Screen brightness - AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727

I often catch up on xda and other forums from my phone in bed before going to sleep. My wife complains about the light from my phone. I set the brightness to the lowest it can go but I feel that it can go even lower and still be perfectly fine.
Is there any way to set it even lower via an app or maybe a custom ROM that I haven't tried?
Thanks

Nevermind, figured it out. Found an app.

Yeah, I had the exact same issue and found an app called lux auto brightness. It works beautifully.

I just tell my ol' lady to turn over and live lmfao then I get smacked.

lcd on dim while charging

I saw somewhere where you could set a setting that would keep your lcd on dim while charging the phone. Any ideas what it might be.
Thanks
Eddie

Can't you just lower the brightness? lol
Try Tasker, you can automate everything. Including this.
I been wanting to try that program.
I guess I give it a try today.

Have you dropped the scaling down. And shut off the higher oc values? Typically that kind of thing is result of pushing the phone too high.

I agree with eollie, only time I've seen what you described is when I tried overclocking to 2ghz!

i used tegrak OC back when it didn't have the run for a minute and see whether stable option. And I had set on boot, OC to 1.65 just to see what happened. It turned on and then blurry freeze. Had to clear cache, and dalvik. Surprisingly, it worked.

What is this screen...

And how do i keep it from coming up? It shows up randomly while plugged in and it goes to it everytime i hit the home button. Ive tried resetting all defaults on any launchers and any accuweather apps. The only way i can get rid of it is to either hit the back button all the way to the home screen or reset the phone

Ics has an option under settings. Display. Weather. To enable or disable this.

I think that is your dock screen. I had that problem with a powerskin battery. The phone thought it was in a dock. I replaced the powerskin and it went away.

Keyboard LED

I think it might just be my phone but everytime i use the physical keyboard in light the led on the keyboard doesnt turn on but when i use it in the dark they turn on. Has anyone notice this?
ERrr I think the light sensor controls that. Especially if you have it to set auto.
Sent from my XT897 using xda premium
Mine does that, think it is a power saving feature. Uses the sensor by the earpiece much the same way as the auto feature with screen brightness.

It is a feature of the phone. I work for the sprint store, and our rep tried to show us that like it was an actual selling point. If you put your thumb on the sensor between the speaker and the camera the light will come on.

Not to my knowledge, at least not on the stock rom. CM7 had settings you could adjust, I imagine when CM9 hits we will see the same.
:edit:
I stand corrected, thanks.

Wow never knew about that setting. It would be awsome if you were able to change the keyboard light to a different color

Brightness adjustment

Did they take away the ability too adjust the brightness by sliding your finger across the notification bar in the official 4.0.4 update?

I used custom roms so I didn't know. That sucks though I'll probably waste 100 hours this year going into settings to adjust the brightness

Many of the jb ROMs have the option to place a slider in the notification drawer. See screenshot next to the word "auto"
I'm running Orthus Five at the moment, but I'm pretty sure that the option is also in liquid, as well as other ROMs in this thread.

Ya I went totally stock bacause I didn't have enough time for all the flashing and updating of roms.
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I727 using xda premium
Get and App called "Display Brightness". It provides a transparent and auto-hiding brightness slider on the screen that works anytime the screen on on (lock screen, in apps, home screen, etc...)
it works well on the skyrocket... and yes, I'm still pissed that samsung took the notification bar brightness slider away.
