Backlight/Screen Brightness - Auto Dim and Auto Off

Has anyone seen an app that dims the backlight before it turns off all the way ?

When I had my 6700, I had discovered that the OS (and I am sure on the Mogul too) was only using some, not all of the power states. I will have to play around with it, but I used one state to leave the display on, without backlight before it went into sleep mode. I also setup the wav device to be on in sleep mode to improve the ring speed.
Will have to poke around to see if you can just dim the screen...
The state that I was playing with was called UserIdle and can be found in HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\CurrentControlSet\Control\Power\Timeouts
MSDN has good documentation on the power states...

This probably does not give you what you want, however this will dim the screen (although too dim in my opinion - I have not been able to change the brightness)
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\CurrentControlSet\Control\Power\State\UserIdle]
"bkl1:"=dword:00000003
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\CurrentControlSet\Control\Power\State\UserIdle\{EB91C7C9-8BF6-4a2d-9AB8-69724EED97D1}]
@=dword:00000000
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\CurrentControlSet\Control\Power\Timeouts]
"ACUserIdle"=dword:000000B4
"BattUserIdle"=dword:000000B4
Make sure that your display timeout/power timeouts in the control panel are set greater that the ACUserIdle/BattUserIdle otherwise they will occur before the backlight can be put in its dimmest state.

Backlight question

What is the darkest possible backlight option ? I often read at night. Also, is backlight easily changed ? On WM 6.1 you simply click on battery.

you still can click on the battery to change light settings:
start - settings - menu - more -system - battery. There you can change the settings.
I disabled automatic light setting and have it on 40% - suits me well.
BTW: Clicking on the notification bar doesn't do the battery/light job.

So changing backlight takes 6 clicks !?
Anyway I still wonder what is the minimum level in total darkness .. I worry if it is not too strong. I want it to be pleasant to watch in total darkness for longer time.

I use it as a GPS and driving with it at night with automatic blacklight is fine. With my Touch Cruise i always set the blacklight to minimum but with this one I don't seem to need it, even thought it only goes down to 20%

That would remove the need of going into settings ! Thanks for info.

you can set it manually to 10% (and probably even lower with registry tweaks/changes)

Backlight too bright at night

At night the backlight too bright when set to Automatic - it won't go below 30% even when it is totally dark. It seems like this threshold can't be changed. As a workaround, does anyone know if there is a way to make a shortcut to the Backlight settings screen that can be used in Quicklinks, so at least it can be quickly set manually.

try lumos. it works on the hd2

Low backlight

Hello!
Have some problems with my screen backlight.
ROM is Mahdi Mako 4.4.4 with root.
When in recovery mode everything is ok, backlight is at maximum but when i started android backlight goes wery low, like 5-10% , and it can not be controlled with brightness slider and with autobrightness, but it seems that brightness sensor is working.
All sensors were checked via sensor box and the same other utilities.
Problem is not in the ROM, the same situation was on stock ROM and i checked it on many other ROM's.

It might be set by the power profile which is currently active, lots of changes will be revert to set value in the power profile.
Let me know if it helps.

Try to update the MIUI
You can try to download and update MIUI and check if the issue still persists.

did you tried installing brightness control app it might work

Still doest work...
i checked my power profile, i didnt set anything at all. And about using apps,i tried several apps but still it cannot adjust my brightness at all. When i use the apps, i can control the brightness, but when i exit the app without closing it (that is by home button), the brightness will auto adjust to the max brightness.
