Help Automatic brightness adjustment

unspankable

Newbie
Hi there,

Is there an app that allows you to adjust the automatic brightness levels? When it adjusts to ambient it wastes too much battery but I don't want to be stuck on manual low brightness. Someone mentioned it in the atrix forums but there was no solution.

Anyone know a way to adjust the auto brightness threshold down?
 
Not aware of how to change the thresholds - it is easy to quickly change brightness manually on the SGSII though - long press the notifications area and drag finger left/right to alter the brightness. I use it in preference to automatic, very quick and easy, maybe it will be of use to you also?
 
I have to say the brightness has been a pain when I turn the phone on outside in bright sunlight. The phone doesn't brighten at all sometimes.

thats a great tip, u should post it in the tips n tricks thread if not already :D thanks. i had it on manual too and i didnt adjust it much, but now i guess i will :D
 
I think I already posted it there, or someone did at any rate. Worth mentioning again periodically for those who might not have seen it.
 
I use this feature pretty often, especially when your display is low and you are out in the sun, trying to go through the menu's is a nightmare, but by just swiping the notification bar its easily turned up.
