Hi,

Since a couple of days I've noticed that my screen flickers sometimes.
Mostly when I'm moving my hand while holding the phone...

Is it possible that the light sensor auto adjusts my screen brightness ?
If so, how can I turn it off ?

Thanks in advance,

Niels

I'm sure now that it is not a problem with the screen, it's the light sensor..
I was standing near a window and put my finger several times on the sensor and it clearly adjusted the screen brightness automatically.
Glad that it's not a problem with the screen, now we've only have to find a solution.:p

EDIT :
Oh, forgot to mention this :
I found a widget that you can add to your homescreen "On/Off backgroundlight". (not sure of the name though because my language is set to Dutch)
It's the first widget in the widgets list..
If you turn off the backgroundlight with this widget the screenbrightness is not adjusted automatically anymore ;)
Downside is, the screenbrightness is then set as low as possible. But that's fine for the evening :)

Grts,

Niels
