ScreenDimmer 1.45 – support for iOS 4.0
- Ever since I got my Apple Watch, there has always been an issue with the screen brightness. I should clarify this is a bad user experience with good intention. The brightness on my watch’s screen works fine when it’s outside with a lot of sunlight. But when I return indoor, the screen readjust itself, and the brightness would dim down.
- I loved this tweak but it won't work on ios9. It's perfect if you don't want your screen to lock out. Is there anything out there like it?
ScreenDimmer has been updated and does now support the iOS 4.0 :). Also improvements have been mate to offer a great experience with backgrounding (both native and Backgrounder).
if you don’t know about ScreenDimmer:
ScreenDimmer can help you to save battery life by automatically dimming your device’s screen after a pre-defined time; or if you wish by turning the backlight off.

Most users suffer unnecessary battery drain while having their iPhone not on standby. Setting auto-lock to a short time makes it better, but is an inconvenience most of the time due to permanent locking and unlocking while waiting for something.

ScreenDimmer is the solution for this problem: Save battery life by reducing the backlight to a minimum if the device hasn’t been used for a pre-defined time and reduce the waste of the most energy consuming component, the backlight, of the iPhone or iPod.

iPod touch 2g IOS4.0 public jb redsnow - iTouchable Says: Hi!!Screendimmer 1.45-2 is crashing my SpringBoard!! Everything was find before I updated, so I think the last version has problems with my iPod model or firmware version.I’m using an iPod Touch 2G with iPhone OS 3.1.2.I’m absolutly sure that ScreenDimmer is the source of my problems, because I restored and jailbreaked again several times (using each time one of this methods: Redsnow 0.9.4, Spirit, Blackra1n and Jailbreakme 2.0) and installed ONLY ScreenDimmer 1.45-2 via Cydia. The result was always the same: SpringBoard crashes, iTunes can’t sync properly and SpringBoard icons dissapeared.Of course, I purchased the package.Sorry for my very very bad english, I hope you update Screendimmer soon.Thanks!!

After my visit with the Genius Bar, I’ve found out the cause and a partial solution.

Does the Apple Watch Have Auto Brightness?
Of course. You might not be able to find the setting for it, but the Apple Watch does have an ambient light sensor inside it. This allows the watch screen to adjust its brightness automatically based on the lighting it surrounded in.
Adjusting your screen brightness
Before we do anything, let’s make sure that you’ve maxed the brightness of your Apple Watch. To do so:
- From your iPhone, open the Watch app
- Go to My Watch > Brightness & Text Size
- Use the slider to adjust it according to your needs
You can also config this from the Settings app on the watch.
Still not working?
If you have already done so and the Apple Watch screen still doesn’t seem dazzling especially in the dark environment, there is a little trick to fix this issue.
As soon as your Apple Watch screen starts to dim down:
- Take out your iPhone
- Open Control Center and enable Flashlight
- Point the light directly at your watch screen
This will get the watch to its full brightness setting in a dark room or places with lack of light.
The point of having auto brightness or should I say ambient light sensor on your Apple Watch is to preserve battery. We all know there is still room for improvement when it comes to longer usage. If you want some tips on how to save the battery life of your watch, check this guide.
