Is there any such utility?It seems to me, that default settings prefer too much backlight in indoor light or in night. It would be great to have some tool for creating personal profiles as auto backlight is nice outdoors...
Try this ..

Built in Contrast adjustment
I know there is a built in Contrast adjustment program in WM5. After doing some some registry tweak testing...basically me changing registry settings without any direction, I must have stumbled on something that activated a Contrast program icon.
When I ran it, there was a slider for screen contrast. I continued some more registry tweaks, but restored an old registry and lost the new Program Icon.
I don't know what registry setting it was that activated this, so if anyone knows how to activate it, please let us know!
Re: Built in Contrast adjustment
our screen driver (or maybe hardware) does not support contrast changing, so this is useless. Only backlight brightness can be changed.
I've discovered a registry key that seems to have _some_ control over not contrast, but gamma. You might be able to use it to get some results. Its located in HKLM/System/GDI/Gamma and it is a DWord called "Gamma Value"

There is no hardware contrast support on himalaya, blueangel and universal, only the
brightness control via PWM duty period.
I'm not sure if it works on other devices, but on a Wizard, you can go to HKLM\ControlPanel\Contrast and delete the redirect key (if there is one) and create a new dword value named Group with value 0 and it will put a Contrast icon in Settings that has an adjustable slider....
works...
registry tweak brings contrast setting to control panel but that does nothing (since contrasting is not supported)
I'm hoping someone can assist me - I'm looking for a task scheduler for the Ameo that allows me to configure the PDA settings. For example, of an evening, I setup the Ameo to charge on my bedside table, with the SPBClock running in fullscreen screensaver mode, so I can look across in the middle of the night and see what time it is. However, each night, I have to change the settings to drop the screen brightness down to minimum so that the glare doesn't fill the room too much. And each morning, I have to turn the brightness up again so that I'm able to use the device in the day.
I'd like to be able to schedule this automatically. Also, I'd like to be able to configure the volume control to set itself to a standard setting each evening (quiet, but not too quiet) then change the volume again in the morning.
Id also like to schedule programs to start up/close down at scheduled times, but I think most task schedulers do this anyway.
Recommendations please?
Phone alarm sounds like the most likely candidate..

I use PhoneAlarm and it will do this. Only issue is WiFi control is a little flakey, but I think that's a WM5 issue in general. PhoneAlarm also has other nice features. I'm a fan. It does have a nice skin that works well with TrueVGA.
Looks like it could do the job - I've installed it, so I'll see how I get on with it and do a review. Nice and cheap as well for purchasing the full version. Cheers All!
Hello,
i use the new Arto`s Sense 3.8. The light sensor does crazy
If bright is, the display is bright and when it gets dark, the display also dark. Can someone please help me? The problem I have already with other versions of Arto's Sense.

That's what auto dimming is supposed to do
can set it that it is always bright?
when I'm turn off automatic it's still just as before.
strange...
Yes you can set it by Parameters
2 methods :
in Manilla, the tab Parameters / Sound and Display / BackLight (at bottom). It open a new window BackLight, just uncheck the first checkbox (Adjust Backlight automatically) And below the values are normally set to Bright
with Windows Parameters (by Start / Parameters) or tab Parameters of Manilla then Menu at the bottom and Plus / System / BackLight. There is 3 tabs at the bottom, go to the third. Here you got 2 solutions, juste uncheck the second checkbox and set the slidder to max, or you can let the automatic backlight and set backlight higher than original with the button Advanced.
Try one of these methods.
Menus may not be called like I said, I havn't got a English Version, so I make a traduction as I think it should be.
Have Fun,
I think this is a problem specific to the HD2 - basically, when i leave the phone on the auto backlight setting, it is too bright and therefore draining the battery. of course, setting it manually is a pain and it needs changing as conditions change etc.
What i am wonder is if there is any way of changing the auto so that it is consistently less bright? I have had a dig through the regedit but not really sure what i am looking for or doing!
I was guessing that there was a value that would be assigned to the brightness above the ambient brightness (from the light sensor) - can anyone enlighten me further?
Many thanks (and also for all those other posts i have used to help me make my phone exactly as i like it... CHT, BsB, Scilor etc!)
try Lumos.
nice. almost does too much! but good bit of software thus far. now to do some benchmarking... if only the sun would shine!
Controlling Backlight Settings
I took a different approach to resolve my problem -- keeping auto backlight turned off, but easily changing the backlight settings when I needed to change them. I created a shortcut called Backlight.lnk (that's a lowercase "L", not an "I" I discovered). I used a text editor and put in this line:
12#Powerexe.exe 2 - backlight tab
I saved it with the name Backlight.lnk and copied it to my Start/Programs folder using File Explorer. I moved the shortcut to the top of the Start menu where I can get to it quickly. I just tap Start and the shortcut icon and I am at the Backlight screen where I can quickly change the backlight level or the timeout settings. This saves a few taps compared with going in through the Settings screen.
I had tried Lumos and another program I found on the MS Marketplace, but both caused other problems for me.
PS: I found the line above in a posting at
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=645916
It's an excellent tutorial on creating all kinds of shortcuts.
Try MVBKLight.
Very handy popup (plus a usefull torch).
I have both Auto and Manual controls. With links I immediately switch between sensor and the MVBKLight slider.
Try searching for autobacklight toggle. Basically, its an icon which when pressed on main screen enables disables autobacklight. So much better than lumos.
Hi Devs
I need some help to set my own auto brightness values. Attached is the framework can someone please help me find the code for auto brightness.
The frame work I am using can be found at the below link:

Regards,
lol so many views and no reply
no one know what should I do??? :s
I am also interested in this field.
I would start with a simple cronjob that reads brightness.
Do you know, where to read it?
background:
For the Motorola's there is some magic setting, boosting the backlight.
Would like to set it, if brightness is over a certain threshold and set back if it is below another level. Sounds easy ...
