Live With Walkman WT19i - Ambient Light Sensor not working

[Dexter1]

I purchased Live with Walkman 2 months back (in Jan12) and the Ambient light sensor is not working for me...also the screen starts flickering sometimes when I make the brightness level low (usually at 35 - 40% brightness level) to save battery life.

Also, I have installed "Battery Light Saver" application, and under Customisation option--> Under Screen Brightness section it says the sensor is not available. However, the Sony Support Documentation available on their website says there is a Ambient Light Sensor available for this Phone.

I have done factory reset, updated the firmware, repaired the new firmware but of no use....

This is my first Sony & Android phone, but never exected this kind of product from Sony...really frustrated now...will be visiting service centre tomorrow...

Seems to be harware issue and I have been given a DEFECTIVE PRODUCT...Is this problem faced by only me or are there more people facing problem...

Now I know that the problem is bcoz of the root access and not bcoz of sensor !!!

[Nabeel]

oh yea thats true
it says ambient light sensor not found because it does not have access to core files of system

[Nabeel]
