Hi,
According the the literature the light sensor adjusts the backlight according the the ambient light available.
Is it just me but this doesn't seem to be working and yes 'Auto adjust backlight' is checked.
Regards.
I can actively see this working all the time, if you happen to hold your hand over a bit of the screen you'll notice it slightly fade. I'ts not a major difference but it's def there.

On my TD2 it is working, but the change in backlight are not so obvious, you have to pay attention to see it: the change is not instantaneous, it is gradual (over a 0.5s time maybe), and it does not change much (not as much as the powersaving no-activity backlight level, which is much lower).
The best way I have found to check if it work is to be in a moderately lit room, and cover/nucover the light sensor with your finger. You should be able to notice the small change in backlight level as you cover/uncover the sensor....
BTW, anyone knows if it is possible to tune the backlight level/ ambiant light function? I would like to keep the auto-adjust, but lower the backlight level when it is completely dark to the minimal setting (or even lower), similar to the powersaving level I was talking about above.
This very low level is not nice for watching movies or pictures (it skew the color rendering because white is not white anymore, it is yellowish grey), but I find it ideal for ebook reading in the dark (it saes the battery, it is not tiring for the eye, and it is not bothering for the sleeping beauty sharing my bed when I read late ;-) )

When I move around (indoor/outdoor), the screen brightness is very consistant (and colors are brilliant too), I persume the light sensor worked
but TD2 did not respond to my random playing of the sensor.. the finger trick did not work for me, but i don't care

Maybe a stupid question...but maybe you mistake the LED for the light sensor.
The indicator led is on the left of the speaker grid, the light sensor on the right...if you have ticked automatic in the backlight intensity (parameter/more/alimentatation section, backlight subsection), you should definitely see a change if you are under bright light and cover/uncover the light sensor just right of the speaker grid.
BTW, thanks fort the g-light application, it is working nicely!
Could even save battery, although maybe this is mitigated by having one more background process running for polling the light sensor data...
Hey guys,
I just realized both the light sensor in the upper right hand corner AND the camera have an effect on the screen brightness! It seems that the one that reads a higher lux value is the one that's used.
I downloaded "Sensor Dump" and you can watch the values go down after you cover the light sensor. After you cover it, try keeping it covered but pointing the camera to something bright, and the values go back up!
Cool!
My concern is it only seems to detect 5 levels of light. And it's the same in different sensor apps.
The levels are
10 lux
33 lux
333 lux
1400 lux
5316 lux
Same 5 levels here. Same camera/sensor
also this answers my annoyance with switchpro widget (or anything that triggers the LED flash) - when the flash is turned on -> the light sensor doesn't return any data.
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
hi, this is my first post.
I installed androsensor, wanted to do some tests with tasker and light sensor but I have noticed that andro sensor gives me only 2 values, there is no punctual measure but one value for good light (in my case 18.5805 fc) and a value for bad/no light (1.858 fc).
Is it the same for you? So this sensor behave like an on/off, is that right?
Sorry for my poor English and Thanks in advance for any reply
Just wondering if anyone's figured out how to lock the screen luminosity at maximum (ie the luminosity it switches to when exposed to sunlight or anything like it).
Since it switches to it when the lux sensor recognizes a certain value, I guess locking the sensor value above it could work, besides controlling the brightness value independently.
