Do you find the Omnia display too bright?

[Guest Clark_Kent]

Though the light sensor automatically adjusting screen brightness is brilliant, but I always found the default values too bright for me (and I've read other people say the same thing).

I just wanted a hack/mod/anything to make it around 50% of its default values - never found a thing ;)

.. but only untill today! ;)

Today I simply took a black permanent marker and made a small round mark on the top of the sensor! I already have a screen protector and the mark can be removed easily with alcohol. No damage done and problem solved. The Brightness setting's display detects only around half the light it detected earlier. :)

Here's to longer battery life!!! :P

Because it's to dark in the sun, and to bright in the dark by then :)

Gibeon is right, if I set it manually then what's the point of having the sensor there?

I like it brightening up the display outside, its just that its too bright inside that it uses up unnecessary battery there and hard to look at during the night.

Omniamax, here's one:
