In first place it can be a bad connection of the cabling.

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

Where is the light sensor located, exactly?

So the proximity sensor on my Z3 is screwed up. I only need to put my hand about 5cm (2") over the sensor and the screen shuts off when unlocket.
Any help would be appreciated!

Proximity works only during the call.
Anyother behavior is not normal, and also 5cm is maybe little much, but also mine register 3-4cm.
So for some strange reason my proximity sensor is active all the time, any fix for this?

Connect it to pcc and use repair solution. That is simplest thing to try.

Okay, I solved it, it was actually an app that had gotten permission to access the senor, after removing permission from the app everything is back to normal, phew!

Which app was it? How did you find it? I also have this problem.
Running 5.0 on AT&T model. I have auto brightness turned on with baseline at dimmest setting which as most know is bright enough for most indoor situations. When I go outside into broad daylight, the brightness does not change. I can manually increase to full (and then the display is readable) but nothing happens on it's own.
Is this normal, am I missing something else? Defective light sensor?
EDIT: According to the following apps, I don't have a light sensor and my proximity sensor is failing. Can anyone confirm good data from them? -- Sensor Box for Android, Sensor Test, Phone Tester, Sensor Kinetics
If your screens turns off during calls that means the proximity sensor *is* functioning. I tried a sensor test and don't see fail anywhere.

Yea, my screen doesn't turn off during calls (unless I knock-knock on my head/ear). Also knock on constantly turns the screen on when I have the phone in my pocket (when proximity sensor should prevent it, right?) There isn't really a "failure" in those apps per se, I am just not getting any type of change in the data from proximity sensor and I am not even getting an option for light sensor test. More or less trying to verify I have a hardware issue before trying to get a replacement or warranty service. I've only had phone for 2 days.
Thanks for the feedback.

Have you tried a factory reset already and is yours rooted?

Tried factory reset last night with no change. This phone has never been rooted (and I received it new)
This is from the sensor app. I would conclude yours is faulty if resets aren't fixing anything.

Hi.
I have a dead proximity sensor in my Nexus 5, the light sensor is still ok.
The problem is when making a call the screen goes black, and will not light up.
I´ve tried alot of different apps that should make a work around but with no luck.
Does anybody have a good solution ?
Are you sure it's dead? I've had issues with mine, but it turned out to be a purely software issue.
Here's a link towards the solution.
You're going to have to root your phone though.
That worked, thx

Can someone please tell me where the setting for when your talking on the phone your phone is suppose to black out when you hold it to your face. I can't find anything.
Huh? Mine just does it. It uses the proximity sensor. I don't think that's a setting
The sensor is behind the glass, not near the earpiece.
Is there a sensor test or calibration somewhere?

You can go to dialer(stock) and *#808# scroll left to right to degugfing and then proximity sensor test.

This app also let's you test most sensors on your phone.
