Hi,
I use the automatic brightness but at nighttime when searching the xda and other sites the screen on as dim as possible is still too bright,
im hoping for some help on how to reduce the brightness all the way down just like when you dont touch the screen for a while.
perhaps an idea for a small app?
thank you for you time and help
i tend to use the facility in wktask to do that
but you could just disable the autobacklight in settings
Lite toggle gives four different brighteneses.
It dims good.

what if I haven't backlight settings in control panel? I'm on 10.4
It wasn't a problem until 5mins ago, when noticed that my bro's diamond2 it's WAY brighter then my xperia. I'm jealous

Hi Guys,
would it be possible to create an app that makes the TP2 Screen just turn white only and the brightness level setting on the highest ?
Thank you in advance !!
FlashLIGHT. Search for it.
Thanks for the reply....can you provide the link....tried it and cant find it. thanks.

This doesn't strike me as a good choice. First, while it does turn the screen white, it doesn't affect the backlight brightness - a proper flashlight app would push the screen to full brightness as well as turning it white.
Second, it's designed for a VGA rather than WVGA display - so most of the options leave white borders either side of the main display.
Any alternative suggestions?
ive tried to look for one, but I cant find any good ones that work with the TP2...
anyone find one that just makes the screen white? If i wanted my screen to look like a lighter (and have the brightness of one) id just hold up my damn lighter, but thats not exactly the best idea when holding it over an airplane gas tank to find out how much gas is in there at night...
I want the Browswer to either,
1 - utilize the auto brightness function
2 - keep the brightness the same as what my setting is on
Is this that hard to do? why does the browser get it's own friggin brightness setting? At lease give us an option to take route 1 or route 2 on top of being able to change it.
Definitely something to think about in future roms.
And here is another example of why I despise auto brightness settings on screens. I like mine cranked all the way...except on my Sharp Aquos because that would lead to retinal bleeding at over 450nits
Just swipe from left to right along the notification bar to change the brightness to what you want.

i'd much prefer it automatically matching the brightness to the system setting. Hopefully, that will be fixed in the upcoming roms.
BTW, to increase screen brightness, turn Power Savings off in the Display settings. Doing this keeps the screen at 100% all the time --the browser and other apps will not dim the display anymore.

Very annoying. I have no idea why someone would do this. It makes no sense.

Same here, i don't need a very bright screen to browse
But having a auto for browser is basic setting in my mind though

But then you go outside and you can't see your screen because it's so low. This is specifically the reason it bugs me. I too love low brightness indoors but it sucks when you can't see the screen very well to turn it back up.
My only complaint is every page has to be white like a bright sheet of paper.
Back in the old days, computers had white text on black screens. Worked great at night or in dark rooms.

Your brightness doesnt adjust when u slide your finger across the notification bar? The black part? Left & Right? Do u have auto brightness on? Thats the only way i know how to disable it.

Ya well i noticed it i just turned on auto brightness i shall see if that holds up. If not i still need a solution to have auto brightness off. For now this will work.
I never knew that! I like that feature, now I don't need power control widget cluttering up my screen anymore

Two things regarding brightness I've found in 2.1 and wanting to know if I'm just missing something or what:
No more automatic brightness setting
The maximum brightness setting is about 2x as bright as the maximum setting on 1.6

There is auto brightness. it is done through a widget called power control which lets you control wifi gps etc..on the most right is ascreen brightness selector. 3 options. min auto and max brightness

Yes there is, through the widget with the wifi, gps and the other stuff.
Furthest to the right is a brightness icon that you can press to get auto brightness.

The middle setting is auto. In fact, Kindle even says 'To enable display brightness, turn off the automatic brightness adjustment in display settings.'
Mine does not ask a thing. Doesn't seem as auto option but a medium setting instead.

I have to say i miss that feature too. A lot. The middle setting is not auto. I downloaded Spareparts and enabled auto brightness but it does not seem to work. Not like 1.6 did anyway.

Jep, same her... ATM I toggle between 1%, 50% and 100% with extended controls...

Hmm...did you actually put it infront of sunlight and check if the brightness automatically changes?
Alright everyone I was wary about the absence of the auto-brightness as well but I just did a test and I can confirm that the middle setting in the brightness setting on the power control widget is for auto-brightness. You can test this too by shining a bright light at the sensor, the screen brightness should INCREASE. Obviously a few of you mistook it for MEDIUM brightness which is understandable as the auto-brightness is between the minimum and maximum brightness under most circumstances, does that make sense?
Testet it with the Widget.
Seems to work. But in my opinion it worked better in 1.6.
Ah, good! Auto brightness is a critical feature IMHO.

Really? I've set the brightness in 2.1 to 100% which is as bright as 1.6 on 50%.

I second that. Much better in 1.6. Here it does not even change. You barely notice it when going from inside to outside etc... I also tried on the Desire of a friend, and same thing. So 1.6 must have been better at that I guess.
Somebody can tell me how to disable the feature of automatic brightness, leaving it at the value I want, independently by the light? sorry if it has already been asked, but with the search function in the threads I can't answer it myself.
Hope somebody will help, because now my battery is drained too fast =(

I use the Brightness Profiles app. It seems to hold the settings after reboots.
i find myself using the tablet on lowest light settings all the time, without any trouble.
does anyone know of an app that would let me lower the backlight settings further than what honeycomb allows ?
battery use at 70% --;

I use an app called screen filter. It doesn't actually lower the blacklight but it does the trick.
Theres a couple other apps that do the same thing.
Fantastic! Tkvm ^^
This should appeease my quest for the st graal that is screen color inversion
