Android's "Auto Brightness" feature seems useful enough, but on most phones it drains more battery than the function is worth. I don't like useless things using up my battery, so I created the Ultimate Brightness with Voice app for android.
This application is simple but great to have! Simply place the icon on your homescreen. When you tap the icon, a quick slider pops up to adjust brightness.
There is also an option to turn voice on or off. If on, your phone will announce the brightness level. This is a great feature for making your friends jealous of your awesome friendly robot phone. (I keep mine off personally, but I thought it was a fun feature to throw in the mix)
The voice is controlled by your media volume.
**I also love hearing feature requests or suggestions. I'll check the comments here, and you can also send over an email via the link on this page as well.**
