Hi!
I'm new in this Forum and want to thank all you for your helpful posts!
I searched a lot, but I didn't find any solution for this problem (which seems to irritate also other users):
After upgrading to Android 2.2.1, 'Auto Brightness' does not work anymore. The problem is, that the Display gets brighter in the sun, but it does not reduce brightness in shade - which is very battery intense and irritating while driving in tunnels.
What I did so far:
+ checked and unchecked the 'Auto Brightness' setting many times ;-)
+ used widgets like 'extended controls' in the hope their settings will overwrite the problematic system-settings
+ was searching for the app "Auto Brightness" (SIMMO Publications) - which might be able to overwrite system settings. But downloading this app is not available for me (maybe because of country restrictions)
+ I rooted the phone - also for other reasons. With root I hope I can also reduce the minimum brightness level of 'Auto Brightness', which would be helpful using it as an alarmclock next to the bed.
Does anybody have an idea?
Best wishes from Austria!
No ideas to the Auto-Brightness Problem? People from Android-Pit-Forum didn't find a solution. So I changed to the forum with the best reputation ....XDA.. ;-)
It seems, that the light-sensor works well... because the button-light goes on and off according to the surrounding light intensity ...
Any idea or hint?
that's not a bug, that's a feature!
anyway - CM7 has the option just like you ask for - auto adjusting brightness to lower setting. there are also hysteresis options so you can prevent the brigtness going up and down all the time.

Thanx MuF123 for your answer!
This feature sounds great ... but I feel not ready to install CM7. All in all I am happy with my system right now. I learnded in the last two Android-years, that big changes for solving small problems can cause even more problems and time-intense problem solving actions... especially for me as a beginner.
So, does anybody know about a root-app or a module (eg. out of CM7) just for solving this auto brightness bug/feature ;-) ?
It would be very helpfull for me and others ...
this feature is in
Settings > CM Extra > Display > Automatic backlight > "Allow light decrease"
I wanted to tell you just so you can ask someone else about this exact feature, maybe the "CM Extra" can be installed as stand-alone app? Dunno, try to ask in CM7 thread.

Yes! This could be a possibility ... I will try!

Hi!
Unfortunately I am not allowed to post into the developement-forum...
Senior User 'MuF123' informed me, that CM7 has this feature, which I miss a lot (Settings > CM Extra > Display > Automatic backlight > "Allow light decrease").
My questions:
Can the app "CM Extra" be installed as stand-alone app in my rooted Milestone with Froyo 2.2.1?
Or is there another solution for me?
Not possible. Its integrated to the framework.

You mentioned an app "Auto Brightness" (SIMMO Publications) before. try to download that app after faking your network using "marketenabler" from market.
just my 2 cents
You can try the widgetsoid app from market.
Great idea!
Thanx. First I have to reanimate my milestone ... I killed it with deinstalling all Launchers ... stupidity pure

I tested widgetsoid ... but it didn't work.
The app "Auto Brightness" (SIMMO Publications) is not in the market any more ...
... hmm any ideas, how to solve this problem? See my starting post below...

i found no answer yet...
is it possible to change the vibration intensity of the sgs?
in the regular menu you can set the hapic feedback, but that's already minimal. i want to reduce the vibration intensity more precise.
is there any app for rooted user to do this?
no one an idea?
Hi, I have almost eveything set the way I want but my last issue is the vibration intensity is too low. In gingerbread & foyo there was an intensity slider bar under Settings/Sound but no where to be found on ICS. I even installed an app to set custom vibration patterns to vibrate longer but I can't feel it in my pocket.
Does anyone know know how to increase the intensity for calls & notifications?
Thanks!
I didn't even realize that. I came from CM7 to ICS, and CM7's haptic feedback setting were amazing. Though in ICS. The Vibration seems powerful enough for me. My issue is not having the ringer, and notification volumes seperated.

under sound/volumes you need to deselect link volumes.
not found.
I'm using Team Hacksung's ROM. I can't find the option you mentioned anywhere. I'm guessing it's not implemented yet? I'll go ask over there. Thanks.
Yeah the vibration intensity is low on ICS. But I found out the only way to get normal vibration (like in Gingerbread) for Message Notification was to use a different Message app, like "GO SMS Pro" which gives me the normal vibration when I get incoming messages. So try using "GO SMS Pro" and see if it works for you.

App to control this
Do you know if there's an app or something to control this in ICS? The default haptic feedback is much to weak for my tastes.
Semaphore kernel allows vibration intensity control in v 1.0.0, and with that you can use NStools

I checked NSTools, and it doesn't mention being able to change vibration intensity.
Is it the kernel itself that allows this to be set? If so, is it a compiled option in the kernel, or what?
I'm not sure I understand how this tool works in conjunction with this kernel to allow setting this.

Pretty sure you need a kernel that supports it

Ok, thanks a lot. Going to see what they did, and see if it can be applied to the HTC Desire Z...

I can't set brightness to full,get something about not setting to full to prevent overheating. Anyone know where this is coming from?
Disable auto-brightness.
Thanx for your input but that doesn't fix it.

Hi guys.
I'm really annoyed about one thing with my Xperia Z1 - vibration intensity for vibration on touch. I personally think it's way too long. Feels like the lenght of the vibration is set to something like 120-150ms. Is there a way to change it somehow? I have root, so maybe it's one of the system files that contains that setting?
I've set vibration length for keyboar to 35ms and I think it's perfect for feedback. Would love to be able to set it for the same value for function "vibration on touch".
Anyone anything?
