There is no such option on Xperia phones.
Without root, you cannot turn off the autobrightness. That is, only with root you can turn it off.
The screen flickering means light sensor is changing the screen brightness.

I think you have to upgrade it, if you are in FW .58 or .42. If you are in .62 may you have to re-flash it.

Sure, but even with a rooted phone there's no option to disable autobrightness.
You have to install "Disable Auto Brightness Xperia".
Or you can edit /etc/hw_config.sh to disable the light sensor.
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.

So this isn't really a big deal but when my screen turns off it turns off like a tv where as when it turns on it just pops up like normal. Is this just how it is with ROMs or is there a way to change it back. I noticed this was happening too with my LG Esteem.

Depending on the ROM you should be able to disable CRT animation in display settings or general rom settings.

Odd. I wouldn't be surprised if someone has created a mod to remove the CRT animation. Check the mod threads and see. You can always try requesting the mod, or even ask in the rom thread for a toggle.
I downloaded CM12 this morning using the updater. Auto update worked but lots of upgrade issues. Must update Framework but then things got better. Chrome is broken so I'm using stock browser. Recovery is awful. Make a backup before doing it but it sure is a start!

how did you install gapps? the recovery wont let me install them
I was able to. I had to copy it to internal sdcard though.
If you have FC crashes try uninstalling and reinstalling the apps. That helped me with several like News and Weather and Newsstand and Drive.

Pretty decent nightly, had issue with backlight setting that messed up screen brightness after screen lock. Had to reflash, there was no way back. I would suggest people avoid playing with backlight setting for the meantime.

My Bluetooth is working fine, both to my Pebble watch and car.
I'm not sure what's up with backlight on this build. You have two options that seem to be the same on the DISPLAY settings, one says "Adaptive Brightness, Optimize brightness level for available light" and the other says "Adaptive Backlight, Dynamically adjust the brightness of the display's backlight to maximize battery life while maintaining usability".
The first one seems to adjust properly, and the slider bar does seem to set the upper limit for this level.
The 2nd one is a bit more problematic, I'm not really sure it works or how it functions in conjunction with the other one.
Anyone figure this out yet?
BTW I tried the full version of Lux with both of them turned off and it didn't end up well, the screen became so dark I ended up having to reboot and remove it.

restarted my phone two times and got BT audo, spotify works fine, but if i start Valiant Hearts the audio get realy static and laggy
EDIT:
New build just Launched!
Could you post some Screenshots? I'd like to see how application box and the main screen look like
Thanks!
Anyone tried from clean flash?
Has anyone tried flashing the nightly after doing a complete wipe? Seems like many of the problems mentioned may be avoided by a clean install.
If someone has done a clean install, can you let us know if there are any bugs remaining?
Thanks

I didn't bother with Lux, just playing with those two settings made my screen super dark, had to reflash.

My understanding of the Z Ultra is that the kernel and recovery are both on the boot partition and are not actually separate. If you install TWRP or Philz you will wipe the CM12 kernel out and you won't boot, just be able to get into recovery. Those recoveries are built for stock/stock based installs where you can replace the kernel.
We will just have to wait for a good CM12 Recovery or boot to CM11 and use its recovery to backup /data and then reinstall CM12 before you boot up. I think I've seen that refered to hot booting recovery.
Please feel free to correct me if you are a dev and know more about this than me.

Had the same issue. Just leave the second one (adaptive backlight) enabled and the dark screen should stop. You can adjust the first one at will
