light sensor problem

i have a problem with light sensor. sipmply is not working.. when i turn it on the screen goes to lowest settings.
I installed the "water level" program an i see that there is always at 926 lumens. any idea whats wrong?
i try hard reset but the problem persists.

What I did for it to actually start working was I put the "On battery power" all the way to power save, and then selected "auto adjust backlight.
I might look stupid here, but my screen goes dimmer in a pitch black room, and brighter when there is a lot of light. Is this how it works?

That's right - if the environment is darker you don't need that much backlight for the screen to be readable. The more light is shining at the display the brighter it has to be in order for you to see anything. It's really more of a power saving feature...

for the record:
i return my device as DOA and now i got a new one that is working fine .

Diamond 2 notification leds

Hi
I just received mine today, I was so consumed by messing around with settings and all programs that I just found that only one led is working on my phone - orange one during charging. Do you have the same? No notification about wifi/bluetooth/whatever during normal usage and it seams to me this model has 2 leds around front speaker. Do I have damaged phone, is it default behaviour or maybe I need to turn somehow those notifications??

There is only one on the D2. It's on the left. The right side is a light sensor to automatically adjust the screen brightness.
For notifications to show (flash green), go to settings/sounds and notifications and tick 'flash light' under email, mms, etc.

Thank you WMguy you saved my day

I experienced the same panic till i read the manual! But I really miss the "in service" flashing green light. It's useful as a quick check that the phone's in range and WM hasn't frozen and switched off as my last phone sometimes did.
I've already searched unsuccessfully, but if anyone knows a simple app to turn the one LED into a "in service" light I'd be grateful.

[Q] New screen issue (floating grey point)

I have noticed another HORRIBLE crap with my screen - I can see how white|gray color suddenly changes a bit to green.... and back again to gray|white. Seems like a controller keeps changing white balance or gray point cyclically. It is mostly seen when you pull down notification panel and look at it for a minute. The pattern of tint change from green to gray goes like for a 5 seconds each 5-10 seconds. And it is noticeable. Especially when you read the web page that is evenly lit with the light color. It distracts a lot from reading... Like your eyes suddenly find an obstacle and jump over it and all because of slight change in gray point tint.
Does anybody see the same gray|white point floating?

Settings -> Display -> Auto adjust screen power
Turn that off and you will be fine ...

I would be happy if it were so simple... I tried everything before posting here (auto adjust, auto brightness, different levels of brightness) - the problem persists.

[Q] problem with brightness

Hello! I have strange problems with backlight
1) back light is turned off -- i can't see anything on the screen with the day light. Changing the brightness in Settings/Display don't help.
2) but, after power off+power on, backlight is OK for 10 seconds, and turns off right after that.
I find the guy with the same problem,but on droid 2 -- youtube.com/watch?v=RxHqN_lycG8
Btw, in "AP Fastboot" mode ("M" key+PowerOn), backlight is don't turn of.
I try some ROMs, they all don't work for me. Only "kexec CM10" ROM have one difference: if I turn the phone off and on, the backlight is turning on for the 1/2 of second, I can see the lock screen, and after that it is turned off...
What can it be? How can I fix it? Any ideas will be very appreciated! I very like my Droid3,and want it back

You'll have to try to turn the brightness up manually. It may be a broken light sensor. If you get in the right light you might be able to see the background and be able to turn it up.

In the dark room, I can see everything on the screen. Unfortunately, brightness in Settings/display does not affect the backlight on my device.
I set the brightness to the maximum, but it still too dark

Is it possible that the problem is in flexible cable?
