just got my n810 today and love it so far but i was wondering is there any way to disable the ambient light sensor? the screen seems dark to me when browsing in dark room i noticed if i point the sensor toward a bright light the screen gets brighter how can i keep it at that brightness all the time?

I was wondering about that aswell. Been trying to decide whether to ask about it so thanks for getting there first! It doesn't make sense that it goes dull when there's less light. I'm always getting it in shadow and then having to move around to point it into the light

Well pardon me if Im wrong, but isnt that what the ambient light sensor is supposed to do? If the screen goes dark in bright light you wont see it because of the reflection. So it compensates and brightens the screen. Plus you dont need full brightness in a darker room. Its a waste of battery.

waste to u maybe , regardless there should be a option to turn it off

I dont have an 810 but you are right, there should be an option to turn it off. Its probably hard coded in the software.

for me, it's that I often hold the N810 in such a way that my thumb ends up blocking the light sensor ... so, yeah, it'd be nice to be able to disable teh light sensor.

Or maybe I should just put some electrical tape over it, and turn the brightness up.

my brightness is all the way up but it still seems dark compared to other devices ive used . once it brightness bc of the sensor its fine
