I am currently running JPA/JPB Hybrid firmware and I was wondering if there even is a sensor for the auto-brightness.
Normaly I have set my brightness to the lowest level, which is enough for indoor usage. But as soon as I am outdoors in the sunlight I can't even tell if the display is on or off with this brightness level.
Now the strange thing about this is that it does not seem to make a difference whether you check the "Power saving mode" in the Display settings or not - the Display brightness always stays the same:
- with the highest level it does not get darker in very dark rooms to save battery
- with the lowest level it does not get brighter even in direct sunlight, which makes the display unusable
On the left of the Samsung-logo there are 2 "holes", I guess one must be the proximity sensor and the other one the brightness sensor?
Is there any way to have the brightness on a very low level in dark rooms and on a high level in bright rooms / outdoor WITHOUT switching manually? Even switching with a widget sucks, because outdoors the display is so dark that I can't even draw the pattern to unlock the screen first (at least not without covering the display from the sunlight)
If there is I think the driver is missing so it's useless.
There is a brigness sensor, not for auto adjusting the screen brighness, for example try *#0*# and press sensor, now if you put you finger on the sensor, you phone vibrates, it means it is dark, if your finger is not on the sensor, it says, its brighten outside, that is for example to telephone, the screen goes dark, when you put the phone to your ears
"that is for example to telephone, the screen goes dark, when you put the phone to your ears"
No, that's the proximity sensor, and I think there is no light sensor in SG3, because that test app shows only proximity, accelerometer and magnetic sensor.

Power Saving is not for dynamically change the strenght of backlight. It's just turning to lowest level when your battery is 15% and less.
And there is 2 holes, for proximity sensor. Try to cover one hole, and it doesn't work. Why? Because 1 hole sending an infrared (I think...) wave, and second is receiving that back, from eg., your hand.

totaly makes sense - thank you very much!
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?
Even with the least brightness selected for the display, the notification in lock screen comes with highest brightness. Any way to reduce this ? This is usually too bright for in a dark room.
Is there an option, or program, or exposed module to increase the amount of time a notification is displayed on the ambient display?
It appears to only be a couple seconds right now. I'd like to increase that a bit if possible.
Thanks!
The brightness that allows the phone to get more bright than what manual maximum brightness settings allow under high ambient conditions. Is it possible to enable this level of brightness on manual maximum brightness constantly with root and tweaking a certain script? I really like whiter whites.
No one even knows how to remotely answer this question?
