light sensor problem

[cakrit]

i have a problem with light sensor. sipmply is not working.. when i turn it on the screen goes to lowest settings.
I installed the "water level" program an i see that there is always at 926 lumens. any idea whats wrong?
i try hard reset but the problem persists.

What I did for it to actually start working was I put the "On battery power" all the way to power save, and then selected "auto adjust backlight.

I might look stupid here, but my screen goes dimmer in a pitch black room, and brighter when there is a lot of light. Is this how it works?

That's right - if the environment is darker you don't need that much backlight for the screen to be readable. The more light is shining at the display the brighter it has to be in order for you to see anything. It's really more of a power saving feature...

for the record:
i return my device as DOA and now i got a new one that is working fine .:)
