app to display the temperature of room on phone?

hi
I am wondering if is there the bluetooth device and app to display the temperature of room on phone?

Most of the phones have temperature sensor which displays battery temperature and not room temperature. So bad luck.

he said BLUETOOTH DEVICE and app. so not talking internal....
that being said, there probably is, check google man.

yes I said BLUETOOTH DEVICE and app.
I have the BlueIR universal remote and BlueIR device.http://www.pdawin.com/en/android
It is very great and it is working very good.
I am wondering if is there same thing for temperate?

does anybody know?

what about this http://www.kickstarter.com/projects/108684420/node-a-modular-handheld-powerhouse-of-sensors
but I don't need.temperature light.
I am wondering if it does just temperature without light?

[Q] Brightness changes (even though auto-brightness is off)

Hi all
I am having a strange issue with my Nexus 5, so I was wondering if anyone else has experienced this:
Auto-brightness is off, brightness is set to maximum. Every now and then, as I am using the phone, the brightness would change. It would go slightly darker, and then sometimes after some time (minutes) slightly brighter again (back to maximum). When this happens, the actual brightness settings slider does not change, it's always saying 100%. I've tried to notice some pattern in the occurrences of this issue, but so far cannot identify any steps to reproduce it. It is easily spotted when the screen has a big area of a solid colour, e.g. on a web-page's white space. So most often I see it while scrolling a news website. Note that during these brightness changes, my environment's lightning does not change (auto-brightness is off anyway, so this should not matter).
I don't even know if this could be down to a software or hardware issue.
So, anyone had similar problems?
Thanks,
Nik

It's throttling (overheating)

How can you use the brightness at maximum on this phone? This phone has one of the brightest displays I've ever seen. At 30% or so it's brighter than most phones on full.

Well I think that's beside the point, but let's say it's a personal preference.
And also it is possible that one would like to have a 100% brightness in light/sunny conditions, so then this issue could become relevant for anyone.

Last time I used 100% brightness on a phone screen was on the first days of my gnex.
Displays are in indoor situation much too bright on 100%, brigther doesn't look better all the time. I am going with Auto-Brightness (to have it at 100% in outdoor situations) but it is still to bright in low light situations. I have to wait for a customrom to adjust this like I did with the gnex.
Can not understand how people can use it at 100% all the time.

Why do you feel it's necessary to argue whether 100% brightness is useful or not?
That's not the point of the original question.

I've been having the same issue; glad to know it isn't a defect, and that it's supposed to do that. Thanks for the information

Brightness throttling

Anyone notice the brightness throttling that happens when taxing the processors?
I find it will drop it down to 70% when using gmaps navigation and usb charging. Anyone know of a way to bypass it?
Thanks gang!

I mainly noticed it when the phone is warm, when trying to go beyond 70%, it says something like brightness is limited because if the phone temperature. Anyway the p amoled seems to have little amplitude in brightness, maximum is not so bright and most importantly for me, minimum is too bright especially with the light off. But black are really black, not grey.

Display brightness is reduced, after taking a photo

Hi there, on my U11 and U11+ the brightness of the screen is reduced almost immediately, after i take a photo.
This is very annoying, cause i can't see the pic a took seconds later and need to increase manually the brightness.
Did you notice same issue? Only HTC'S are doing this.

What are your brightness values for the phones? Camera app will boost brightness to the max, but once you take the photo it will return to your brightness settings

i have adaptive brightness at bout 50%. I think that the problem is that it's maximizing brightness the moment you are taking the photo and after that is getting very dim and the big difference is annoying.. Brightness isn't stable as on my pixel 2 xl.

Yep, better use 100% brightness Auto outdoors in the day, but yes there is definitely an automatic brightness problem with U11+, if 50% and less it can go very dim in a second with the same lighting conditions, usually in low light.
HTC software team is completely denying many things and repeated the same ''bugs'' in U12+

Question Increase max screen brightness?

Is there any way I can set screen brightness above its maximum capacity?
It is no news that this phone doesn't have such a bright screen as it features an LCD display. But sometimes this gets even more annoying specially when it comes to gaming. That said, I've been wondering if we could increase brightness level beyond what it is. Maybe a feature on a custom ROM or kernel if possible (?)
I've also read somewhere that Android doesn't let you set actual max brightness by yourself on manual mode so it'll go into its maximum capacity only on auto/adaptive brightness mode. If this is true, could we trick on that somehow?

No you cant increase it , if you probably do it will damage the screen , LCD has 450nits on manual and somewhere 550 nits on Auto(MAX),i didnt see any room with the feature of increasing to 550 in manual ,only auto works .

Everyone says the brightness is not really sufficient, but on my X3 Pro 8/256 max brightness is really bright/strong. Just got the phone a week ago. Is it possible they changed display panel in the manufacturing process?

Maybe, or it could be just a matter of perception. I've also wondered if it's possible to replace the original display for a brighter one but I think that would implicate other physical parameters such as voltage and current.

Actually I've found a way to do it. Derpfest ROM has a feature named "high brightness mode" or "HBM". It does increase brightness above the max level. It makes a slight difference but yet perceptible. I think it needs kernel support to work also.

You can do it on any rom which doesn't support hbm by default using root and changing the kernel but it will properly have some bugs.

su -c "echo 4095 > /sys/class/backlight/panel0-backlight/brightness"
Simple!
