For some reason it is like my phone is stuck with auto brightness on even tho it is off. I had 3 HTC Ones next to each other. My phone was more dim out of all of them.
Any way to edit build.prop or something to fix this?
I also looked for an answer didn't see anything.
I'm on the newest viperRom, stock kernel.
Thanks!

?+1 to this. Power saver has a dim screen option, so while autobrightness may be turned off, it will be dimmer.

About two weeks ago I turned on my Auto Brightness. Last week the screen just started going dim randomly. To be clear, its so dim I can't see anything unless its at a particular angle. Also (depending on how bright the screen was prior to going dim) if I apply pressure to the sides of my phone, just above the Menu and the red End button, the screen will become bright again. Since then I have turned off Auto Rightness and performed a hard reset yet the problem still occurs. Can someone please help me?
It hasn't been dropped, or been subjected to moisture of any kind. I've only had it for about two months. It was a replacement from Asurion Insurance. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Auto brightness on our phones hasn't really been all that great, I've had random dimming or it'll go super bright in a dark room. mostly the issue is that auto brightness on phones is not all that great, they don't monitor the brightness of your surrounding but rather your face and that's where the problem lies.
My Auto Brightness isn't enabled. Yet the screen still goes super dim.

Make sure it isn't on, because it shouldn't happen if you have it set to a custom level

you can dim the softkeys with this app :
well as it seems I cant post an android market link, you have to search for yourself :
try backlight disabler or net.beshkendze
there is a free version as well
I just have the paid version,and you can disable the backlight completely or dim them to about 50% of the usual brightness.
the only drawback is that this setting only stick until you turn off your tablet,after you turn in on again, you have to apply the setting again.
but i.e. with tasker,this can be automated.
if you open the (paid) app,and kill it(root),the backlights will be off,if you open the app and use the back button,the softkeys will stay at 50% brightness.
I use tasker on my p1000 to do this everytime I turn on my galaxy tab and it works great.
I know this is just a workaround,but at least one that works
Really? How many percent dimmer? Is it adjustable?

New here in the HTC one area so please forgive me if this topic was already covered. Being new to the HTC phone I wasn't liking the soft button lights turning off during the day light so this app basically keeps button backlight always on, as long as the screen is on.
Confirmed working with HTC one. KiNDA
Soft Buttons Light

UPDATE: The soft lights turn off on occasion and I have to toggle the power button to turn the light back on. Bug I guess but quick minor temp fix by hitting the button
UPDATE 7-/4/13: According to solid.snake (see quote below), Capacitive Buttons Brightness Works well

I have auto brightness off, auto adjust screen tone off and brightness set to max. My screen randomly dims and then gets bright again...anyone know what's causing this?

Hmm is it this adapt display option maybe?
sEnt from thE noTe 3
Same here then I went into my settings to check the brightness (settings, display, brightness) and it said brightness decreased to prevent over heating or something like that ..check it next time you notice it dimming and see if it's the same thing ..pretty annoying

power saver uses the dimming option for low consumption of battery and make sure auto adjust is off in display settings

I've had this happened to me also.
It seems to be more frequent when I'm using Chrome ( not stock browser ). It suddenly gets dim and then may or may not eventually brighten up again, it's pretty random
Also happens when I'm on the launcher but not as frequent
- Automatic Brightness / Off
- Screen Mode / Professional Photo
- Power saving mode / Off
- Auto adjust screen tone / Off
Is there something else I may be missing?
It happens to me while using the xda app. Annoying as hell. It has the same message as Melissa

Does anyone know if this processor does thermal throttling? That could possibly trigger a power save dim with overheating. If we get root this can be disabled using trickster mod.

The Otimus G Pro had a setting in the hidden menu to disable thermal throttling.

Thought this was an issue with my phone when I got it from AT&T yesterday. Glad to know it isn't just me. It seems to only have the issue when I am in a low-lite area (at least on mine) but when I am in an area with good lighting and the back light is 75% or more it doesn't dim nearly as much. Would be interested to see what a fix would be for this.

So I've been having this issue and noticed it like two days ago, and reading all your responses I looked through and noticed I had one of the features that I thought I turned off. Smart Stay says that it starts to turn the screen off when we look away maybe it's a buggy feature (one I never intended to use but it might be the one doing this dimming thing (being one of the first steps to turn off the screen)
The Droid 4 is the first phone I've ever had that doesn't light an LED to indicate that it is charging, or indicate that it is fully charged. Is there such a thing on this phone? If so, how do I turn it on? I don't want to have to wake the phone to check the battery level.

ive opened the apk and I don't see bools.xml anywhere
It looks like the free app Light Flow will do the trick, even on non-rooted phones. The app gives me the option to change the colors, even. Nice selection too. The one thing I can't seem to make it do is keep the LED on continuously, even when I use Light Flow's Always On setting. Must be some setting Motorola has locked down. But at least I can tell at a glance whether the phone is charging or not, even when it's sleeping. Plus, Light Flow lets me set the LED to a different color when the battery is fully charged. Awesome for a free app. :good:
