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!

and apps force closing are just the man keeping us down!
... 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The phone had an update pending the day I purchased it so most of the reviews I have seen are out of date.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.
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.

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.
Hello,
I picked up my GS4 about a week ago but haven't really used it in direct sunlight until today. I was outside, and the sun was shining brightly on the screen. Home screen was fine, and darker images were ok, but if I were to go to an app with a primarily white background, or open up something which used the keyboard (texting) the screen would flicker pretty noticeably. Brightness is all the way up, and auto tone was off.
Has anyone else seen this?
yup this is normal esp when using the keyboard.
Im not sure if it will be fixed.

I guess my question is, is this a hardware issue with many GS4's or a minority. I came across a thread on the Tmobile GS4 forum where people were experiencing it, but it seems not everyone is.

Its a hardware thing, but also its only in touchwiz so a developer might be able to turn it off so to speak.
It adjusts the color and tone no matter what to save the display from overheating and or burning in...
Does it a lot and I notice it cause im weird about those kinds of things.
If you use CM 10.1 or AOKP its gone.
ive made some progress with the RGB light meter on this; hoping a friend can write up some code so we can test out a 'smoothed out' transition and sampling rate and one that is sped up, averaged faster, but will take up more CPU and RAM and battery but more accurate.
here is another thread regarding it:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2280715
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2284726
Maybe if someone who is using CM10 or AOKP could test it to see if it is a software issues and not a hardware issue?
edit: slade and jet replied while I was writing this...thanks for the info. looks like it is touchwiz related.
edit2: just went out in the sun again to test a lot of different options in the display settings (which none worked) but is seems it is only happening when the keyboard is enabled. I am using swiftkey.
yeah TW and that sensor communicate; i believe the sensor itself probably works better ALONE, but TW changes it and throttles it for either battery or screen safety.
It is always dependent on what is being pulled up on the screen, though it can be mitigated quite a bit if you disable all power saving and screen auto features, and leave brightness under 80% or so.
yea anything under 80% in direct sun is basically black. all power saving and screen auto modes were disabled. i covered up all of the sensors too and it still flickered....

Not just a sensor thing per-say.
It's hard to explain, they most likely did it because they didn't want the amoled to burn in.
Its the same reason why the brightness goes up another 34% or so on auto above the max brightness. Only uses it when needed to save the screen and battery.
Does it on youtube too btw, bring up a video on wide screen then tap it and you'll see the drastic color shift
I noticed this thing when I got my phone also. I thought I was just imagining it but I guess it's an actual problem

I guess I should have done my research about OLED screens, but I feel that this screen is way too dim both indoors and outdoors. Is anyone else having problems with this? I know that the peak brightness is 475 on autobrightness, but I feel that the screen never reaches that. On another note, the colors seem very saturated and unreal even on movie mode...
Is there any way I can set the autobrightness to kick in at a higher lux indoors? I know it seems like I am venting, but I really like this phone but the display brightness may make me abandon for the Nexus 5...
Thank you everyone!

Root the phone and install a custom ROM. That will give you the ability to change the auto brightness levels easily.
You could also turn off auto brightness and set it manually so you fan boost it all the way up whenever you wanted.
As far as the hardware capabilities the screen is capable of being plenty bright. I could see mine if I was standing on the face of the sun.

Some of you may have noticed it's difficult to watch dark scenes in movies on the gpad. I think the problem is the gamma calibration, you can see it clearly on the pictures I took.
https://imageshack.com/i/nf96iaj
On the top you can see my nexus 7 2013, you can differentiate all the shades of grey from 1% white to 100%.
On the gpad, everything is solid black from 1% to 12% of white.
You can find the original image here : http://imageshack.us/f/594/6291.png/
How low can you go, on your gpad, before the grey melts with the black ?
Do you know an app to apply gamma correction ?
Here you can see the same picture on the N7 and the gpad. You can't even distinguish the guy's ear on the g pad.

I see the difference, and I knew it was there already also.. I'm sorry, but apparently gamma is not something that is doable. - I was looking to link you the app from market called "Screen Adjuster", however you want to look at this description, especially the last sentence. ;/
- dimming the screen 15-100% (below minimum system brightness)
- screen color and a contrast adjustment
- system brightness 0-100% adjustment
- functional widget (on/off, system brightness, settings)
- autorun option
Some phones have a color tint screen. This app have a possibility to try to improve colors on this kind of the screen by setting an additional factor RGB.*
The range of the dimmer is from 15% to 100% (it allows to dim the screen below a min system brightness value). Make a relief for your eyes during a nightly reading.
Furthermore, you can change fast the system brightness too.
The additional contrast factor can try to make the reading or a picture viewing more comfortable on some screens.*
The widget provides fast on/off service with a shortcuts to the Adjuster settings and the system brightness settings.
The application has the autorun option which works with the dimmer set above 22% (for the safety).
Note
A gamma adjustment is not possible to do.
You can of course try and download the app anyways and see if contrast or brightness will do anything for ya.
- In case you do download the app, remember that setting contrast low will result in problems with installing apps, as in you cannot hit Install, only cancel. To avoid this, open up Screen Adjuster and turn it off, install the app and turn it back on afterwards. It's something about lowering the settings to lower than what is "intended", I don't quite understand it and I find it rather odd. But it let's you install apps.. So I guess hooray.
That's all I got.

Thank you for your response, but I'm already using screen adjuster. I set the contrast at -25 and it helps a lot to see dark details.
Unfortunately, it has two side effects :
- it brightens the dark shades of grey, but also the black levels.
- I noticed that the contrast setting also affects the white making it look like light grey.
So the contrast setting in screen adjuster doesn't affects only the dark tones like it would on a monitor or a tv, it affects the contrast ratio.
I've found apps to make gamma adustment but it only works on some devices with custom kernel.

Yea, I was about to say that gamma can be done but only on custom kernels. Lot of Nexus 5 stuff on the market. Apparently it's Google who locked the gamma settings completely down but only in 4.4.2. I guess it may work on stock LG Kernel since it's only 4.2.2? I'm afraid we'll have to wait for some kernel support for other roms. That would be awesome. I really hope for some Franco-kernel-glory on this device.
That's what I thought, we need to wait for custom kernels...I hope it will come soon, because it's so frustrating to have such a good screen with bad calibration !
People tends to complain too much about the warm white balance but the gamma calibration is far more concerning.

Hi there Young Bobbie, I am new to posting on XDA so I couldn't post this in your kernel developer page. This is my first post on any forum page ever. First off, thank you very much for your hard work to make this kernel happen to correct gamma on the v500. I have been sitting on the fence whether to get the gpad, and if i would get the v500 or the v510. Was leaning toward the v510 because of Sleekmason's wonderful kernel work, but it's exciting that we have now have the same options available for the v500. I noticed this was working fully with the Malladus ROM. My question to you was whether or not this worked with stock LG ROM as well? Thank you again YoungBobbie and Sleekmason for your time and creations.
Sorry, just answered my own question. Guess it helps to read the very first line of the page (making fun of myself now ;-P) Thank you again YoungBobbie and sleekmason!!!
