I noticed that it was working though I didn't find the open under the settings, but after I changed the brightness settings, seems like it doesn't anymore!!
Is SE hidden "Auto" under the carpet?
Dont be silly, the setting is right there... oh... actually, where has it gone?
Hmmm... cant find it in settings, sure it was there before. Try widgetsoid, that has an auto brightness toggle which works fine.

Are you guys are serious or just try to be
Ever since X10 was upgraded to 2.1, they took away the "auto brightness" from it. It used to be there when it was 1.6. Now I don't find that option in Arc as well, which is kind of weired. If you guys found it ... then I don't have any words to say!!

not being sarcastic mate..
when i got the arc I really remember seeing the option and testing it out...
since I never use it I really havent gone to the display settings (just use a widget to control brightness)..
after I read this post I went to chk it and it wasnt there...funny!

Honestly, I'm not trying to be funny here, but my Arc is only couple of days old and since I bought I didn't find this option at all. This particularly bothers me when I go out the brightness is too dark to read and I've to adjust it and then I come inside the shade, it's too dark
Honestly i swear there was one there - there was a checkbox on the slider popup. There was a software update about a week after i got mine, maybe they removed it in that.
I also remember reading something about it *always* being on regardless, and all the slider does in settings is set a general level it will change around, i.e. a 'gain' setting. Maybe that's what's changed in the update, and why they removed the checkbox. However, that doesnt explain why it doesnt seem to be working for you.
Regardless, auto-brightness still works on mine if i enable it via widgetsoid (or any other extended controls widget will probably do it). I can put my thumb over the sensor and the screen will darken etc.
it's always on apparently. i've tested it by passing the light sensor part of the phone over a ray of light coming from the window and you can see the brightness change. the light sensor refreshes every 3-5 secs or so.

I tested with the application you have recommended and setting it to auto seems like doing the job but it wasn't the case with some other widgets I tried. I don't quite understand why SE has to remove that check box. They did it for X10 when they upgraded from v1.6 to v2.1 and they seems like done it for Arc as well with smaller firmware update. But thanks anyway the application.
By-the-way are you using the same firmware version as mine or is it different?
I'm running 3.0.A.2.184.

I tried all methods from this thread and my auto brightness was not working until I put Power control Wideget (the one originally installed with system). One settings of its most right button activated auto brightness. Now it is nice to have it working.

I'm not sure what happened there, it works for me with widgetsoid without any issues! But I did face issues with few other widgets like Switchpro widgets or Extended Controls.
I don't think the Xperia Arc has auto brightness setting for the display. I looked at the power control widget, and the brightness control button does not have the 'A' state.

Have you tried the widget suggested? It has that "A" option you mentioned.
At the left side of the speaker for phoning theres this 5mm dot like thing. When I put my thumb on it, the brightness changes drastically. It probably thinks that Im in a dark room. When I release my thumb it goes back to normal. I notice this a lot since I put my left thumb there while watching movies.
Sooo ... auto brightness worked for me out of the box.
(I love the screen in direct sunlight ! On my mums milestone (droid) you can basically see nothing !)

Sorry, but you didn't know that there is this sensor for light?
Bought mine a month ago and one of the first things i did was adjusting display brightness. There was no auto brightness option and still isn't, 100% sure (.181). But it's working fine so i have no problem with it.

Go to SETTINGS >> DISPLAY and check if you have the Pulse Notification Light set to OFF.

You could try a different rom. Or you can try an app like this: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.haxor&hl=en
It's also a nice way to get your screen even darker.
The only draw back is the status bar notification.

problem solved by turning on power saver mode anyway. but thanks for trying to help me
option B
You can download a hidden menu app from the play store. Then go into the application "engineer mode". There you will find a button to turn the lights for the buttons on & off.
Here are some screenshots of the menu.
Hello,
Anyone had success in activating sRGB and keeping it turned on?
I was fiddling with the options and tried switching on sRGB, thinking it was activated I took pictures but it looked the same. Then when i went back to the developer option, the sRGB toggle was switched off. Everytime I manually switch it on, and left the developer options menu, the sRGB option will automatically switch off.
Tried searching for it but the only hint I found was about secure startup (need to disable for the sRGB to persist), but for that scenario it only toggles off after the phone resets. https://forum.xda-developers.com/nexus-6p/help/srgb-mode-resetting-reboot-t3252038
Any ideas?
Thank you.

I too tried this and got same results as yours.
P.S. What's the main purpose of sRGB?

If I am not mistaken, should be able to reproduce better color on screen, but I'm not so sure

That would be a cool feature to have.
No. SRGB produces natural colour which looks washed out. Some may prefer some may not. Personally i like vivid and bright colors on display

Didn't understand your post dude. Are you saying that you were able to keep the sRGB setting after switching off secure startup?

Ah sorry, I was referring to the users of Huawei Nexus 6P's experience, where when users toggled it on, it stays on until the phone is reset, after-which the toggle switches off automatically. They noted that for it to persistently switch on even after reset, the user needs to disable secure startup.
Anyone else experiencing this? Just a quick, single, black flicker when unlocking, happens with both PIN and FP.
[UPDATE - SOLVED]
The solution for me, and a few other users, was to open Samsung pay to re-authenticate the fingerprint.
If you've recently set up FP, or added a new FP at any point, Samsung Pay will ask you when it opens to authenticate to true it up.
Once I did this, no more flickering. Thanks everyone!

Blame the superfast processor for it, when you open your phone w/fp there is a momentary flash of your lock screen it goes so fast that you can't even tell.
If you want to test my theory then put some more pronounced, bright colored lock screen wallpaper, red or shiny green and you'll see it in the blink of your eyes while turning your phone on.
Did you disable or speed up animations?

I think I know what you mean, I get the same on .5x, it's definitely just skipping some frames to get past the animation faster, if you set it back to 1 it goes away.

I did have animations set to .5x in dev options, but setting it back to 1x didn't affect it.
The phone unlocks and I see my home screen for .1 second, then it does the super quick black flash, then home screen again.

I can't help, but I know what the problem is and Samsung can definitely fix it.
If you unlock the phone while the lock screen is on you won't see any flickering, it only happens when you unlock from screen off/aod, it should go straight to the home screen at this point, but it goes through the lock screen for 0.1s instead.
Here's a GIF of the flicker: https://gph.is/g/ZO3dRgZ

Changed lock screen to plain black, left wallpaper, still doing it, weird.
I guess I'll try a factory reset at this point. It's quite annoying and makes it seem kinda unpolished.

It could be a Snapdragon only issue, try asking other Americans about it.
