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

Hi
When i take photos with my phone in superior mode there is a small yellow discoloration occurring...is there a way to sort this problem, i don't understand to use the manual mode its complicating....if anyone knows a link to help me to understand the manual mode i will be grateful...
Manual mode is the mode of the camera where you can change all the settings. You can set the following:
- SCN > Scene
- (looks like an Equalizer) > Light condition
- The bold > Flashlight toggle
- Rotation > Changing front and back camera
- Three dots > Other settings
These Other settings are:
Resolution of the camera (Stock 5MP.. You can change this if you want)
Selftimer > Take picture after a small amount of time without pressing any button
Smile shutter > Will take picture when a smile or laugh is detected
Focus mode > How and when will the camera focus
HDR > High Dynamic Range
ISO > Light sensitivity (Stock is auto but this can changed)
Metering > (got no idea)
Image stabilizer > Name says it all
Preview > Name tells function
Above settings are applied on camera and thus on the pictures
Some other settings:
Quick Launch > Change the way the app launches
Geotagging > Adding location to picture info
Touch Capture > Will take picture when screen is touched
Use volume keys as > Change function of volume keys (zoom or none or take picture)
Shutter sound > On or off
Data Storage > Where will the pictures be stored
You need to play with the settings to see what is the best way to take pictures.

Hi,
On Amcha (since v1.20) there is already automatic call recording if you don't choose real S5 phone in Aroma :
- If you choose stock UI, you will have auto call recording in phone options.
- If you choose S5 Transformer UI WITHOUT "real S5 phone with incall pop-up", you will have auto call recording in phone options.
But if you choose S5 Transformer UI WITH "real S5 phone with incall pop-up", you will NOT have auto call recording in phone options.

I can't seem to get to the advanced screen to change exposure to manual since upgrading.
Any body else notice this?
Open camera > swipe right > click gear > advanced > manual exposure
