Auto brightness

[Guest heavyduty00]

does Auto brightness actually work lol?

i swere it always stays on the lowest brightness setting, and when it does go brighter, it will go back to low brightness in 2 seconds lol.

i have a custom rom hungarian hedgehog its 2.1 but doesnt seem to work lol

I have Freakers BladeVillain ROM, also based on the Hungarian build, and it definitely works for me... very well. Wonder of there is an App or setting you have that is preventing it from working?

hmm..dont think so, i downloaded a brightness app earlier and set auto brightness on there but it hasnt really done much lol

i only have standard apps installed like angry birds, and some few minor games, winamp for music, and widgets for system info, live wallpaper etc and just normal apps that help me everyday lol

Where did you get your phone? Is it an Orange San Francisco, or maybe the Finnish model (known to have sensor differences)?

[Guest heavyduty00]

yea orange san francisco uk lol

[Guest Arr Too]

Is it in a case of any sort? Or maybe something else is blocking the sensor?

You sure its not working? Mine worked on all the roms I've tried (2.1 and 2.2) and I reckon its too sensitive, I wave the phone around and the brightness changes dramatically, was really annoying. I turned it off.

+1 here

Had to turn it off as it changed dramatically when switching orientation and while gaming (Moving hands / fingers over the sensor)

Obvious ways to test would be to cover the sensor in a bright room / outside (blue dot next to the earpiece) and the screen should dim to lowest and then, when you remove your hand, should return.

You do have the "auto brightness" box ticked right?

Running Froyo alpha 4 and auto-brightness works fine.
