Hi guys, I have a Xperia T and recently disabled DLS which drastically changes the brightness of the picture you are looking at depending on whether it's light or dark. If it's a light picture then the brightness would increase and if it was a dark picture the screen would go dark.
Thankfully DLS is easy to disable by editing the pre_hw_config.sh file in root>etc. However, there is still a feature that adjust the contrast automatically, which is kind of annoying when watching vids.
Is there anyway to disable this feature? I tried disabling the Bravia Engine but that has no effect and it's also not the adapt to lighting conditions in the brightness menu.
hello,i want to know if is possible to enable ambient display only when a notification arrives, not always when picking up phone or out of pocket,i think it drains battery, im on euphoria but there isnt settings for ambient display,anyone has advice? thank you
There are no setting like that. Your best bet is to disable Ambient Display and install a 3rd party like Active Display
I seach many threads but in my case it works but I have a probleme for having the REAL auto brightness with my Z3C.
I mean... If I disable the auto brightness in display settings an put the maximum brigtness it's very high, and when I check the auto brightness and put the brightness (notification bar) to maximum and switch between auto and not auto... YES there is a difference, the auto mode is less bright, so yes the auto brightness option works because i see a difference... I gess
BUT... at night when the room is COMPLETLY dark (yes because I sleep in the dark lol) the brightness is very bright for me, too bright. And I go to the notification bar and put it at less... but wait! This not my definition of "auto brightness" if I have to manage it. For me (maybe I'm weird, tell me) if auto brightness is enabled, when the light sensor see a COMPLETE DARK room the brightness should be at minimum, am I right???
And, with all my previous smartphones, the auto mode was with the brightness bar in notifications bar and if I check the auto mode, the brightness setting bar is desabled... and if I setup the brighness bar, the auto brightness check is disabled... etc
So why my Z3C haven't an real auto brightness? Why can I enable the option in settings but set the brightness bar too? Why in a complete dark the brightness is too high and not at minimum? Because in the morning in the dark if I set it at minimum, later I have to set it more bright because it's too low at the day ligh... BUT I'M IN AUTO MODE IN THE DISPLAY SETTINGS!!!
It's like I have the auto mode and the right to set the brightness too... not logic! If I check the auto mode it's because I don't want to setup brighness bet the device must do it for me like my others phones...
Is it normal?
Thank you for help...
Its normal, auto brightness on the Z3 has a very narrow range of auto adjustment. So exactly like you are saying its either too bright at night or too dark in bright light. Do yourself a favor and use the app LUX, I think there is a free version to try. My auto brightness now works as it should, bright enough to read in sunlight and dim at night so I'm not blinded. You can tweak the values for every type of.light you are in, works great.
Do you have Lollipop on your phone?
Do you know that in Lollipop there is no Auto-Brightness anymore, there's "Adaptive Brightness", and it scales less, which explains your experience (and you're not the only one)?

Click to expand...
Click to collapse
It's was called something with "adaptive" in Kitkat, too.
You can just set the slider to the minimum, then it won't be too bright in the dark and it'll get bright enough in sunlight...
As the title says, the screen adjusts the brightness just slightly, for example when going into multitasking or opening the notifications
Does anyone know what to do against that?
That's not a bug, it's the design of the UI.
When you pull down the notification panel, everything behind it does get darker, but the screen is not itself lowering the brightness. That's intentional; the notifications are in the foreground, everything else is in the background and darkened. The same is for the multitasking.
Any way to have the camera screen not burn my eyeballs out when I use it in the dark other than manually changing the screen brightness?
Also-
Aod notifications light up the screen as bright as just waking up to the lockscreen/home screen. Any way to keep it dim other than just blocking notifications?
