Is it possible to disable the lightsensor when the power supply is connected? Because when i use my Diamond as a navigationsystem in my car (connected to my DC-Adapter), the screen is to dark when the sun shines on my display but not at the lightsensor.
next posibility
perhaps it is possible to change the sensibility, that lower daylight will rise the backlight to its maximum.
It is simple to disable auto adjustment on the backlight. Go into settings, choose the system tab and click on Power. In the next screen click on backlight tabe and untick auto adjust backlight.

Hi,
According the the literature the light sensor adjusts the backlight according the the ambient light available.
Is it just me but this doesn't seem to be working and yes 'Auto adjust backlight' is checked.
Regards.
I can actively see this working all the time, if you happen to hold your hand over a bit of the screen you'll notice it slightly fade. I'ts not a major difference but it's def there.

On my TD2 it is working, but the change in backlight are not so obvious, you have to pay attention to see it: the change is not instantaneous, it is gradual (over a 0.5s time maybe), and it does not change much (not as much as the powersaving no-activity backlight level, which is much lower).
The best way I have found to check if it work is to be in a moderately lit room, and cover/nucover the light sensor with your finger. You should be able to notice the small change in backlight level as you cover/uncover the sensor....
BTW, anyone knows if it is possible to tune the backlight level/ ambiant light function? I would like to keep the auto-adjust, but lower the backlight level when it is completely dark to the minimal setting (or even lower), similar to the powersaving level I was talking about above.
This very low level is not nice for watching movies or pictures (it skew the color rendering because white is not white anymore, it is yellowish grey), but I find it ideal for ebook reading in the dark (it saes the battery, it is not tiring for the eye, and it is not bothering for the sleeping beauty sharing my bed when I read late ;-) )

When I move around (indoor/outdoor), the screen brightness is very consistant (and colors are brilliant too), I persume the light sensor worked
but TD2 did not respond to my random playing of the sensor.. the finger trick did not work for me, but i don't care

Maybe a stupid question...but maybe you mistake the LED for the light sensor.
The indicator led is on the left of the speaker grid, the light sensor on the right...if you have ticked automatic in the backlight intensity (parameter/more/alimentatation section, backlight subsection), you should definitely see a change if you are under bright light and cover/uncover the light sensor just right of the speaker grid.
BTW, thanks fort the g-light application, it is working nicely!
Could even save battery, although maybe this is mitigated by having one more background process running for polling the light sensor data...
I just received a Desktop Dock yesterday with he hope that my N1 could replace my old, very bright plug-in alarm clock which lights up the whole room at night.
Unfortunately the N1 is at least as bright, if not brighter when docked, even with the "Green display" which comes on after holding the brightness button.
Is there any way to lower the brightness of this app further while it is running? I have tried the brightness slider in settings and this seems to have no effect. If I can't make it any dimmer I'll have to go back to my old alarm clock!
Also, is there any way to turn off the backlight on the "Soft buttons" at the bottom of the screen? They always seem to glow white!
If it helps, I'm running CM 5.0.6
Thanks!
Try hitting the clock brightness button once to turn down screen brightness completely. Once the screen is dimmed, hold it to get the green clock. That doesn't light my room in any way.
Cheers.
As mentioned I've already tried this and it still lights up the room. Not to a massive degree but it is still lighter than my alarm clock.
Any other suggestions?
I had just this problem! There are some free alarm clock apps in the Market that let you change the color/hue/brightness, and for a while I was making do with one of them with the font color set to a very dim grey.
Now I use "Bedside" and "LEDs Hack", both from the same developer. The latter is free, and automatically turns off the LED lights when I plug my phone in. The former was $1.50 well spent, and automatically mutes the phone, dims the screen, and displays a truly dim alarm clock when I plug my phone in. Both restore things back as soon as I unplug my phone in the morning. Both are very configurable. I can't recommend them highly enough.
They sound cracking, I'll give them a go tonight. Thanks!
Press the dim button to lower brightness then hold on to it to put it in clock mode it will be really dim but I don't like how the buttons are still lit :/

Do you have the auto brightness setting off?
I have it on, and find that the green clock screen is just right (and a lot dimmer than our alarm clock light which I've now switched off.
LEDs Hack is great for taking the LEDs off!
Hi all,
I am using Wear Mini launcher where you can adjust the screen brightness with a slider. When set to minimum, the active brightness level is actually lower than the dimmed mode level.
How is this possible? Is there a way to set the dimmed brightness level? I am using a workaround where I use a custom watchface and have a big black circle over the watchface with opacity 50% when at dimmed, but notifications come over this and are shown at normal dimmed level.
anyone encountered this or knows how to set dimmed level?
Cheers!
Yes, brightness works only for active mode, not for dim mode
Some Watchface like this from Smartwatch Bureaux have 2 brightness setting for active et for dim mode.
Have the same problem, its the only reason why I have always on off
Sorry but, how do i activate dim mode? Can i always turn dim mode "on"?

Yes if you turn off automatic screen activation with movement in parameter.

Just updated my apps and the "Skymaster Pilot Watch Face" had a brightness setup in 6 level for dim mode. Level 1 is almost screen off (I'm using level 3), so very good. And choice for normal or minimal face in dim mode. With low brightness level we can keep color mode
There is any way to lower the brightness on dimmed watchface?
When I'm using low brightness level, the dimmed mode is more brighter than the normal watchface.
Any tip or hack about that?
Cinema mode will turn watch face off completely however you could try a reset as it sounds like your screen brightness setting is not working as it should.
I have an issue where in the evening my screen display is turned all the way down to the lowest setting, however, with the screen wakeup the lockscreen appears as bright as can be. Once unlocked the screen is dimmed. Am I missing a setting somewhere to control this? TIA
