Hi,
The light sensor on my phone is not working.
I checked with the code *#0*# and it always shows the below status -
Light Sensor: 0 lux
Light Sensor:0,0,0,0 (R,G,B,W)
Can anyone tell me that this happens if the light sensor has failed or is there any way to fix it on my own.

According to the Leo/Linux status wiki (http://htc-linux.org/wiki/index.php?title=Leo/Status) the Ambient Light Sensor is still not working properly.
That would explain why auto backlight adjustment does not work.
However, when in the phone screen the light sensor seems to work in that the screen goes dark when I cover the light sensor, as expected.
So I am curious as to the status of this regarding auto backlight specifically, does anyone have any more concrete info?
Perhaps there are separate light sensors? Or perhaps the light sensor only works in a limited fashion for the time being?
Just curious, not complaining
(P.S. the free "Battery Level" widget from the Market has worked well for me in the absence of auto backlight adjustment, in case others find it useful)
well there's a proximity sensor on the phone that comes into play while you are in an active call. it disables the back as you put the phone to your ear. you were simply simulating that action by covering the sensor with your hand.
Ah ok! Thats what the proximity sensor is. That is indeed marked as working on the status wiki, so that makes sense.
Thanks!
Hi!
I have a Samsung B7610.
I also have O2Compass, but I didn't know that the app includes more features then just the compass - it has also metal detector, spirit level and light sensor.
All of them work except light sensor, it always show 0.
Why is that?
Hi,
The metal detector is a trick from compass.
For the light sensor, check in your settings if you did not set the screen light to a manual value.
You're right, I did have screen brightness to manual, however I did set it to Automatic, but still the light sensor shows 0 lux, I tried to use *#0*# Light Sensor Test, but it shows light presence.
Just like title， Note3 proximity sensor is dead, the screen keep light during calls，I checked as follow：
put *#0*# ,
proximity sensor
proximity:0.0 ADC:0(0.0.0)
TSP color ID:01
Lights Sensor
light sensor:0 lux
light sensor: 0,0,0,0,0,0,(R,G,B,W)
Put *#7353# proximity sensor
proximity sensor was display "release"
light sensor was display "1"
what's wrong with it
And I did try to fix the phone
1) Default setting reset -> nothing
2) Factory reset -> nope
3) Can air -> nope
4) I change the new lights sensor -> nope
I have a700fd on Indian firmware bpd4.
I noticed that the proximity sensor of my phone is continously working (?????). It is doing its job perfectly though.
Seeing it through another phone camera it shows continously flickering red light from the proximity sensor.
I want to know if it's normal for A700FD??
Can anyone confirm this?
I checked same with my note 5 and its not the same with that.
Hi,
My screen is always dark with light automatic or manual... And my screen stays black during/after a call.
I have to put the light manual with high level to have a readable screen.
Which sensor is in cause? Light sensor or proximity sensor?
Thanks.
