alright so i downloaded CHT,and all that i felt came with the package.but suddenly my screen blacks out when the light sensor is covered and normally the screen gets brighter when that's done.(btw my phone is the t-mobile hd2).any ideas or tips???
there is a toggle switch that affects the behavior of the proximity sensor....
try playing around with that....
will try that...

Hi all,
I was wondering if there was a way to force the keyboard keys to stay lit up until you close it. It seems to be cutting out mid type.
Thanks.
It turns off when you it's bright enough in the surrounding area. You can flash cyanogenmod and set all the brightness settings.
Thanks,
I guess I was hoping to be able to control this manually without having to flash a different rom.
At this time its not possible to control it manually from stock froyo. Maybe in gingerbread?

do you have it set to automatic brightness? I noticed my keyboard turning on and off while typing and the screen dimmed and brightened with it. Turned off the auto brightness and hasn't done it since.

Turning off the auto brightness hasn't made any difference to me on my DZ. The backlight for the keyboard and capacative buttons seems to turn off and on quite often for no apparent reason (badly calibrated light sensor ?).
has anyone tried covering up the light sensor with a sticker or something? lol idk

That would certainly work, you can put your finger over it and show how it's the light sensor doing it. Probably not the best long term solution though
Just as the title says-
I am not able to locate the light ambient sensor on my A500 tab- My previous A500 got replaced by acer because the speakers were defective in some way-
I have read that the light sensor is located below the volume rocker and rotation switch on the black glass and can be seen under bright light- i tried every way to find it no success.
I tried "proximityscreenoff" and "sensorlist" from the market. Both of the freewares listed an ambient light sensor on my device as -"Lite-on al3000a Ambient Light sensor"-
BOTH THE APPS COULD NOT GET ANY DATA FROM THE SENSORS :O-
DO we even have a sensor? or is it just me without it?
Can someone please use the apps and tell me if any data is being collected from the sensors?
Highly appreciated- thanks you
I tried with Sensor List and it does indeed show up the sensor, but doesn't seem to be getting any data from it. So it's not just your tablet.
Same thing with "AndroSensor", it shows it but no data change in it either. Hopefully we can figure out what the issues is? Are both of you using the factory install rom? Or a rooted one with a tweaked kernel?

I got Sensorlist and tried it and I do get data from it.
xhz/xxxx or xxxxxms and a red line. The upper limit is 227 and lower limit is -227 and the red checked number changes. It's nowhere as quickscrolling as the other sensors but I get a jagged red line moving across.
okay guyz i think i figured this whole thing out most probably-
I just came back from this electronic store, i closely examined the iconia on display- a500 - noticed the black glass under the volume rocker and rotation lock and THE LIGHT SENSOR WAS THERE! :O - looking like just any ordinary light sensor-
This made me come up to the following conclusions- since i have had another iconia before i returned it for warranty- i was able to identify the following differences-
1st variant-model
Light sensor present
Mic volume low
Volume locker button hard to push
Power button sorta pushed inside
2nd variant model -( the one i currently have)
Light sensor absent? Or hidden under black glass? (Manufacturing defect?)
Loose rotation lock (hardware) toggle
Mic volume high (as in proper)
-(i faced these additional problems)-> glass over the camera came off and the glossy label on the side slipped out.
So if u have the first variant, the one i previously had and the one i examined in the shop today- that should give u data from the light sensor, and the 2nd variant with hidden/absent light sensor won`t.
These are my findings. Feel free to point out and discuss-
What should we do? I m considering a second replacement now -_____-
With AndroSensor app open, try to put some direct light above the sensor and see if it shows some readings. I noticed that the sensor is in a sort of sleep status until it sees some light; after then it kinda wakes up and works properly.
I appear to have what you call the second variant model. I just checked with Androsensor, and the light sensor does appear to be present beneath the black glass, just under the volume up rocker. I agree it does appear to sleep until it senses a light source.

I just downloaded andro sensor-
Under light sensor it sed-waiting for event-
I took my hd2, turned on the flash! Pointed it right above the sensor and no response, it just kept saying waiting for event- so does this mean i have a defective sensor?
Can this be a kernel/rom related issue?
Pls someone try this and let us all noe.
Thanks
It's a long shot but you might attempt flipping the check mark a few times under the brightness setting and "auto adjust" as that probably toggles the sensor as well, though these apps are supposed to do it. Or close and start the app a few times and then check the sensor. I don't know what activates it but I can confirm that it has some kind of threshold where it sleeps or isn't active and another where it is, so you might want to try various things to, as others have mentioned, wake it up.
Are you using any ROMS by any chance or are you on stock? Have you done any sort of modification of the system - rooted and removed things or replaced kernels, etc?
If you are on a ROM or have done any modifications, you may want to try going back to full stock 3.2 or 3.1 and seeing if that helps before you decide it's actually defective.
Just double checked mine running a 3.2 rooted with thor's kernel. The sensor is working fine. But i did have to uncheck the box for the auto screen brightness to wake it up. Then i used a led maglight on the senor.
Readings from Androsensor:
Light (0.5mA)
55.0 lux
With the maglight cut on it.
65790.0 lux.
Please note with the maglight cut on you can see the light sensor hole then.

Same as Killer, seems to be working, rooted 3.2, couldnt see until bright light on it.
Anyone have any idea where the mic(s) are, not really important just wanna know which end to scream into when doing voice search
Mic is located directly in the top center of the front face, in the space between the glass and the bezel. You should be able to see it with just a small amount of light shining on it.
FINALLY!
after various non stop auto brightness toggle on and offs - waiting for event went and 1 lux came xD - i shone light the reading increased - and stopped working agen :|
I dunnu maybe the apps are not fully compatible.
I can say it is working because i changed my brightness to full manually and then turned auto on and the brightness level set itself automatically.
So will we have to wake up the sensor from a state of sleep all the time or is it just for the apps xP - last confusion.
Thanks every1 for ur responses, the mystery is finally coming to an end xD!
I've been having an issue with both the proximity sensor and the light sensor. If I press the phone against my face it'll start pressing numbers or disconnecting calls (screen won't turn off due to the sensor not working) and the light sensor doesn't affect the illumination levels on my screen and buttons; actually the only way to make my buttons light up is manually changing the brightness (both screen and buttons) but after locking the phone and waking it back up the buttons stay unlit.
Has anyone else had this problem? I'm not sure if I've been having it after flashing CM9 or after my phone got a bit wet. I took the phone apart to check if something was wrong with the sensors (obstruction, dirt, corrosion, etc) but couldn't find anything.
Also, I downloaded "Sensors List" from the Play Store and both sensors are not detected.
Any ideas?
Idea...
About button light... Is your display brightness set to Auto? If not, set it to auto and your buttons will be fine.
I just tried doing that and it didn't worked, not even completely removing the screw. I guess the sensors got damaged with water (if they can be damaged that way). Oh, and setting the brightness to Automatic doesn't do anything either.
Thanks a lot though.
Hello community,
After a while I have the Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge, my accidently dropped from the screen side.
Screen started blinking white at the down side and half above of screen is green.
The interesting thing is when you are outside like sunny weather, if you set the brightness to the full the problem will be fixed! Unless you go to a darker place.
I took it to a repair shop, they said the LCD is broken and it must be replaced. For some reasons in our country it is too expensive for us to replace it.
Are they saying the truth? Including the solution I mentioned above, is LCD totally broken?
The second problem is I can't turn auto brightness off completely. When I disable it my phone still do some adjustments for the brightness of the screen and causes flickering at the lower brightness.
I almost searched the Internet to find out how to disable the proximity sensor. But I didn't see any helpful solution.
Sorry for bad English.
Thank you for reading.
up...
pls some help me for disabling the proxymity sensor
There was an app called Hardware disabler that I used on my Note to disable the proximity sensor. I think it needs root an was not in the playstore, but it worked fine for years.
I would like to tell you that it often happens when I pull the S10+ out of my pocket, so the display is not in "stand by" mode, it is not always on display, but it is slightly backlit. Classically, the display is black and shines only AOD. But when I pull it out of my pocket, instead of the classic AOD it shines for hours and even seconds and after them you can see the wallpaper of the locked display and it is slightly backlit. The display itself is dark, but it is slightly backlit and you can see the wallpaper. With the classic AOD, the display is completely black and I have set only hours, minutes, date and battery, and of course, the notification, if any. Does anyone know what it is, whether it can be turned off so that the display does not illuminate the pocket?
I have accidental touch protection on.
As far as I know proximity sensor is only accessible when you are in call, that's why other apps can't access it.
Samsung should remedy this. Because I always change the Always On setting in my pocket. Specifically - Rotation and Brightness Always On.
EDIT: It happens most when I tap wake-up.
