Hello,
It is pretty annoying to adjust the Brightness of the Touch Cruise.
Is there a Program that adjust the Brightness automatically?
Or maybe by a Day / Night Schedule.
Or at least toggling the brightness by pushing a button (camera for example).
Maybe you deleted the icon from your launcher tab, but there is a shortcut you can add back that'll cycle through 4 different brighness levels. I don't see this as an option for actual assignment to a hardware button though...
There are applications out there that allow you to map brightness control to a button. MVBacklight or something like that. Try searching in the forums you'll find it.
Maybe combine it with those apps from tytnguy which are
able to start/toggle command line apps by cell location and/or
scheduled. But I think its a bit tricky...

Is there a way to change the pre-settings of the auto-dim or auto-adjust function for the screen illumination? F.e. When running TomTom at night the illumination is still to bright and to change that I have to go through the settings to disable the auto-dim of auto-adjust function and set the illumination to minimum (10%).
Thanks in advance.
use Lumos - works fine also on HD2
I have Omnia i900. In short ... I want the brightness always at max, I don't care about battery... even when it's locked because the visibility at sunlight is poor and I can't even see where to press to unlock!
I installed Advanced configuration tool and set the screen to always bright, but that didn't help. When I lock the phone its getting dimmed. Another weird thing is that the setting in Advanced Configuration Tool is getting back to dimmed after I unlock it. I guess the WM6.5 lock utility is changing some registry key.
anyone? .
Is Auto Brightness turned on? If so, it will override manual controls.
No... is have set the brightness manual to max. But whatever I set, manual or auto... the screen gets dimmed when you lock the phone. I need (maybe a registry) or something that would turn the screen brightness to max while locked.
It's always too dark. Any way to mod this? I don't really want to manually adjust, as that is tiresome.
Seemed to work better on my old p1000.

I did a kies update. Seems to be worse now. Too bright in the dark and too dark in the light. Also slow to react to light change. How difficult can it be for samsung to setup auto brightness. I actually think my old p1000 is a better tab in many ways apart from the 3d speeds..

I wonder if this is because of a low quality light sensor. My Motorola Atrix does a pretty good job of regulating brightness automatically, except even that one is still too bright in the darkness.
For now I just make manual adjustments to the brightness on the tab, but thankfully the adjustment slider is right there on the notifications pop up so it only takes a second or two to make an adjustment.
Yes I could do manual adjustments but when I go outside and it's very bright I can't see the screen and this is where auto brightness needs to work well, which it doesn't and it is far too slow to change when I really want to take a quick pic, it just fails as I can't see the camera app for about 5 seconds.

You may want to uncheck the auto adjust screen power box that is in Settings > Screen. I notice that tends to darken the screen as well, even with auto brightness disabled. Screen mode (dynamic, standard, movie) also affects the color temperature of the display which may give a darker tone. Try the different modes and see if that helps. I notice movie mode gives a warmer look to the screen where standard seems cooler.
well , are you using screen protector ? maybe its the cause ? anyways i don't really like to set it at auto as the HC brightness is SUCK in many ways ... i like to adjust it as i want .. so live with it until samsung do something .

Unchecking that box made a huge difference. Thanks.

Yes this does seem to improve the brightness a little bit.

New Auto Brightness App called Lux
There is a new app in the Android Market called "Lux Auto Brightness" (I am new here so cannot post links but just search the market for Lux) that is by far the best Auto Brightness App I have seen yet. It is hands down better than anything that comes with stock Android. I have installed it on my Tab 7.0 Plus and it pretty much solves all of the issues/complaints I had with the built-in Auto Brightness. I really love how you can change the preset backlight level (for any light condition) to one that works better for you and once changed, the app will use that backlight level instead of its preset. This is a paid App but only cost $1.02 and lets face it, $1.02 is a very small price to pay for Auto Screen Brightness that works (no, I am not the author of the app). If you are going to install it on your Tab Plus 7.0 just ensure that you turn off the built-in auto brightness as well as unchecking the "Auto adjust screen power" setting under the Android settings/screen menu. Below is the description of the App from the Android Market...
Lux isn't your ordinary brightness app. It intelligently adjusts the brightness of your display based on the environment you're in. If, for example, you step into a dimly lit room, Lux will automatically lower the brightness of your display to make it not only comfortable to read, but to also preserve battery power.
Lux provides the option to automatically adjust the backlight at fixed intervals (periodic mode), when a change in environment is detected (dynamic mode), or when the phone wakes from sleep. It's also possible to adjust the backlight manually. Simply disable automatic mode and you can use it like a traditional brightness tool!
Perhaps the best thing about Lux is that you can teach it how to behave. If the backlight is too bright or dim for your liking, simply open the provided Dashboard, adjust the brightness slider to the level you desire, then hold the link button. Lux will use this new 'link' as a reference in future.
★FEATURES★
→ Custom auto brightness.
→ Sub-zero brightness to make reading in the dark significantly less irritating.
→ Battery efficient
→ Handy brightness widget
→ Option to use the camera to read in ambient light.
→ Power-user settings such as choice of interpolation, sensor debugging, and linked sample editing.
→ Backup to SD.
→ Customisable data filtering for phones with inaccurate light sensors.
→ Gradual fade effect for backlight adjustments.
→ Astronomer mode adds a red filter to the screen to preserve the eyesight of stargazers.
→ Jitter control to prevent constant small changes to the backlight.
→ Night mode, to change the colour temperature of the display for comfortable night time viewing.
→ Add app specific exceptions via compatibility mode
→ No ads, or other nuisances.
Note: Please disable other brightness apps before using Lux. This is still BETA software. The author is not responsible for any issues caused by using this app.
Useful app thanks.

There is this app, which I do not own or have any affiliations with, that acts sort of like a filter that lowers the screen brightness instead of actually lowering it. I haven't really tested it fully, but it works perfectly on my s7 Edge.
And the best part is: there is no root required
All you have to do is to install the app, go to Settings - Accessibilty - Installed services - screen dimmer, and turn it on.
Just make sure that your actual brightness is at 100%, and you can change the brightness within the app, or with the shortcut in the notification bar.
Here is a link to the app:
