Two things regarding brightness I've found in 2.1 and wanting to know if I'm just missing something or what:
No more automatic brightness setting
The maximum brightness setting is about 2x as bright as the maximum setting on 1.6

Yes there is, through the widget with the wifi, gps and the other stuff.
Furthest to the right is a brightness icon that you can press to get auto brightness.

Can anyone confirm that this works?
Seriously, why in the world would SE remove a feature!

The middle setting is auto. In fact, Kindle even says 'To enable display brightness, turn off the automatic brightness adjustment in display settings.'
Mine does not ask a thing. Doesn't seem as auto option but a medium setting instead.

I have to say i miss that feature too. A lot. The middle setting is not auto. I downloaded Spareparts and enabled auto brightness but it does not seem to work. Not like 1.6 did anyway.

Hmm...did you actually put it infront of sunlight and check if the brightness automatically changes?
Alright everyone I was wary about the absence of the auto-brightness as well but I just did a test and I can confirm that the middle setting in the brightness setting on the power control widget is for auto-brightness. You can test this too by shining a bright light at the sensor, the screen brightness should INCREASE. Obviously a few of you mistook it for MEDIUM brightness which is understandable as the auto-brightness is between the minimum and maximum brightness under most circumstances, does that make sense?
Testet it with the Widget.
Seems to work. But in my opinion it worked better in 1.6.
Ah, good! Auto brightness is a critical feature IMHO.

Really? I've set the brightness in 2.1 to 100% which is as bright as 1.6 on 50%.

I second that. Much better in 1.6. Here it does not even change. You barely notice it when going from inside to outside etc... I also tried on the Desire of a friend, and same thing. So 1.6 must have been better at that I guess.
Somebody can tell me how to disable the feature of automatic brightness, leaving it at the value I want, independently by the light? sorry if it has already been asked, but with the search function in the threads I can't answer it myself.
Hope somebody will help, because now my battery is drained too fast =(

I use the Brightness Profiles app. It seems to hold the settings after reboots.
how to setting autobrightness on ARC S?
I dont know how to activate it.
ARC S has ambient light sensor, right?
It is activated by default. The brightness slider changes the range of brightness the auto brightness can change.

WRONG place to ask
Anyone know to change browser brightness ??? I already set maximum brightness on setting but the White background is so dim... I got headache and dizzy after a few minutes of using which i don know why ( never got this when using my iphone 4s with maximum brightness )
You can't change the browser (Chrome) brightness independently of the system brightness. Not sure about 3rd party browsers as I don't use them. If you turn off auto brightness in settings and set it to full, that is the brightest it will get.
I've just set my brightness to high and the white is VERY bright, maybe you have a faulty display?

You can manually link the brightness level depending on light level

No my screen is not Yellow, the colours aren't as vibrant as my Galaxy S3, but I'm getting used to it, I use CM10.1 and CM kernel.

If you use a custom kernel you can customize the colors to your liking. Use Trickster Mod to change colors as an free alternative.
Is there a hack or a utility that allows the user to set the maxiumum brightness of the AOD? I realise that it dims when the ambient lighting is dim but I find it too bright at other times.
AOD seems to have only 2 brightness levels, dim and bright. I'd like to be able to turn down the brightness.
Maybe you can find a custom rom with and brightness control ability?
Twiztd rom comea with such control ability(Twiztd controls) . I just found your thread. Hope that helps.

exactly I have the same problem with AOD and I hope Samsung add a feature to control it.
The ambient brightness on auto works in most case okey, but espcially in very dark environments I mean the brightness is too low.
Is there a way to force the ambient light sensor that brightness should never go under a specific level, e.g minium 55%?
Have tried some apps, but they can't fix it.
