Ok, so when it's really bright outside my lcd is not bright enough to see and when I'm in my bedroom with the light on, the lcd is way to dark to see as well. The Auto brightness isn't really working I don't.... I want it to go to full dark when there's very very low light and full bright when there's a lot of light. That doesn't sound to difficult, right?
THANKS
Hi , i found a bug on Nokia Lumia 800 BrightnessSetuo.
If you diseablle Automatic Brightness, and put it manual on medium or high, the three touch Buttons dont have light, only when Brigthnes is on Automatic or on Low (manaal) wrok.
I hope nokia fix these bug soon.

This is not a bug this is a fix given by nokia to increase battery performance.
I also thought it was a bug but checked the nokia forums and in the change log of the latest update it is mentioned that the bottol capacitive button keys only light up if you have ur brightness set to low or auto
My believe is that is is by design. If you're in a place dim enough to struggle to see the capacitive keys, you'll not be using med or high brightness as it will blind you.
Likewise, when you're outside and needing a higher brightness, the ambient light will easily be enough to see the capacitive keys.
I almost always have brightness on low so this change doesn't really affect me. Medium brightness hurts my eyes in darker environment. The only time I crank it up to medium is when I'm outside. Sometimes I'm even on low outside if it's not too light. I never think I will use the highest brightness setting.

blah blah blah....sorry, but you are not representative for 99% of all users. Nice for YOU that YOU prefer low brightness. But most of us users like at least medium brightness in darker areas because the AMOLED contrast and colours are bad and washed out when in low brightness mode. I want to decide myself if i have the button lights on/off with medium or bright display settings.
Finally this "update" is a reason for me not to buy the lumia 800...shame on nokia!

Neither are you.
Did I say you have to use what I use? No. I simply stated my personal preference. No need to jump all over me. Calm down.
Have you guys tried Auto brightness?
It goes all the way to minimum brightness if you use the phone in the dark.
The bottom buttons are lit up too.
I tried out the auto brightness for the first time today. Seems to work well. It places itself in between low/mid brightness in an ordinary lit room which is fine for me. And as you say the bottom buttons are always lit even if the brightness goes up to full strenght.
Think I'm gonna use auto brightness a bit more and see if it behaves good at all times.
Hi guys...
How is everyone?
Kindly see the following two pics.
When the focus is on the tubelight the screen goes all yellow and thus the resulting pic as well.
but when I covered the tube light with my hand IT returns to normal the actual colour that is there.
Do any of you guys have this problem how should I get my unit replaced?
Is this even a problem or normal white balance stuff?

It's plainly not a problem.
You may find a similarly serious "fault" where your photo comes out black if you cover the lens with your finger while taking the shot

Sorry, didn't mean to sound so chippy. The fact of it is though that this is not a problem. The phone's software adjusts depending on lighting conditions so when you change the lighting it's gonna change its behaviour. Go take some pics in daylight and other real world conditions if you want to confirm whether it's operating correctly. You can always find ways to catch these algorithms out with artificial situations

I didn't wanna run out of my replacement period and then realise that I should have acted
Yes, this is not a problem, a reviewer showed how the camera reacted when photo was taken from two different angles, at one angle green color was dominant while on different angle it was not.

If you happen to still have your Poco, this condition is NOT a hardware nor a white balance problem on Poco. This is a normal behaviour of the flourescent lighting especially when the camera is using fast shutter speed. The yellowing is a phenomenon in which the camera captures the lower portion of the flicker curve, in laymans term, when the light has just turned ON and is not on its peak power yet.
But why was it using fast shutter speed? It should use low shutter speed!
You have a camera with a sensor that can capture huge amount of light at a given intensity and has the capability to use fast shutter speed in order to not blind itself (to not overblown the image). If you ever do use a slower shutter speed, there is a huge probability of the image of being overblown or for the moving subjects to have trails. You could still make some few adjustments in manual mode.
But my old smartphone renders the proper white color!
It is true, it renders white colors because it might be having a lower aperture, smaller sensor or even smaller photocells. To put it simply, it is using slower shutter speeds because it is what it can do and it is doing well with flourescent. It is not being blinded by the light because its camera configuration is not advanced enough to capture more light on a given amount of intensity, does slow shutter speed.
Put this into your mind: At a given constant white balance, a magnetic ballast flourescent lamp will still emit yellow tint/cast whenever the camera is using fast shutter speed. This is NOT an issue of the camera itself but a limitation of of the light source itself because advanced camera systems were now fast enough to capture its low power phase/state.
This phenomenon DOES show on full flrame cameras ie Nikon D90 and Canon Rebel XSI 450d, due to them having bigger sensors therefore using even more faster shutter speed. This doesn't mean that they're defective.
This phenomenon DOES NOT show on high frequency lamps such as midrange LEDs and mostly Flourescents with electronic ballast.

Thanks for the explanation! I'm having some problems in places with that type of lights but not when pointing to them, just taking a normal picture, same picture can have that yellow tint, or not, just changing from one camera to the other one or moving around the photo a little bit....
I have strange issues with the camera which gives me a bluish light reflection when shooting in relatively low light situation. Is this normal or do I have a defective hardware? This happens regardless camera software/app being used. However, this does not happen in brighter condition. Is there any workaround to overcome this?
Auto brightness in stock miui is too bad in low light conditions. Will installing custom kernel help to solve this issue or not?
If so, can you suggest me the suitable kernel?
Define too bad... Too bright or too dimmed?

dimmed. because of that you need to adjust the default degree of auto brightness in low light conditions manually.
Dimmed comparingly to what? To your ex phone? When I bought Pocophone it is considerably more dimmed than my ex p8 lite but in fact I think this is much more healthfull for the eye and I am pretty sure it is designed that way o purpose, so this doesn't make it bad... Probably our/yours perceptions are bad. Be generous to your eyes.
