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.

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...
Best wishes

I've started using Trickster Mod on my locked bootloader X. The main reason was to take advantage of the LED function to have it turn on while charging. However, there are a lot of other tools this app provides. I was curious if changing these settings on a stock kernel would help with battery performance. I've read some tutorials and seen screen shots of what one user applied using this app on a custom X kernel. Does anyone use this app on a stock kernel and if so could they recommended any setups they have found useful for battery life? Would really be thankful.
Oasisfeng the dev of greenify updated the app Introducing new feature specific to Android M.
Two in particular are -
Shallow Hibernation : Link
Aggressive Doze : Link
(Links are for info)
My question is that is that are these features fully compatible to this device.
As I'm using doze settings editor also. I'm afraid there'll be conflicts with these settings
Shallow Hibernation is kinda good cause I've been using it for a couple of hours and its better since no apps needs to be killed for hibernation so app startup time is quicker.
Doze Settings editor configs as from this thread : Extreme battery life by v7
Sure
Hello and thank you for using Q/A,
if your ROM supports Doze, you can enable aggressive Doze in Greenify. No conflicts.

Does any one have any idea how to disable doze for apps in which battery optimization is not available? I am trying to disable doze for Download Manager because whenever the screen turns off the file stop downloading. Any app or any method to disable doze on battery optimization not available apps?

That is not an app thing. That is something google added to save battery. I found it when I was looking to disable doze completely in the rom I run. So you will have to compile your own rom with the needed changes.
Hello friends:
I'm looking for tweak the stock kernel to get better battery life without sacrifice performance. Anybody know settings for the governors?
Thanks a lot!
