Light sensor issue?

Tried googling it but didn't find anything exactly like this.
Basically when I have auto brightness there are times when i won't move my phone whatsoever or any lighting around it and the brightness go from dim to bright couple secs back to dim and so on for no reason.
Could it be a faulty sensor or firmware related?
I had stock and few custom roms and its happening on all of them.
Idk if I should send to htc for repkacemt or are any you experiencing same thing and expect this to be fixed with update?
It's so annoying and although I could put a constant screen brightness I don't want to.
Thanks in advanced !!

I find that a lot of times when I'm holding my phone in landscape that my left hand covers the sensor. As I'm typing it will move enough to generate a change, and then move back to undo it. Just my .02.

Yes I don't hold in landscape and I will literally just put phone on table and the brightness goes back and forth without stopping.
And I'm positive no light is changing or ne movements ...

I think you have what I have and maybe its just a faulty sensor?
Then again if it gets brigght it dies adjust accordingly and otherway around its just it never stops and imagine reading even this forum at night on phone and every eight seconds gets brighter and eight seconds later gets dim and so on.
It's so annoying I think I'm gonna send my phone in
I'm just scared to because i had no other issues at all that others had and don't wanna risk a different problem ....

Backspace button not responsive when pressed near edge of screen

Backspace button not responsive when pressed near edge of screen.
Has anyone else experienced this issue? Try pressing backspace on the right hand edge of the screen?

Not an issue for me, what keyboard are you using? Cos one of the first things I did was switch to swiftkey x. Best keyboard out there in my opinion. For t9 input I also recommend smart keyboard pro.

its the same with every keyboard ive tried, i have to press it on the far left side of the backspace key to get it to register. only noticed it in the last week or so. its the same on all roms. but when ive tried the touch test app from the market my screen is responding to touch equally on both sides of the screen...

That's beyond my knowledge then dude. What a weird bug/whatever it is.

I am facing same problem with endymion ROM.Please help me..............

mot.proximity.delay=150
Add that to your build.prop file.

Hi mate where about to i put this line in the build prop do i just add it or replace it with its old one
and is there way to have it so it dont go off at all i hate it

Hi, i had also the issue with proximity sensor, tested by i.e. sensordump app shown no activity at all so I thoght it is broken. I sent it to HTC service centre for repair. They did just recalibration of the sensor and all is working fine now.
Seems there is no any tool nor any hidden service menu on HTC Desire like i.e on ZTE devs that enables you to recalibrate it by yourself :-(

Unresponsive screen/home button issue

Hello, just wondered if someone could help or has a similar problem... the left side of my touch screen including the home button periodically stops responding which makes using the phone a bit awkward at times. I did have it booked in for repair with HTC but it started working again so the repair was cancelled. Since then it has become unresponsive, and now back to working again so I'm just waiting for it to break again! If anyone has any tips for sorting this I would be grateful, thanks.

Sounds like a hardware issue! Does a restart fix it?
