I don't. It drain's my battery more than manual settings. Slide your finger over notification area to adjust brightness manually.
I'm on MIUI so I can change from the notification bar. It depends, if I'm charging I'll have full brightness to show off the sexy SAmoled+ display. But if I'm out and trying to conserve battery I'll have it on auto.

Off.
Use quick settings via notification, hate brightness changing all time so its all way down except when need to up brightness manually.

Off. Main reason is to conserve battery. Most of the time super amoled plus display is bright enough even when close to lowest brightness. Like the others said there's a shortcut to manually increase the brightness through sliding the notification bar when needed say for example outdoors.
i never use the auto feature
Always auto.
I just can't unblock my handset when I'm out (thanks to australian sun) - I see nothing on the screen.
Unless there's a way to manually update brightness when lock screen's on ?
Off and almost always at maximum brightness. When using it in the dark (when I should be sleeping) I lower the brightness via the notification bar shortcut (that also works when the screen is locked using WidgetLocker).
No. Manual adjust is easy and more satisfying.
no!not working good....

I do. Tried both and found that it's just as annoying having to adjust manually as it is when auto is slow

Never..... it ( almost) allways in max. It's a shame to use that beautiful screen on dull settings.

Im using auto.....because home is not like outdoor.....if i make it at the lowest i wont see any thing in the outdoor.......i have it on because it stimulate the sun and the low light condition.....plus .. i dont care about the battery...i bought the phone to use it and enjoy it not to sit and watch the battery all day long and keeping myself from enjoying this coool phone...........
I use Auto; I might try manual and adjusting it now and then but at the moment I'm content with auto.
I kept it off cause you can easily changed the brightness just by sliding the notification bar
No , I use manual so I can adjust it to the way I like it.
Always off, adjust the brightness level where you suit.
Auto mode may drains battery life.
I do use auto bright
It's good to enhance your view on the mobile at any light conditions
And IT DOES NOT drain your battery . it's,false thoughts guys belive me

I have a Galaxy S2 (i9100) and I find the screen really dark while watching videos or movies even when I keep the brightness FULL in the VideoPlayer and the MXVideo Player. Still the videos that are of pretty gud quality and bright enough appear extremely dark in the phone.
Is there any mod or any system file that can be edited. If there is any way to improve just the video brightness?
I am a media freak and I use my phone for music and videos. This would be of great help. Thanx.
Settings/display/screen mode/
Set to movie. That will lighten the contrast so it isn't so dark.

You could of course use that, but there is also a brightness option in the video player.
Tap menu select setting and go to brightness. Put it as high as you want and if it is not bright enough check the outdoor mode.
I've bought yesterday my new galaxy s3 and even though the browser at the beginning was fine now it shows a very dark grey background, as if the brightness is decreased to reduce batter consumption.
I've disabled the power saving mode but still the same.
Any idea, please???
hehe pres the options buttons and you see a setting for clarity for the browser. videos and browser have an option to change the clarity settings apart from the main clarity settings.

Hi,
Start your browser, go to settings -> brightness and colours -> remove automatic brightness. Else go into advanced settings and reset your browser.
mine is in dutch but look for the brightness settings.

Yeah, change your "Brightness & Color" setting to Default in the Browser.

If you go into the brower and go to settings there is a setting there you can change, there is also a setting in standard settings around changing brighness based on image. You could try turning that off.
Solved... i had to set the browser brightness
Thanks everyone, I wasn't scrolling down enough in the browser menu and I couldn't see the brightness setting functionality.
Hi All,
Could you please point me on the file that has settings for auto brightness? I want to increase the range, the stock one is almost unnoticeable.
Thanks in advance!
Xperia S does not have auto brightness in both Gingerbread or ICS.

What you are saying? Sure that Xperia S have auto brightness ! You probably are not able to set it :laugh:
It has auto brightness xD
Try to buy some glasses...
But without custom rom or app you cannot control it.
Cyanogen mod or app ( widgetsoid) can control it very easy.

It has auto brightness. You can go to the Service menu, Sensors section and there you will find Light sensor, there you will see its current values, as far as I remember they are 0..12 or so, but that doesn't really matter, I want to find where the dependency between Light sensor value and brightness is coded.
You should ask some rom dveloper for some info :-/

It has auto brightness, but only the smarts can see
I found this useful post.
In ICS we have it in /system/etc/als_curve and there we have 4 folders: 0, 1, 2 and 3 with limits and parameters. I assume these are 4 zones of brightness (0-25% on folder 3, 25-50% in 2, 50-75% in 1 and 75-100% in 0).
We have to change the parameters, as in the post I referred, but personally I didnt understand almost anything, so we need to try... If someone will be trying too, let me know your results!
I have found an easy way to set auto brightness and it works beautifully:
Download and install quick settings.
When you are in quick settings, tap "customize", tap the small tool icon next to brightness, and you will be asked whether to enable light sensor.
Once enabled, you will be able to use auto brightness through quick settings app.

Why couldn't they just add the option into the settings like everyone else??? Is it really that hard?

That is their style.
Go and send them mail to change it.

It is enabled by default even without 3rd-party apps. The reason of all this is to make its range bigger, more noticeable.

I also really don't understand why Sony cannot put this option just in the brightness settings.... I have had a long time thought that the SXS doesn't have auto brightness at all but dunno that its in fact hidden somewhere which can be called out easily by a 3rd party app !

It does have auto brightness, it just works a little different from what we're used to so far. You can find the brightness control in Settings->Display->Brightness (at least that's where you find it in Gingerbread). Now, the thing that creates so much confusion, is that this control shouldn't be called Brightness, but Visibility. What the phone does (and imo this is really clever), is that you move the slider to adjust the visibility of the screen best suited for your eyes and then the phone will automatically adjust the amount of light the LEDs glow using an intrinsic curve so that the same visibility is provided outdoors and indoors. You can test this. Set the slider halfway and then go outside, in the sun, and cover and uncover the light sensor a few times. You will see that the screen is dimmed and brightened up while you do that as the phone tries to maintain it's visibility to the setpoint you chose by moving the slider. Simple and clever, huh? What some may argue, is that the brightness variation is not aggressive enough, and they may have a point. Personally, I don't need to move the slider more than 20%, as the screen is perfectly visible even on a sunny day (of course, that is unless the sun directly reflects in the screen, but I found this happens only if you hold your phone on purpose and it is not a comfortable position).
Hello,
In my lt26w there is no Visibility submenu. But it looks like the application "quick settings" has make a trick.
Best Regards,

What do you set your brightness to on your Samsung s3?
Minutes on automatic but I'm thinking of changing it and I want some opinions on what people use!
Sent from my Samsung Galaxy S III using Tapatalk 2
I also set mine on automatic, because you need a different brightness setting depending on the outside brightness where you are.
For example you would need a completely different setting when you are using your phone outdoors on a sunny day, or indoors in the evening with artificial lighting.
Hope that helps.
Full brightness for me and i adjust accordingly

0 brightness at indoor and auto brightness at outdoor
The Lux app is working very well for me. Auto-brightness works as it should have out of the box now.
I just set the brightness to 50%. Manually.
I use the display brightness app from the play store. Adds a brightness slider to screen. Much better than auto IMHO. Auto was giving me dark screens too often.
