E52 Ambient Light Sensor (Not Working)

I just got my E52 with replaced motherboard (0573916) from the NOKIA Care Centre. And guess what... I could not adjust the brightness! The ambient light sensor is not freaking working! So frustrating really...

In the iPad, open the Settings app and drag the brightness slider to 50%. While 'Brightness and Wallpaper' still open, go to a bright source of light (window, lamp, etc.) and see if it changes; now go to a dark room and see if the button starts to slide to the left (very slowly; really, now it's very slow). Put the iPad to sleep (Still on brightness and wallpaper) and then wake it up again and see if the position of the slidebar changes. Remember that now the ALS behavior has changed and now it works like in OS X.
If you don't see any changes, then it would be time to consider a restore of the iOS via iTunes:

Toshiba - A665-S5170: ambient light sensor not working after recovery

Hi all,
Two weeks ago I bought Toshiba - Satellite Laptop Model: A665-S5170 | SKU: 1859059
http://www.bestbuy.com/site/Toshiba+-+Satellite+Laptop+/skuId=1859059
I tried to resize the C: partition using the recovery option. It works fine ending with C: partition (100 GB) and D: partition (480GB)
All the divers and applications restored fine except the ambient light sensor.
I used system recovery to out-of-box state, but still have the same problem "ambient light sensor not working".
Would you please help me find a solution?
Thanks in advance.

I had the same problem. I tried resetting SMC but that didn't do the trick. Then I tried “Repair disc permissions“ and that fixed the problem.

Ambient Light Sensor Not Working Macbook Pro 13 inch early 2011 version

Hi. I just need some clarification on how the ambient light sensor works. it seems mine is not working. Correct me if I'm wrong:
1. Screen light must increase brightness if you are in a dark / dim room
2. Screen light must decrease brightness if there is natural light
What must be the level of light in F2? Should it just be in the middle to activate ALS?
Am I correct or not?

1. Screen light must increase brightness if you are in a dark / dim room
2. Screen light must decrease brightness if there is natural light
Actually, you are wrong. The opposite of each statement is true.
If the screen adjusted itself to maximum brightness in a very dark room, it would be blinding. In a dark room, you only need a very dim backlight to be able to see the screen well.
And in bright light, the screen is quite hard to read unless it is very bright.
What must be the level of light in F2? Should it just be in the middle to activate ALS?
I'm sorry, but I don't understand these questions.
The ALS is always active. You can determine (in System Preferences) whether or not it will automatically adjust your keyboard and display backlights as ambient light levels change.

Apple iPod Touch 2G Ambient Light Sensor not working!

Now I have a iPod Touch 2nd Generation which I was given for Cristmas 2009 and was really pleased with it and it has only been now that I have
Noticed that the ambient light sensor soposedly built in does not seem to work! It is on in the settings and other people have said that it only senses when it is woken but it does not even do it then!
P.S. I do have a transparent screen protector on it although this should not affect it!

M640 ambient light sensor not working

The ambient light sensor on my M640-BT2N23 laptop is apparently not functioning, if it exists at all (the laptop's specs say it's there.) Whether I'm looking at the screen in a dark room or a brightly-lit room, the display intensity does not seem to change at all to compensate.
When I check Windows 7's Location and Other Sensors control panel, it says that no sensors are installed.
1) Does my computer include the ambient light sensor?
2) If so, is there a way to activate it?
3) If so, is it worth the effort?

IPod Touch ambient light sensor not working?

Ok, I have an iPod Touch and everything works fine except for auto brightness. Whenever I cover up the light sensor nothing happens, the screen doesn't get lighter or darker...it just stays the same for some reason. The only way I can get auto brightness to work is if I put the iPod Touch into sleep mode and cut it back on again, then it seems to work. Does anyone else have this problem? Also, try covering up the sensor and see if the brightness changes at all, if you can. I have a feeling that my iPod may be defected.

Ambient light sensor not working..does anyone knows how it works or how can i get it to work

i have it on where it should adjust when im in a dark room or not and it just wont work is it something i should get fix or whats the proper way to fix it

If it's broken, there isn't much you can do except contact Apple. However, it doesn't adjust much and the adjustment is almost impossible to detect! Before you contact Apple, try one thing:
A System Reset cures many ills. It's easy, quick and harmless. Hold down the on/off switch and the Home button simultaneously until you see the Apple logo. Ignore the "Slide to power off" text if it appears.
A System Reset does not remove any apps, music, movies, etc. nor does it cause any settings to revert back to default.

E65 light sensor not working, keypad backlight no...

Hi,
If anybody knows how to fix this. Pls help ?
I got this e65 and realized that the keypad backlight doesnt not work, even in total darkness. Looks like the ambient light sensor has gone kaput.
Will be most thankful, if anyone knows how to fix this.
cheers,
Mohan

I got a nokia 65 early this year and the keyboard backlight conked out. I took it to the nokia service center and after 3 weeks of tinkering they replaced the e65 unit completely with a brand new unit, this worked fine for about a month, and then it also had the keyboard backlight conk out. Im still waiting for nokia to get a replacement part this is going 3 weeks. I did a google search on "nokia e65 backlight problems" and lo and behold I am not alone. This seems to be a common problem enough to produce several google hits. The E65 has a hardware problem with the keypad backlight in particular. I am not sure if they have solved this problem, frankly im reaching the point of demanding a refund or credit on the unit I got so i can get a nokia n95 or e90 which seems to have a better quality control. Maybe nokia should consider recalling the E65 models. Its gotten so bad because my company purchased about a dozen E65 and about 4 units including mine have experienced problems with the keypad backlight conking out. Right now i cannot SMS in the dark.

Light sensor not working after lollipop update

I run the diagnostic test on my device after the update and light sensor failed.it worked normally with kit Kat 4.4.4! Another bug? Can anyone help?
Solved!

@daltzi
I agree with @darp I haven't been able to recreate your issue, it could be that an app it's creating this issue, @SomeQuickAdvice boot on safe mode and run diagnostics again or repair your phone with PCC

Light sensor not working during calls

My iPhone 4 has been working fine since May, until recently...when my light sensor wasn`t working really well, when i am on a phone call, the screen doesn`t turn off even though i place the phone just beside my ears and this is very annoying as my ears will touch the loud speaker button and i have to turn it off frequently during a call...but the sensor works fine for the screen brightness as for auto brightness, i have only dropped my phone once, never been jailbroken before..i have also restored my phone, reset all settings in the phone but none of them helped, is there any alternative way to solve this annoying problem?

The sensor you refer to is a proximity sensor (not a light sensor) and is not sensitive to light. It is sensitive to an object close by, i.e. your ear, face or a case. This can be tested by playing a voicemail and placing your finger to the left of the earpice... the screen should go dark.
Try removing your case. If still a problem, it will likely be covered under warranty.

Proximity sensor and light sensor not working

Z10STL100-1/10.2.1.2141
My proximity and light sensors are not working. BlackBerry virtual expert can't detect motion in proximity sensor test and not able to handle light dim or high in light sensor.
What should I do now?
It's very frustrating because I just bought this phone yesterday.

Strange thing happened to me today. When i did security wipe my both sensors started working. Both were working till evening. Then suddenly it stopped working, so what is the problem.?
I am really waiting for solution.

Proximity and light sensor not working

I've been experiencing some problems with the proximity sensors of my Z10 STL2; not sure if it's a coincidence (after the latest backup) but the sensor sometimes fails and I have to reboot the device. After the reboot it stays ok for a while but 30 min it fails again.
Wright now it stopped working completely. What should I do?
Thanks!

I have BlackBerry z10 and I had the same problem ( proximity sensor was not working while being on call) and it started only available the update 10.3.1.1565. Then I noticed that my sensor was working before the update, that meant that hardware was okay. It might be the problem with the update. But I had got a new glass guard for the protection of my phone screen, I thought to remove it and then check. To my surprise, now it is working fine. I suggest you, if you also have some screen guard or glass guard on your phone, remove it and then check if it works. For me it did.

I just bought a new iPhone 5 today and the Ambient light sensor is not working. What can i do?

I just bought a new iPhone 5 today and the Ambient light sensor is not working. What can i do?

Ambient light sensors are not always perfect in their function. To test, go into darkened room, with screen OFF, Locked, tap Home button. Look at screen it should be normal for use in darkened room, turn on bright lights, the screen should brighten to help compensate. If your iPhone does not do this, then Restore iPhone with current iTunes on your computer. See if better. If still problem, make Genius reservation or set up Service and take or send to Apple for resolution under Warranty.

I have a new 27"ACD connected to a 27" iMac (2010) and cannot control brightness on the ACD. Also, the option to turn off the ambient light sensor is not available. Tanks for any help.

I have connected a new 27"ACD to a 27" iMac (2010) and cannot independently adjust brightness on the external display. Also, the option for turning off the ambient light sensor is not available. The iMac has the latest updates according to Apple messages. Any help will be appreciated.

No, Detect Displays had no effect. However, I made the USB connection from the ACD to the iMac after the system was on. Following a re-start, all controls are available. Thank you for your response.
