Help Light Sensor Broken?

[Rodent]

Seems like the light sensor is jacked, or the phone is. The screen will go from looking normal to dimming too almost unreadable(unless in a dark room). Even if I set the screen brightness to full and turn off auto screen it still does it.

Anyone else seen this happen? Seems to be a few times a day.

Ideas?

Btw this is Verizon SG3 2 days old.

its very touchy, even the proximity sensor was getting annoying when I was trying to type in my voicemail password the screen would black out

Download "Android Sensor Box" from the play market. Select "Light Sensor". This test should show a high lux (120+ for example) in a brightly lit room and 0.0 in complete darkness.

I think it's the Auto brightness and the Auto adjust screen tone fighting it out for control over the screen brightness. I turned off both and don't have the ups and downs I used to. Both settings are in the Display section of Settings. You might try just turning off screen tone and see if that helps.

There's also an auto brightness in the browser and video player that make these apps appear dull.

Sooo I'm having the same problem and my light sensor isn't reading anything over a 45. Is there some way to fix this?
