[Q]Android Auto-Brightness Mod

The Auto-Brightness is a great feature but in the dark or with low light, it just seems to be a little too bright. Its not too bright for my eyes, its more in regards to saving power.
Is there anyway to modify the settings for Auto-Brightness to help save more battery?
I also was wondering if it would be just better to manually change the brightness, since the Auto sensor is using power to operate?

I don't think you can modify the Auto Brightness settings. You'll have to adjust the value manually.
I've realized that Auto Brightness doesn't work on my Desire Z so I've installed Brightness Profiles as a shortcut that lets me modify easily the brightness without having to go through Settings/Display etc.

How to decrease brightness in always on display

Is there any way to decrease the brightness of always on display?
Just cant see it in a settings.
Any thoughts?

I haven't noticed a setting but I have noticed that the brightness does seem to change based on lighting conditions so I feel like it's got a default auto brightness setting. It does seem somewhat slow to adjust sometimes though.

The screen should refresh every minute, so i think the interval for auto brightness is the same

[Sony Xperia J] Issue with screen's backlight

Hi, I installed unofficial CyanogenMod 10 on my xperia j. Everything works fine excluding screen's backlight. When I lock and relock phone screen is darker then before. Then i must adjust screen brightness again but after next lock and relock I have same problem. I think it's problem with light sensor or something. I just tried disable light sensor by hw_config.sh in system/etc but there's no this file. Then i tried to disable auto screen brightness in setting but it's disabled and I can't click checkbox. Anyone have idea how to fix it?

I readed in internet and this phone not have light sensor... So why phone changes brightness automatically?

There is next problem or maybe this is main problem. When i change brightness using slidebar in settings screen changing brightness randomly. For example when slidebar is on minimum value then brightness is maximum or slidebar is on middle screen is minimal. Just random values. I tried other apps to change brightness but same problem.

Auto brightness settings

So i would like to use screen Auto brightness but it sets the screen too dark or some times keeps hunting for a level ...
Any place to adjust the sensitivity of the auto brightness itself?
Right now i just turn the auto brightness off and set the screen brightness level manually

Agreed, I do the same as you. I always found that these auto-brightness functions don't work worth a squat. I don't know who is in charge of designing the sensitivity settings for it but they really don't work that well. So I always leave it on manual brightness setting and set it to my liking.
