check yourself
open up your dialer
Dial *#*#7378423#*#*
click> Service tests>Ambient Light sensor
watch the values moving your phone towards light, if the value changes moving moving your phone towards light, then u have working Ambient light sensor....
If u wanna disable it as our xperia 2011 device doesn't have that option in settings, just download and use https://play.google.com/store/apps/...uYW5kcm9pZC5EaXNhYmxlX0F1dG9fQnJpZ2h0bmVzcyJd
P.S.- you need a rooted device for that app...

The live with workman has got a working light sensor. But the display options under settings menu doesn't offer an option for auto brightness. So the question is, is the light sensor active on stock Rom? And is there an Xperia model that offers this activation?

Unless there is a problem it is active and the problem is that you can't deactivate it without root.You can test it though by covering the sensor, i think is the biggest circle in the top front of your phone.If it is you will see the screen getting darker

The difference in screen light is really small that you almost don't notice it at all. And no, you can't enable auto brightness, LWW doesn't have that function.

Of Course,
i think the ambient light sensor is autobrightness

Maybe I'm too late but you can enable it with Tasker without root

Yep.. I tested in on ics .587 .. Screen dims or gets bright according to the ambient light... You can also do the service test to check that..

Yes but Sony made crap code to work with it
Yes Live With Walkman WT19i has Ambient Light Sensor, but Sony disabled it, I actually don't know why, the sensor works, but the code that Sony built seems to be very buggy on this since if you activate as wrote on this thread, it won't work as it should, most of the time, the screen will be very bright, what's not good for the screen and/or battery.

Grrrrr lol. Thanks bro. The xperia s comes with better hardware. Why they didn't add that neat feature to the s
Sent from my LT26i using Tapatalk
Based on the research I did, it seems the clear bar won't serve as a notification light which is just wrong since it was advertised all along in the videos as having this feature. The U only changes colors for different themes and doesn't change colors for different notifications. I believe the P is the same as the S but I still can't find the location of the notification light on the P.
Notifications are done by a led.

Sensor App [Smartswitcher]

Hello
Here is an app called Smartswitcher
Firstly I will thank the app developer ssspeq
This app will use our phones proximity sensor to help open recently used app
To get it working what u need is
1) The ,apk file
Install the apk normally
one preference screen will pop up select ur preferences
Now here are the instructions to get it working
You should be unlocked means on menu or anywhere in ur phone bcoz the app doesnt work when we are on lockscreen or when the phone is locked
Instructions :
Wave you hand across the sensor :
1 time for the recent app menu
2 times for the home customization menu in neov or home menu for other phone or menu in apps
3 times to go back or reverse ur menu option action
4 times to bring u back to ur home-screen from whichever application ur using
Your phone will vibrate when an action is completed
Hope u like this app
Questions are welcomed
Link of the original thread for updates : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1803902
Hello!
I think it would be better if you put a link to the authors thread instead of posting the apk, specially since there's now is a newer version!
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1803902
Since i'm following this closely i know there's a couple of problems, some with solutions.It's also hard for the developer to fix issues posted here if he don't follow this thread.

Did you press the help button in the app or read the thread? You probably disabled vibration feedback on recognized gesture but left find my sensor-mode on. That mode causes vibration on statechange of the sensor to help users find where the sensor is located on the device. This setting is now completely gone because it caused people to think the app was broken. The other settings are more clearly explained now.
Thanks for testing it on the experia neo!
Xperia! Neo thanks think I will just use the button waste of battery power

Cm9 brightness ?

Hello ,Am now using Cm9 for Xperia s & I've noticed that the screens maximum brightness is much dimmer. Is there a way to manually adjust the maximum brightness on the phone? Perhaps via some configuration text file or something?
Thanks.
there is an app in the playstore called "root dimmer", i think you can max it out with that.

I've already tried it and it's useless on cm9..Maybe it's a bug which will be fixed soon! Hope so : )
i think you will have to live with that, as Bravia Engine is disabled on CM9. Not sure if this does make the display brighter but it's way brighter on the stock ROM so i dont think its a bug.

I don't think its a Bravia Engine issue,Cause as you can tell it dosen't actually works on ICS as it were in gingerbread, where you can really see the difference if u turned it off !!
cm10 doesnt have that problem though

On my ST15i (stock ICS) brightness is now very high, but light sensor doesn't work and doesn't respond on torch flashing or any light sources.
What can I do to enable light sensor ?

[Solved] - light sensor in mini pro?

Mini pro has four dots on the front top right?
The first one is led, the second proximity, the third is the camera.
So is the fourth one a light sensor?

Yep. When you have auto brightness enabled, try covering it and you'll notice that the screen brightness go up.

Re: Q - light sensor in mini pro?
When I try any hardware info app, it says I don't have one. And only one I see is a dummy light sensor (cm) in hardware info (that's the app name I think)
Can't really see any difference when covering it up.

I tested it on the extended CM10 ROM by M66B and it was working perfectly.
BTW you don't have the auto brightness option in stock.

Shoudn't it be the other way around? As in when its dark brightness decreases?
Ps: for me covering it up does absolutely nothing.

Oops. Sorry for my mistake. Yep the brightness goes down in dark.
I have no clue as to why its not working for you as on my xmp it works absolutely fine. Its maybe because you dont have that feature in the rom you are on.

If you are using lupus jb v3 then you cant use the auto brightness feature as wedgess has disabled it in his kernel.
And auto brightness dosent work in the cm10 rom by fxp as its diabled. It works in the cm 10 extended rom by m66b with his extended kernel properly.
