It does this, but i don't get it, if you go in a dark room, it goes dim too, but you would think if it goes bright it goes dim to compensate. Please explain someone lol

If you go into the sun it lights up so you get a better contrast. In darker environments, it is not that bright so it won't glare you.

Its the bright sunshine thing where it helps to see it better. I hate the bloody things would rather control brightness myself. Its irritating makes screen look dull indoors when you dont want it to. I know its supposed to save battery but in reality its very minimal. When you consider the features on phones that drain batteries whats the point. I would rather have shorter battery with brighter screen. My c510 does not have sensor and battery is fine.

lol, I don't get it either, apparently that's what it's supposed to do. I also thought if was dark, you'd want the screen to be brighter. And if it was bright, you'd rather want the screen to be dark, seeing that there already is an "external light"

Ever tried to take a look outside the window at night with the lights on in your room?

ahan, so in sunlight you'd want your phone screen to be dimmer than usual? makes sense

Thats right.
In a dark room you would notice anything that is illuminated - even a weak candle flame - quite easily. Can you say you would notice the same flame on a bright sunny beach? It would probably be near enough impossible.
On a sunny day the phone's screen will have to be made brighter in order to be noticed because everything around it is also very bright.
The mobile phone's screen is probably the greatest user of battery power so any way on reducing this consumption will make quite a difference.
Introducing the 'proximity sensor' - which would dim the screen entirely if pressed to the side of your face - would also go some way to saving the phone's battery power.

But my phones screen brightness without the sensor is bright enough to be seen indoors and in sunlight.

Personally, I hate the feature! I'd rather control it myself also. Besides, why don't manufacturers make it an option, eg, if you don't want it you turn off the feature. It irritates the hell out me on my W890i!
