I8190N auto brightness? - Galaxy S III Mini Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I'm a little disappointed. I bought touday I8190N and I can't set auto brightness. The sensor exists but doesnt't work. Is it used only for useless option for following my eyes function? Is possible to use it as ambient light sensor as usual?

Use Lux it will use the front camera, no auto brightness apparently.

Google Play says it isn't compatible with my I8190...

On Google Play it claims that app is incompatible with I8190N

Ignore that, it says that because our phone's don't have ambiant light sensor. I've installed it and works for me it uses the front camera too sense light.

How can I ignore it, as Google Play should be spoofed for downloading it, or even paying for full version? I don't have root yet on my I8190N,
and GP is preventing me from download this app. Maybe author shoud enable downloading for NFC version of S3 mini?

What values did you set for lux settings ?
Sent from my GT-I8190 using xda premium

I haven't changed any settings, but if you go to modify samples, then Luma there are 2 yellow bars with 1 & 255. You tap the bars to edit them if you like.

i8190 doesn't have light sensor, and the standby function uses front camera (and it works really bad imho). So there's no way to do it

Using lux for auto brightness and no problems like on sensor. Just little edited values in LUMA

Photos under fluorescent tube lights

Hey all!
I was wondering if anyone else has this issue. The problem only happens when I take photos in a room that has fluorescent tube lights. I have attached a photo with the issue.
The photo basically has horizontal lines which don't look very attractive

Swift reply! Thanks
I'll try the scene settings next time and see what happens :good:
Set the white balancing setting in the camera to fluorescent instead of auto.

It appears that the frequency in which the fluro flickers is the same as which you phone is sensitive to. Does it show this on the screen while you are composing the shot? If possible to get around it, the most likely options would be to speed up or slow down the shutter speed, you will get this by manually changing the camera modes.
It all depends how the florescent light is being powered. If you use a digital ballast, you won't get the lines.

Air swipe problem

Hi guys!
I tried 3 apps that can use your phone's gallery, browser, lockscreen and call accept like in s4 but none of these work.
Is there a problem my proximity sensor?
Or its another weak point at 4x?
What you get with these apps (air call accept and air swiper)? Are they work for you?

I tried both apps and both of them are not working for me unfortunately. Proximity sensor is working because when i answer a call and put the phone next to my ear the screen go black. So that means that proximity is only activated when you are talking wizh someone.

And are there any way to turn on proximity sensor?
Sent from my LG-P880 using xda premium
There isn't a problem with turning on, it's the lack of the sensor, it only supports two distance modes - sensor is covered ,sensor is free so you have to put your hand nearly touching the screen, so wave Is a big problem, it's not being detected most of the times, only by really slowly moving the finger across, I tried other apps with the prox control, and that's the result.

SGH-T599 ambient light sensor

I've read a little about the s3 mini not having an ambient light sensor. Is that the case with the T599 also? Would be nice to have auto brightness but not sure of it is a hardware limitation.

[Q] A brighter note

there was an app called a brighter note for my note 2 to make my screen a little bit birghter than the stock adjustment. is there such a apk for the note 3 or any plans of one? Please dont start flaming over making the phone brighter. i like the screen to be a bit brighter thats just me.
no one on this? someone has to know how the old brighter note app worked and transfer it to this one
It's 2 completely different software builds. It won't work.

I use Lux Dash since I think it does a better job at controlling auto brightness, but it's a paid app. You have the ability to manually adjust how much higher than 'normal' it is, e.g. always be 5% or 10% brighter than 'normal throughout the entire ambient light range.
Don't know about brighter note app but lux has been working great for me on s3, note2 and now note3.

You people keep saying brighter this and brighter that with lux, which is not the case. Lux does not give you the option to set the brightness any higher than 100%.

If that was what he was asking, then you're right. He phrased it as wanting a bit more brightness than the normal adjustment, which sounded like auto brightness. Lux will let you ramp up throughout the ambient light range faster than stock.
OP - why not contact the original developer of that app and ask whether he can add a Note 3 version? The Note 3 screen is quite a bit brighter and easier to read outdoors IMO than the Note 2 , but I do understand a desire to have a brighter screen.

[Q] i8190n minimum brightness is too bright

Although set minimum brightness , at night is still too bright that my eyes is uncomfortable.
i tried some apps such as screen filter but screen effect is not clean.

I tried to set "ro.lcd_min_brightness" to a lower value in build.prop but I didn't notice any difference. You could try it, maybe I was wrong.

Heh, I thought it was only me to think the min brightness is too high.
