turn off the light and then use a flashlight directly over the lightsensor, did you applied an extra screen film protector?

yes sir i applied an xtra screen protector but the xtra doesnt cover the light sensor area. it has a hole on it so the sensor wont be covered.:smileycry:

it should work with only the pre installed screen protector on.

did you install some apps that may have disabled the light sensor?
