does anyone know how to configure values for using autobrightness?
It's impossible.

we had a rom named xtreme in which they kept autobrightness by using proximity sensor..... so this is not possible?
its possible, but i don't know app name.
you need app that works too with call sensor.

You can use the proximity sensor? Thought they used electromagnetic's to work out if something was close or not. How could that be used for auto brightness??

SGA dont have brightness sensor and proximity sensor work on 1 mm of distance and this work only signal digital, 1 or 0. For brightness control do you need one analog signal, maybe any app use the cam to capture the brightness, but this is an assuption.

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

See this [HOWTO] disable ambient light sensor for LCD in xperia mini. It might work on Ray too.

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.
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
sorry for the english

If you use the latest s.e tweaked Rom it has the light sensor disabled by default and lets you set the brightness all the way up its too bright now just The way most of us like it

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.

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).

I just noticed that i have an error in proximity during call and auto brightness. How do i fix it?
can somebody confirmed if theirs are working on one ui 4.1?
I'm using UI 4.0 haven't noticed anything like that. It uses ambient light sensor as it lacks proximity.
Check if hardware is working fine using CPU Z see tsl sensor lux value.
