Hi guys just want to ask if this is normal? cause whenever my X10's battery reaches 10% or below(blinking red LED) the screen automatically changes it's brightness, can i turn this feature off(if it IS normal)? cause i can't use my phone properly especially during daytime when the screen's brightness is sow low...
yep, happens me too.. when you have normal power, go to display settings and set brightness to 80 or 90% then whenever the screen dims just go to that setting again and uncheck automatic brightness.

So i still have to go to the settings and set it the brightness for the screen to be brighter?...cause it's such a hassle to do that every time my screen turns off...
ya i think so, i couldnt work out a way to keep it bright. got to admit it is relly annoying..

Yeah...hopefully someone could share us some light...
This is not being caused by the auto-brightness. I turned auto-brightness.off weeks ago, and still have the screen fun at 10% battery or less. I think it has more to do with power conservation.

I've had my Incredible for a days now. I'm also new to Android. Can anyone tell me the logic with the front panel lights? I would like to have them on more often, including in low light situations. Is there a way to enable this? Thanks.
you mean the home menu etc buttons? aren't those always on as long as the screen is?
Those lights time out .

On mine they sometimes are on and sometimes never come on. Since I got home they have been on constantly. I was in a coffee shop last several hours and they never came on. Just tried turning room lights off to bright but no change. makes no sense.
They should come on automatically when the lighting darkens to a certain point.

Precisely. Pitch black room as I type and the lights haven't gone off since the screen has been on.

You can simulate this by putting your thumb over the sensor. There are two circles that can be seen on the left hand side of the Verizon logo at the top of the phone. Cover them with your thumb and it will turn them on.

Is there a way to turn these off? They're annoyingly bright in dark rooms.

You want to turn them completely off? Doesn't it turn off when the phone goes to sleep?
Yeah I want to be able to turn them off at will. I like using an ereader and at night I turn the screen brightness way down but the leds from the front panel lights are too bright to read in the dark comfortably.

I'm with you on this one - would love to disable the lights when in a reading program ....
Maybe change the autobrightness settings off auto.
Autobrightness doesn't affect the front panel leds.

I realize now they are activated by low ambient light. The label is set too low for my liking though. Would be nice if we could control this setting.
So my original brightness setting was automatic and i was using it at bed one night. Decided it was too bright and brought the slider down to the minimum. The next day, I forgot all about it and used it as per normal. The brightness didnt even affect me. Before the streak, i was on the iphone 4 and when the brightness was low, its obvious.
I think the brightness could go even less before it becomes unreadable.

I made a post about this very thing not to long ago. Auto and lowest setting suck when in a pitch black room.

I agree the screen brightness is not dim enough at the lowest setting. Imagine the addition batterylife that would be saved if the streak could dim the screen even further . Maybe its a simple fix with next rom update, dell is aware of it.

If your Streak is rooted there's an app on the market called AdjBrightness that will do what you need. I think the Streak on it's own will only go to 30%, AdjBrightness lets you take it down to 5%.
My screen flicker when I reach less than 10% with adj screen brightness. Am I the only one ?

If you click on the clock icon in the menu to bring up the clock, on that main page there is an icon on the top right, looks like a sun icon half colored in. Click on that and the brightness goes way down, so i know it can be set lower. I think its a sleep mode or something

Wow, weird. Now, with that app installed, my extended control widget back light button controls the button backlights. Weird ****

I noticed this as well, also I don't think the ambient light sensor is sensitive enough or not working at all because when I set mine to auto it doesn't adjust at all.
If your not rooted, check out the app screen filter.

hmmm, this app doesnt lower the backlight levels, but rather applys a darker tint/filter. kinda defeats the idea of saving batterylife.

Well the idea for me isn't saving battery, it not getting blinded in the dark room, such as in the middle of the night when I get a text and open the WHITE screen to read it

Well the display isn't as bright so in fact it does save battery...
And like the previous person, I don't use it to save battery but for when I'm using the device in a very dark area like before I go to sleep and I want to use the device.

I have the lowest setting for the screen brightness but i noticed that it never stays on the lowest setting and seems to go a little brighter... prolly why my battery has been dying quicker this week... any explanation?

Who know's. Maybe it's the lighting when you are walking between rooms or going from indoor to outdoors that has you thinking otherwise.
Personally, I use Brightness Level (CurveFish) from the Market. It's one of my favorite widgets simply because I can toggle on the fly. I have never noticed my screen brightness increasing when using it.
I'm rooted running stock with no mods flashed and I'm not sure why but sometime over the past few days my brightness adjuster has disappeared from my notifications. I enjoyed having it there and if it's just a setting I've hit that's be awesome. Otherwise I might just flash a rom to fix it.

You can see if it is turned on.
Click on settings
My Device
Display
Notification Panel
Then click Brightness Adjustment
If it unchecked that is why you don't see it. Unfortunately I have no clue why it turns off if you are not doing it.

Thanks lol. I looked for a setting but evidently I didn't try hard enough.
No problem, Samsung had to move all the settings around in 4.2, making it harder for everyone

It disapears when your battery hits 5%
Comes back when you are at 6% or higher

please help *my brightness adjuster has disappeared,
I have it enabled in the settings
Yeah mine has disappeared too, this is the second time I reset my phone once and it came back now it has happened again. No one seems to know why...
Night Mode
If you have the app Night Mode. Turn it on (start) then turn it off (stop). The slider should appear again, as long as you have it checked in the settings.
Guys im looking for some help, everytime my phone goes from a well light room or a dark room my screen gets brighter or gets dim is there away to turn this off so that it stays at brightness at all times.

I'm not sure exactly what you mean. If you have auto brightness unchecked your screen will won't automatically change based on your surrounding illumination. If you do check it-it should brighten when in direct light and dim in the dark. So are you're saying it isn't changing brightness based on surrounding light correctly (when checked) or you're expecting it to change brightness not checked?

If you have the screen mode to adaptive display , that might be the cause of it. Go to settings/display/screen mode.
