I want to monitor temperature of my s8 and when the sensor detects high temperature I want that the phone notify me with sound.
I tried using automate app with temperature sensor component but it doesn´t work
Is there another option?

Hello! Sorry to keep you waiting! The Samsung Galaxy S8 already has that feature inside its hardware. It will alert you when the device is to hot or cold to operate normally and shut down some applications.
This feature is actually built into the phone, when the temperature goes above average the phone will notify you by feeling hot...

I have set my S4 up so that it runs at 100% display illumination when charging. No autobrightness.
What is bothering me know is that the screen dims to about 50% very quickly after I stop touching the display and jumps up to 100% while I touch it.
Toggling smart stay doesn't change anything. Smart stay on doesn't help even when I look at the display (though it should just prevent it from going off .. not from dimming if I understand correctly.
I would like to display to stay at 100% when charging .. or at least set dimming to "after 15 secs" or so.
What needs to be done?

I was reading about that and i found something about the chipset SnapDragon has an inside feature to adjust the screen brightness independently of the software (firmware on this case). Maybe you are watching that effect..

There is a small tool that fixes it: "Caffeine" .. obviously
Intelliscreen also does the trick .. and there is a timeout you can set (not sure if it messes up the timeout for regular use when not charging though).

Is not the solution because caffeine prevents from time up screen brightness but it doesn't prevent from cpu feature. Even if the screen is always wake up and the autobrightness is off, the brightness will be changed because the chipset.

Could this be related to heat? With the screen on and charging + what ever other task you have the S4 doing it may be the S600 is governing the screen to reduce heat... just a theory like.
I'm having the same problem too.
If i unlock the phone the screens dims to about minimum brightness.
I can touch the brightness bar to make it brighter and it stays that way for as long as i don't lock the phone
If i lock the phone and unlock it again the screen dims again?
Tried all different settings bur nothing helps...
Very annoying....
Yesterday i bought and installed lightflow to control my led indicator.
Just a minute ago i removed the app and voila! No more screen dimming!
Damn, really love that app but rather no led control than having my screen dimmed to the lowest possible brightness.
Are the sensors(proximity, temperature, gravity, etc) working all the time? Im using the app "gravity screen off" and Im wondering if it will shorten the lifetime of the sensors.
Thanks
well, i know the Temp and Humidity sensor is always active, i have an app that shows any change in temp / humid levels

Thank you for the information.
Does anybody know about the other sensors?
proximity sensor and light sensors are also always on
you should be able to tell, when the screen auto adjust brightness depending on the lighting conditions of the room
and you can tell the proximity sensor works, when you leave your phone on desk for a while then come back and pick it up, it vibrates to acknowledge wake up from deep idle
Hello everyone ... Can someone help me please... I have my s5 for a few days ... And now I saw that my proximity sensor Is always on, I can see the red light even if my phone is locked... And I'm worried that is using my battery I got 5 or 6 h display max with 1 day of usage
Proximity sensor doesn't utilize a red light. Maybe you have a malfunctioning notification light?
Notification light is on the left. Proximity and light sensors are on the right.

It is on the right side... I barrely see it... But it s there and I know when is not on..... And trust me I'm not a NOOB
U can see it just in very low light.... At night )
Yup! Have noticed that with other phones too. It will be a very faint glow that you can see in the dark. I've seen it on at times too but it hasn't affected function so I never gave it a second thought

This is not a concern. The proximity sensor is an infra red sensor and emits a faint amount of visible red light. All of the S5's do that, it's normal and it is no barrier to great battery life.
If you did a forum search you would find existing threads where this has been asked and answered before. The glow probably represents the average bias current as the sensor periodically polls it's environment every x ms. In any event it's normal and expected behaviour.

Thank you man... I was just worried because after I restart, it doesn't remain on and it s ok for some time (I think) ... And I can't see that infrared light... But after some time it stay on always )
After a fresh reboot, there may not be any apps using the proximity sensor. But a lot of apps do make use of it, so as soon as you use an app that does, the sensor will start monitoring and there will be that glow.
I don't think that the sensor uses much battery in most apps as mine is usually on. Even my screensaver makes use of the sensor and I still get great battery life.

please can you tell me name of these apps who are using proximity sensor becoz in my case i haven't installed any app that will use it

finally i solved it.... it was Smart remote software and that software using air gesture.... i disabled "use air gestures" option from setting in smart remote app and problem solved :good:
i hope this information helpful for everyone....
Afaik, S Health uses the accelerometer and gps to determine the steps taken holding the device. Similarly, the smart lock feature uses the accelerometer for on-body detection. Question is: if i disable these features do the sensor turn off and save more battery, or would it be still powered on and just the apps not reading/using its data and hence no effect on battery saving? Can anyone help here plz?
You'd save battery by not using those features.
But won't the accelerometer be running in the background already?? Like with every movement of the device?? Or is it completely shut down?
I don't see any reason for the accelerometer to be running in the background without any apps using it.
My android HU is capable of dimming the screen automatically when i turn on the headlights. However, it is still too bright even after dimming. Is there a way to adjust the dimmimg level after the HU is triggered by the headlight signal that is connected to the illum wire?
Thanks

Hey,
You can just install Lux app and it will adjust the brightness depending on time during the day.
Hi staticx1,
i read this from Play Store:
■ [Paid Only] Use your ambient light sensor or camera(s) to read in ambient light.
So, maybe the pay version of Lux is able to take the ambient light level from the usb front camera?

You don't need a camera. Inside the app options you can define brightness based on time in day. It can read the location from your car GPS and determine what needs to be the correct brightness level. Make sure you choose night node and automatically night mode inside the options.

Ok thanks
But i would like to know if a front usb camera can be viewed like a "system camera" by android system and other apps, because i think that real ambient light measurement is better than gps based sunrise and sunshine calculation...

From what I've seen, you cannot use usb camera as the android system camera...
if you want to use Lux, you can define it as the following settings:

Still have not gotten this to work. I'd love to see a video of someone showing me this working properly. I'm going nuts w /lux

me two.... not working for me. Its not changing no matter what time I set...
I'm just using "screen filter" with nova launcher. I double tap the screen for dimming and one more time for regular brightness.
You could also use tasker for that but it's overkill in my opinion.
There's also the option of Twilight - from what I understand works in a very similar way to Lux: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.urbandroid.lux
