Laptopmedia showed pulse width modulation present on the A7. Would anyone know at what brightness level this starts at? Has anyone tested this on their DSLR camera?

Does anyone know the exact position of the light sensor on N1?
Also I found the automatic brightness a little dim for me
IMO i should be able to set brightness relative to light sensor, as on symbian devices
I believe its in the top left on the front, next to proximity sensor, i use manual brightness settings.
What are your observations, settings, and thoughts about tweaking CM6's light sensor levels?
(Settings > CyanogenMod settings > User interface > Automatic backlight > Edit other levels...)
Observations...
I've noticed that the sensor seems to only pick up light levels only at specific intervals (raw values, not filtered)... for me that was 160 (never went lower), 640, 1280, 2600, and 10240.
When it comes to lowest level the sensor reads it isn't really that low. I can be sitting at my lightly lit room or in complete darkness and 160 is the reading I get. Also, the highest level the sensor reads isn't really that high. I can be standing outside on an overcast day or in full sunlight and 10240 is what I get.
Thoughts...
Basically, given the observed intervals above, I have been trying to find a reasonable screen brightness at each level, where the screen is bright and doesn't appear washed out, but isn't unnecessarily bright either.
What is the lowest screen brightness that looks descent when the light sensor reads 160, 640, 1280, etc?
Where I'm at...
upto 160 - 35
upto 640 - 50
upto 1280 - 75
upto 2600 - 100
upto 10240 - 125
I really would like to tweak the higher levels, but I'm having a more difficult time finding lighting that is in those ranges. I also setup the power control widget to toggle the brightness between Auto>Dim>75%>100% to cover the lower light levels not picked up (below 160) and the higher levels not picked up (above 10240).
Observations? Settings? Thoughts?
Hi
I have noticed that the readings from the ambient light sensor on the HTC One are reported as discrete values (10,40,90,160,225,320,640,1280,2600 and finally 10240). On other devices I have experience with, the readings are often continuous.
An other issue is that the so called "ambient" light sensor on the HTC One works more like a spot light sensor, in my opinion. For example standing below a ceiling down light results in a very hight "ambient" light reading even if the actual light (hence ambient light) in the room are pretty dark. Keeping the phone at the same position just angeling it a few degrees any direction will lead to a dramatical drop in the sensor reading. The intervals in between the reported values doesn't exactly help either.
My point is that the ambient light sensor is influenced to much by direct light sources rather than actually register the ambient light in the surroundings. I have not seen similar behavior in other devices from other manufacturers.
I know that the ambient light sensor for the Galaxy SII reported discrete ambient light values with stock kernel, and continuous values with the CM kernel.
Can the HTC One kernel devs change the behavior of the HTC One ambient light sensor the same way? I'm guessing that the reported values are a result of software (kernel/config/other), rather then the actual sensor itself.
I think the behavior of the sensor can explain why the display backlight control of the HTC One seems to be "less" precise, especially in bright condition, and that the display often feels to bright.
On my Galaxy Tab, the ambient light sensor is also reported in discrete value, and it generally doesn't really work with adjusting screen brightness. tbh, the most responsive ambient light sensor i've seen is on the macbook pros.
I have been googling this looking for a solution but i have not found one. I use Sensor Explorer and it reports back that the HTC One light sensor [cm36282] has a resolution of 1 lux, so it should be able to report continuous values at this resolution. How can we enable this? Is this kernel dependent or OS dependent? I wish this issue got more attention, but as i've noticed through my googling i don't find many threads regarding this issue. I would like to have the ability to fully utilize my sensor.
Hello,
So I noticed that when the LG G Watch R goes into ambient mode the brightness increases.
Seems as if the brightness for ambient is independent of when the watch is "on".
I have tested it by using Wearfaces and created custom faces with the same setup for "on" and ambient and it is quite noticeable.
Is there a way to adjust the ambient brightness?
I have saw some threads talking about decreasing the brightness of the images for the dial, date, hands, etc. but I don't find this a good fix. Any suggestions?
This is quite bothersome. Please help!
I have same problem. Its strange that brightness in normal mode can be changed and in ambient not.... during night its pretty distracting :/
I've been searching for a way to adjust the ambient mode as well.
It's very noticeable in a dark environment.
Anyone figure out how to decrease ambient brightness through root modifications?
So there is that awesome 700 nits brightness boot with auto brightness. Problem is that it only activates in direct sunlight. Sometimes i have to angle my phone directly into the sunlight, wich sometimes isnt possible.
Is there like a tweaked kernel or something where i can set that high brightness level myself manually?

This kernel supports Kcal display control, so you can tweak your heart out to make your display the way you want it.
