> Set it to manual.
2. Go to Settings -> Display -> Auto Adjust Screen Power -> Turn that to off.
Hope that helps.
Hi
my woman got the Galaxy S2 and has a problem with the camera app. The app shows a very dark screen like a maximum power saving mode. The rest of the apps are Ok. It can help then if I turn off the automatic brightness of the screen and the energy saving settings and turn them on again. But after a couple of days you have to the same again. So she is a bit p...ed about that. Does anybody of you have an idea how to get it stable bright?
BR MArtin
'my woman'...lol.
Anyway if you go into the camera app settings, scroll to the bottom and click 'reset'. Maybe your exposure settings or contrast etc were changed somehow. If that doesn't work...might be something up with the camera, or even some rubbish on the lens. You could just take it back and get a new one..
Never had problems with that, but all I can think of is that the illumination-sensor next to the front-face cam is dirty?
(less light coming tru makes everything darker?)

With the settings in the picture everything is ok. The picture taken with the camera are ok. Also the Sensor is ok as it is working fine everywhere else. Any other ideas?

666fff .. Why take it back to the store immediately?
Anyways... So I you have the app (camera) open.. Do the bars (with the icons in it) also seem dark or do they look (normal)bright?
Sent from my GT-I9100 using XDA App
Yes everything is dark must be some problems with the energy settings or whatever
BR MArtin
Let me eliminate some causes:
- you've unchecked 'automatic screen brightness'?
(@settings)
- you've tried maximizing brightness manually?
- you've rebooted throughout the process? (giving the phone the chance to apply it's settings, sometimes all it needs is a reboot)
Let me know.

Basically I tried evrything you said with unchacking and Checking the automatically settings and also the additional Energysaving settings it gets back fine for some days but then it changes back to the dark setting unless i check and uncheck the boxes again. So it seems not to be a stable sollution. So I search now for a sollution that the camera app always runs with maximal display brightness
I've tried about everything then.
I ran some tests on my own SGS2 but I can't emulate the dark bars.
Not even by holding my finger over the light-sensor.
But I guess it's like this and I DO NOT know a fix for it: seems like the phone is learning that you don't use the camera much. So if you do. It will automatically go into power saving mode since the priority for battery-use is for system instead of cam (due to low-use)
So the only last thing I could think of, is that you've enabled automatic power saving?
Uncheck it and take Juice Defender as your 'battery saver' fixed alot of issues with brightness going up and down for me(very annoying) never goes up and down for me anymore!.
I hope this is of good help.

Ok will try that with Juice Defender.

I have write me a task with Tasker witch put me max sensor light and auto rotation on when I open the cam. after closing it revers to the normal state! ,-)
I think I had the same problem as you.
In the camer app > Settings > Outdoor Visibility > ON
(it unfortunately resets everytime I exit the app)
Hope it helps
I tried with the Outdoor visibility but this seems to change the colors of the screen and not the brightness.
You are right, that does not work. I was at work when I tried this and it seemed to make the screen brighter, but outside in the sun light it does not make any difference. So I have the same problem as you lol
It's not his screen or image. It's the gray bars on the sides that he means.

I tried the following thing and it's work :
1. Uncheck auto brightness
2. Make the brightness 100 %
3.Check again auto brightness.
On my phone when i made this the brightness on the camera is 100% and is not depending from auto brightness.
this totally worked! seems like within the camera app, there is no auto-adjusting of brightness and it always defaults to what the last brightness setting was set, regardless of auto-brightness status (checked/unchecked).
When I unlock the phone it always starts up very dim and sometimes it turns bright sometimes it doesn't. I have auto-brightness off and I have my brightness set to 100%. I have to move the slider off of 100% and back to 100% to get it that bright. It is very weird. Anybody know how to fix this?
I have the same problem.

Is it dim on the home screen or certain apps? cuz internet browser, video etc got their own brightness settings built in that you have to change from the settings within the app.

It is dim from the lock screen. Everything once I unlock it is dim. If I lock and unlock the phone like 3 times fast it is fine, but it's a pain in the ass. I'll see if I can take a video of it later when I get home.
I know you said "everything" but try to go to internet browser and disable "auto-brightness" under brightness setting.
Also upgrade your firmware to the latest one to see if that help. My Smart detect is not working and after upgraded it work every single time plus the cell stand by is much improved
I just got my phone back from service, they updated to LF5 - so far it has solved my proplems with dim
I have had 2 handsets that do this now. Its really annoying especially when you are outside.
Basically what is happening is that when your screen dims down before it goes off thats what is happening when you unlock the phone.
I can be using it for 5-10 secs before the full brightness kicks in.
It has nothing to do with power saver or internet. Just running through the home pages and apps list it is doing it.
I am on the latest firmware too.
Does anyone know whats causing it? Is it just a faulty handset (or 2)?
Mine the same. I don't think there bad devices I think its just software related tbh

Well im glad some others of you have experianced this also.
I just hope its something that will be fixed in an update.
It really p****s me off when it does it and im outdoors.
Hey,
Updated from 4.2 to 4.3 hoping it was a glitch with 4.2 but my screen brightness flickers up and down what appears to be about 5 levels consistently (very fast, resembles a flickering) whenever the display is on. The brightness control also doesn't work, it has no effect on the brightness levels, you can slide it from one side to the other with no actual change.
This has an ill affect of draining the battery about 1% a minute when the display is on.
Anyone have a similar problem or know how to fix this?
I have the auto brightness unchecked and when enabled there is no change either.

When you flashed to 4.3 did you do a wipe? Have you tried a reset at any time? If you just updated without wipe it would have retained any previous settings or conflicts that may cause this.

I'll do a quick backup and then try a wipe to see if that clears it up. Thanks for the suggestion.
maybe you has to sent to service central but before just update again ,hope will fine
Did all the wipes and no go, called up Bell and have her going in for a RMA check. Can't wait to see what they say.

Are you sure you flashed the device correctly and followed the procedures in LordManhattan's guide or [NUT]/blueether's posts?
