Hi guys I came across this app online and i decide to try it out. Its called the brightness motion. There's a lite and pro version. What this app does is actually to let you easily change your phone display brightness by shaking your phone left or right to increase or decrease brightness if you don't really like the auto brightness and that the presets of brightness in the power control widget is too bright and wastes battery.
Here's a link

Brightness always at Max!

I'm using Widgetsoid and you can set the brightness with as many different increments and %'s that you want. I would bet most widget apps like that or Elixir would have similar settings. Widgetsoids were on the global settings and not the Widgets settings itself.

Hey guys,
Wat's te ideal brightness setting for the battery? Mines on about 20-30% but in battery usage it says 58% usage and the phone hardl last a day ...
Any thoughts?
Stats in Battery usage graph and your Brightness level is completely two different things.
I always use Auto.
I think I will try that. I also wonder if noled app is having an effect but I set the brightness on that to 1%.
Ever since 2.3.4 I've had mine on full brightness. The battery on 2.3.4 roms has always been good for me.
Is that stock or custom ROM?
Also anyone find that once the battery saver option kicks in that when it recharges that the settings don't switch back to what they were previously? A bit annoying as I don't want to have to manually change my screen timeout etc everytime.
Also what's the option for adjust screen brightness tickbox about just below the general brightness setting? Don't quite understand that.

You mean background effect?
- Dynamic: bright, vivid colors
- Standard: standard colors.
- Movie: contrast higher, warmer image.

I think the option is: "Auto adjust power" int he Display settings menu. Something about analyzing images or something.
Anyone able to expand upon this please?

since its upgrading to samoled+ even we set the brighness to 0 it is still bright but then again depending your eyes and needs of battery consumption (bc) theres also a"custom rom"way like hollow to follow or if you prefered moderate usage without flashing i think on 20-30% bright it contribute to bc
My browser is set is have the brightness at 0 which is fine, I think there's a service in the background using more CPU than it needs. Likelihood it is a Glu game ~.~.
Hey,
Do you use Auto brightness or no?
If not, why?
I use auto as it doesn't affect my battery much needed screen look nicer when it's brighter. But there r pple tat use lowest brightness settings for battery savings reason

Yes, yes I do.

I don't. It drain's my battery more than manual settings. Slide your finger over notification area to adjust brightness manually.
I'm on MIUI so I can change from the notification bar. It depends, if I'm charging I'll have full brightness to show off the sexy SAmoled+ display. But if I'm out and trying to conserve battery I'll have it on auto.

Off.
Use quick settings via notification, hate brightness changing all time so its all way down except when need to up brightness manually.

Off. Main reason is to conserve battery. Most of the time super amoled plus display is bright enough even when close to lowest brightness. Like the others said there's a shortcut to manually increase the brightness through sliding the notification bar when needed say for example outdoors.
i never use the auto feature
Always auto.
I just can't unblock my handset when I'm out (thanks to australian sun) - I see nothing on the screen.
Unless there's a way to manually update brightness when lock screen's on ?
Off and almost always at maximum brightness. When using it in the dark (when I should be sleeping) I lower the brightness via the notification bar shortcut (that also works when the screen is locked using WidgetLocker).
No. Manual adjust is easy and more satisfying.
no!not working good....
inviato da sgs2
I do. Tried both and found that it's just as annoying having to adjust manually as it is when auto is slow

Never..... it ( almost) allways in max. It's a shame to use that beautiful screen on dull settings.
Sent from my Transformer TF101 using xda premium
Im using auto.....because home is not like outdoor.....if i make it at the lowest i wont see any thing in the outdoor.......i have it on because it stimulate the sun and the low light condition.....plus .. i dont care about the battery...i bought the phone to use it and enjoy it not to sit and watch the battery all day long and keeping myself from enjoying this coool phone...........
I use Auto; I might try manual and adjusting it now and then but at the moment I'm content with auto.
I kept it off cause you can easily changed the brightness just by sliding the notification bar
No , I use manual so I can adjust it to the way I like it.
Always off, adjust the brightness level where you suit.
Auto mode may drains battery life.
I do use auto bright
It's good to enhance your view on the mobile at any light conditions
And IT DOES NOT drain your battery . it's,false thoughts guys belive me

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.
Best Regards,
Vlad
What do you set your brightness to on your Samsung s3?
Minutes on automatic but I'm thinking of changing it and I want some opinions on what people use!
Sent from my Samsung Galaxy S III using Tapatalk 2
I also set mine on automatic, because you need a different brightness setting depending on the outside brightness where you are.
For example you would need a completely different setting when you are using your phone outdoors on a sunny day, or indoors in the evening with artificial lighting.
Hope that helps.
Full brightness for me and i adjust accordingly

0 brightness at indoor and auto brightness at outdoor
The Lux app is working very well for me. Auto-brightness works as it should have out of the box now.
I just set the brightness to 50%. Manually.
I use the display brightness app from the play store. Adds a brightness slider to screen. Much better than auto IMHO. Auto was giving me dark screens too often.

On my MB870, I'm running CyanogenMod 9-20120814-Daytona Beta1 with Go Launcher EX and I'd love to figure out how to set the screen brightness to a lower setting as I read alot at night and the lowest setting I can achieve in Aldiko reader is still too bright. I see the custom settings in the automatic backlight/ light levels/ use custom... but i cant see how to figure out shat does what. Can anyone 'shed some light' p) on these adjustments?
Download Root Dim from the Play Store. It has custom settings that you can adjust brightness with the simple touch of a shortcut in your homescreen. It works great. You can set the brightness for 5 different levels, I believe, and its easy as cake to toggle between them or select one individually.
Thanks for that app tip. Dn loaded it. Handy app. However it doesnt affect Aldiko reader. I would guess Aldiko is using sys defaults? For thebrightness range and isnt impacted by the settings in the other app. Can i reset the system levels?
I use the power control widget it always works...

Aldiko reader seems to have its own set of display brightness levels
Cuz adjustments in Root Dim app don't impact the Aldiko reader brightness range.
