[Q] screen problem when sunny - Milestone XT720 General

hi everyone, i have a problem with my motorola fire XT311 , when the screen it's exposed to sun it goes blank and buggy (it turns white with some vertical lines)
so it's unusable outdoor on a sunny day
i think it's a light sensor problem... i've searched on g**gle how to disable the light sensor but couldn't find anything. maybe the sensor bug when the lux value is too big ? i checked if it happens with the flashlight of my optimus 2x, i put it in front of light sensor till i got 255 lux value but nothing happens , only at the sun light i have this problem
anyone has any ideea of what can i do ? or how to disable light sensor ... or maybe this isn't the problem
i didn't find similar problems on the net, so...
any help would be greatly appreciated
Fire XT311
Android 2.3.5 rooted
baseband PR2
kernel Apps_2.6.32.9
build 4_53B_4034

Have you tried covering the light sensor with your finger when in the sun?

Light Sensor not functioning well

Hi, the light sensor on my TP is not as sensitive as it was before, i used the sensor test utility and it reads dark in fair light, and it barely changes values when moving from outdoor to indoor..... my screen protector is partially covering the sensor, i removed it completely but same result, is there a utility to adjust the sensor......... please help
Also having this problem, the light sensor doesn't seem to function at all..
Same here, my sensor doesn't seem to work from what I can tell (is it next to the speaker at top?).

Yes thats it.
Is there any information about an upcomming firmware update by HTC? i'm having troubles with loads of bugs atm..
the only time i noticed this problem was after installing PocketShield http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=430541 .... but im sure i did not have this issue before.
I have had 3 touch pro phone's now becuase i had some issues with the screen, but all of the phone's that i had had the same problem with the light sensor, it just doesnt word properly.
We need a rom update!
Try one of the bubble level programs from over on the Diamond apps forum. Sorry I don't know which one and i don't have time to try right now, but it has a light level meter that show how many ansi lumens the sensor is registering.
Just put your finger over the sensor and see if the display dims, then remove your finger and see if it brightens again.
This test works fine on my TP.
not that much result here..

used to work, but not anymore.... i can only notice the screen change when moving from indoor to direct sun light
Go to battery options and turn the light sensor off. You'll see immediately that screen will light up. Turn the light sensor on again and the screen will darken

Indicator Light on the Speaker

Hi Guys
Does anyone know what the indicator light that is inside the recessed area for the front speaker for? I have never seen it light up, and have no idea what it's supposed to be used for.
Thanks!
the ambient light sensor
It's a light sensor.. this question allready covered here.
The display's backlight auto-adjusts (can be disabled tough) with the help of this light sensor
HAHA. I can't tell you how many times I looked at my phone trying to think of where the light sensor is. I heard that light described as an actually light, that blinks for certain occasions.
try searching next time
but...you are talking about the light sensor. the notification light is around the dpad

faulty light sensor on zte v970

Hi,
Got my ZTE V970 from etotalk a couple of weeks ago. I like it very much, but it has 1 big problem: the light sensor. In a medium lighted room it goes on and off like crazy, switching from full brightness to zero back and forwards. I am using the original rom.
Has anyone else with the phone this problem or is mine faulty?

Mine is only a little bit nervous in medium lighted rooms - but itis not that bad. Does't go from shiny to black in my case.
I have Brunos ROM on my V970.
By the way, does anybody know if it is possible to enable haptic feedback for the 4 softbuttons (Menu, Back, Home, Search)?
'Soft Buttons Light' app from market can help
not perfect but good enough
Or you can NOT set the screens brightness to auto...

Camera Flash On Whilst Charging

Has anybody else noticed the camera light comes on very slightly whilst charging? Also red light in the proximity sensor is always on whilst the screen is on. Is this normal or just my phone?
Red light in the proximity sensor is also apparently my Japanese XZ variant.
But my camera flash doesn't turn on when charging phone.
Yes, mine does! When i first turn it on it always flashes once, but also sometimes builds up to quite a bright flickering light. It tends to happen more when charging from a low charge and usually stops if i unplug and plug back in a couple of times.
Your comment is the only reference i've found to it!

Auto brightness inconsistent

When I have auto brightness on, sometimes the brightness suddenly goes up very high then drops back to normal.
Sometimes it's the opposite it gets very low then back to normal.
And sometimes it doesn't go back to that sweet spot it was at.
It stays a bit more bright or less bright than it were.
It's really annoying.
This is of course under the same light condition.
In a couple of circumstances:
The device was still on the table.
Holding the device with one hand from the bottom under a blanket.
Gaming in landscape mode with both hands.
Does anyone have this issue, a software issue maybe?
or is it possibly a hardware issue with my unit?
I don't even know where the ambient light sensor is on the poco f2 pro.
Happens to me too. But it's still better than my old RN5 - there the auto mode is useless, always too dark.
Hello
I have same problem
Ambiant sensor is on the flash led, you can see two leds for camera and the third is the brightness
This device is very bad for this feature, same for the proximity sensor, under the screen and poor efficiency, screen Lights up again during call

Yup same with proximity here
But as for the ambient light sensor it turns out there is not one but 3 (2 on the front side and one on the back)
Xiaomi is calling it 360° ambient light sensor.
It's supposed to be one of a kind.
Only the poco f2 pro has this.
But apparently it is poorly implemented.
The hardware is pretty capable but software needs a lot of work.
Hopefully this gets fixed in future updates.

Yes I saw this so called feature, But I think it's bull****, there is only a sensor on the back, hence the fact that the screen turns off when you put the device on a table..
Under the screen, with the sun you can see the hole of the fingerprint sensor, the hole at the top of the proximity sensor, and the touch screen, nothing else
I think it's a bogus feature, a bit like some devices where you realize that one of the photo sensors is just a dummy
