It is my understanding that the result of "less bright LED" in recent versions was since that is also now a factor of overall ambient light (just like the brightness of the screen).
I am convinced there might be a very smart way to re-program that but personally the quickest way for me was to use Light Manager (but initially avoid the extra notifications and settings that require polling since that will keep the CPU from going to deep sleep).

OK been using adj brightness in the market and it was brilliant in brightness control. Unfortunately it doesn't work on the galaxy s2 and because my eyes play up, am finding the phone to bright for me especially when using it at night when lights are off, what alternatives are their to lower the brightness level please.?
For Amoled screens of any type "Screen Filter" seems to be the best.
I agree. Screen Filter seems to be excellent and can make the screen as dark as you ever want. (to a level that no LCD can ever go to imo)
Thanks guys it worked it is the best av seen so far.
I got mine sgs2 on Saturday and hadn't really thougth I would need an App to control this, the settings ont he power widget were good enough for me. However, I tried this out for a laugh and it works well. Will definitely use it at night time.
Although at the moment I am just enjoying the super brightness
Birghtness control from the notification bar
Can one still adjust the brightness by swiping the finger along the notification bar, like one did on the i9000?
Can one disable the automatic brightness from somewhere in the settings menu on the i9100 in the same way as the i9000?
Yep, same thing works in the SGSII.

Your location is marked as London, so I think that you ought to be able to write a non-nonsensical sentence in English. No offence, but this is unintelligible!

Hi Crypticc,
You misunderstood what I wrote.
1) I referred to a partially completed sentence:
" How I just tried dropped down and not" - not what?
2) You have confused the verb 'to swipe' with an application called Swype.
As I noted, you wrote your location was from London, yet that you are not a native anglophone; No problem, but I was a little confused in the beginning.
To summarize: Your reply confused me. You partially clarified what you wrote, and now I understand. Thank-you.
* Back on topic
In order to change the brightness by swiping along the notification bar, please ensure that you have turned off the automatic brightness adjustment setting in the menu. I do not recall the exact name. Then, it should work.
I think that this can be found in : Settings -> Display -> Brightness
Best regards.

I tried rather than did that's the problem
( swype just replaced swipe with swype - oh and it replaced a few other words too).
That said, thanks for the tips folks; both on previewing/reviewing posts, plus on how to swipe to change the brightness.
What would you all suggest be the optimal brightness setting to put the phone on?

xperia s has auto briightness which you cannot turn off.it wastes battery it does this by the ambient light sensor,anyone know an app to turn it off?
You can change your brightness with any widget. Also from my experience auto brightness saves more battery than it drains.

Tried it doesn't work. I set a brightness but when I put my finger over the sensor it changes the brightness. The brightness change is only like 10% either way from the set brightness. So its like partial auto brightness. But i want to turn it off altogether.
Go to Playstore and search "Toggle ALS Xperia"

Doesnt this defeat the object of having a HD screen? :S
I cant do 0% its way too dark. The screen is killing my battery im trying my best to minimise power usage of the screen and i think this ambient sensor is part of the problem - im not too sure how much power it really uses. After very lightly using my phone for 10 hours i checked the stats and it says 50% of the energy is used by apps,wifi and phone radio which is fine, but the other 50% is used by the display...And the display was only one for 1 hour of those 10 hours.........

I have exactly the same problem!
I can't turn it OFF...I hate the Xperia S auto-brightness...it's so slow and not smooth at all...it's like varying from 10% to 10% and it never stops varying!!so annoying!...initially I even thought it was a screen/light problem until I noted "ohh...this is not a screen problem, is just an awful auto-brightness"
I tried every widget, everything and is useless! either is at 100% or 0%...the rest is AUTO-Brightness!
Then there's battery...the display is always above 65% of all power consumption...is such high percentage normal?
Need help too!

Is the app called "someone oiled"? Can't find it anywhere...anyway, tried already so many apps, widgets and FW...always the same issue, either 0%, 100% or auto.
I have a blocked bootloader so I guess there's no way I can switch the freagging Auto-Brightness off. Just another disappointment regarding this phone, among many others

At night even at 0% brightness I find the phone too bright and would like a way to lower it. I also think the minimum volume level is too loud to be comfortable in a quiet room and would like a method to lower that as well. My last request is a technique to seperate ringtone and notification volume levels. If any of these are actually possible through MODs without hobbled fixes by apps in the Play Store, I would love it! I'm running a modded stock non-deodexed ROM with unlocked bootloader and ROOT.

to lower the autobrightness values, everything is in /system/framework/framework-res.apk - res/values/arrays.xml

Thanks for the reply! Will modifying these values enable the phone to go lower than the stock 0% brightness? I don't use auto brightness and keep my DNA at 0% brightness most of the time, only going higher in sunlight.

I don't know if you'll consider this a "hobbled app" fix, but I've been using Power Toggles to substitute for my CM habit.
You can adjust notification and ringtone volumes from the notification drawer that way.

Thanks for the suggestion. I tried it out and while it does have separate sliders for the two volumes, it does NOT actually work. The two volumes are still tied together in practice. After ICS I think I've read its linked at a system or kernel level and I was hoping someone might work on a fix to address this. Also, referring to "hobbled" app fixes, I saw an app that used a workaround by switching to a custom ringtone to adjust that volume separately but was hoping for a streamlined system built in mod so that I don't have any extraneous apps or screens to delve into to adjust settings. I like minimalistic and debloat anything I dont use. Thanks again for the feedback.
i agree 100% with the sound being too loud, which has been an issue since ICS on even the Rezound...so i think their whole upgrade of the newer OS's made the volume louder. the rezound, on lowest sound level, was 20%..that's ridiculous, it should be half that, or around like 5%. even changing volume steps never worked because there was no lower volume.

Seems possible.
I've found this http://dl-developer.sonymobile.com/code/modules/IlluminationIntent.java
I think screen on - half brightness, screen off -tuen leds off?
Depends on my lazyness I might have something in a week or two.

It's a way for android application to control the leds.
Hoever I dod not manage to control the led brightness, whatever valu I give it it is always the same, but still more than the default.
So you can try this app.
Unlike the default illumination the led stays on all the time, untill the screen is off.
Just run the application once, after you install it. There is no interface, it just need to be started once to work.
In case the lights stay on when screen is off, run it again.
If youuninstall it you will have to reboot to get the leds to work as normal.
Can the vibration strength be increased on the stock kernel more than the default maximum? I downloaded 2 apps that have the ability to decrease this but not increase it. Just curious if this is possible without a custom kernel.
Thanks to anyone who attends to this question.

i thought i responded for this question somewhere. Yes, i use faux123 app and i am able to adjust the vibration strength on stock kernel.
ok here is a screen shot of the vibration control on the faux app.

Thank you for replying, yes you already did reply. And I followed up to you reply. But, I downloaded this app and navigated to that setting. The app has it already set at 100%. The app does not increase the vibration beyond 100%. You can only reduce the vibration strength with the app.
