Anyone having the same problem?
If so, was the feature removed or readapted somewhere else?

Not really... This function is a pain in the a*%
I'm annoyed they took it out

Wondering if anyone knows where I can obtain a utility or hack to adjust the automatic brightness settings? In a dark or dim room, the brightness on auto is much higher than I need.
There were a few hacks available for windows smartphones to do this, but I haven't found any for Android/HTC. Found one specifically for the droid-x but don't think it works for us.
Been wondering on something like this also

CM7 has options to fine tune how auto brightness works.
^ Shift Faced
confirmed to work for me. I've adjusted mine in CM7 just the way I like.
Question to somebody else who has done it. Is it showing 1 colum having -1 on the buttons box? I noticed only one setting I cant turn off the 4 bottom lights because it doesnt let you change the -1 to a 0...
is there any guides i could read on how to set it all up? i have no idea what everything mean in that menu.

I'm right along with you. I just looked at it and then slowly backed out because I didn't want to mess anything up and I'm usually all for pressing buttons to see what happens.

I'll bump for this as well. I've always wanted to understand how to adjust the auto brightness in CM7, but I've searched around and haven't found any info on it.
On the run

Here is the screenshot. This is what I'm currently running.
I recently purchased this phone and I am moving from a Nexus S, which had auto brightness however I can't seem to find it in the options of the Xperia, I did remove a few apps when I got it so I just wondered if anyone could confirm if the phone has the feature or not?
Thanks
Yes it has, but you cant confiqure this by your self without root and some mods.

Thanks for the prompt reply, I'm going to hold off rooting until I get my unlock code from my network.
Its on by default.

I used "Quick Settings" to turn off auto brightness but it's good to know it can be turned off without installing anything
Using xperia arc over 6 months so trust me, it work very well. I will explain to you via PM when i get to PC

Just tested the auto brightness in bright sunlight. It is working fine. Put my hand over the sensor and the screen got darker. Removed it an the screen got brighter again.
The brightness changes are very slow though. It takes the phone a few seconds to adjust. Which actually is pretty nice since you don't get abrupt changes.

Correct, that's the design.
Will this damage the screen? If not how would I set the screen to stay on while charging?
Thanks!
It could, but settings > developer options > stay awake

Unfortunate. It is for me on CM9.
Found a somewhat solution. I programed a tectile to toggle car mode. The only problem is that it opens the s voice app, which is kind of annoying.
I am looking for that too. I remember my S2 had an option to keep awake even in stock roms. Is there any 3d party application that is able to do that?
I have been reading in many threads in the Xperia Sola/P/U sub forum that one should turn off auto rotation to save battery if that feature is not being used.
I used to do that. Until yesterday evening while playing Temple Run, when a doubt came to my mind.
Since auto rotation is turned off. But the guy in the TR2 picks up movement from tilting the phone also. Which means the gyroscope (on whatever device that is used to measure angular movements) must be running even after auto rotation is turned off..
So if gyroscope is still on, is there any actual battery saving?

By turing off auto rotation means
Screen will not rotate while in normal apps, gallery, brpwser etc
It doest mean it will completely turn ur senor off...
Games require gyroscope so it will run while playing
Sent from my Xperia U using xda premium
That will turn off sensor for screen rotation but not for games.
But if you arent playing game and you have autorot turned off you are saving battery
Ps sorry for my bad english

If Auto Rotation off disables sensors, how are games still able to sense movement.
If auto rotation off does not disable sensor, how is battery being saved?

It does disable the sensor, but when you install some apps (games in paticular that use the gyroscope and stuff) they have the permission to turn it on, but outside of that app it will be off. Very simple actually

Turning off autorotate will not save your battery.
Also factor in the negligible savings from cpu not polling sensors, or processing animation for rotation.
It will NOT save your battery at all...

See my previous post. However small, a saving is a saving.

Ok...
I set both Always-On and Turn-Wrist-to-switch-On options off.
But when I turn the wrist the screen goes on despite the Turn-Wrist option is definitly off.
What is blocking this setting?

You need to switch it off on the app and the watch
In which app?
I looked into Zenwatch Manager and Google Wear, I found nothing.
