Quick question to all the people smarter than me, I use flux on my computer and really like it. I was wondering if there was a way to get the Linux build that they have to work on android. I, personally, wouldn't know how to go about doing this, so I am leaving this question here for anyone who feels they can accomplish this task.

I have been waiting for an android version for the tab/transformer prime since i started using it on my windows PC in november.
It seems they are working on it.
When is the Android verson coming out?
We have a version internally (it looks beautiful!) but it requires a very complicated installation process. We are working to simplify this and ship f.lux to the Android OS as soon as possible.

JuiceDefender Ultimate (with JuiceDefender beta) has the same kind of effect, but unfortunately it requires use of the Defender's own auto brightness level adjuster which isn't quite that polished function yet - at least not on my Desire Z, that is.
I checked into this, and it is an auto brightness control. It really doesn't change the display "temperature" of the screen. Thanks anyway, useful to know.
So I found this. It seems to be the best substitute for an android f.lux. I did buy the paid version because it was only $1.55. There is a free version, but the guy offers a money back guarantee if you don't like it. So far I have no complaints.
Please note: I am using it on my Nook Color, as such I don't know how efficient the automatic adjustment is as I have no light sensor nor camera.

It isn't an automatic brightness control. It tints your screen according to the time of the day making it easier on your eyes. I know it works because I use it on my laptop and ipad.

Similar to f.lux - unfortunately it doesn't work on ICS - I loved it on GB
Lux Auto Brightness does exactly what f.lux does, and then some.
Color Temperature and Automatic Brightness to Sub-Zero levels using the phone's Light Sensor!
I've dreamed so many nights about this kind of app!
p.s. I'm talking about the PAID VERSION.
The free version doesn't have Night Mode and many other features.

Free mode has Sub-Zero.
And I have to disagree, f.lux is much more functional. It actually tints your screen to a suitable temperature depending on the time of day while Lux is simply an auto-brightness app. Big difference.

f.lux is windows software, doesn't work on android so don't say it's more functional please, because it just doesn't function at all.
I never said free version didn't have SubZero brightness, I said it didn't have NIGHT MODE.
f.lux doens't tint depending on the time of the day, it toggles between two tints when it reaches a certain time of the day, there's no in-between changes being made, Big Difference.
And Lux Dash can do that, are you judging by the free version again?
It can easily change between three tint modes, normal, night mode, and astronomer mode, just not automatically but two taps away.
And AUTO BRIGHTNESS to sub zero levels, that's the "then some" I said, wich I find really useful at bed time use.
Please show me a better solution on android.
Actually f.lux was made for/and on Linux before it was ported to mac and windows. And also, f.lux doesn't just have '2' settings. It changes the temperature of your display based on a gradient-scale. Thus enabling it to be easier on our eyes, without us noticing. Don't get me wrong, I am using the PAID version of Lux right now, and it is great, however, the moment stereoptics puts out an android version of f.lux I will drop Lux so fast it might have re-entry burns.

"This changes too fast, it always shocks me.
The f.lux transition can be CPU intensive, so f.lux tries to be polite about it. To make it slow, you can use the special 1-hour slow transition option under settings instead."
"I installed f.lux but I can't see any change.
Is it past your local sunset time? Just wait, and f.lux will kick in at sunset."
As I said, it toggles between two modes when it reaches a certain time of the day, the only thing you can do about it is choose if you want the transition to last one hour or some seconds.
This is definitely not various gradient levels based on the time of the day.
It will be all-out night mode during the night, and all-out day mode during the day.
Only the transition period can be set to a gradient, but that period can be set to 1hour at max.
eg. 10h will be the same as 13h, 15h, 17h, and then somwhere between 17h and 18h it will change to night mode, and then 18h, 19h, 20h, 00h, 02h, 04h etc all will have the same color temperature. There will be no difference between 08h and 15h color temperatures for example.
I use f.lux since I had a CRT monitor, and I'm using it right now, so I know what I'm talking about.

No, it doesn't.
I`ve even showed the faq explanation on how the transition works.
Right click the f.lux tray icon and hit preview.
Only the small transition period is gradual.

By the way, I see you have a i777, I have a n7000 wich is samoled screen as well.
Lux night mode changes the blacks in a way I don't like at all, they cease to be true blacks and get the tint apllied on them too.
Do you experience that?
I've read somewhere that it's a limitation on apllying color tints on led screens... So to be honest, I don't even use Lux night mode, all I did was change the auto-brightness to let it reach -50% brightness when using the phone on pitch black rooms, and I love the app for that feature alone!
Do you think f.lux will find a way around this led limitation? Apllying the filter on bright and colorful content, but leaving the blacks alone?

All Lux does is throw a filter on top of what you're seeing. It in no way changes the way your phone renders things. f.lux is supposed to change that, but the problem is right now there isn't a way for it to work without a "complex installation procedure" (taken from f.lux FAQ), so I'm guessing yes, it will get around that limitation. It has nothing with the limitations of our screen.
Man has anyone heard more? Dying without f.lux I have tried lux but it simply doesn't work well for me even with pro version.
No, stereopsis still hasn't released an Android version. Lux is still the best bet, but like everyone else has said, it still isn't the same.

so I returned my sgs2 today and got a new one (old one had scratches). Now it seems to me that there is some flickering with black lines (very faded) on certain brightess settings on mainly white sites using a browser.
I noticed the flickering appears around 16% - 19% brightness settings (using "brightness level" from the market).
This flickering only appears only if "auto adjust screen power" is NOT selected, same brightness with it activated shows no flickering.
Also last but not least if plugged in with USB cable the flickering stops as well.
Can anyone re-produce this flickering?
1. Download "brightness level" from market, go between 16% - 19% (try step by step), with me its strongest at 17%.
2. Ensure "auto adjust screen power" is deactivated under Settings>Display
3. Open Internet and just look at a mostly white page
4. Ensure USB is not connected.
Can you see some slight flickering? Lots of lines across the screen?
Wonder if its just me, might go back and return this one tomorrow then
I assume no one suffers from this issue?
Sent from my GT-I9100 using XDA App
No flickering.
I get black/dim horizontal lines flickering on the display at low brightness regardless of my "auto adjust screen power" setting. I'd describe it more as a shimmering of the screen. It's very distracting - I first noticed it whilst trying out the Kindle app and it made it very difficult reading the text.
I believe it's down to interference with some radio component of the phone. I've searched various forums and haven't come across many mentions of this so maybe it's a bad batch and I'm considering returning mine. It's frustratingly variable so I hope I can demonstrate the fault in store...
I'm wondering if the increase in brightness just masks the effect rather than eliminating it. At lower brightness settings, any local differences in brightness are going to be more noticeable.

have you noticed any change at certain battery levels?? Like if the battery was at 90% its easily noticeable, once its like below 70% I'm not able to re-produce it, no matter what I try down to 0%.
So maybe since it seems to be only from 90% - 70%, it could be to do with the current/voltage at certain brightness levels with white background...very unique problem it seems..I'm thinking of going to the o2 store but I most likely wont be able to re-produce it then and there so will they still exchange it? hmmm lets see..

I'll note down what the battery power levels are over the next week or so.
I went into the O2 store after work and reproducing the effect was indeed difficult. I had it showing the effect in the shopping centre whilst sitting down at a bench. I had it showing the effect whilst in the queue to wait for an O2 staff member. Fifteen minutes later, once I'd got to talking to the staff, it worked fine. All I could do was explain the problem and ask if anyone else had reported it. They advised I "kept an eye on it over the next couple of weeks".
Really frustrating. I'd entertain the possibility that my eyes are faulty but I've shown the effect to someone else and they agreed it was distracting.

Hi,
I was not able to reproduce it using your directions, but I have to say that I also noticed horizontal lines flickering on white.
I tried to reproduce it but I can't find out what it is related to.
So it's doig it just in random fashion

does it flicker with auto brightness on? You might want to download an app like "brightness level" and set it to different settings to see when/where it flickers...mine usually flickered at 17% screenbrightness when battery was at 70 - 90%

Yes I did download it and followed yur directions to try to repruce it. But I could not. I set then brightness to various level from 100% down to 0, but no luck. I have to try now when battery is at that level. Then it could be some kind of intereference. Lines I noticed on mine are very subtle and close about 1 mm
Ok, confirmed: 92% battery, brightness 17% on white or close to white screen color, there are horizontal lines like some itnerefernce/noise. Annoying
Samsung galaxy S2 screen flickering
I also have the same screen flickering problem.
it happens when the battery level is around 87-91%
Any soulution?
same here
black lines around text on white background. It disappears after a while, but is really annoying. I suppose the only solution is to change the phone?
sorry guys to hear u got the same problem....I never found a resolution to it apart from returning it to the store....once I managed to reproduce the issue infront of the manager he swapped the phone straight away.
If you got the same issue make sure you get to the store with the battery level and brightness level that shows it up, ask to go into a dark area to show it properly.
First o2 store I went to the guy refused to look at it properly and as it was light outside he couldnt see it anyways. Second o2 store I went to, the manager went downstairs with me and turned off the lights to see the flickering because it shows only on low brightness so make sure you take that into consideration when in a bright/well-lit store.
i have the same problem, it, but it only appears when "auto adjust screen power" is on. Its really a shame! Only way to fix it is to change the phone?
same here. flickers at low brightness with battery under 90%. called samsung hotline. the problem was new to them and the only idea they had was resetting the phone. tried it but unsurprisingly its no help. galaxy s2 could be great but it has just too many annoying hardware flaws
Same problem
Well I noticed this on my SGS 1 !! ... when I have PACKET DATA turned on this flickering starts. It starts really hard when i have this function turned on, but when i disable it there's nothing...
Noticed same problem on SG2 bought in Sweden
Realise this is an older topic but i have recently noticed this issue in low light with Auto On. Battery level at 85 percent. For those that had their phones replaced did the issue continue? Has anyone seen this with the yellow tint also?
Noticing this issue as well on Villain ROM 2.4. Auto brightness enabled and 90% battery.
*Edit* Just did a CWM restore to stock rooted and the flickering seems to have gone. 85% battery, auto brightness enabled.
phone swapped... problem kept
i got my phone replaced 2 months ago and was very happy with the new one since it had no screen flicker... until now. so my current sgs 2 now also suffers from screen flicker and my only options are to send it to samsung and hope to get a replacement or to live with it. and since im beginning to think that this might be a general problem i tend to keep it. although i have to admit that i dont like my sgs2 as much as i did before...
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

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.

In a completely dark room, auto-brightness will sometimes randomly bump up the brightness level of the screen to, say, 25% (way too bright). In a dimly lit room, it generally stays pinned to minimum unless i move it up manually before turning auto-brightness on (way too dark).
Changes take a long time and are inconsistent. Anyone else experience this?
Never been a fan of auto-brightness. It depends on the light sensor in the device, but I turn this off on most android devices as it just ends up soaking up power anyway.

I have noticed that as well. Specifically the in a almost completely dark room its not set at minimum brightness, and when in a dimly lit room it will be at minimum brightness.
Oddly enough when in the completely dark room if I turn off auto brightness then put it back on it will usually go down to minimum brightness. This lasts for awhile then it seems to bump back up.
mine does this also..
I do recall nearly every reviewer of the Prime saying that the auto-brightness was pretty wonky.
But with that being said, auto brightness seems rather unnecessary on pretty much any Android device. Even Froyo had native brightness widgets.

Can heavily be noticed in mobilephonetalk forums while scrolling the page with auto bright turned off. Even on max or min brightness....
It sucks. Plain & Simple
I do wonder why they have such a hard time making Auto Brightness / Sensors that work correctly. Or at least consistantly. I used to play with it, setting the brightness level, then going to auto on several HTC devices, and while it was a LOT better than the Primes setup, it wasn't consistent which always caused me to give up on it. Seems a waste to even put the sensor in there when no one seems to be able to control it properly.
Maybe it IS an Android thing, for I remember no such issue with Windows Mobile devices. Hmm. Hold out any hope of ICS? Perhaps it will address it, but for now, I am still skeptical that ICS is the Holy Grail everyone claims it to be. It would have to address a LOT to be anywhere near that perfect. Who knows. Maybe it IS that good, in which case, My Prime is really gonna shine!
I don't like it on my HTC Sensation either. Too much dimmed when outside and in bright rooms.
Does anyone have a device with ICS that can confirm if auto brightness still acts the same? Every Android device I have had has the same issue. I have just learned to deal with it although I do not like it.

Yep HTC sensation is the same..
I find it very good on my Sensation, suits me well. But in the Prime its well too low.
Sent throught the wormhole from my CoinInserted Sensation OG.
it's ok. not perfect
I also never use auto backlight, but on the TFP it seems ok.
It's not perfect but it almost always reacts pretty fast to changes in light.
When I'm in a dark room it always goes to the lowest setting.
Sometimes it seems to 'forget' to work and then I need to turn the auto setting off and then back on again and that seems to remind it to go back to work.
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 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

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.
Its just too damn bright !! Mine seems to get stuck at higher levels and doesnt automatically dim, unless the change is quite dramatic (like dark room). I have to manually tick auto brighness off then on to make it work again.
I have tried using lux and it seems to be working perfectly so i am guessing its a software issue from LG side.
Anyone else having similar issues ?
Yea, it's too bright
I completely agree with you. Mine always seems to default to 61% which is too bright in normal light (45% is ideal for me). It would be nice if you could set the baseline "auto" brightness level and let the sensor adjust from there.

Well i have done some research and seems like an app called ''Content adaptive backlight'' is the cause of issue. Seems like LG have managed to produce the same issue that plagued G2. I really hope they fix it in future patches.

same here ... is there another way to fix it ? besides waiting ?

I have compared G5 MM rom to my G3 and there seems to be no Content adaptive brightness app on my G3 and because of that there is no auto brightness issue on my G3.
I have done more research and there are quite a few latest phone (6p, S7 ) affected by this issue where either brightness is either too low or high.
Only solution is to either get a custom rom or get an update from carrier/manufacture.
I noticed this as well.. I am sure it will eventually get corrected via software.
Chiming in to say same issue here. Doesn't really bother me tho.
Same boat its too bright or dark and when battery saver kicks in you cant see the screen at all.
Agreed. Too bright, except in very low lighting - then too dim. Hopefully software update will fix this up.
also agree! Way to dim in dark room, haven't noticed to bright yet but then I am old and need the extra ummpphhh to see!!! lol
It would be nice if LG could add low and high limits to the auto-brightness.. I think that would fix the problem.
Does everyone use auto-brightness? Does it seem to help with battery life?
So the issue occurs since April and hasn't been fixed yet. I just received my G5 and have the same issue. It annoys me a lot and when I see that LG didn't fix it yet, I am wondering whether they ever will do that.
I have noticed it getting stuck, unchecking it and checking it again sorts it out for a while
