[Q] Night Mode - Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi there. I just got a S 4. Coming from Galaxy Nexus. I am not sure but I cannot find the night mode on S4. You know the mode wher the phone dimms down and shown only the digital/analog clock also dimmed down. I always used this when going to bed. Any idea?

Download a day dream compatible clock from Google play and then enable daydream and clock will do what you want albeit only when the phone is plugged in.

Actually if you go to the Display section theres an option for Day Dream on or off toggle

Notification Bar

Do any of the new ROM's have the Brightness adjustment when you slide on the Notification Bar? It was on Eclair.
Nevermind I found one.
They should all have this feature. Just make sure auto brightness is turned off.

Not to start up a 5 day old thread; but I'm running Quantum Rom v2.0.0 and the slider bar in the notification window isn't there. And; I have the auto brightness off.
In fact; I don't think I've ever had it on any of the roms I've had since we switched to 2.2.

I must be losing it; cause I still don't see what you guys are talking about.
So here's a screenshot, hopefully I am just looking in the wrong place and it ends up I'm a moron.

Hold your thumb anywhere along the black status bar at the top to adjust your brightness. You need to have auto brightness turned off in order for it to work. It used to be that you could slide your finger along the status bar but it hasn't worked for me as of recent but long pressing it does. You don't need the entire notification screen pulled down, just have the status bar showing ie: If you have Launcher Pro hiding the status bar it will not work.
Got it!!
I thought it was going to be an actual slider like the Galaxy TAB has, but that is nice to have that hidden gem.
Thanks for the help!!
This is my most disliked "feature" on android. It is way to easy to inadvertently change the brightness when dragging the slider down. there should be a larger dead band around where your finger starts before the brightness change becomes active because most people do not swipe down perfectly straight every time. I have yet to make it a day without the thing changing brightness by mistake.
In fact as soon as we get the source, I'm going to compile a version with this "feature" removed...
Please remove,lol,thank you in advance

[Tutorial] How to reactivate autobrightness

I just played with the brightness of my Arc and noticed that the autobrightness was deactivated afterwards.
I downloaded a lot of widgets to set it back to auto, but it didn't work with a lot of them.
Then I finally found "widgetsoid" and that finally worked to set it back to auto.
So if anyone else has the same problem, here you have the right widget and don't have to spend time on finding the right app or widget.
Hope that helps you guys, because I found it beeing very annoying.
Regards,
Flo
In SE's Xperia line of phones, auto-brightness is ALWAYS enabled, no matter what you do (unless you run a non-stock custom ROM).
Try this, put the brightness slider around the 40% mark, shine a light on the sensor, if there's enough light, it will go to full brightness in no time. The same goes conversely.
And how to disable without use third part apps?
have anybody tried this app ? is it good ?
i read bad reviews like :
- unable to uninstall
- lag
- flood the widget list with so many stuff
etc etc
but it just reviews, so it might not be true, i don't know...
@ doomed and Lucas:
I just put the slider to max and then back down and it didn't work untill I set it to auto again with the app I mentioned in first post.

Widgetsoid is a fantastic program and works 100% with the Arc / Arc S
The auto brightness feature does work to a point, but you can also toggle 3 different percentages to suit where you are. I have mine set at 30%, 70% and 100%. You can also have a slider if you wish.
No problems at all with the app, although it's a bit complex to set up first time you won't be able to live without it in the end. Loads of options and configurations to keep anyone happy!

Auto brightness is disabled at the minimum and maximum point, only in the middle.
Ah, didn't know that.
In the middle it just worked a bit if even
After setting it back with the app I got it working again and I hope to have the stock SE setting back now.
I'm happy.
For people who get the same strange bug this might be usefull.

+1 for widgetsoid - I'm a long time user with my current Arc and previous HTC Desires and Hero phones.
As has already been said, its a bit complicated to set up initially but allows great functionality in a single widget.
Well worth a try.
i've been playing with it for a day now.
haven't check the auto-brightness feature yet, i downloaded this app at 6pm, so its already dark here. i've taken the arc on the street at night, and under room lighting, so far i think its always stay at 30% brightness. i'll see if this feature works under direct sunlight
there's a widget to view cpu temp and storage (rom,sd,ram) status now
just wondering, is there a way to make the storage status more accurate.
most the time, the ram status doesn't show the latest status. maybe there's a setting to make it check the ram status more uptodate

i have no idea about this. please explain it for me
The only thing I hate about widgetsoid is that you can't backup your setup, so if you do a Nandroid restore, you'll have to set up each widget again. I had about 8 switches, and then you have to choose a function, colour, opacity. Really sucks.

[Q] Is the Galaxy Not 3 missing the Adjust Brightness toggle?

I was just customizing my toggles and noticed something not there? Is the Galaxy Not 3 missing the Adjust Brightness toggle?

Lol - the infamous mortification panel :laugh:
You have to enable it in Settings>notification bar if you want it to remain visible as opposed to hidden under a swipe.

Yes, when the battery hits 5% the screen dims by itself and the brightness slider disappears.

Quiet mode question

Ok so I have this activated so as to stop being woken in the night by email notifications etc however I have noticed that when I have daydream set to activate (I use the phone in a stand by my bed as a night/alarm clock) that the daydream clock is a little bright. So, when I switch that off so the screen is just black that when an email comes in through the night the green led is really bright.
Is there anyway to disable this along with the notification sounds when quiet mode is enabled.
I would ideally like to have a bedside clock app that is quite dark that acts as an alarm but also disables all notifications sounds and the led.

I use tasker to set the phone in silent mode under certain conditions and lightflow to control the led. Both are found in the store, tasker is quite advanced.
AutomateIt is perfect for this. I set vibrate mode on at 12am and vibrate +sound on at 7am. I like it better than the Quiet mode
I find that the daydream clock is a little bright for me at night but if I switch that off then the led works and is really bright. I need a 3rd party app that has a night clock and also the ability to silence notifications and led
