I have tried several apk but unfortunately no one works well because the sensor in low light, it is like being turned off.
Do you know if there is a way or a program compatible with the light sensor of the TF700?
I would need to turn it off and turn on when I close the cover.
Can imagine you could use something like Tasker maybe to set it to turn off.
Turning on is a different matter. Not sure that's possible via an APK.
Thanks for the reply.
The APK works fine.
The problem is the light sensor of the TF 700 in low light because his argument has 0 as if it were in complete darkness!
Its variation is not gradual ... changes from 0 to 300

Ive tried putting my phone in auto brightness before, it always stays really bright. And then if I turn off auto brightness and set it to the lowest setting, it sometimes jumps back to brighter settings.
Well, I flashed the new JH3 rom yesterday and quite a few people in the JH2/3 threads said that the light sensor works much better, I set mine to auto brightness and I get nothing, it literally doesnt auto adjust AT ALL... So I downloaded two apps,light sensor and ProximityLightTester. Light Sensor just says "no value", and proximityLightSensor... well it was jumping from 6 to 5000 (literally, just those two values) with lots of lag between bringing it into light/taking it in a pitch black room. Now it just says no value as well... I have 1 week before the thirty days is up
Ideas/help?? Im just not sure if these apps are made to work with captivates and if that is the reason its not working
These apps don't work for me either so don't deal out about that. Unfortunately that's all I can help you with
Huh... well good to know. But if you set your phone to auto brightness and put your hand over the light sensor, does the screen get dim? I mean, I assume it would, but mine doesnt.
My Galaxy S has a problem with the Light Sensor, every time i make a call my phone freezes or black screen, I tried running some sensor tests but also does same when i try the light sensor, so that must be it. have this problem for a year, at first i thought it was the proximity sensor.
When my headphone is plugged in, i dont have this problem because the light sensor wont interfear then.
I want to disable the startup of the light sensor,
I already setup ADB, so im ready to push and pull, but i don't know wich file i need to edit. remove a # here and there
Can anyone tell how wich file it is?

Sure its not the proximity sensor? Cause I got the same problem. When I accept a call screen goes black, the upper bar is visible and after a while the screen turns off. Im ceratin that is a problem with the proximity sensor or not?
Same here, yeah think its the proximity, but my light sensor also doesn't function properly, auto brightness adjustment doesnt work also.
Very anoying problem.
Hello everybody. Firstly I'd like to sorry but my English is poor. Ok, so what's going on? One day I saw that 4 touch buttons don't have backlight. So I tought it could be that light sensor. I've gone to the display settings and I set up auto brightness. And nothing has changed... No matter where I go, brightness doesn't change at auto. And this no backlight of 4 touch buttons... My question is: what it could be? What is wrong with my HTC? Could it be software issue or rather hardware?
the autobrightness setting your messing with is for the backlight of the screen, not the 4 buttons. as for the 4 buttons, what kernel and rom are you on? newer xe kernels have brightness setting for the buttons (if its bright outside itll turn off, if its dark then itll turn on). does the backlight of the 4 buttons never work or just sometimes?
I use stock 1.50~~ ROM with stock htc kernel. Sometimes (as now for example) 4 buttons backlight works, sometimes not, it's lottery... Now there is working also light sensor. I woke up today and it has been working, but since monday to yesterday it didn't work. Strange issue...
Try check tour sensors with androsensor from Market/Google Play.
It shows you whats sensors do work.
Light sensor is at the top left hand side of the phone at the front beside the speaker. Put your thumb over it and see if the buttons light up. If they do light sensor is working!
My sensors are still not working to all the time.
I did edit the build.prop with this line at the botten:
ro.mot.buttonlight.timeout=0
Reboot 2x
Wich helped .
But now its gone again,it drives me nuts
There is shortcut for light sensor check, for example on Samsung i9001 I can use *#*#0588#*#* - Proximity sensor test
hope this can help

And what should happen ?
Tried it,nothing.
Thanks tho.
Do you have it in a case? I put mine in a gel case and although it didn't appear to block the sensor I was finding that when I finished a call the screen didn't light up again. I trimmed the case so that it had much more clearance around the sensor and it works well now.

Is your proximity sensor working during calls?
Not for me
(Ps.factory reset in total dark worked till reboot)
Did anyone figure this out?
I bought a used phone for a great price but my light sensor and proximity sensor dont work. Confirmed with androsense.
I would really like to just have the buttons light up all the time when the screen is on. Anyone know how to make that possible?
I tried different roms (cm10.2, cm11, ls3.1, ...) all the same. Sometimes the light sensor seems not working. After reboots it may be found/activated or even not.
Yesterday i found the solution: If i reboot my Relay 4G in broad daylight or in the near of a lamp the light sensor (and therefore also the display auto brightness) works.
Maybe there is a test at bootup if sensor returns "0" the light sensor wont be activated? Anybody else have problems with auto brightness?
Regards
I have had similar experience when booting the phone in a dark environment. When the light gets bright it starts working again.
Hi all, after updating to Android L (5.0 and 5.0.1) I've noticed that the ambient and proximity sensor will stop working after a certain amount of time. The time appears to be random at the moment. It started off with the adaptive brightness not working correctly, it would always be near max brightness in the dark and minimum in bright light, and at some points it would just stop changing altogether. So I decided to get lux autobrightness, it works better than adaptive brightness in L, but it would also stop adjusting itself after awhile.
Then I noticed that sometimes during a phone call, the phone's screen will not turn off so at the moment I decided to check the sensor's value with an app when the auto brightness/proximity wasn't working anymore. Turns out that the sensors are all registering 0 values or not changing it's readings despite being in different light conditions.
A reboot fixes this but, it's really annoying having to reboot the phone once a day.
Anyone else experiencing this?
EDIT: nvm, found out that other people are experiencing this as well. Haven't been on xda for awhile and forgot how to use the search button
