Hi folks!
I installed night mode app for my xperia u. it reduces the brightnes of the screen and turns off the light strip. However one time, when I used night mode one night, lol, the brightness was reduced, BUT the light bar was still on! I checked all the settings and done all I can, but it was still there. I had to do a factory reset to fix it. I'm worried this might happen again, what do you guys think happened and how to prevent it?
Thank you!!

Yeah, I have tried that. But considering to ditch night mode. Do you think night mode caused that issue regarding the light bar?

black tape it or use permanent marker
Hello,
I think ales47 is searching for the possibility to turn off LED only while charging. Otherwise, in normal use, he wants the LED to work normally.
Is it possible to turn off the LED only while charging phone?
Yeah i too think of the same thing. actually the green light is very much bright than the yellow one. i have to keep it upside down to keep the light off. other than that i have no idea to consider you.
or you have to use a light form or something (that it wont hurt the screen) when you charge. and the miss call notification is very annoying at night too. every flash will kill your sleep slowly. i have to clear the notifications before i sleep.
Any other suggestions?

Seriously, you are very helpful to us
haven't tried it out myself, but in settings - profiles you select a profile, and the last option PHONE, the last option again is LIGHTS MODE and is set in no override.
You could create a profile for the night with the setting switched to OFF.
Hope it works

I once tried the profile thing but i had no notifications. but this is regarding a light steadily lighting. i guess it is for the notifications only.
I don't know why it bothers you at night... at some point I can't even sleep without having light on phone... Put a tape over the LED? I just think it's not possible to change this...
Hey bro you really should search before starting a new thread
Have a look at this, i suggest you read the whole topic.

Hi,
Since a couple of days I've noticed that my screen flickers sometimes.
Mostly when I'm moving my hand while holding the phone...
Is it possible that the light sensor auto adjusts my screen brightness ?
If so, how can I turn it off ?
Thanks in advance,
Niels
If you have rooted the phone, you can install Disable Auto Brightness for Xperia phones. or you can disable it manually editing the file /ect/hw_config.sh.
Search the forum for the tutorial
Thanks for your answer !
So unless you start rooting or changing files there's no way to stop the flickering ?
Unfortunately, no. By the way, this problem usually affects st15 models... as far as i know, you've been unlucky
Okay, I'm sure now that it's really because of the lightsensor and not just a problem with my screen.
I was standing near a window and when I put my finger on the lightsensor a few times the brightness was clearly automaticly adjusted...
I'll look for the tutorial, thanks for the info !
Other solutions, if any, are still welcome though

Hey, my ST15i does also automatically adjust the brightness....it's not a problem mate When i am outdoors the screen get brighter but when i am indoors my screen automatically gets darken
Yes I now, but I find it annoying, it gets flickery sometimes..
I want the screen to stay on the brightness I've set.
today I was wondering why this phone doesnt have auto brightness adjustment feature, because I have to manually turn brightness to zero when using phone while on bed at night. I looked into settings and no such feature found, I wonder the light sensor actually works
Yes it does, I've tested it.
Try standing near a window or holding it near a lamp and put your finger on the sensor... (The screenbrightness may not be set to 0 if you try this..)
I too find it strange that there's no possibility to set the auto adjust on/off..
Niels
I don't think there is any auto-brightness option in LWW as I've not found any. if there were any then they would have provided an check box option turn it on/off. but the brightness ups and downs happens to me to specially when i've put the brightneww to lowest level at night. could not explain myself.
yup it works (just checked thru window operation )

The fact that you can't turn it on/off doesn't mean it doesn't work. Actually, the auto-brightness is always on. You can disable it manually editing /etc/hw_config.sh or using the app Disable Auto Brightness Xperia. You need root anyway.
I put my phone in the Samsung dock to charge overnight. It goes first to Desk home screen then to a clock that moves around. This is the desired behavior but the clock screen is too bright. How can I dim JUST that one mode? I don't any of the other modes to be dimmer.
TIA

Bump again... I appreciate that this may be below the technical interest level of the many great contributors to this forum but my wifie is about to insist that I put the phone in a drawer at night.

You could try the app 'screen filter'. You'd have to manually turn it on and off, but might do what you need.
Thanks... I was hoping for an automated feature. I can dim it manually each time now. This phone is so good it is hard to imagine there is not a setting or tweak that can't handle this but I still haven't found it. For that matter I can't even find the settings for night time (bedside) mode.
Thanks again.

Hi all! I'm having some brightness issues on my Razr i and any help would be great!
I'm on stock 4.1.2 and was using Power Toggles brightness slider to change the brightness, but suddenly, with no changes on the phone, the brigthness level would change only after turning screen off/on. But the problem is not related to the app I think, because even auto brightness isn't working properly... I mean, when it has to get brighter, it works, but when it has to dim, again only if I turn off/on the screen.
Does anyone know what could be causing it?
Thanks in advance!
Sorry for the bad english.

Although you don't think the app is causing the brightness problem's I would recommend uninstalling it for troubleshooting purposes and seeing if after you have uninstalled the app and rebooted the phone if after some time the problem persists. This way we can rule out if the app is or isn't causing the problem.

Thanks for the reply. I did uninstall it and the problem remains... I installed volume slider (which has a brightness slider too) and the same happens: non "real time" brightness changing and the auto brightness still doesn't work properly... =/

That is odd, I would recommend booting into recovery and performing a factory reset and then see if that fixes your problem.

This is what I was afraid of... =/
I will just wait a little longer to see if anybody faced this issue before. I'm pretty sure a factory reset will do (since it started to act like this all of a sudden) but I want to find the cause so it won't happen again or, if it happens, I won't need to do a factory reset...
It's weird... what could make this issue appear? =/

One possible way of figuring out what is causing this issue to happen is to generate a logcat when you are adjusting the brightness settings and see if the log reports any background processes that are causing errors with the brightness control.

Thanks for helping me!
I never generated a logcat before. So I installed CatLog from Store and generated a logcat doing the following:
1) Set brightness to auto
2) Put the phone under a lamp
3) Turned of all the lights: the brightness didn't change
4) Turned off and on the screen: when the screen turned on, the brightness was already on a lower level
The logcat is pretty messed... it shouldn't be like that right? =/
Is this helpful?

From looking at the logcat there is a lot of errors and warning messages with loading certain library files and Android runtime services that relate to power and screen brightness sensing. Another peculiar thing I noticed was that NFC seemed to be generating a couple error messages as well. Overall you were definitely right about it not being a normal log in this situation, I also like your testing methodology :good:.

You could also try re-flashing the stock ROM to see if that fixes it, another suggestion that could possibly work is running a fix permissions utlity.
Reflashed stock rom and reinstalled all my apps. Everything was fine. Went to bed and woke up, the same problem with power toggles reappeared...
EDIT: found what was causing it! It is the latest version of Floating Notifications (when show on lockscreen is enabled)!
Thanks a lot shimp!

That's wicked bizarre that even after all those things the problem still persists. You could try bringing it in to Verizon to see if they can do anything otherwise a hardware issue may have arisen.

My Flash Light automatically turns on every few minutes (at random time). The "Flash Notification" is turned off. This problem is draining my battery. It does it always, even when the phone is idle. I cant figure out what triggers the flash light. I tried starting my phone in safe mode, but the problem persists. I dont want to RESET my phone right now (for some special reasons). How can I fix it? Is there anyway I can pinpoint the process that is triggering the flashlight? (my phone is Samsung S6 Edge)
Using stock or custom rom??
Turn off gesture control!

Thank u for the reply bro, its STOCK ROM, I have never flashed it. I m really helpless now. I wish there is some kinda process identifier which can show me which program or process actually turns on the light.

Thank u for the reply, I have never messed with any setting and it has never been this way. Its Samsung S6 Edge, there is no off-screen gestures kinda thing but I turned off all the Edge Screen settings. Its been happening for 6 months. I have not installed any untrusted apps.
