lol i mean when u click on Display on profile and then brightness level it gives u a screen with <500 then >500 then >3000 and so on and next to tht there is a small green line. Currently its next to <500 and the rest are red in color.
Theres your problem. There are some potential fixes in this thread if you read it all. The post before your first post was the last post discussing this
No, the number is pulled fro the Light Sensor. So that number represents how bright the daylight is around the phone (in Lux) which is what we're basing the whole profile around.
When I took that screenshot, the daylight was 61 Lux.
Your problem is that the Light Sensor is not pushing that data to the variable which probably means there is something wrong with your profile. As I said, people have reported 0 values in this thread and there are some of us who have fixed it so have a read through the thread and try the things suggested.
As per this post he says he set his LightValue number manually in the variable tab but the variable tab number is supposed to come automatically am i right? If i am then how can u set it manually?
Also the %LightValue is supposed to be set to LIGHT or %LIGHT?
i changed the value manually to 700 and the screen brightness changed automatically. Will try auto brightness and see if that makes a difference. The screen protector is covering a very minute portion of the light sensor. I am assuming hte light sensor is the one near where samsung is written.
Ok I am outside my house now and opened tasker it is giving me a reading value of 9 going to check it in direct sunlight and see what it shows. I have disabled tasker and turned on auto brightness will check that also and report back
maybe it went up to 3536 at one point then kept on the lower side only its showing 4.0 now. The screen protector i have is barely covering the sensor. Will try and take a pic and post it if i can.
to double check the light sensor i installed a free app called Light Meter which gives me a reading of about 12 lux in my room. The tasker profile gives me 12.0 at the same location. So dont know what the issue could be are the settings in the profile too high?
its showing 12 lux at night with lights on not in the day time and its winter here. Going to try it out with a friend on his s3 and see what reading he gets to compare in the same situation.
ok i did a check and it turns out i had mistaken the light sensor on the phone, the actual light sensor is not covered by the screen protector so that should be an issue at all. I got a ridiculous reading on 27339 today in sunlight at which point the screen had full brightness. So i am not sure wht exactly the issue is. sorry to keep bothering you with this.
