Hey guys,
I have noticed that Xperia S doesn't have a light sensor. but in whitepaper they say it is.
i really like to enable auto brightness control but with this i am unable to do it.
The auto brightness is working fine and it's always on,there is no option to turn it off,you need a third-party app to turn it off.

If u want to enable auto brightness just set ur brightness to about 18 percent and reboot! Then u'll notice auto brightness works!

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.

This is incorrect. I already posted my findings here:

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.
Hi,
Anyone knows if why the Auto Contrast will not stay on?
I can turn it on, but when I exit the camera application, it will reset to OFF.
Thanks
Let me try and confirm

Go to settings. Display. Toggle Auto-brightness on or off.
I get that part I meant the settings that has something to do with with the auto brightness sensor. It just seems a bit dim in the same light vs. a sense ROM

I believe this is something with MIUI. It's been like that on this phone with every revision I've ran. Either set your Brightness to a desired level or deal with the low auto for now until/if they can fix that.

I have the latest version of the stock no brand. The brightness worked fine. Just flash root + CWM, the brightness does not work again. Any idea? Any suggestion?
Have you checked your setting to make sure the powersave isnt on. Also the Auto Brightness is disabled?

The powersave must be off...and Auto brightness disabled ? Is necessary ?
The is very dim if you keep them on. But once you turn then off and adjust brightness to max you will see a big different

Thanks Donsimmi! I wish there was a reason related with the operation of root ...
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.
