hi i bought this app just 20 minutes ago and i it seem that its not working, i could see the toggle ALS on the menu but whenever i tap it nothing happens... what procedure did i miss?

i have xperia mini st15i, running android 2.3.4
[Xperia Play Themes and Apps] hatcyl:
Sorry, it's been reported to not work on the mini.
[Xperia Play Themes and Apps] DrearierJester1:
so I must get a refund then.... tsk2...
[Xperia Play Themes and Apps] teckhwee:
Does this app make the screen reach its full brightness potential? like when its outdoors, when you are indoors or dark places?

Does it really work? cos the script method only makes the auto brightness react slower, instead of really disabling it.
[Xperia Play Themes and Apps] hatcyl:
Yes, sorry. Just email me with your order number.

Unless, you want to help me get it working on your device. you'll have to give me remote access to your PC.

no promises though.
[Xperia Play Themes and Apps] hatcyl:
A lot of people are reporting it really works.
[Xperia Play Themes and Apps] afunnyname:
Does not work with X10 Mini Pro
[Xperia Play Themes and Apps] Logseman:
It wasn't supposed to.
[Xperia Play Themes and Apps] hatcyl:
Is that the same as Xperia Mini Pro? If so, it should work.

Do you have root?
[Xperia Play Themes and Apps] afunnyname:
The Sony Ericsson u20i, right? Mini Pro.

Yes, have root. Allowed the app Superuser when prompted, and get the superuser notification when attempting to toggle, but does not affect automatic brightness.

Does it matter that I'm running MiniCM7 Pro v20?

The automatic brightness options in that ROM aren't working, and I'm not allowed to post in the thread about it due to not having posted ten times yet.

:(
[Xperia Play Themes and Apps] hatcyl:
I'm sorry, I really don't know. The best I can do is to have you let me remote into your pc with your phone connected and let me explore a bit... I don't know if you want that.

Hey there !

I have a rooted Xperia Play R800i with 2.3.3, build number 4.0.A.2.368 and running doomlord kernel. I downloaded, tried to open and it stated that it was "not supported" so I refunded it. Now I try and go back to get it and when I try to install it says I have not paid for it....do I need to wait to try again ? Why would it say it was not supported ?

Thanks for the help
[Xperia Play Themes and Apps] hatcyl:
It wouldn't say it's not supported. Are you sure you are talking about this app?

It also wouldn't say you haven't paid.
[Xperia Play Themes and Apps] awoken:
works perfectly on my play! thanks
[Xperia Play Themes and Apps] Aristocrat27:
I will try again tonight...after I refunded it I had to wait about an hour for it to come back to buy it again...
[Xperia Play Themes and Apps] Aristocrat27:
OK...it says to me- Complete Actions Using - No applications can perform this action -

and I have no choices to choose anything to run it with......help please
[Xperia Play Themes and Apps] Aristocrat27:
What application am I missing ?
[Xperia Play Themes and Apps] hatcyl:
Sorry man, either you have the wrong app or your phone is messed up.

are you just pressing the star icon? What happens when you press preferences app?
[Xperia Play Themes and Apps] Aristocrat27:
Well I download it from the store / pay etc and then go to click OPEN on the top and it comes up with that message....
[Xperia Play Themes and Apps] hatcyl:
Have you tried from your app drawer?

Is the icon a star?
[Xperia Play Themes and Apps] Nextron:
Aren't there more methods and FREE? Like the shoulder-buttons mod is free too and no one wants our mone + 50% giving to XDA is not very much if you do something what other people do for free.
[Xperia Play Themes and Apps] hatcyl:
I want your money :)

This is my only paid app, I do stuff for free too, have you donated to any XDA member?
[Xperia Play Themes and Apps] Nextron:
Maybe not, but I dont convince other people to give me some. And you are a liar. You have more paid apps: Camera Mod, Change Shoulder Buttons. Dont piss in my mouth and call it lemonade :)
[Xperia Play Themes and Apps] Cat_On_Droid:
read before you post , he made the change shoulder button app to free because it had like 10 downloads ...so made it free => wise choice

camera mod i never heard of...so cant speak of it
[Xperia Play Themes and Apps] hatcyl:
Camera Mod: Not my app, bit that guy has a free version and donate version. ... I am guessing you got the free version only. :\

Change Shoulder Buttons: Was paid at first with the same idea as Disable Auto Brightness (donate 50%), but now it is free since a lot of people didn't buy it.

I got Hardware Disabler for free with Ads

And everything else (3 useful 2 useless) is free without ads.
[Xperia Play Themes and Apps] AndroHero:
Really thats a pathetic comment, many devs on xda sell paid versions of there apps and don't give anything back to XDA. This community would be far better without self centered ungrateful cheap little men like you. Who expect developers to work for them for free. When was the last time you did anything for XDA? When was the last time you gave something back?
[Xperia Play Themes and Apps] captain67:
Writing code takes time, and time is money. I agree completely.

Sent from the best phone ever
[Xperia Play Themes and Apps] Nextron:
Alright then.. but when there's a free version out yet? It's like I would make a paid Angry Birds ver. now. There was a mod for shoulder buttons already, so why doing a new PAID one?

Edit: OK sorry maybe very ungrateful, but then answer my question: I saw a free one there. Why making a paid one then?
[Xperia Play Themes and Apps] hatcyl:
To answer your question. I made another app for shoulder buttons because I was doing it differently (no restart required)

I made it paid because I wanted to see if I could make done money both for myself and xda members.

I then made it free because it only had 10 downloads after a few days.

So that is the answer.
[Xperia Play Themes and Apps] Nextron:
Ok. Sorry. I just think I overreacted, cause I really dont like people making money not for their innventions. Thats definitely not your type. Sorry dude, you made a good job there, but I just dont have a credit card or paypal account or whatever I need to support you.
[Xperia Play Themes and Apps] hatcyl:
No worries.

I sent you a PM.
[Xperia Play Themes and Apps] pawo99:
@Hatcyl is possible to set screen to lower brightness??

When I press Toggle ALS screen is too much bright for me at room in evening. I want set it to lower shine. Screen rocker is not working when is autobrightness disabled.

I bought this app with hope that brightness can be set to my needs. :confused:
[Xperia Play Themes and Apps] hatcyl:
You should still be able to control your brightness regularly. Just adjust it in setting - display our using the power control widget.
[Xperia Play Themes and Apps] shiftylock:
... brightness level by curvefish does the same thing and gives you a widget? and is free.... .___.
[Xperia Play Themes and Apps] hatcyl:
This app is only for xperia devices. Normally you can't disable auto brightness on those. Only this app will work, but requires root.
[Xperia Play Themes and Apps] pawo99:
Normaly I have brightness set to lowest as possible. After pressing toggle ALS it disables autobrightnes but also sets brightness to higher value. This increasing of brightness is not visible in slider in Display settings. Only higher values are possible. So I cannot set it to its previous (as low as possible) value!

What's the point? :

When autobrightness is disabled with Toggle ALS, I must use higher brightness as I'm normally using. :(

I have tested this program on stock and on MIUI port for NEO, too. Behaviour is the same in this two ROMs.
[Xperia Play Themes and Apps] Geeve:
I would certainly pay 1$ for an app that is useless since 2.3.4 update!
[Xperia Play Themes and Apps] hatcyl:
Wow I am getting attacked all of a sudden.

I made this app when the auto brightness could not be disabled on my play.

then I got an update to 2.3.3 where the feature was included, so I don't use it anymore.

but other people with other xperia devices still find it useful.
[Xperia Play Themes and Apps] hatcyl:
I see, that's because the auto brightness is dimming your phone even more than the lowest brightness.

A work around would be using one of those apps that can dim your screen (there is a few)
[Xperia Play Themes and Apps] AndroHero:
I'd stop developing if i was you, this bunch is the most ungrateful lot. And next time there crying out for devs to make an app to fix another bug. Tell them to go F themselves.
[Xperia Play Themes and Apps] pawo99:
Yes.

I have heard rumor that app like Screen Filter only dims screen but LCD backlight still take current from battery. I don't know. Does it worth to use dimming apps?

What's your opinion?
[Xperia Play Themes and Apps] hatcyl:
Well the difference in power usage with dim vs extra dim shouldn't be that much. So if the brightness is bothering you then I would use it.
[Xperia Play Themes and Apps] benoitb85:
It won't work on LCD because Screen Filter doesn't change the backlight power but the colors displayed on the screen.

I guess it works on AMOLED.
[Xperia Play Themes and Apps] ksdav2:
i really need this app, but i can't buy this in my country :mad: there's no choice :confused:
[Xperia Play Themes and Apps] hatcyl:
I pmd you.

[Xperia Play Themes and Apps] spreeni:
Works good on xperia mini (st15i).

Just a suggestion: How about the possibility to enter a brightnes value in 'ALS preferences' wich is used when entering the ALS mode? This would be quite comfortable because you haven't have to set a new brightness value via brightness widget etc. after toggeling ALS.

Anyway, thanks for your work.

[Xperia Play Themes and Apps] White_Pointer:
Just in case anyone's not aware, 2.3.4 provides an option to disable the auto brightness (on the Xperia Play, anyway).
[Xperia Play Themes and Apps] hatcyl:
For Verizon, 2.3.3 Xperia Play can disable auto brightness.
[Xperia Play Themes and Apps] soldiers33:
Can you please make this work for Arc. I hate the auto brightness its so annoying.
[Xperia Play Themes and Apps] hatcyl:
I can try but only if you are willing to help me.

I do not have that phone and since the code is not part of the sdk it will have to be specific to that phone.

Can you help? Let me poke around your phone?
[Xperia Play Themes and Apps] captain67:
Does this app drain any extra battery power? My battery life was a lot better when I had 2.3.3, but after being on 2.3.4 for a while I'm too used to having proper brightness control. I wanna switch back for battery life, but if this app uses power anyway it's a moot point.

Sent from Silent Earth 3
[Xperia Play Themes and Apps] spreeni:
On my Xperia mini there is no option to disable auto brightness in 2.3.4 anymore. This option was shown in 2.3.3 but could not be selected. Maybe XPeria Play is different in this point.

This would be interesting for me, too. I'm not shure if power consumption will rise after using this app. If brightness-changings in Adroid really dimm backlight, power consumption must be equal or lower. But if the display slider only change RGB values, power consumption rises because backlight will shine brighter. I have no idea how Sony Ericsson or Android handles this settings, anyone else?
[Xperia Play Themes and Apps] hatcyl:
No, it should not use any extra battery. The app itself modifies one thing and then it is done.

However, the phone itself will use more battery if the backlight is always at 100% instead of autobrightness.
[Xperia Play Themes and Apps] Magnumutz:
My R800i has the option to disable it, in the "Display" options.

Is this a R800i only "feature" ?
[Xperia Play Themes and Apps] soldiers33:
Why is the OP not reponding? I bought the app just to try it out and it doesnt seem to work, just makes the screen brighter or darker.
[Xperia Play Themes and Apps] hatcyl:
?? I'm here ??

I pmd you, you said you could help me fix the issue but you did not have your phone. You said you would pm me when you got it.

Did I miss something.
[Xperia Play Themes and Apps] soldiers33:
I pm'd you. Just let me know what you need from me.
[Xperia Play Themes and Apps] ThilinaC:
Works good on Neo V,Thanks :)

err isn't this the what app is supposed to do? I mean normally when we disable light sensor screen gets more brightness and that's it,at least this is what happened with my old SE W595i with disable light sensor patch.Anyway if app is supposed to do more than this I'm not entirely sure if its fully working on Neo V or not.

Does Auto-Brightness drain or save battery ? is it better to have it on or off ?
[Xperia Play Themes and Apps] ioo7:
It saves batt when its on but when light hits it and you tilt, it flickers. thats my mine does. In the long run its made to save batt having auto brightness on.

Sent from my little GIZMO
[Xperia Play Themes and Apps] captain67:
Personally, I have it off. The brightness is set to around 20%, which is actually using less power than it was before in a bright room, where the screen would light up by itself.

In a dark room, I'm using more power than before, in a bright room it's less. Of course if you have auto brightness off, and set to max then you'll see a dip in battery life. Personally, I find it straining on the eyes when it's more than 50% (I have very photosensitive retinas)

If that was confusing at all.. Basically I just meant that having it off gives you more consistent usage, and the auto brightness only really helps in certain situations.

Or people could just not be lazy and do things manually....

Rootdim. Set up different profiles, press a button and can set your own brightness.
[Xperia Play Themes and Apps] ioo7:
I used root dim, it doesn't stop the flickering, the only way, to update, black tape over sensor, or just get this gteat app, simple.

Thanks A LOT.

I would have returned my Sony Xperia Mini if it wasn't for this App.

The flickering and generally way too dark display in dark conditions were unbearable.

This App is still needed these days. Would pay for it anytime. :]

Even with my Xperia Mini updated to ICS 4.0.4, there is still no option to disable Auto Brightness.

Go ahead and make a separate pro version with some more features and I'll buy it right away.

As was mentioned before, something visual to indicate wheter or not Auto Brightness is currently on/off would be nice.

Hi,

Sorry if this question gets posted too many times but I am downloaded [12-Sep-201][MAG/cLK][CWM] NDT GINGER V16.0 [CM Nightly 2.3.5][Kernel: Tytung r12] which states A2SD+ is in list of features (and I think this is supposed to use my 1gb ext3 partition as internal memory) but I only have 153mb after installing a few small apps. I know my old rom gave me about 900mb free, and am lost as to how to fix this.

Any help would be great.

Many thanks.

[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] huggs:
You guys could always try flashing A2SD to the ROM from CWM recovery. Just do a forum search for Darktremor A2SD

Use the 2nd to most recent version, the most recent has never worked for me:confused:

If you can't find it, let me know and I'll attach it in a post on this thread.

thanks very much m8 ill give it a whirl

forgot to mention, after you flash it, go into terminal emulator and enter: a2sd reinstall

it should say a bunch of stuff, then reboot. then it'll take a long time to boot up cause it's moving everything to your ext3 partition and creating symlinks
