[DISCUSS] Screen brightness sensor a joke!!

Sending this straight back, I cannot believe there is no option to disable auto brightness settings on this heap of ++++.
It has got a mind of its own and is extremely annoying to suddenly see the screen get dim and bright every 5 seconds without any change in actual lighting condition...it makes the phone almost unusable.
Hope someone can make a hack for this soon.

Yes, totally a reason to send it back, software bug on a phone with a unlockable bootloader. Hope your next one doesn't have any real issues
Maybe this was the software bug vodafone was saying?

sure you can't find a solution? It must be somewhere in the settings (I'm no android expert though).
It's not a "software bug", it's SE dictating to us that in order for the paltry battery to last a day, we need to use it in the dark, or disco mode!

... unless the sensor it's self is dicked, then it can be fixed in software, even if it is dicked, it can be completely disabled.... just cool your jets.
well i report no such shinanigans happening on my phone! i can see the light sensor in action when i cover it with my thumb, it works really well and the gradient of fading and lighting up is the best i've seen on any phone so far! i dont notice it when using it normally.
you must have a faulty one....

They have to stop the complaints some how, at least the speakers are not gimped
Thought I'd mention that I have no such problem with my device.
I'm very happy with the screen. Especially good as I moved from a nexus one.

Can't you install brightness level from the market to controll the auto brightness ?
Wanna control your brightness levels quick and easy? I use a very slick widget called Dazzle. It has every option you can think of to control just about everything on your phone. Give it a try.

I don't seem to have auto-brightness, do have a slide in the settings to ste brightness though, on highest I can easely see in the sun and it hurts in the dark, on the lowest settings it's hard to read at night.
A Dutch review actually mentioned a lack of auto-brightness as one of the downsides to this device.

It does have Auto Brightness as if you put a finger over the light sensor the phone screens dim.
The phone had an update pending the day I purchased it so most of the reviews I have seen are out of date. This phone is excellent at playing games.

I hear that. In love with my Xperia Play.
Guys can someone tell me. A lot of reviews say that the screen is very dim even on max setting and a lot of reviews say the exact opposite. So what is it?
Mine is perfect in the sun. I'm starting to think there are 2 types of screens involved, anyway to check what screen you have without opening the device up?
Screen brightness is ok for me, but just remarked the display have some ghosting issues. Slide beetween programs screens and observe carrefully the icons.... with red "Adresse" one this is very visible. i can't belive sony use a high response time display on a gamer device.

[DISCUSS] xperia play. bought it. 2 hours later. was back to the store :/

so yeah. title says it all. its sad how small things can f**k up an awesome phone.
that doesnt mean i wont buy it forever though. but those things are really annoying.
first :
my screen. was yellow. it has a yellowish tint . the whites looked yellow. while my iphone is totally cool blue white.
and i am very OCD about this. god knows how many galaxy S and iphones i returned because of this issue.
and the store didnt have any stock back so there was no option but return it or keep it.
second :
i knew about this issue but god i didnt know its that annoying. no option to turn off the auto brightness. its very low for me . i have to keep a light close to it to keep it on high brightness. i dont care about battery i want to enjoy my gaming sessions with a screen i can SEE ffs.
Third :
i was playing the N64 emulator. mario 64 sometimes lagged at the beginning of the stage, but once you play, its ok. F zero was running below 60fps for sure because my brother has a nexus S and it was super smooth. killer instect not playable on both phones. Xtreme G not playable on both phones.
maybe too many things were open thats why it lagged a little in my gaming tests.
i love the hardware design. and i am sure the roms will fix the auto brightness issue. all i need is a phone with no dead pixels and with a screen that doesnt look like someone pissed on it.

sure just use the power widget whihc has the wifi/BT/GPS/SYNC/Brightness
press the brightness button up to 3 times each time you press it the screen gets brighter until it hits 100% and then goes dark again if you press it one more time.

As mentioned this doesn't turn off auto brightness.
All it does is make your brightness 100%. If you cover up the auto brightness sensor, your screen will dim.
I don't own this phone but I do own an HTC EVO and there is an option to turn off the auto brightness. To do this you go to Settings > Display > Brightness and un-check the "Automatic Brightness" box. After that just move the slider to the highest setting and you should be good to go.

I'm positive that a function exists to turn off auto brightness on the xperia play, but at present Sony have omitted any functionality of accessing this from the end user UI.
Meaning it is not possible to turn off auto brightness unless you start rooting and customising your own ROM.
Use "notification toggle" from the market you can disable auto brightness.. But tbh its pretty well implemented..
As for yellow, I have the same issue, but I look at a galaxy s and its really blue, look at my wifes n1 its got a red tint.. The warmth of the screen colors will be adjustable once the phone is rooted

did you try the program your self on your xperia play and it worked ? because if so. thats a fix for the problem everyone is complaining about and it deserve a new thread to be made by yours.
as for the yellow. i am not sure if it can be fixed or not. on nexus S they fixed it. the voodoo developers made it work. but i highly doubt he will work on xperia play as he didnt show an intrest aside from galaxy S and nexus S

For everyone still having problems with Auto Dim on the Xperia Play, there is an app in the Android market made just for the Xperia Play!
Search: Disable Auto Brightness by hatcyl in the android market!
This app will stop the screen from Dimming / Brightening once it is being used.
Alright guys ...
I had created an application to disable the auto brightness feature of the Xperia Play. The app has now been updated ... and it's great!
1. Thanks everyone for the support!
2. The app has been updated.
New features:
a. Toggle Auto Brightness from launcher.
b. Tasker support (Kinda)
c. THE SCREEN IS NOW SUPER BRIGHT!
Thanks Everyone!
Get the app: https://market.android.com/details?id=com.hatcyl.android.Disable_Auto_Brightness
ps. This app may also work for other Sony Ericsson devices!
I having similar issue.
Got a new Xperia Neo V and the screen has a yellow tint. Googled around & found that I am not alone. Brightness etc is fine but color is not.
Now since I am still digging in I wanted to know if its a known problem?
If so is there a fix?
Hardware or software?
Thanks
Good job for bumping a dead thread!
If you have a yellow tint to your phone, you have two options. One, you can search for an app of some sort that can adjust the system colors on your phone.
Second option, you can take your phone back and complain about it, if it's been recent enough that you purchased it, you should get an exchange.

[Q] Is there a costume rom that got both these funtions??

Hi
Im looking for a sotume rom that has these 2:
- lower brightness value then stock rom
- no sound/vibration when battery is full.
try posting in the q and a section, but as to your answer im sorry i cannot help.
J
It would literally take you 2 minutes to add to your setup. Check the development section
GALAXY NOTE
The app "screen tint" will make your screen dimmer then the lowest setting that the stock rom will allow.

It sure is quite a bit darker! Makes it a lot better for reading at night since the lowest setting is very bright when you are in a totally dark room.
Even if it's just a filter, when a pixel on the AMOLED if dark(black) it's OFF not displaying black. If the filter can make the screen put out less light, it must reason that it's using less power. You can tell that the screen even with a white picture is hardly putting out any radiant light with the "filter" applied.
The battery life is already really good on the lowest setting, so I'm not trying to save power. But if I want to check my phone while i'm in the theater, I don't want to blind the people behind me/disturb them. So it's great for that.
Try Rocket Rom. It does both things you are asking for.

This screen has no LCD backlight. It's an AMOLED screen, which means each subpixel is its own light source. Therefore, the screen "filter", which causes everything to be dimmer, does, indeed save battery.

[Q] Galaxy S4 Screen dimming.

I got my Galaxy S4 yesterday and noticed even after i turned auto brightness off, Set my screen to dynamic, the screen still changes brightness levels when entering the Chrome web browser (gets dimmer), playing some video games (screen get brighter) and other various tasks.
I am not a noob, I've gone through the phones settings for each app and cannot find a fix, do you guys notice your phones doing the same thing?? I might be a slight change in brightness level but non the less i like my screen extremely bright this is just my preference.
Any thoughts, ideas, tweaks or feedback on how to resolve this issue??

The only time I've seen this happen since I've gotten the device is when the battery dropped below 5%, and it automatically adjusted the brightness to seemingly the lowest it could go, and stuck until I charged it to full again.
I blame it on Samsung's stockware.
maybe this is why i couldnt get the phone to look as bright as my note 2. i was using the browser and cnn.com to compare.. my note 2 screen was brighter with both phones brightness on max.

Just throwing this out there...the screen does dim about 10 seconds before the screen times out and turns off...even if you have automatic brightness disabled.
Let's say you have a 1 minute timeout:
Screen on
50 seconds later screen dims
10 seconds later screen turns off
Just putting that out there in case - it is confusing to some.
Dude I'm having the same problem, yeah it's a small dim but it's freaking annoying cuz I have mine at full brightness all the time. I have the tmobile galaxy s4. I tried changing the screen mode and it still happens

I'm sure it has to do with preventing burn in. You probably already know this, but in the right conditions, the Auto brightness setting can get over 30% brighter than manually maxing the slider. Hopefully, it's something that can be unlocked at some point.

Its the power saving option. Its the same in s3. Go to powrr saving settjngs and uncheck the auto dim or auto brightness or something like that. It happens when power saving is on. I cant remember the exact optin coz im using custom rom on my s3.
Sent from my SGH-I747 using Tapatalk 2
This happened in the S4s I used in the store as well. Manual brightness, and auto screen adjust disabled, power save off. Opening certain apps like chrome and the stock browser causes the screen to dim a bit. Nothing I found prevented this behavior. It's annoying since I already find the screen to be a bit dim.
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I317 using Tapatalk 2
Notice this as well, super annoying. I've disabled power saving, auto screen adjust, etc. and even non-dynamic modes do it.
Hopefully this gets fixed by kernel mods in the future
Same problem, even with brightness max with auto off, decent charge, and off power saver. Very annoying
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I337 using Tapatalk 2
Its built into the Snapdragon, its called BRITE and seems works independantly of the auto screen tuning that the S4 has. The HTC One has it and its much more intrusive. I wrote a long winded post about it in the HTC One forums. You have to wait for devs to come out with kernels to disable it, much like they did for the Tegra 3
The HTC screen is bright enough that it doesn't matter. Samsung phones need to be at max brightness to be any good.

Just an FYI, if you put the screen on auto brightness, it reaches a higher maximum brightness outdoors as apposed to the slider. Samsung did this to keep the screen from overheating when set to max all the time.
I want full brightness indoors too.

I see. If you have the slider on max all the time, i think the screen will just dim eventually because of heat. Might want to stay away from the S4 then cus you might have screen problems down the line :/
If you havent go to settings display screen mode and use something other than adapt display. No more adjusting.

Screen too bright even on lowest brightness

Hello, I have recently purchased Moto G4 Play and I find the display of it too bright even on the lowest settings.
I used to read news and ebooks at bedtime but it is very stressful with this level of brightness.
I have tried 'Screen Filter' app and it slows down the mobile plus the actual brightness is not reduced.
I will root my device if it is going to help me with this brightness issue.
What would you recommend? My device is still in the 10 day window for return from Amazon.
Thanks.
Not sure about stock but the brightness goes pretty low on the XOSP rom I'm using right now.
Because you mentioned you use it for reading, I would recommend Twilight or f.lux(both available on playstore f.lux needing root).
They really help with the screen saturation and make it easier on your eyes.
I tried screen filter and it worked perfectly. Maybe it has something to do with the stock rom.
An alternate to screen filter would be Lux Lite it worked as good as screen filter maybe this works in your case.
Thanks for quick reply

I am already using Twilight : ), I am little scared about rooting this brand new mobile due to warranty issues. Just for comparison,
the lowest brightness on Moto G4 Play is like Middle for Moto G3 / E3.
Can I claim warranty after rooting this device?

It says on the bootloader unlock page that you cannot once the bootloader is unlocked. So you can't claim the warranty after rooting. But mostly they don't bother letting you claim it on some hardware problems but you should still think of it as void and not take any chances.
Twilight Pro is much enhanced that the free version. I'm using it since I bought this phone. It has "Bed Reading" profile which helps you read in the dark without letting you put stress on your eyes and help you sleep as soon as you leave your phone. According to me, just leave it on default settings and switch to Bed reading at night.

Hi, thanks for reply! I've got 'Bed Reading' profile option too but I am using the twilight free version. Anyway, buying it for sure since it certainly helps me and so should the dev get helped.
I have no compelling reason to root this device except this brightness issue, and I am little worried about Nougat update too, feeling maybe Lenovo will roll back its promise.
When I downloaded it first, it asked me to buy for just ₹20 ($0.29) and there was no reason for denial
What about the adaptive brightness?
I had adaptive brightness set to true when I was facing such a problem. Now it works fine. You can check the Ambient Light sensor in GPS Status and Toolbox app.

Screen filter puts an overlay over everything else, the backlight is still the same it just looks a little dimmer cause everything is a little greyer.
Xposed can lower the backlight

Great find. Now the brightness is perfect for night reading, and it will also improve battery life.
I don't understand though why manufacturers limit the min brightness when it's "free", maybe to artificially segment the market (flagships always have excellent low brightness)... There are cheap chinese phones that have hardware backlight limits, but for G4 Play it's definitely not the case, it's just software limited.

- Using GravityBox or AllMy..., ser the minimun brightness to 1 (or even 2)
- Without adaptative brightness, set the brightness (slider) to minimum
- Go to Youtube, play a video and expand it to fullscreen
The screen becames totally black, but the video still playing (the audio still playing).
Note that if the brightness slider isn't at the true real minimun, everything works nicely.
I tried exactly that, but it works for me. I also use Youtube background playback Xposed module.
