a lightsensor .. why the hell does it miss this 0,02$ piece of crap? )=
Dimm screen in darkness, brighten screen in sunlight <.<
May some1 write a little application which works as a Shortcut for 2(or more) brightness settings ?
so i can place this on my homescreen and
1. click 20%brightness
2. click 75%
3. click 20%
4. click 75%

Haha true. Even my damn Sidekick had a sensor.

There is a market app called "Backlight" that does this. I don't know if it works in the Cupcake builds though...

Well, i had this idea a while ago but i thought it would eat to much battery
but it works like a charm!
http://www.cyrket.com/package/org.pbxes.light gogo get it, works fine on 1.5 !

cant this be done withe the camera and a little app. i mean i-p-tel has an app which named "helligkeitssensor" in the german market. i think its a brightness sensor which uses the camera to get information about environment brightness and then change the display brightness with this information?? like this one: Ambient Light Sensor
know what i mean??

Yes that can be done, there are several apps that do it, but a simple 2c light sensor would be much more efficient, ie less cpu, less battery wasted etc.

to the OP, have you seen this widget?

Obviously you'll need cuppycake for it to work.

[Q] LED Flashlight App

Does anyone know of a flashlight app that uses the LED camera light? Most of the ones I found in the market use the screen.

Tiny Flashlight + LED works for me.

Tiny flashlight works for me as well. Thanks.

The problem with the tesla and tiny is it shuts off as soon as you put the display in sleep. Its a pain trying to focus on something in the dark when you have light pointing at you

I agree that it should stay on like droid light when you lock the phone. Its annoying cause I need a light that does not turn off when Im working on cars at night.

i just download Tesla Flashlight and it has an option to stay on when the screen is off and it works fine

telsa is the very best man, youll love it!

[SOLVED] Xperia T - screen dimming

Hi, I love my Xperia T but there is one thing that bothers me. I noticed that every xperia T has that automatic screen dimming when viewing darker media on your screen. For example, when i turn on facebook app, before the actual app opens there is dark grey screen. During that sequence screen gets darker, and when white facebook page pops up you can actually see screen adjusting its brightness to higher "normal" level. That really bothers me especially when gaming. On dark sequences screen gets really dark, and than it takes second or two to adjust normal brightness when brighter sequences appear. You can actually see brightness going down when darker images are displayed, and then back up again when brighter images appear.
So I'm not talking about dimming when overheating or flickering (that second is fixed by jellybean update as I noticed), or etc. And before you ask me I if turned on autobrightness in display settings, it has nothing to do with that.
My question is, is there a way to turn this off because it is really annoying?

Can you read my last sentence before question, please? It has apsolutely nothing to do with that. "Adopt to light conditions" means adopt to light conditions in your sourrounding, not in your screen light conditions.

All i thought it differs to auto brightness thats why i ask it sir. Sorry for the question then

You dont have to apologise. So, the problem is that when you watch darker images, or videos, or just any darker screen on your display, contrast and brightness goes down. And when you switch to brighter screen you can actually see, with your naked eye, brightnes going up. I see that Sony intentionally put that feature, but it is very, very stupid one. There is no point in making dark images even darker with even less contrast. I assume they wanted to achieve better black levels that way, or I don't know, but it is very stupid way of doing black levels more black. And, of course, there is no setting in settings menu tu turn this nonsense off, nice one Sony!

This similar annoying ass feature is there in my Spectre laptop. This was supposed to be a battery saving feature and I haven't yet found a way to turn it off. Maybe it's also a way to get higher black levels.

This is the Bravia Engine. Just unselect Settings -> Display -> Mobile Bravia Engine

Dude, this is definitely not a battery saving mode. There is no need for batery saving mode when displaying dark screen, and the problem occurs when displaying dark images or any other dark media, app or non-app. every single time.

OMG... Mobile bravia engine has apsolutely nothing to do with with that, because bravia engine works only in phones stock apps for viewing videos and pictures, and the effect is not even similiar to screen dimming. It brings more saturated colors and that is all.

Same problem is posted here: http://communities.sonyericsson.com/thread/61560?start=0&tstart=0 and Sony replied "I'm sorry that it has taken so long but I have done some testing now using a later software and I'm not able to replicate the issue that you guys report so I assume it's fixed." It is more than obvious that they like to close their eyes on every single problem that occurs. Thank you Sony for your gorgeous support to your beloved customers. I cant be more sarcastic, of course.

It's not my way, it's the way it is. If one understands what mobile bravia engine is, one could never offered it as a solution to a problem that has nothing to do with it. I'm terribly sorry if I ofended you, and I apologize for my attitude. I'm not mad at you, or anybody else here, I just don't see why would one write something just to be written. I know my T-Rex wery well, and I know there is no "normal" way to turn this dimming crap off, so I posted my question here, and expected that someone of the experts would offer some kind of solution to that. And I got things like "turn automatic brightness off", or "turn mobile bravia engine off" even though I previously mentioned that i tried all that stuff. People are "trying" to "help" me here, and they didn't even read what I've written. I'm really not one of guys that would post a question here just to be posted, I searched the crap out of the internet, and I found apsolutely nothing helpfull. That's why I decided to open this thread, to hear what experts have to say.

Thank you guys very much! Changed values, and rebooting my phone...everything is fine now, no more stupid dimming. However...I noticed that color adjusment is still visible when changing from dark screen to colorfull bright one. So the dimming is now definitely gone, but that color adjusment is still visible, like it changes contrast a bit, from worse to better, it is clearly visible. Any ideas about that?

I'm uploading a video I recorded with my webcam to get you a closer look. I'll post a link once it's uploaded.

Video will be live here in a couple of minutes: http://youtu.be/fHozO8zGZ1Y
After I managed to turn off DLS, that auto-contrast thing still remains. If you look closely, you'll se that the blue facebook stripe (and everything else) slightly changes its color/contrast when returning from the gray screen. But DLS was much bigger pain in the ass and I'm very pleased with the result od turning it off.

Light Bleed ?

From what has been doing the rounds, it seems as if the issue is real, but so far nobody has proved that it exists, with side by side comparisons showing different wallpapers or by playing videos.
Passing up on this phone would be quite unfortunate as there really is no true alternative to the Nokia 6.1 Plus, with bootloader unlocked, of course.
It'd be great if anyone could show how exactly the bottom area looks, on loading up different kinds of contents :fingers-crossed:

There is not light bleed. The light bleed that seems like is the navbar gradient on android oreo. I am a moto one power user and I assure you. There is no light bleed even at max brightness!

Some youtubers
Some youtubers done lcd test and we can see screen bleeding issue. On a plain black or grey background screen bleeding issue can be seen.

please, Prove it.

I tried, and i am confused

I got my phone 2 days back and the first thing i noticed was brightness on the bottom part of the phone (bottom part of navbar) was more than rest of the area.
I tried with 3 apps "Quora" "Whatsapp" and "Curiosity".
When i launched Quora, Navbar gradient was observed and it looks like backlight bleeding.
But when i launch Whatsapp or Curiosity, the navbar gradient disappears even at max brightness.
So i think this is not backlight bleeding, but i can't verify this with other apps, or even while watching videos on full screen.
this is definitely confusing. we need more data.

Bleeding
Backlight bleeding only visible on some background Colors. Is there anyone on Xda that can prove it that it is or it is not bleeding

What is there to "prove" ?
Take it from users who use the device daily. And coming to the YouTube reviews, aren't the review devices pre production? How good is the hardware there? The navbar gradient is implemented in a weird way by motorola which makes it feel like the light bleed in most of the apps. But I can assure you that its not there. I have tested extensively and you need to physically see it to understand the difference. You cannot visualise it over photos on the internet.

I mean if you people can remove that gradient and show us

No, what i meant was..... Moto does not give any UI option to user to disable Navbar gradient.
It's either system controlled or app controlled, i am not sure.
And like i said earlier, its not visible in all apps. so does not look like backlight bleeding.

Screen Bleeding Issue Solved.
For those who are wondering about the Screen Bleeding issue with the #MotorolaOnePower Let me clear out this for you, Yes, screen bleeding issue is present and it is ARTIFICIAL. (I don't know why but it is) And can easily be fixed via software updates.
How to disable it?
Install "Navbar Apps" from play store and make the navigation bar colour to solid white/black to overcome those ARTIFICIAL SCREEN BLEEDING issue or wait for the #Android9Pie Which probably will fix this issue.
Hope it helps.

The gradient is an overlay applied on the screen. It is similiar to the Night Light feature, when you capture screenshots with Night Light on, you don't see it in the screenshot.
Hope that helped clear confusions!

why is nobody talking about mi 9 lite's frontal led and some other stuff

i can't seem to find a topic like this and it ****ing bothers me, why tf is nobody talking about the frontal led or whatever that is, so if you open the camera app and change let's say from back camera to frontal camera, there's a strip of light beneath the frontal camera that flashes, i've taken a closer look and it doesn't seem as a display thing, it actually looks like a proper led strip, why the **** can't we use that as our notification led? so far i've only seen it being used when you change camera modes, which is pointless, why not give an option to use it as notification led? and the second question, why the **** don't we have an option to change the back led's notification color? unlike some dude who said in another post that the led itself can't display different colors, i have no ****ing idea what phone is he using cuz mine has a lot of colors, like charging is yellow, calls are blue, messenger notifications are green, if you put on that flicker allong the song thingy there's the whole ****ing rainbow, so i know for a fact it CAN display different colors, now what i didn't get is why not having an option to choose what colors to display, like for example, change the calls to green and mess to blue? maybe someone can answer this questions to me cuz atm it seems pretty ****ing dumb to have the possibility yet not have an option to either use the frontal led which ****ing DOES exist but is used only in the camera app from what i can tell or change the back led's color which it CAN ****ing display yet there's no option for it, and thanks, sorry for being a lil butthurt but damn dudes this drives me crazy

That's not LED, it's just onscreen animation. Dunno about your other questions.

The reason could be a lot of phones don't use a led anymore is disappearing like 3.5 jack.
Since my last phones where Motorola I don't have any led about 5 years ago, you can put on always on display the real icons of the app at least for me is better because you can really see what app is showing a notification and choose if you wanna check it or not.

Useless and agressive post. Build your own fu***g phone with all your f***g suggestions.

Could it be the proximity sensor? lol

I'm crazy about that switching-cameras led animation too dunno exactly why nobody is talking since it's goddamn beautiful. It seems that the animation is attached specifically to the front camera, because if you let the stock camera in front camera when leaving the app, when you return to the camera app, it triggers the animation as well (it works when in lockscreen too), if you use face unlock and do what I said before, the animation triggers as well. Perhaps we can see the option for that to become a notification LED as the developing scene for the device becomes better, but maybe u could express your idea in a much more polite and less agressive way lol
