x10i eternity rom build 003
i tried using every brightness app/widget possible to turn it off but as soon as i turn it off and put the phone under different light setting i can see that the auto brightness is still on
i tried using adjbrightness but it keeps telling me that my phone isnt rooted; anyone get this app to work on x10??
please help n sorry if this questions been asked and answered before. this forum is getting too big and broad sometimes to find anything
thx in advance
Have you tried Sparepart? (That's the name)
Strange, i can't seem to turn on my autobrightness. It used to work perfectly in android 1.6. And i haven't noticed it untill recently. When auto brightness is checked, it just stays the same, even when i hold it directly under a lamp. Maby there is a bug in the software that prevents switching it on or off?
I'd also like an answer to this problem, because with auto brightness on the telephone is a battery eater.. you have to keep it to the minimum level to disable it, but when you are under a strong light, like outdoor with a sunny weather, it's difficult to see your screen's details. as you select a brightness level different from zero, the autobrightness turns on and eats the battery.
I hope I'm missing the solution to this, and somebody will help, because all the applications i've tried (spareparts included) didn't worked.
I'm quite confuse now.....
What actually do we need......
Turn it on...
or
Turn it off...
LOL
heh, so some people want a way to turn it off and others, like me, want to find a way to turn it on?
what a crazy phone..
I'm sure there used to be a tick box in the display settings to turn on/off the auto brightness. Anyway, i've tried various applications myself to get it on but nothing does it. I think the best solution is for us all to swap phones .
Spare Parts doesn't work for me, i tried enabling it, restarting the phone and jumping under my duvet.. but it didn't change
Did you update to 2.1? It was disabled in 2.1 as far as I know.
So the easiest solution, upgrade to 2.1! Else, I don't remember the menu but it's somewhere in the settings under 1.6.
I think we've all updated to 2.1 here =)
and yes, in 1.6 there was a box to tick to unable/disable autobrightness.
But, in 2.1, this feature has disappeared, leaving a seekbar and a damned widget which doesn't allow you to set or no autobrightness.
Hi,
The autobrightness is still there. It can be turned on/of from a stock SE connection widget. The different state for brightness is "minimum" -> "auto" -> "maximum"

I can get, either 0%, or 100% brightness, with the ambient sensor disabled. Anything in-between, fades constantly.
No fix for this, i presume?
Reading websites while the screen fades in/out every couple of seconds drives me mad.
Ive never had any problem with it as long as you dont lean in front of it all the time lol.

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..

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.
Change the minimum brightness level from usual 10 to 1. It doesn't modify the autobrightness level map so automatic brightness won't be lowered (though it can be easily adjusted on CM11).
This is so far exactly the same as GravityBox offers (modifying 'config_screenBrightnessSettingMinimum').
But Minimum Brightness offers one unique feature - it also modifies the lower brightness levels in MX Player (free/paid). Because no matter whatever you use manual or auto brightness, MX Player always uses minimum brightness of 0.05 (12/255, 19/255, 27/255, 36/255...). To actually lower the brightness, you would have to turn off brightness control in MX Player or use one of many 'overlay filter brightness app'.
So Minimum Brightness module retains the same quadratic function for brightness levels but includes lower values (1/255, 4/255, 9/255, 16/255, 25/255...).
Minimum Brightness uses value 1/255 which might not be suitable for every display (meaning LCD) but it suits perfectly my Super AMOLED screens (Galaxy S5 / Galaxy Tab S 8.4) and watching videos at night is still enjoyable.
There are many excellent auto brightness apps (Lux, Darker etc) that can use overlay filters to lower brightness even more so it's up to everyone to try and decide.
This module has been merged into new module http://forum.xda-developers.com/xposed/modules/mod-xposed-tweaks-cm-t3279109. Please check that module for any future updates.
Hello! Thanks for the mod, I will test
Works very nice on Xperia Z2, however minimum brightness is absolute darkness Could you please add an option to define minimum brightness value?

The situation is the same on my Xperia SP. When I set the brightness to miniumum the screen is totally black, also when the backlight decreases after 10 seconds screen gets black.
Hi! Tried min brightness but when screen is set to the lowest level, I get a white screen after locking the phone.

Really great tweak!! I'm noobie in Android enviroment with my new Elephone P3000S and the lowest screen brightness is to high for me so your tweak is very usefull.
I also have the issue that the lowest brightness level sets the screen completly black and I have been scared for 1 hour truing to solve a completely black, touching all buttons but the phone didn't "wake up". Finally, pressing power buttom + volumen up + home soft key it has worked :angel:
So it would be very important to prevent black screen by allowing the user to set the minimun level.
Thanks!
Hey, I know making GUI is a pain in the ass so can you please make alternative version with minimum brightness set to 2? That will satisfy most of people complaining here. Your app is currently the only dimmer working on lollipop.

I will have a new device soon so that could make me change my mind about lowest value and UI.

In the first post you can find archive containing multiple versions of module with different low values.
How to disable this module...?
I installed this module last night, enabled it in Xposed Framework, but did nothing with it. Then this afternoon I opened the Settings menu, went to Display, and before I could do anything else I received a phone call. As I terminated the call, the screen flashed, the phone rebooted--and after restarting it is completely, or almost completely blank. If I repeatedly tap the power button I get a fraction-of-a-second glimpse of the SIM PIN screen at normal brightness. This leads me to the suspicion that, by some weird combination of bad luck and an accidental touch of a finger after terminating the phone call, that the Minimum Brightness somehow got set--although why the phone then rebooted I don't know.
Anyway, by luck and good judgement I finally managed to enter the correct SIM PIN and then the phone unlock PIN. However, I can do nothing else. The screen is still blank, and as the phone is currently unlocked I don't want to touch the power button. Before sending the phone back to the manufacturer or anything drastic like that, I would like to try disabling the Xposed Framework. Whilst trying to find something useful in Windows Explorer I found Xposed-Disabler-Recovery.zip in the Internal storage\Android\data\de.robv.android.xposed.installer\files folder on my phone. I assume that this should be what I need. However, as I cannot see anything on the screen I would need to know the exact buttons to press, in which order and how many times etc, in order to enter the Recovery menu and do what is needed. According to the phone manufacturer the OS is unmodified Android 4.4.2., although strangely they will not even tell me which keys to press to enter the Recovery menu (long story, the upshot is, they flat out refuse to help apart from suggesting returning the phone).
Note that I only suspect it is the Minimum Brightness module that is causing the problem, however the problem did not exist before yesterday (when I installed the module), and as I was about to do something with the brightness when the phone rebooted itself, it seems too much of a coincidence to be anything else. If I cannot disable the module/framework, the only other thing I can think of is a factory reset--but again I would need to know exactly which buttons to press, in which order etc. Unfortunately at the moment USB debugging is not enabled, and again without the screen I cannot access it to turn it on.
Any help or suggestions hugely appreciated.

Xposed now sports a safemode which allows you to disable Xposed during bootloops. To disable Xposed, you'll have to repeatedly tap one of the hardware buttons (Power, Volume, or Home) on your device during startup.
During boot, your device will vibrate twice when it detects the first key press. You'll then have five seconds to press that same button four more times, with each keystroke producing a short single vibration. After ending with a long vibration, your device will disable and prevent most of Xposed's actions, allowing you to easily troubleshoot problematic modules.
Sorted
Outstanding, thanks.

The MX Player part still works. I don't know about the lowest value of brightness in general but at least with CM12 & Samsung the brightness goes to the hardware minimum by default.
Thanks, this is exactly what I want.
Could you make it for LP ?
I want my phone be absolute zero brightness for driving navigation.
Tested it on CM12.1 Nightly on the Nexus 6. It works here, but on 0 the screen is a bit purple. However, I guess this is the screen's fault

Yes it works
This module seems to be working well on the Moto X Pure Edition (Motorola xt1095) running Lollipop 5.1. It's an AMOLED screen, and I personally find the minimum brightness on 5.1 too bright, so this has helped solve that.
-12/7/15 Update -
LG's online chat feature was of no help either. I was told to utilize autobrightness, turn off battery saver, and factory data reset phone. No other options were given except to exchange the device. 3 years these phones have auto dimming problems, and 3 years no answers.
love this phone, but experiencing a strange screen brightness issue.
i do not use auto brightness. Any time i ever put my brightness over 50%, the screen dims itself 5 seconds after unlocking.
but when it's at exactly 50%, it does not dim.
Can anybody help me with this? 50% is bright enough but would like to have it higher without watching it dim like 5%.
anybody? I've had 2 v10's now thru AT&T, i don't know why I'm the only one having this problem

Go to settings, display, brightness.
Make sure the auto brightness box is unchecked.

As it said in my original post, I do not use auto brightness.
Guys, this has been an issue with the G3 as well as the G4. There is simply no way that this is not some sort of widespread issue that everyone else thinks is normal.
Is there some way to override the auto dim? Why is LG the only company that seems to struggle with this feature?

I get that you said that.
But there's two ways to turn it on and off.
And there could be a fault with the pull down menu one.
Or the other way around.
It's a suggested thought, to give a try.

It doesn't work. Nothing seems to work. Lux brightness doesn't even work.
Is your phone rooted?
What is your Screen Timeout set to? Maybe its only set for 10 or 15 seconds so when you unlock the screen the timer thinks its ready to start turning off the screen due to no activity. Just a suggestion.

It's not just your phone or LG that's having that problem and I know this is a older thread but I have a ZTE zMAX Pro and every now and then mines dims after I unlock it. Very annoying because I don't even know what it is that makes it stop doing it. I press in on the screen and sometimes it comes in but I don't know what that's about. And it hasn't always done that it just started the last couple of days.
Use Yet Another Auto Brightness aka YAAB, set max and min brightness both to 50%, start the service and you're all set
I turned off adaptive brightness, but while manual brightness is set to maximum I noticed the screen also increases/decreases brightness depending on the outdoor conditions. Sometimes seems it gets even brighter that max manual setting.
Anyone else experienced this?
Hi @mejgs
I too had this annoying issue. Apparently this is caused by an app called "Device Health Services". Disabling it solved the issue for me. Do give it a try & let us know your observation
I noticed it too. Did u experience any issue when disabling it? I am rooting, thinking of uninstalling it altogether. Google has some unwanted apps bundled with Android one.

Look carefully. You are supposed to have that app pre-installed. The app package is named com.google.android.apps.turbo
Thanks All. Disabling DEVICE HEALTH SERVICES fixes the auto brightness issue.

Disabled it, still the same issue. So far tried:
- Turned off adaptive brightness, rebooted
- Turned off adaptive battery, rebooted
- Disabled Device Health check, rebooted
- A combination of above
Still nothing!
It's getting beyond irritating now. Everytime I need to read any message or do anything on the phone need to manually lower the brightness and increase it again. That normalizes it for a like half a minute and then goes dim again.
Same issue with my Mi A3 and adaptive auto brightness.
I keep adaptive brightness on all time and when I unlock directly with fingerprint sensor half of the times if not more phone wakes up with high brightness...and doesn't go down...slider is on the dark side and not showing the real brightness...and to change the brightness I have to move around the slider...
It is quite annoying..I disabled device health and seems slightly better but the bug is still there...am I the only one with this problem?
I don't think its a bug but rather a way for the optical in-display fingerprint to properly recognize our fingerprints.
