Hi, I'm new to the x2 pro coming from a op6t!!! Really like the phone, I'm having an issue were when I go from one app to another, the screen brightness varies from app to app!! Say I go into the Google app then I go into facebook app the brightness of the screen goes significancly dimmer upon entering the app!! The two apps I've noticed it happening in most is facebook app and chrome browser! When going from Google app to Google app the brightness stays the same! Any help on the issue would be much appreciated, the phone is set to adaptive refresh and resolution rate and high performance mode is not switched on, eye care or auto brightness are also not switched on, I've toggled the refresh rate settings and Res settings and it's still does the same! thanks again for any help

I currently use screen filter to take the brightness of the NS down to a comfortable viewing level but it has it's limitations. It has to be started manually and certain apps will not play nicely with it. Gmail foe Llewellyn example freezes totally while ever screen filter is working.
I'm looking for a solution to drop the brightness beyond the lowest level allowed by default on the NS and keep it that way.
Is there such an app available?
Recently I noticed that whenever I open the stock camera app the screen went very dark. I thought something wrong with the app so I installed another camera app and it had the same symptoms. Interestingly that the pictures came out all right. After some thinking I went to the display options, unchecked the automatic brightness and moved the slider from 0 all the way up to full brightness. That immediately solved the problem. So here is the FYI, it seems like the camera API disregards the automatic brightness option and always uses the manual setting.
P.S. I was considering resetting the phone because I couldn't figure out that nuisance at first. Luckily I didn't have to.

Fixed mine, as well.
There is also a screen brightness setting within the camera app.

I have upgraded my phone from stock 2.3.6 to the latest JellyBean][4.1.2]Unofficial CM10 - Updated 10/10 - Butter - MTD - OC Kernel by scott hart.
I am pleased with overall performance increase of my phone, however I'm facing great battery drain. From 100% charge to 4% it just last around 4 hours. Anyone who can help me understanding this??

Already done that few times, but that's not helping.
Let the ROM settle for a day or two. See what happens. My battery was fast the first day too.

Well it looks like you were on the screen for a while...plus had some media playing in the background...music or videos?
I'd like to see the more detailed one...like how many hours screen was on, or clicking the battery graph at the top and seeing what it displays there for awake and screen time length on that...
Cause if the screen was on for most of that time...then what do you expect? If the screen wasn't on that much...then something sounds a little strange...

Set any sync you have to off or the maximum interval.
Adjust the automatic screen brightness levels, I posted a thread, "custom backlight settings". Turning down the brightness levels will help tremendously.
For the best battery benefit, turn automatic brightness off and set the brightness level as low as you can tolerate.
Set screen timeout to 15seconds.
Turn off any vibrate notifications or keyboard vibrations. You'd be surprised how much battery vibrate uses.
Download Justin inverted gapps. They are mostly a dark black theme.
Also set your wallpaper to a black or dark background. Anything but white! Making the screen mostly show darker colors reduces battery consumption.
Turn off auto update in play store.
Turn off WiFi, GPS, and Bluetooth whenever possible.
Advanced users only... you can under clock to 800mhz. This may produce some lag, but will help save battery.
You can also under volt, there are plenty of threads on here describing a safe way to go about doing this.
Hope this helps. And good luck

After seeing that Mediaserver usage I already turned off all the syncs. I can see some improvement and right now I'm reducing screen dim level.
The only thing that is bothering me now is sometimes my processor usage is 100% for a good 10 minute or so (no foreground process running) which makes my phone really hot. This is only thing now I need help from you guys, thank u all for relying. mg2195 i'm attaching screen shots.
Hey everyone,
I would like to present you app that I created to automatically adjust screen brightness. Tested on LG K8, Android 6.0. App is using front camera to determine lighting in smartphone environment. I created it because I recently changed my phone and as it turned out this one does not have light sensor, and that was cumbersome for me (day or so after using phone I faced situation when I was outside, it was very sunny and brightness was set to like 10%. It was impossible to unlock phone because I couldn't see anything on screen even if I tried to cover phone screen from that light, so phone was totally unusable!). I didn't find this kind of app on Google Play so that's why we have this thread.
FEATURES:
- automatically adjusts screen brightness
- automatically turn on device boot
- 5 frequency options
HOW TO USE:
1. Download.
1.1. [6.0+] Give permissions.
2. Choose one of available options (I recommend using medium refresh rate).
MORE INFORMATIONS:
Of course app will be improved. I want to add notification with brightness adjust bar, and improve algorithm that is determining what brightness level will be set.
FREE DOWNLOAD:
App in attachement.

Thats good for device doesnt have light sensor
Great idea... However on my k8 its a bit confused... i tried it in the office during daylight, it was quite dark instead of bright and when i covered the front camera its become bright... maybe you could put some options there to manually adjust intesity levels related to the picture brightness?
Good idea

Great and usefull
Do you support this or are still developing it?
Been trying out then photo pro app. Noticed that when I'm in the app the screen goes really dark to the state where I had to adjust the phone's display brightness as I can't see what I'm capturing instead of bringing the brightness up automatically when capturing pictures. My old phone automatically brings the brightness up when the camera app was launched.
Anyone else having this issue as well?
