[QUOTE="NPuter, post: 674952, member: 34479"] Is it really the light sensor that does that or another proximity sensor. If it was the light sensor, what would happen if you were using the phone in a really dark place. EDIT: Just looked it up and it seams that the iPhone (I believe this goes for the original and 3G) has two sensors: a light sensor, and a proximity sensor...: "Hidden behind the dark glass above the earpiece of your iPhone are the other two sensors, the proximity sensor and the ambient light sensor. The proximity sensor deactivates the touch sensitivity and illumination of the iPhone’s screen when the phone is placed against your head, but only during a call. The ambient light sensor detects lighting conditions when your iPhone is unlocked, dimming the screen in dark places and brightening the screen in sunlight to make the display easier to see." -- [URL]http://www.theiphoneblog.com/2008/05/07/tip-o-the-week-outsmart-your-sensor/[/URL] [/QUOTE]
