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

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

That's not good!

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.
Hi, got a weird issue. I tried many GB roms and used my stock rom to test it. But it seem like the stock camera do not detect auto-brightness. It only detect the "LAST BRIGHTNESS SETTING" so if you set your brightness level to the lowest it will appear that way on your camera when you use it, but once you switch it back to auto-brightness it still stays the lowest level.
anyone got any solution for this?
Hi!
I have the S6 edge since yesterday and I noticed that auto brightness does not work.
Testing the senosr via a sensor read out tool, it actually detects brightnes levels well (as far as I can tell).
However, if I turn on my phone, it is first super dim at first. When I expose it to a flash light, the screen turns brighter and eventually maxes out. But it does not turn back to normal brightness levels once I remove the light source. Sure I can adjust auto brightness with the slider. But it is then much brighter (with same light conditions in the room) as when I truned on the phone...
Only if I turn off auto brightness, the screen reverts to the setting I have chosen...
If I turn auto brightness on again, it is as bright as with flash light exposure...
What is going on here?
Does anyone have an idea how to fix this?

I have the same problem. Already talked with Samsung and ATT. They want me to change the phone.
Ps. It seems the problem only persists in S6 edge not in S6. But I also found that other android that run lolipop 5.01+ have the same issue too. And right now, I use the app name velis auto brightness to fix this.
I will try to change the phone by this week and update you.
Hope this help.
I have started using an app called Lux. And it has no problem adjusting the brightness. The sensor clearly works fine as it can always displays the brightness detected by the sensor. So it has to be a software problem.
I could imagine that a hard reset could fix the issue. But right now, I do not want to go to the hassle to restore everything
Let me know how the new phone works. :highfive:

The hard reset did not work, I already did it.
I will update you again once I change or test the other phones.
I went to the store, and both S6 and S6 edge in the store all have the same problem, so the exchange it may not solve the problem.
I think this problem may be a software problem or an intention from Samsung/Google.
I will try to use it in couple days. If I cannot bear this, I might return the product.
Hope they will have OTA update soon.
Got this too.
It's really anoying.
I really hope there will come an app like on older Sammy's that we can set and adjust our own brightness levels.
But I'm not expecting a fix from Samsung tho. They have proven again and again they are unable to fix their crappy software. Especialy if it's a minor bug like this.
So anyone wanna buy a rooted hardly used S6 Edge plus?
I'm having this issue, I thought it was a problem with the auto brightness,so I turned it off, no luck, I think it's an issue with the light sensor since whenever I out my hand in it while playing hdr content it stars brightening and dimming the display in a kinda flickering way, it's unwatchable.
Anyone else can reproduce?

I know since the early Days of Magisk that it can affect the Performance of a OS, but that seems to be something new. Is the Device getting Hot or are there any lags before it starts acting like that?

No lags or heating problem.
The thing is That when You are watching Hdr on youtube
And your hand is in front of the sensor for brightnes control the backlight is going to the max. Also responding on the backlight of the display it self.

HDR (Over 720p) is pretty ressource hungry and needs much Perfromance, that's why i asked. But that sounds more like a Sensor Config Problem. Is this happening on Stock and/or AOSP?
And it just happens with Magisk installed?

On stock, at aosp Hdr is not working.
It looks like the sensor is working the wrong Way. You make the sensor darker andere the screen is getting brightner.
I have a Stock Xperia XZ1 no roms, no modifications at all,
Youtube HDR with the youtube video for testing HDR nature or something, the problem is that whenever the brightness is low, and i play an HDR video, the screen starts dimming, brightening if I touch the sensor.
But the light sensor works fine.
No one else?
Bump?

Me..... Stock xz1 with locked bootloader. Unrooted. Waiting for fix at android 9?
Me too, same problem. rooted. I thought it was related to YouTube vanced. But if is present in stock unrooted phone then is a software problem.
I have this problem too, only in low brightness tho
hi. i have a problem with my galaxy a20 android 9 :crying:
in some apps, the brightness Increase without any reason ... for example i set my brightness to 60% but when i open some apps (like instagram or Gallery) , i see that the screen is going lighter a little .... and when i exit the app, it going to normal status again.. adaptive brightness is off .... so what is it? its a bug? i remember i had this problem in chrome too but after a tiny update, its solved . but instagram and gallery is still like this
any solution?
