Can anyone tell me how to take screen shots in JB... When in ICS, i could take screen shots by pressing home + volume low key but it's not working now.

Hello Guys!!

Have anybody missed AUTO BRIGHTNESS feature in L9 because lack of Ambient Light Sensor

If yes, the don't worry. I have an easy solution for Auto Brightness, Yes you can use Auto Brightness on LG Optimus L9:victory:

NO ROOT REQUIRED

Download and install These two app from following links:-

Lux Auto Brightness

Tasker

After Installing these apps follow these steps:-

Lux Auto Brightness:-


* Go to Lux settings
* Tap on Sample Collection
* Tap on Select light reading source
* Select Camera
* Then get back to main settings menu
* Tap on Mopdify linked samples
* Tap on Luma TAB
* Tap on ADD, set brightness (yello bar) to 4% Luma value to 1 and press ADD
* Add 3 more links with these values= 35%-70|100%-80|50%-120|
* Exit Lux


Tasker:


* Open Tasker, tap on Plus Gign(+) on main screen
* Tap on Event
* Select Display in Event Category
* Select Display On in Display Event
* A blank screen will appear, do nothing just press BACK Button
* TAP on New Task +
* Enter Name to task or just tap on tick
* A blank screen will Appear, tap on Plus Sign (+)
* Select Plugin from action category
* Select Lux Plug-in
* Tap on Edit Button
* Scroll Down and Tick in front of Refresh Backlight brightness? Under Force
* Press Done, then press back and back again
* Exit Tasker



Thats all work to do, now your dvice have Auto Brightness feature:silly:

To test, just press power button and lock the screen and then cover front camera with finger and press power button again, screen will Light up wait 1-2 seconds, Screen brightness will reduce, remove finger, lock unlock screen and brightness will resume to normal.

I have tested this for full day on my L9 and got no any battery drainage.
You can modify Linked Samples Values to your comfort zone for batter sample values you can also search other XDA forums.

Guys try it and let me know how you feel 
if you got any issue please post, I'll try to solve it (Coz m also new to TASKER & LUX so may be it will take little bit time to Solve:fingers-crossed

EDIT: You can uncheck "Presistent notification" in general settings of Lux Auto Brightness, If you think it is draining your phone's battery. This will also disable the annoying Lux icon from notification.

All thanks to gdjindal at xda forums :beer:
 
Rakeshmarar, did your battery discharge problem got sorted? I updated mine too but battery drainage in standby is huge. Googled around and it is supposed to correct itself over a few charging cyclds. Did that happen with you?
Btw, thanks for the auto brightness tip :-D

Man, am considering reverting back to ics if this battery drainage doesn't fix itself with time.
Should I do a backup, hard reset and restore or flash the device?

Is it possible to rollback back to ICS. Man JB is real battery killer. It giving me only 12 hours of backup.

I saw a post after JB update LG unlocked the bootloader for L9, is it true? If yes then why still rooting the device is tough. Kill yourself LG :-x

@Gmg9: Get Sony Xperia L

Also no one here on TD seems to have rooted their L9...So cant really take a risk of rooting it now...Will wait for a few months atleast and try rooting it lest a smipler foolproof method comes through !

What i think that's draining our battery is Google now.. I've turned it off to see if it would help the problem and it did!
But that's just me , you guys should try disabling it and see it for yourselves.
If you don't know how just tap the google search widget and then press menu > settings > Google now OFF.
I hope I helped!

This helped a bit....source : xda

What's so special with the battery life buddy?

Problem with L9
- You can't root so most of the apps will not work that need root privilege like greenify that increase the battery life.
-Still you can't move apps to ext. sd card. From setting> storage you can only move to the phone SD card.
- Locked bootloader so most of the good dev just ignore this device.
- If you can't root, flash and modify then what's the use of android. :-x
-I will sell the device and will get Sony Xperia SP or Nexus 4
