sometimes the screen is dimmed way down, not readable at all, it sometimes dims the screen to a bare minimum.
funny thing is this happens quite often, but it is not consistent. happens both indoors and in sunlight... any idea?
Check your Power Saving setting. If it is enabled, your screan will stay on the dimmest setting.

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

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
Does anybody noticed an issue with Auto Brightness?
Sometimes when i turn the screen on the brightness is automatically set to maximum and it doesn't scale down even if i'm in a dark room.

Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Sometimes my screen is set to max as soon as I turn it on but it returns to normal right after.
the issue i mentioned appears expecially after rebooting. the brightness goes at the maximum level and does not auto adjust.
Yeah, I have noticed a number of strange behaviors on 2.3.3. In fact, I have not yet seen it work properly auto-brightness mode on, It does one of the following:
-Brightness goes to low and stays there until I turn off auto
-Brightness goes to 100% and stays there until I turn off auto
-Brightness flips back and forth between low and 100% about every 20 seconds (instantly, not gradually).
None of the above seem to have anything to do with what the ambient light level is, but I could be wrong about that.
I also noticed that (Android app) Tasker doesn't seem to be able to control the brightness anymore.

The last time i tried Auto Brightness was when i first bought my N1 and it didn't work at all. Been set at a level i like ever since and now i have no compunction to try Auto again.
The screen will dim and brighten randomly while i walking or using the phone. Is this an bug or its it my phone sensor spoil? I am using official firmware V10D
the same thing is happening on my phone. help please is very frustrating .
The same thing happens to me and actually it is very frustrating.

I thought that was the Idea of Auto brightness
The screen brighness changes depending on the Ambient light level in your surroundings
You could try cleaning the screen around the top left corner where the Light sensor is and see if that makes any difference
Try to hold over the sensor for >10 sec and see if it still fluctuates. If not, the sensor is fine and the light hitting the sensor is changing, as waynefox writes.
It is also possible to turn off the auto light for the display
Go to settings-->display-->brightness, and un-tick the automatic brightness
Got the new Home Hub. Already have two issues. I'm curious if others have found a solution:
1. The screen get TOO dark at night. Even though I have the screen timout setting turned off, and the Auto-Brightness Offset setting to max brightness, the screen still shuts (almost) completely off in a dark room. At night, when your eyes have adjusted to the dark, you can still only BARELY see the white numbers of the clock against the black background. People were worried that it wouldn't get dark enough for nightstand use, but this is ridiculous. Any way to brighten that up a bit? By the way, this happens even if I turn ambient brightness off.
2. The main purpose of this device will be as a bedside alarm clock (replacing my aging Nexus 7). I've figured out how to set alarms, but not how to change the alarm sound. I do not like the default tune it plays. Any way to change that? I know I can have it play music, but I do actually prefer an alarm sound -- just not the default one.
Anybody have similar issues? Any other issues that I haven't noticed yet?
Yes. Exact same experience. I'm honestly pretty confused by the settings and the language of which mode is what. The offset doesn't seem to do anything at all for me.
I haven't had that experience with screen brightness. When I turn off the Adaptive feature, the brightness doesn't seem to adapt.
I can confirm that you cannot currently change the alarm sound, though I think I saw that option is coming this month or next.
Go into the Display settings for your Home Hub and set the minimum brightness from dim to bright. This makes the numbers much easier to read at night when in dark mode.
Hello,
Did any of you notice the phone auto switching the screen brightness when using it even though you don't move an inch and the room light is the same? For me it seems that sometimes it boosts / dims the display for a few seconds just to come back to the value it was before ... and this is annoying
Thanks!
The light sensor of this phone is on the upper left (near the left side of the earpiece).
If you are using a screen protector that may be covering that area, then you might have some issues with auto brightness.
