[Q] Light Sensor disabled when display brightness too low?

So I just got Tasker and I've been playing around with the light sensor and I've noticed something strange. If I set the display brightness is below 12% (12% is the lowest brightness setting in display settings), the light sensor stops working. Has anyone else noticed this?
It would be nice to be able to set the display brightness to 0% to save battery and still be able to use the light sensor. I'm running Perception 10.1 with glitterballs OC/UV kernel.
(I'm using Extended Controls to set and see the brightness %)

The lowest I could go is 8% using brightness level widget. If I am not wrong, 0% would be screen off. U could use "screen filter" app to further reduce brightness at night so it does not strain eyes. This lets u go as dark as u want, even upto literally where u cannot see anything on screen.

[Q] Battery Temperature Always 30C???

Hey everyone,
I seem to be having an issue with the battery temperature sensor. It will always say 30 Celsius even if I can feel the heat of the battery through the case. Is this a known issue with the tabs? Using sensor test, I can see that a temperature sensor works and is constantly updating, showing temps from 30C to 40C. I'm running stock rooted EC02 with KhasMek Voodoo Plus OC 1.4Ghz.
Thanks for your help.

There are 2 main reasons for a constant temperature:
1- A third-party battery is used which have its temperature sensor removed, you will usually see 0.1 variations, like 30.0 and 30.1 at all times. or more often 25.0 and 25.1 (not sure why though).
2- the ROM or kernel is broken with regards to providing temperature to battery apps. Battery apps get temperature from Android OS using well documented API, which have not changed since the very beginning of Android. See here for more information about the API: http://developer.android.com/reference/android/os/BatteryManager.html
Unfortunately it seems to affect a few ROMs now-a-days.
EDIT: Are you using a S3 with CM-based or OMNI (AOSP-based) ROMs?

sensors temperature?

i want ask about sensors temperature in moto x for what !! weather or battery?

Temperature sensor? Battery if anything. There's no weather data that I know of.

Minimum brightness

You don't want to give your significant other yet another reason to yell at you while you're reading XDA in bed. Rate this thread to express what you think of the LG Nexus 5X's display minimum dimness. A higher rating indicates that the display can get extremely dim, ideal for reading in very dark environments.
Then, drop a comment if you have anything to add!

Not great. LCD has trouble with very low brightness

I've never seen an IPS display brightness get as low as this. Phone arena measured it at 2 nits.
Not many people need their screen to get that low but for those who do, it's there.

Screen can get really dim on manual setting
For me, the lowest brightness setting was never needed, but if there are users that want to take advantage of this then it is there.

Anyone have issues with the adaptive brightness feature lowering the screen brightness way too low? In a room where the light source is in front of me (behind the phone since it's pointing at me) the phone screen will dim and make it impossible to read. Increasing the brightness doesn't help as it will get way too bright when something bright comes on behind me for a few seconds.

Omg I LOVE how low the brightness gets, its perfect for waking up at 3 am and checking the time. I'm one of those people who keeps the screen on the lowest brightness possible, never use auto brightness. I've never seen a screen have as huge of a range of brightness as this. You can go from "I can't see wtf is on the screen" to "AHHHHHH! MY EYES, THEY ARE BURNING!" in half a second.

Question Flashing maximum screen brightness

Hello again.
Does anyone else find that the maximum brightness of the screen tends to dim from a "normal" maximum heat to an overexposed one? It happens that I am using my mobile very frequently on the street and despite having the brightness at maximum, the screen is usually dark. But from time to time as the Operating System detects that there is a lot of sunlight and increases the brightness much more (that's precisely what I'm looking for, use that maximum brightness manually, not automatically). I can't find a way to adjust that brightness value, I thought "Dark Aware" would help me but nothing to do with it. Any way to turn up that brightness?
