Hi All,
Could you please point me on the file that has settings for auto brightness? I want to increase the range, the stock one is almost unnoticeable.
Thanks in advance!
Xperia S does not have auto brightness in both Gingerbread or ICS.

What you are saying? Sure that Xperia S have auto brightness ! You probably are not able to set it :laugh:
It has auto brightness xD
Try to buy some glasses...
But without custom rom or app you cannot control it.
Cyanogen mod or app ( widgetsoid) can control it very easy.

It has auto brightness. You can go to the Service menu, Sensors section and there you will find Light sensor, there you will see its current values, as far as I remember they are 0..12 or so, but that doesn't really matter, I want to find where the dependency between Light sensor value and brightness is coded.
You should ask some rom dveloper for some info :-/

It has auto brightness, but only the smarts can see
I found this useful post.
In ICS we have it in /system/etc/als_curve and there we have 4 folders: 0, 1, 2 and 3 with limits and parameters. I assume these are 4 zones of brightness (0-25% on folder 3, 25-50% in 2, 50-75% in 1 and 75-100% in 0).
We have to change the parameters, as in the post I referred, but personally I didnt understand almost anything, so we need to try... If someone will be trying too, let me know your results!
I have found an easy way to set auto brightness and it works beautifully:
Download and install quick settings.
When you are in quick settings, tap "customize", tap the small tool icon next to brightness, and you will be asked whether to enable light sensor.
Once enabled, you will be able to use auto brightness through quick settings app.

Why couldn't they just add the option into the settings like everyone else??? Is it really that hard?

That is their style.
Go and send them mail to change it.

It is enabled by default even without 3rd-party apps. The reason of all this is to make its range bigger, more noticeable.

I also really don't understand why Sony cannot put this option just in the brightness settings.... I have had a long time thought that the SXS doesn't have auto brightness at all but dunno that its in fact hidden somewhere which can be called out easily by a 3rd party app !

It does have auto brightness, it just works a little different from what we're used to so far. You can find the brightness control in Settings->Display->Brightness (at least that's where you find it in Gingerbread). Now, the thing that creates so much confusion, is that this control shouldn't be called Brightness, but Visibility. What the phone does (and imo this is really clever), is that you move the slider to adjust the visibility of the screen best suited for your eyes and then the phone will automatically adjust the amount of light the LEDs glow using an intrinsic curve so that the same visibility is provided outdoors and indoors. You can test this. Set the slider halfway and then go outside, in the sun, and cover and uncover the light sensor a few times. You will see that the screen is dimmed and brightened up while you do that as the phone tries to maintain it's visibility to the setpoint you chose by moving the slider. Simple and clever, huh? What some may argue, is that the brightness variation is not aggressive enough, and they may have a point. Personally, I don't need to move the slider more than 20%, as the screen is perfectly visible even on a sunny day (of course, that is unless the sun directly reflects in the screen, but I found this happens only if you hold your phone on purpose and it is not a comfortable position).
Hello,
In my lt26w there is no Visibility submenu. But it looks like the application "quick settings" has make a trick.

Hi guys, a question: setting the brightness manual, you noticed by chance if entering some Apps like Facebook, Gmail, Chrome etc the same is lowered and then return to the set value when you leave? Thanks to those who will answer.
That is even with the auto brightness ticked-off and smart screen feature also off, the screen will automatically lowered after few seconds I opened the Facebook app, Chrome app for example.
same problem..
This is a serious problem with the software, but a intented one. Really makes me think about whether I keep this phone or not.
This video adresses the problem at minute 3:20.
Also the flickering of the display is a issue for sensitive users. This is the most flickering oled display I've seen so far. Adressed at minute 2:55
I really hope Huawei adresses and fixes this strange programmed behaviour. But I'm afraid they won't, because the Mate 10 Pro and P20 Pro also have this automatic brightness limiting.

Check whether the light sensor is working. The screen brightness may not adjust properly if the light sensor is covered by other objects.
Please adjust the screen brightness if you think the screen is too bright or too dark. Go to Settings and select Display > Brightness.
Please check whether the AUTO switch in the Brightness level menu is enabled. If the AUTO switch is not enabled, the screen brightness may fail to adjust automatically. You can go to Settings > Display > Brightness level to enable the AUTO switch
Dude, this is so off topic. Has nothing to do with the sensor. It is software.
Check the internet for Huawei brightness dimming, screen dimming and power genius. You will find many topics which adress this problem. It is a problem in many Huawei phones. Mate 9, Mate 10 Pro, P10, P20 pro, they all suffer from this same problem which the Mate 20 Pro also happens to have unfortunately...
Is there a solution for this problem, I also have the same issue on my Mate 20 PRO. Is any chance to EMUI 9.1 solve this problem ?
Removing powergenie through adb solves this problem
What is the adb?

Hi.
So Im all around pretty happy with the photos taken in pro mode with Mate 20 pro.
But.
It seems I can't control shutter, aperture or ISO while I try to record a video in pro mode. Or maybe I can but I'm just stupid?
I've been looking for an answer for 2 hours now, but didn't even find any questions.
So how is it? Can it be done natively or not? If not is there an app that actually allows to do this?
Cheers, Michal
Hi guys
I know this is a long shot but does anyone know of a camera app that allows you to adjust the flash.
I know we can adjust the brightness of the torch on these phones so it could be possible.
I really need it for when I'm video recording as the led light is just too bright while I'm recording.
Thanks for any help given
Anyone?
So it really doesn't exist.
That's a shame, it would save having one of those clip on phone lights
The rom Havoc for Redmi K20 Pro is very nice, with good options. Bugs: the camera closes, the keyboard closes, the fingerprint fails a lot, when the screen turns on it always enters with the maximum brightness no matter what brightness it has. It does not have two touches to wake up the screen, I love the Live display menu for its temperature and to handle the colors, brightness, saturation, tone. Thank you very much for your work, it is excellent.
thank you for posting in the wrong section

For ROM feedback, respond directly to the topic where you obtained the ROM, to make it easier for the developer to see your comment, get help, or provide logs.

Instead of posting useless comments, you should report it.
???
Based on what you said, it sounds like a terrible rom for day to day use.. I hope it is still in alpha or beta stage.
