Autobacklight changes constantly - HTC Sensation

I find it very annoying that backlight changes constantly, even in the same room, with the same lightning conditions. If I move my hand a bit it changes. I am using Viper and there are tweaks to change backlight, but there's no way to make it work better. I don't know if this is just the way this phone is made.
Also the position of the sensor is very stupid, you can cover it accidentally.
I am never able to notice backlight changes in my iPhone.
Is there any way to make it more gradual,like iPhone?
P.S.Pls don't tell me to set it to manual

May sound stupid but it may be a scratch over the sensor cover or some dust below the cover.

I have tried cleaning the sensor, but problem persists. It depends on the angle I'm holding the phone

If its the angle I think it may be a scratch.. or a dent which causes the cover to cast partial shadow.
Just to confirm, you can try it without the back cover. See if its still giving you trouble.

Well I removed the back cover, but it's the same. Maybe I'm asking too much from my phone. I compare it to my iPhone 4, I'm never able to spot the backlight change with it, don't know how they made it. I just wish it could be a little less noticeable that's all

Skin, cases and touchscreen

It seems like everytime I put a case or skin on my phone the touch screen becomes really really glitchy and jumping. Super annoying, I have read the touch screen issue with grounding but just wanted to ask those of you who have skins on your phones experience this without any hacks to the grounding pin?
This happens on every ROM I put on...
Sense 3.0 and 3.5, Miui, and CM7.
Edit: When using the phone without a skin or case, works wonderfully.

I'm using the case-mate barely there case and dont have any issues. That seems kinda weird. What case are you using?

I'm using a vertex case right now.
Can you tell me if your phone says Made in China or Taiwan and the screen panel please?
My wife's Sensation suffers from the same thing.

Sorry it took me so long to get back to you I'm at work. My phone was made in Taiwan and I'm not sure what the screen panel number is where can I find that?
Sent from my HTC Sensation XE with Beats Audio Z715e using xda premium
It's ok bud.
To check the panel you can:
Download terminal emulator and note everything from market, then open terminal emulator and type: dmesg
Press and hold down anywhere on the screen and copy all
Then open note everything and copy the everything here
Tap menu button within note everything and look for Panel
You should see something like Panel_Auo or Panel_Sharp
Thanks man for your help

I have asian version. Made from taiwanese.
Why you dont try the solution by pull up a little bit of the grounding pin as can be seen in the u tube?
I suspected, maybe due to you always open the back cover to much could cause the grounding pin pull inside..just my 2 sen..

How do you like your Vertex case? I am thinking about buying one and cannot find anything on the internet about it.

I've got a vertex and really like it. Its the only case I found that has cut outs for all t the holes in the rear cover, and it looks and feels really nice. I had a tpu case before it which was decent but the naztech vertex is better.

Dead pixels?

I have noticed at the top of my screen in the notification bar clock there's a 1 to 2 mm line of black no matter what's on the screen colour wise. I have turned the screen off and put it under a bright light and found no dust evidence. So it must be dead pixels, Is there nothing I can do about this? Will it get worse over time?
Sent from my HTC Sensation Z710e using XDA App
Never noticed such an issue. But it could be a stuck pixels instead of a dead pixels.
Search for "Dead Pixel Detect and Fix"-App it could fix your problem.
(sry can't give you a external link, cuz it's my first post )
Thanks, found it and used but didn't work.
Sent from my HTC Sensation Z710e using XDA App
Hm sorry for you.
Are you using stock or a custom ROM ?
If so maybe give it a shot on an other ROM ?
Try looking at those pixels with full screen images of single colours at full brightness. If you don't find anything wrong around the pixels then there isn't anything wrong.
Sent from my HTC Sensation Z710e using XDA App
Tried that with 4 different colours and it stayed the same, every thing else on the screen is fine apart from a 1 to 2 mm black line just above the time above the time in the top right hand side of the screen.

Had the exact same problem. Sent it HTC and they confirm its a hardware problem covered under warranty. Still waiting to get it back though! :S

It was in the same place? Not sure It's worth sending back so long for such a small fault which you can hardly notice. Unless it will get progress and get worst?
Sent from my HTC Sensation Z710e using XDA App
I think dead pixels tend to get worse over time. That was the reason why I sent it back in the first place. I don't think this kind of delay is norm. I was told that they were missing a part and they had to wait for it to come from abroad, hence the delay.
What to do with a phone I got of eBay and have branded from Orange to stock sin free. Do you think they will honors the hardware warranties.

They should honor the warranty, I had a phone bought from Mobicity in Australia and then I moved to Croatia. After a couple of months I had a dust issue and I sent a e-mail to the authorised servise in Croatia and they checked the IMEI if it is covered. I also dod S-ON and flashed an Asian RUU just to be safe.

Would you take back a phone for this reason

I just got my replacement sensation 4g and it is like 2 little dots of light that like idk seep through the screen. Its really not on the screen thqt you touch its on the bottom left corner next to the home button. It is kind of annoying when I take my case off and see them but maybe I will get used to it idk. Would you take yours back for this? I also am having my htc sense keep crashing and my phone randomly reboot itself. On T-Mobile chat they say it is an app causing this and not the phone because they fixed that problem with the last update and want me to delete some apps off my phone to see which app is causing it. Anybody else having those issues?

I tried and I couldn't see it. I think you can only see it in the dark when its light I couldn't even see it (this is the first day I used my phone without a case with the case on I couldn't see it). But its still kind of annoying. Maybe I'm just being anal.

Same thing happens to me on the most popular ROMs too. No workarounds at the moment.
I believe is a bug within the YouTube app
