On my HTC Desire X I am having problem that sometimes after using camera, screen brightness does not return to normal value, to resolve I have to restart handset.
This only happens sometimes after using camera.
Can anybody confirm this and / or provide solution?
Thanks!

have you applied the updates from htc. some have reported this brightness issue had gone after they had updated. the latest update is 1.18.XXX.3
XXX is the region code depending on your location.
I already had 1.181.707.3 but still facing the same issue.
Same for me, but I can live with that.

I've found a way around, installed 'Velis Auto Brightness' and it solved the issue.
But I am really hoping for HTC to fix this bug.

Looking for an app that uses the camera LED as a flashlight. There are tons of those for the desire and N1 but I can't seem to find one for the Legend.
legend has to be rooted before you can do that, theres a guide here on the forum to root your legend.
btw search before making and entire new post there was just one similar few days ago
nexus one torch works if your legend is rooted :b

Lamppu (LED Torch) works on rooted phones.
Is it even a good idea to use a LED as a flashlight? I had a Samsung U700 before which somehow got broken. Whenever I turned it on the LED would turn on without any possibility to turn it off - unless I would use a hammer. Anyway after a while the LED went more blue-ish and besides that it got terribly hot whenever it was turned on for more than 10 seconds. I really doubt that it has any positive effect on the surrounding hardware - aka your entire HTC Legend!
@Tomm't: I don't think so - I've been using Lamppu (Thanks heaps, Dzondu!) for a few days now - fuse blows a lot at my house - and I've experienced no overheating problems or not turning off problems. Only problem I've had is reduced battery life due to the necessity to call the Camera API before you call the flash-light API (AFAIK, I'm no expert but I think that's correct).
Then again maybe I'm just using it more. Both are possible.

You don't need to run camera, just Lamppu itself and should work
I know you don't need to start the camera app, I mean that the Lamppu app makes an API call for the camera, effectively starting it up so it's sensing, and then turn on the flashlight with a second API call. AFAIK that's how it works and is the only way to make it work, so I meant that if you use the flashlight it basically starts the camera and just doesn't display the image, which takes battery power.

This is the Legend forum??
There is this app too, call Incredilight, works also on rooted Legends
froyo 2.2 has an official HTC flash light application ..
I have been using Lamppu and found some minor bugs..
After i have used it a couple of times the camera wont start, not with the LED turned on or off.. doesn't matter if i turn it off and try the camera, not even killing camera app solves the problem. The only solution i found was to reboot the phone.

Am I the only one having problems with the Proximity Sensor on the Atrix? I can't seem to get it to kick in when on a call. I have already dial-toned a couple of people when talking on the phone. I have tried covering up the sensor by placing the palm of my hand over the to 1/2 of the phone and it never kicks in.
Can someone verify for me that it does work and not some software bug.
Thanks,
Ed
Did you ever find the problem? My proximity sensor has stopped working also.
i am having an issue with mine too. at first i thought it was an issue with the screen not coming back on, but now i realize that the proximity sensor is not turning off the screen at all and my screen is just turning off when the screen timeout value is reached.
my phone is rooted, i have used titanium backup to freeze some of the apps associated with blur, and i have installed the hack to use webtop mode. can others that have this issue confirm if they are running stock or modified software?

Any of you guys ever find a fix for this? I just noticed that mine is not working anymore either. It's rooted using aRoot but it was working for a while and now it doesn't anymore. I have another couple of days to exchange in store if I want to if it's a phone issue.
Crap, I'm having the same issue now too -- was working fine since I had it, but this occured just today, Day-2 of using 1.5.7 .... wonder if it's related ...

Reboot seems to fix this -- but annoying >_<
Is anyone that is having these issues using bluetooth? I have isolated mine to bluetooth and sent an issue report to Motorola.
same problem here but not using bluetooth
My wife's Atrix does the same thing. "dials or hangs up while in a call". She does not own a bluetooth headset and I have only connected a Motorola 305 one time to it. Reboot fixes the problem. Reboot seems to take forever when compared to my Dell Streak.

Hi I believe I traced the problem with the proximity sensor not working to Handcent SMS. On two separate Atrixes, as soon as I uninstalled Handcent and rebooted the phone the problem went away and stayed away. I have since installed GoSMS and now it happens just sometimes (usually after I install a new app) but a reboot after installing an app ususlly fixes it.
My Phone has a standard Telstra (Australia ROM) and is not unlocked or modified in any way.

If you are using unlocked bootloader or if u have unlocked the dim using a code then u will have to disable the In Pocket detection and then try sounds crazy but worked for me.

Similar issue
Just installed latest stable build onto my Atrix 4G, everything seemed fine last night, although I was using phone with bluetooth, this morning get a call, answer, screen goes dark, red proximity light comes on, and I can hear no sound, [later on the caller said he could hear me fine].
Phone would not wake up right off, and when it did it I still could not hear caller.
Been screwing around with settings all morning to no avail, discovered that the phone will only work with bluetooth device connected. without bluetooth the device goes dark, cannot wake up, have to hard reboot, with bluetooth and volume button awaken enabled, it performs normally, so possible connection to issues in post with proximity but with a bluetooth twist...

I have been using my S2 since the beginning of February 2012 and have not noticed at any time other than when making calls that the proximity sensor was activated (dull red glow). Just last night I noticed that the sensor seems to be activated all the time now, screen on, calling, whatever...
It of course turns off when the S2 is turned off. When booting back up it does not get enabled again until the end of media scanning.
Any ideas how to check which app or process is enabling this when it is not necessary nor wanted?
Shameless bump. Surely somebody has an idea what variable is involved or what program I can use to change the behavior?
Try after a fresh install with full wipe if it happens

Well I don't know why, but the sensor has stopped running continuously without any intervention. Thanks for the reply.
I had a similar problem and I found out it was an app causing that - viber.
Probably it was the same with you.

I've had this problem with my Xperia Z2 since I've owned it. I've had firmware 402 and now 314 and it's still the same.
The problem is that when I'm in a call, the proximity sensor works and turns the screen off but the digitizer does not turn off! So while I'm talking and pressing my face against the phone it detects input and sometimes I even hangup on people.
Anyone else experience this issue or have any suggestions on how to troubleshoot this?
Hi. I had the same problem. So I installed an app called "call screen lock". That solved it for me.

You can use the work around until it is fixed or suffer the bug. Why not complain to Sony?
