I just got my S730 today and comparing it to my S710, i notice the screen isn't as bright as before. I know there are no options to change the brightness in smartphones, and i was hoping that the models are similar enough to at least share the same brightness. the S710 is noticeably brighter.
I would say "conversely". Comparing to my previous Qtek 8310, S730 seems very bright on full backlight, but too dim on backlight off
HTC's website says the HD7 has an "Ambient light sensor".
When I have the Brightness settings on "Automatically adjust", I do not see any changes to the screen brightness. Darkness and sunlight have no effect. Curious to know if others are having the same problem or if my phone is faulty.
Thanks
If I set mine to Automatically Adjust on either low/medium or high settings it does adjust according to ambient lighting.
Have tested by holding up to a light bulb on all 3 settings and have noticed the changes.
Thanks for your reply.
A bit more experimenting with a LED torch and it does seem to be working. The curve is not as I would like though. I would prefer the screen darker in darkness and brighter in the light much like my old iPhone. I was in full sun today and the screen still wasn’t full brightness. So with it on High and Auto off, the screen was brighter than when on High and Auto on. So Auto was bringing my brightness down to what seemed to be about medium levels making the screen a bit of a pain to see. I want full brightness in sunlight please. I am sure others will prefer this default setting though, especially those concerned about battery life. Hopefully a future software tweak will allow sensitivity and brightness curve adjustments. Until then, I will stick with the "high" setting and Auto off.
Thanks again.
Have same problem.. Automatic light have no effect on my HTC HD7 (unbranded, with and without nodo).
I totally agree, with me its more of a problem in the darkness. It is way too high when it is completely dark and its more obvious when I switch it from auto to "low" as the screen does become much darker.
Its something with either HTC or windows as my old touch pro 2 had the same problem, in complete darkness the screen would never go lower than 30%...
The light sensor on my hd7 never seems to work..they should implement the way it is on the iphone
Sent from my HD7 using XDA Windows Phone 7 App
Is anybody know is there light sensor available physical on HD7?
Heared on HD2 it work's fine. If it software issue then MS mast fix it.
yea my phones ambient light sensor doesnt work either i see no changes with the auto setting on.
Auto-Brightness works fine over over here - o2 debranded with NoDo update.
When i take the phone out of my pocket/case in sunlight, i notice about 2 - 3 seconds after I unlock it, it gets noticeably brighter and when comparing to "high" brightness without auto it's exactly the saem. Agreed though i would like it to be dimmer in complete darkness (in bed, for example).
I am curious if there is a registry entry that I can change to help with the highest and lowest settings. If I turn on auto it does adjust it slightly when I am inside, but when I am in the sunlight I can hardly see anything. If there is no light also it is still what looks like a medium setting making it very bright. I hope we can figure this out, it isn't a big deal but still BTW I am on TMOUS with NODO
Hi all!
I know this isnt that big a deal, but the capacitive backlights look weak and dim.
Screen brightness setting doesnt increase these lights at all.
Im use to the really bright "white" lights from my older Galaxy I
Is there a way to adjust these to be brighter? Thanks!!
anyone have the same problem?
Mine are not super bright, but they are not too dim either. I would prefer to have them darker anyway due to how bright the ones on my Galaxy S 4g were at night.
Mine are the same way.. Very dim compared to my Skyrocket I had. My home button is actually a little dimmer than the other 3. It bothers me a little bit. Not sure if I should take it back for this. Other than that its flawless..Just got it today.. from AT&T corporate store in Daytona. But I think it was the only White one in stock..

Hey everyone,
I love this phone but the constant slight changes in the backlight depending on how much Black/White there is on the display really annoys me.
It's not the adaptive brightness, but it looks like the device constantly makes very slight changes in backlight to probably save power. This is really noticeable when you have a white page with lots of text and you're scrolling through.
Any ideas?
Hey. I fixed the issue with my new 8gb/256gb Redmi Note 10 Pro from the previous thread, but now I noticed something else. Dark grey areas get tinted rather noticeably at low brightness, but also for some reason at a couple of additional brightness points along the brightness slider; it is more noticeable if 120hz is enabled, and at minimum if Standard color scheme and 60hz are used. Also, it seems the brightness dips about two thirds up the brightness slider, so the screen seems to flicker in brightness when manually adjusting across that brightness point; it's currently night here and I haven't checked if it also noticeably happens during auto brightness at daylight.
So regarding the tinting – I found other people mentioned it, some claiming it is "normal for AMOLED screens", but some RN 10 Pro users then said their screens don't do that and actually the AMOLED screen on my older 9T didn't seem to have this issue.
Regarding the "jumping brightness" – I'm not sure I've seen references to this, but either way it also seems a bit like a hardware issue with how the screen handles different currents.
What do you think? Does it sound like I should ask to replace the unit? I'll also mention I saw Netflix very occasionally stutters, although that would more likely be related to software optimization.
