Is the auto-backlight a joke?

[PaulQ]

On my Pro, the auto-backlight seems to maintain the backlight way too low. Is this the case for you?

Also - where is the sensor?

Thanks!

Mine is very low also, much more than the Droid I had previously. I also noticed that it will get brighter when necessary but it won't go back down unless I shut the screen off, then back on which seems to reset it.

Same here. Probably a bug...

Mine is also very low, though i like it. The bright screens annoy my eyes!

It was annoying to me too. I didn't like the auto setting, so I made my "daytime" profile setting much brighter and my nighttime setting much dimmer.

Guys don't you think that such issues (issues that everybody's having) should be reported to Motorola/Verizon? For example I've had one issue with the wife's Motorola Defy so I immediately reported it to Motorola, maybe it'll be fixed in the next release or whatever.

Motorola seems to save on QA and leave it to the consumers!

There's a a widget that allows you to control bluetooth, sync, brightness, etc etc,

Its convenient to just flip the brightness to high with the touch of a button when you need it.

Auto backlight is a joke. I'm thinking it may be because of overhead lighting in my office and home. Either way it is useless.

I think the auto back-light is designed to do help save your battery. It provides the minimum amount of back-light needed based on the amount of ambient light that the sensor can see. I haven't had any problems with it. It does what it supposed to. If you need a brighter screen turn the brightness up and leave it and sacrifice precious battery life.

This.... +1

The point is that its calibration is too poor. Autobright keeps me at a level equivalent to 3 or 4 steps in from the minimum on the manual slider. This is just too dark. I would love to use it but it's not practical.

I wish there was a way to keep auto bright but decrease its sensitivity.
