I noticed that it was working though I didn't find the open under the settings, but after I changed the brightness settings, seems like it doesn't anymore!!
Is SE hidden "Auto" under the carpet?
Dont be silly, the setting is right there... oh... actually, where has it gone?
Hmmm... cant find it in settings, sure it was there before. Try widgetsoid, that has an auto brightness toggle which works fine.

Are you guys are serious or just try to be
Ever since X10 was upgraded to 2.1, they took away the "auto brightness" from it. It used to be there when it was 1.6. Now I don't find that option in Arc as well, which is kind of weired. If you guys found it ... then I don't have any words to say!!

not being sarcastic mate..
when i got the arc I really remember seeing the option and testing it out...
since I never use it I really havent gone to the display settings (just use a widget to control brightness)..
after I read this post I went to chk it and it wasnt there...funny!

Honestly, I'm not trying to be funny here, but my Arc is only couple of days old and since I bought I didn't find this option at all. This particularly bothers me when I go out the brightness is too dark to read and I've to adjust it and then I come inside the shade, it's too dark
Honestly i swear there was one there - there was a checkbox on the slider popup. There was a software update about a week after i got mine, maybe they removed it in that.
I also remember reading something about it *always* being on regardless, and all the slider does in settings is set a general level it will change around, i.e. a 'gain' setting. Maybe that's what's changed in the update, and why they removed the checkbox. However, that doesnt explain why it doesnt seem to be working for you.
Regardless, auto-brightness still works on mine if i enable it via widgetsoid (or any other extended controls widget will probably do it). I can put my thumb over the sensor and the screen will darken etc.
it's always on apparently. i've tested it by passing the light sensor part of the phone over a ray of light coming from the window and you can see the brightness change. the light sensor refreshes every 3-5 secs or so.

I tested with the application you have recommended and setting it to auto seems like doing the job but it wasn't the case with some other widgets I tried. I don't quite understand why SE has to remove that check box. They did it for X10 when they upgraded from v1.6 to v2.1 and they seems like done it for Arc as well with smaller firmware update. But thanks anyway the application.
By-the-way are you using the same firmware version as mine or is it different?

I tried all methods from this thread and my auto brightness was not working until I put Power control Wideget (the one originally installed with system). One settings of its most right button activated auto brightness. Now it is nice to have it working.

I'm not sure what happened there, it works for me with widgetsoid without any issues! But I did face issues with few other widgets like Switchpro widgets or Extended Controls.
I don't think the Xperia Arc has auto brightness setting for the display. I looked at the power control widget, and the brightness control button does not have the 'A' state.

Have you tried the widget suggested? It has that "A" option you mentioned.
At the left side of the speaker for phoning theres this 5mm dot like thing. When I put my thumb on it, the brightness changes drastically. It probably thinks that Im in a dark room. When I release my thumb it goes back to normal. I notice this a lot since I put my left thumb there while watching movies.
Sooo ... auto brightness worked for me out of the box.
(I love the screen in direct sunlight ! On my mums milestone (droid) you can basically see nothing !)

Sorry, but you didn't know that there is this sensor for light?
Bought mine a month ago and one of the first things i did was adjusting display brightness. There was no auto brightness option and still isn't, 100% sure (.181). But it's working fine so i have no problem with it.

I was wondering if there is any way to get the Trackball Light notifications and the Trackball wake mod working in froyo. I know the source hasnt been released but maybe it is still possible... maybe
Patience my young grasshopper
Paul from Modaco says that he'll get right on it as soon as the source is released. He himself wants it quite badly (follow him on his Twitter if you want to know ASAP when it's released).

Then how do you enable them? We're you able to enable them? They don't work on my phone. Its back to the old white pulse every 5 seconds for everything.
hmm i have "Light" checked in google voice,ebuddy, and Gmail doesnt have an option in their app but i have "Pulse notification lights" enabled in the default menu.
Im guessing its up the app developer to select the color notification light.
Yep, really missing trackball wake.
As for the color notifications, they just seem to work here out of the box...
I dont think you need to open a new thread for this topic. Everyone waiting for it, cant you learn how to wait? Dont just ask for something, learn how to understand something. At least understand the situation, source is not release yet. So be patient!
DL screenmode from the app market and set it to screen lock off. Trackball wake up should work. Just found out about this yesterday lol

I think trackball is much more useful. I got so used to it by now that its really annoying to use the unlock button at the top. Also its annoying that the Email light and the SMS light are both white....
Sitting by for further development i guess haha
Since HandcentSMS & ChompSMS no longer work - I've reverted back to 'SMS Popup' and the stock messaging app.
SMS Popup has 'LED colour' in the notification settings - so you can set to red, just like CM...

Umm ...
I bought LockBot Pro for Froyo for switching on with trackball, and it works great
(as long as you install or move it to internal memory)
The ChompSMS beta works great on Froyo too, and it makes the LED flash Green for me.

why? phone will sleep in 1 min anyway.. with or without screenlock..
never really understood who needs that locking feature.. doesnt the screen only respond to the fingers?
im using app called No lock. it removes that sliding locking AND enables trackballwake on froyo.. at least worked for me..

Handcent already releeased 3.0 that works with froyo. Been using it with no problems for a day now.
Most lock screen apps will allow trackball wake. Lock Bot works as well
There is an app on the market called no lock that let's you wake up your phone with trackball.
Hancent and ChompSMS both work now, and allow custom colors for your trackball alerts.
Google HAS enabeld the color trackball notif for the nexus one. See link below for use:
developer.android.com/intl/fr/reference/android/app/Notification. html
Now anny app can use those notifications, no need to be root. You can now just start having some fun!!!
I've noticed some of my trackballs notifications are different colors now but has anyone found a way to speed up the blinking?
You get the old Market first time you launch it.
The orange flares at scroll limits are nice.
The "screen off" animation is awesome.
The download manager in the browser is nice.
You can now natively play .wav files in Gmail!!!!!!
Text selection is better.
If any of your notifications are set to black text, they will be invisible. (I'm looking at you Weatherbug)
The dialer is just too black. You can't see the edges of the buttons, or lack of buttons I guess.
Everything just seems more squared off and cleaner, like dialog boxes and such.
I use Swiftkey, so can't comment on the new Android Keyboard.
Sometimes the WiFi and signal strength indicators go grey instead of their usual green.
Overall UI seems snappier. I use Launcher Pro.
Weird scrolling issues in Tweetdeck seem to be gone for now.
Curious to find out if battery life will improve with GRI40.
I'm liking everything so far, everything's very fast and responsive

I think that the gray'ed out wifi and BT just means that they're enabled, but there's no active connection at the moment.
Anyone else using launcherpro notice that the drawer open animation without a live wallpaper or 3D drawer isn't buttery smooth anymore?
Also the browser stutters a lot when moving around XDA for me..everything else so far is good though

Nope... all it means is what others have said... you're not connected to Google's servers. You can still surf the web or use non-Google apps, but try opening Gtalk for example.

I don't have a problem per se, but now when I dial it won't make the keyboard sounds anymore (even though the keyboard sound flag is set, under 'Settings' -> 'Sound').
Edited:
WTF?!?! Telephone keys sounds are classified as "Media" sound?!?! My media sound was 0, even though other sounds are max, and that's why I couldn't hear it.
Are all of you guys here running the latest version of the market?
I'm not, even posted about it here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=968672 so I'm a bit concerned.
Updated successfully no problem. Switchpro widget couldn't toggle BT, GPS, and flashlight. Amazon MP3 app is still there...
Anyone else notice that the track ball light doesn't work and the orange flashes in the app drawer only show up when using launcher pro.
Big fan of the new keyboard. Have been using swiftkey, but switched on a lark and it is great.
Everything else is like froyo but better.
All my notifications were messed up though, 3 minute fix for that though.
Yeah my track ball doesn't light up anymore either. Guessing there will be an update for this soon.
The back button has problem (sometimes ..). I press the Back, I can feel the vibration, but there is no action. Retry one or 2 times OK.
This happens occasionally, and not limited to particular apps, even when Back from the app drawer.
Hi... sorry for my bad english
I've just bought GS4 since yesterday and I found an odd problem...
When I enable the air gestures for example air jump, air move etc. none of them works.
but when I try the training section they work correctly...
even It's icon doesn't appear on the status bar, but it appears when Im trying the tutorial... and It just disappears when i go back to the menu..
And I have not installed any rom or update yet...
any Idea?

I found that when u enable it, it just works when on certain situations... for example when u are viewing pics u can go to next pic with air gesture or when u have a call u can answer it... but when there's no use for air gesture for example when u are in menu it's automatically disabled...

I'm in the same boat. Air View works maybe 10% of the time across all apps that support it. The odd thing is that I took my new S4 into an AT&T store to see if they could figure it out. They checked all the settings, which were correct. They were stumped also. We could get it to work rarely, just enough to frustrate you. There were two guys trying to figure it out. They finally just gave me a new phone. We set it up for my account etc., loaded everything from the cloud backup, and what the hell the new one does the exact same thing. We just sat there and looked at it in disbelief. We must have played with both phones for an hour and a half and made no progress. I even started deleted various apps (I don't have a lot), but nothing. I'm totally stumped.
did you guys figure out anything, because my sgs4 gestures do not work at all, none of them, and they are ALL switched on in settings...
Very odd...
I used to have problem with air gesture .but noe its working good .
Check that
menu-my device-accesibility-put magnification gestion to off
AHA about Gestures not working!
For some reason, Samsung has hidden toggles for the gesture features WITHIN the gesture features... what I mean is if you toggle ON the gesture called "air gesture", NOTHING WILL HAPPEN unless you then tap to the LEFT of the toggle switch, and go INTO the Air Gesture sub-menu. Once you are in there, there are 5 OTHER toggles which must also be on if you want to use all the air gesture features.... WEIRD that Samsung did this without saying "Tap Here to select Air Gesture features" or something...
Mark.

FWIW, I FOUGHT WITH THIS FOR A WEEK AND GOT NO WHERE. THE TASKER PROFILE LISTED IN THE REDDIT THREAD BELOW WORKS GREAT ON MY ROOTED PHONE. ALSO, LIGHTFLOW WORKED ON MY ROOTED PHONE. SO I AM JUST GOING TO ASSUME THIS REQUIRES ROOT
So, i have been searching and reading and asking around and I STILL cannot get the power button LED to light up with notifications.
I have lightflow installed
I have the notification and accessability settings turned on for the app
I have back button led 1 and 2 turned on
I have them turned to "always" on for notifications (I dont expect it to pulse)
I have the brightness set at 255 (But i have tried all other numbers in between)
I am NOT rooted
I am on stock 4.4.2
all other LED notifications seem to be working just fine and are the colors/speeds I set them to.
anyone able to get it working? not sure what else I can try to get it working.
if you have it working on stock rooted 4.4.2 let me know what options you have checked and unchecked in the "settings" page.
guess I'm the only one with this problem eh? lol
I didn't think it did light up. Only time mine does is when unlocking the screen.

Haha, on AOSP ROMs I used tasker to run a script that changed the values in the file that controlled the 2 back LEDs to 255 when I got a notification. Then it cleared the file, and so on until I turned the screen on.
I don't remember it exactly, and I'm pretty sure it would need root.

Oh, please link me the reddit profile. It is probably better than mine. Haha.

I've updated AOD (Always On Display) via Galaxy Apps to version 1.4.02, and since then, most of the time, AOD is at full brightness, even when my device in my pocket, it takes long for the screen to turn off like it should.
I'm not sure if this specific version is buggy or it is something else, but when i'm using my phone, brightness is OK.
Anyone who updated it too can confirm its related to the AOD update?
I'm just afraid of screen burns and battery drain.
I just set a note pad on the top part of my screen to block the sensor and mine dims in 1 minute by my count and goes completely blank a few seconds after that. Try this with yours.

how can i fix it? i'm on new firmware (1.4.02)
mine was different case....when it's on AOD the automatic bright sensor doesn't work.when it's active on dark room AOD was dark & when it's active on bright room AOD was always bright.how can i fix this issue?
And one more thing the new update changelog show now its support clear view case.but it's not working.when i close the cover it doesn't show the picture which i selected on AOD setting.its show only the time like before the update.
