Automatic brightness turn on - Xperia SP Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Have just got the Sp it is not rooted. I have read about the brightness not varying very much but wondered is there an app or can you use the power management function to set the brightness to go higher or lower at a set time.

Actually that has not worked for me neither. Tried several apps and messed with all the settings but none of the automatic functions have birghtened enought the screen in the sunlight or they have worked similar to the stock function.

Are you sure???? Yaab is working perfectly for me.

I have since uninstalled this after flashing the .257 that is posted And the brightness issue is no longer an issue.... don't know why.
Yes I had it set up how you posted.
What I really wanted was something like alarm clock but for brightness so I could set time to have full brightness while at work then half brightness when at home and near no light for when I am in bed.
This might not be possible or available but if anybody knows then please let me know.

[Q] Anyone understand this Gesture?

Anyone that understand how to use this text-field gesture? Have been tapping all over the phone, but nothing happens
I'm used to the trackball from HTC Hero and Desire, that is a missing feature in this phone, and was so exited when I found this gesture.
But my happiness didn't last for long. Haha.
(Yeah, I know the mentioned gesture is disabled in the picture.........)

Okei. This is a LG Keyboard feature. When uninstalled the Gingerbread keyboard, it suddenly works.

really? :-( So it means that we have to chose between voiceimput ability of android keyboard and gesture ability of LGs one? :-( Sad
I hope that I would be able to move cursor quickly with my fingertips...
What gesture do you mean? The first one?
Just tap on the sides of your phone, not screen.

When it comes to that its also working on Swiftkey; Maybe it was the Gingerbread Keyboard only that ****ed up this feature?

No way to fix it that I know of, other than uninstalling LCD density. I found it screwed up my lockscreen, too. This app doesn't actually increase resolution, so I find its usefulness very shallow.

I can't say that I have that same problem, and I have my density set to 200. But I did find that other people had this problem and recommended downloading the "spare parts" app and unchecking "compatibility mode". I did that before I even downloaded LCD density so I can't say if that will fix it or not, but I never had that problem so it might.
What app did you use to change it, the free one from market? I did mine manually so maybe that's why its not working. But that did fix my apps that were not filling the screen, thanks

Thanks.... It was what I was afraid of... I had to do that to get 4.2.1 working... :'( oh well... Now is when I wish I was routed and had a system backup, I guess there is no point now as I'll just back up this issue..

AW: Can't access Nexus 7 settings post OTA 4.2.2 Update
You could use carbon to back up your apps and settings. Just don't back up any system data. You don't need root for that.
Problem solved.... Google sent me a replacement... Not what I was expecting after 9 months with my prior device... Great service, but leaves me thinking they're aware of the issue hence their prompted and un-solicited suggestion of a replacement... Happy!!

Chromecast symbol on yourube

Is anybody having an issue where YouTube shows the chromecast symbol overlaid on the video your trying to watch? It always happens when I'm connected to Bluetooth or have been connected to Bluetooth. I have to force stop the app when it happens.

I posted the same question earlier without a picture (BTW nice pic) and yes it sucks. It happens when I go from portrait to landscape mode and then never goes away from there until you reboot. I sent YouTube a note stating my frustration with this. I understand that it only happens in bluetooth mode but i hope there is a fix for this soon. Very upset

It should just be an option in the overflow menu.
