General :: Automatically Change Screen Brightness
Oct 26, 2012Any app that will automatically change the screen brightness based on a defined battery level. Preferably with the option to define how much the screen is dimmed as well.

I have a htc sensation xl. My brightness control stopped working and I now I can't change the brightness anymore. It doesn't matter if I set to 30% or 100%, the brightness stays the same.I can only adjust the brightness from 0 to 25%. I already did and wipe and stiched a phone.
View 3 Replies View RelatedUntil now I had my screen set to auto brightness.First, +1 to those who said in other threads that the screen looks even better when you turn that off and put brightness all the way up.But my question here is why, on auto brightness, the screen sometimes increased or decreased brightness when I was using it. It happened all the time. The only thing I can rule out as the cause was time delay, because sometimes it happened as I was typing or just after, and sometimes it would happen after a delay. I think it must be connected to either orientation, or movement, or brightness sensor detecting the ambient light, or something.If I could figure out how to make it stop doing that I would go back to auto-brightness.
View 1 Replies View RelatedI'm trying to control to turn screen off/on. I'm using device HTC G1 (1.6). To turn off screen I write:
WindowManager.LayoutParams lp = getWindow().getAttributes();
lp.screenBrightness = 0f;
getWindow().setAttributes(lp);
But if I want to turn on screen:
lp.screenBrightness = 1f;
getWindow().setAttributes(lp);
Screen not turn on.
if lp.screenBrightness = 0.02f;
screen change bright, but not turn off.
Which right way to control by screen?
How come the auto screen brightness doesn't seem to change how bright the screen is? The sensor itself is working fine, as using the proxylight sensor app (free on the market) it does actually register changes in light.Sent from my HTC Desire using Tapatalk
View 12 Replies View Relatedmy phone is Samsung Galaxy Mini which is a ldpi device which now runs on an ICS rom. I am trying to change the color for the brightness sliders and volume sliders. Which .xml need to be edited to change the colour..
I decompiled framework-res.apk and changed hex color values under @id/ progress and @id/secondary progress in "progress_horizontal.xml", also changed colors of few pngs in drawable-mdpi in framework,now the progress seek bar has changed the color,but brightness slider color remains the same.
I then decompiled systemui.apk and changed the hex color values under @id/progress in "adi_seekbar.xml",but nothing got changed..
Which .xml is associated with the seek bar for brightness and volume slider? Or should i deal with smali files to change the color of brighntness slider and volume slider..
I set the phone to not set brightness automatically and I put the brightness to the minimum. Every time I bring down the notification bar, the brightness automatically raises nonetheless and it's starting to really p.m.o.

Have you noticed, when your battery starts to get really low, the phone ignores your max brightness setting, and reverts to a lower brightness?
View 9 Replies View RelatedI have a Versus tablet running 4,0 and have accidentally set the screen brightness to 0. I can't see the screen to reset the brightness back up again. The manual says to do a factory rest but needs you to see the screen to do this. Have tried resetting and Android recovery but no effect.
View 1 Replies View RelatedI'm currently building a custom ROM based on android 4.1.2 and I am having two questions:
1. In Settings -> Display -> Brightness there is no checkbox for automatic screen brightness. Can this feature be added (the check box to turn on/off the automatic brightness)?
2. When I activate the automatic screen brightness (using notification bar toggle) and the battery drains under 15% the brightness is setted to maximum and the Brightness page in settings can't be used, is there a way to fix this?
I haven't had any screen issues in the past, but today my tablet randomly decided to go totally black on me. I looked online and some posts mentioned to check if the screen was actually off, or just stuck at 0% brightness. So I got a flashlight and it turned out that I could see the screen in the light of the flashlight, very faintly. I tried to manually change the brightness setting, but that didn't do anything. I tried to go into 'power saver settings', but the 'screen brightness' power saver setting is stuck on and won't uncheck. Restarting doesn't fix it. Plugging it in to the computer or an outlet doesn't fix it.
I haven't downloaded any applications that override the screen brightness.
I'm using the Galaxy Note 10.1 (not the 2014 version).
I have bought a HDC Galaxy Note 3 N9006 1:1 Quad Core model.
The specs are:
MTK6582 Quad cores 1.3GHz Cortex A9+SGX544 GPU
Ram : 1GB
Rom : 4GB(Support TF Card up to32GB)
First of all, the biggest problem is the battery life.. The phone is on for about 1 up to 2 hours of semi-heavy usage. The screen brightness is set to the lowest one and still the battery life is really low. I dont know whether this is a software fault or the chinese battery is simply crap, so i dont know if there is any point in buying a genuine Samsung Galaxy Note 3 battery.
Secondly, i have an error on some of my apps saying that "Google services that some of your apps rely on, is not supported by your device.. ( screenshot included)" how to fix this problem on this HDC model?
Thirdly for some reason i keep on getting a message about roaming, ( i cant see the message fully, screenshot included) and i have to register my network again for it to disappear for a short period of time and then i have to repeat the same process again.
Lastly, i cannot update my youtube application and i get an error saying that i need to uninstall the previous version of the app. But the problem is that it wont let me delete the previous version.
Is there application that show a low brightness clock when screen turned off such Glance Screen feature on Nokia Lumias considering both Lumia and Droid Razr use the same AMOLED display.

I am trying to resolve following task: smooth change of brightness from 100% to 0%, but can't gain effect of smoothness. Want to emphasize that I am using following approach of brightness change. The recommended one.
WindowManager.LayoutParams lp = window.getAttributes();
lp.screenBrightness = floatPercent;
// 0 - 1 window.setAttributes(lp);
Well, it obviously works, but not smooth. I will describe logic. I have a thread that changes brightness:
while (isRunning()) { Thread.sleep(sleepTime);
spentTime+=sleepTime;
view.post(new Runnable() {
public void run() {
changeBrightness();
} } );
}
We have duration of brightness change, for example 10 seconds. I calculate next value of floatPercent (see code snippet above) the way, sleepTime should always be less than 50ms. So looks like it had to be smooth. But I always get not smooth transition. It relates specially the range of 0% - 5% of brightness. Smoothness is completely lost on this brightness range. What can you propose?
If you swipe your finger on the notification bar (with the panel still up), you can change your brightness, anywhere that bar is present! Useful when auto brightness isnt on and you need a quick brightness change. I'm not sure if this is a touchwiz feature or an android feature.

View 2 Replies View RelatedIs there a simple setting that will automatically disable my screen lock when I'm at home or at work? If not a setting, is there an app you recommend?
Long version: I'm fairly new to "devices". I got my first, a wifi-only Samsung tablet about 6 months ago and use it sporadically, mostly when traveling, but also it's become my semi-permanent music player at home. I got my first smart phone, a MotoX about 2 weeks ago. Love the MotoX and feel it's exceptionally well designed, easy to configure, and useful, but I have nothing to compare it to other than my wife's IPhone 5.
I have done a web search for this information. I have also searched and scanned around these forums, but didn't find anything I felt comfortable with in terms of how fussy or current the set up steps are or how current the app recommendations are. The two apps I've come across are, IIRC, called "Delayed Lock (trial or paid)" and "Unlock with WiFi".
My question is - today, mid-October 2013 - how do you recommend disabling screen lock while at certain locations. I imagine I'll be using it strictly at work or at home, both of which have wifi I connect to automatically. I might want to disable screen lock while driving, but so far have found my MotoX's Assist driving mode to work very well. I might get a Bluetooth device and at that point would probably want to disable the screen lock while that bluetooth device was connected.
So, what do you guys keep your screen brightness level at? I never use auto-brightness. I usually keep mine at 40-50%, day and night
View 10 Replies View RelatedAnybody have any idea why this is not working under 2.2? (nexus one)
WindowManager.LayoutParams lp = getWindow().getAttributes();

And yes, the auto-brightness is disabled under settings.
I use the following code to dim the screen in one of my apps...

View 1 Replies View RelatedI am very anal about the brightness setting. I keep the setting very low to save battery. While indoors this is almost never a problem but when I go outside I can't see the screen. This makes it very hard to change the brightness. How do other people solve this or am I the only one that has this problem? Does anyone know of a way to map a button (like home button) and change the operation of the long press?
