A friend of mine got Xperia play and was severely disappointed with the brightness of the screen. When I saw the phone I was able to realize that the auto brightness setting was permanently turned on with no option to turn it off. WTF how can sony mess up so bad?
Eventually after an update the problem was solved and it was possible to enjoy bright and vivid picture even in the dark.
Now I am interested in getting the neo V and I am hearing mixed things about the xperia neo auto brightness thing?
Some reviews seem to indicate that it has and some that it doesnt.
I see some users saying that it was there but some new updates have removed the feature?? I personally cannot live a week with this kind of a feature and my friend lived with it for a lot longer before an update finally came along for it.
So whats the real deal? Does the latest firmware neo have auto brightness that can be turned on and off??
One of my main reasons for getting the neo is that I dont want to root and just want a simple no nonsense smartphone experience and the neo seems like a really good phone for that purpose. But with the kind of blunders the sony support team are doing I am not sure if I should get a sony phone.
I'w got Xperia neo V and sensor is working perfectly fine...

This easily allows you to fix the brightness level at a specified level.
Guess you do not want to root in which case the default maximum brightness is a problem along with the flickering that happens when adjustments take place. If you do root, then the "Disable Auto Brightness" app works perfectly, significantly boosting the screen brightness at the expense of auto adjust which suits me fine as I use a widget for the same.
t3chg33k is absolutely right! The phone definitely has the problem of the "oversensitive", non-deactivatable auto-brightness sensor, which plagues all SE Greenheart models. There is only one way to solve this problem. You root the phone (one click solution in this forum) and then you buy the "Disable Auto Brightness" app from the Market for only 0.69 euros. I did it this afternoon and now I'm enjoying a super bright screen at all times. You can lower the brightness at any time through the phone settings but it never goes up and down because the sensor is deactivated. You can always re-enable it with just a tap on the app icon. It works superbly! Nothing else works!
I do keep auto brightness most of the time so not having auto brightness is not an option either. You are saying that one can easily go back to the "default" way with just a tap by disabling whatever the app is doing?
Does merely rooting a phone cause any of the instability problems that people running custom ROMS have? I love the SE user interface, so smooth and simple I certainly wouldnt be putting a custom ROM.
But this problem and camera compression problem does make me think what on earth are the sony devs upto and what they might end up messing up in ICS.
I guess I might spend a bit more and go for the nexus S. But I so love the creamy white neo V, one of the sexiest phones I have ever seen and I am not normally carried away with a phone's looks. And it's got a very very reasonable price as well for the features.
But why is this still a problem with the neo? The xperia play no longer has the problem, are they working on a fix for this?
This is the problem with buying an unpopular android phone, not much outcry for such ridiculous omissions.
It could never happen for so long on a popular samsung or HTC phone.

SuperDim is free. Also needs root.
SuperDim does not disable the auto-brightness! We want to increase the default brightness! How on earth can someone increase the brightness with something called SuperDim???
A simple rooting, just for the sake of installing the Disable Auto Brightness app, does not cause any problems whatsoever.

it does disable the auto brightness: select lock.
SuperDIM can let the brightness go as far as stock does, have you actually tried the app, it's free, unlike the disable auto brightness.

So far the only thing that I tested that can let the brightness go higher than on stock settings is the Blend_MIUI rom by JasonStein.
Also the button backlights are a lot brighter. Drawback is that the notification LED becomes very weak.
You don't get it...do you???
You are messing up this thread, which can be useful to many irritated SE owners, just because you don't want to spend 0.69 euros for an app!
SuperDim doesn't do the job of Disable Auto Brightness! End of story!

It does here, I can only recommend it. No need to waste money on a different app.

Let them pay if they want to. They support the economy
So I thought, I would not be a write hw_config.sh or somewhere else in the brightness value? In principle, the values are stored somewhere on how to reduce or increase the brightness
sorry my bad english.
from hwconfig.sh
echo 1 > $dev/lcd-backlight/als/enable #Sensor on/off. 1 = on, reg 90h
so a echo 0 should disable your AmbientLightSensor ;-)
Sent from my MT15i using Tapatalk
thank you answer, and the brightness can not be increased?
now set hw_config.sh :
echo 1,40,255,35,35,1,100 > $dev/lcd-backlight/als/curve # ALS curve display BL [grp],[Y0],[Y3],[K1],[K2],[X1],[X2]
maybe other value ?
if we are appliing the arc's hw_config file on neo,automatic light switch is appeared.
auto brightness work perfect and fine on EVERY ARC STOCK ROM.
here is what is problem with all of you.
Take scale from 2 to 0 (imaginar).
Neo auto brightness work following 2 - 1.5 - 1 - 0.5 - 0
Arc auto brightness work following 2 - 1.8 - 1.6 - 1.4 - 1.2 - 1.0 - 0.8 - 0.6 - 0.4 - 0.2 - 0
Arc have more steps from high brightness to low brightness and its slower.
Many of you dosent RECOGNIZE that change.
Take your arc in dark room, place one small LED diode on to sensor, and watch how slowly arc get higher brightness.
Also turn off quickly yours LED diodes and watch yours arc brightness droping down slowly.
TEST your self if you dont belive.
Many tried this and report me back that it work, but they were think like you.
hi

The brightness of the device is low compared to other devices like RAY and x10 and Arc S
Is there a way to increase it more and make it like RAY?
Or that is the maximum capability of the screen?

It disables the ALS so will it give more brightness as compared to full brightness when ALS is enabled?
