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
My MI3's screen's brightness increases itself without being set to automatic brightness whenever it is exposed to any light, whether its sunlight, tubelight or even in daytime... plz help me solve this issue, also the area of light sensor turns too hot... plz help me guys, i would be very thankful!!

Hi guys, I have the following issue:
Even with Adaptive brightness off the phone randomly increases screen brightness for a moment like a breathing effect, what am I missing here? Is this a software bug or hardware defect?
HI Guys,
I have heard that there is a bug in Android pie update which reduced the brightness of the screen and also reduced the headphone volume output. Are these issues fixed? Also in general how is the screen quality of this phone? Is it bright enough?
Please let me know as I am thinking about buying this phone as it's on sale in India.
No takers?

If you want to leave Auto Brightness enabled and it defaults to too dark, I have used Velis Velis Auto Brightness with great success. Get it on Play Store or on XDA : https://forum.xda-developers.com/sho....php?t=1910521
Does anybody else facing this problem?
Have turned off auto brightness but the phone lowers the brightness all the time super annoying
