That sensor is to detect the light condition during you use that phone...
For example.... you at outdoor noon time, sun shining.... and you use the phone under the sun.... the light sensor will tell your phone to adjust the screen brightness to maximum so you can see the screen clearly....

But if you at dark place, light sensor will tell your phone to adjust screen brightness to low...

This is wat the sensor do... and beside let you see clearly in according to light condition, it also help save battery energy

Not believe ? heheh try to cover your sensor by finger... see is it your screen brightness become dark , and try release it ...see it is the screen brightness become brighter...

by the way, in SE W850i manual did not mention about it....
and some of the people found that this function quite kacau , sadly is .... from old firmwre until now RIJG001 firmware still dun have disable manually function for this light sensor.

thank you for the information.
ya i did tried to cover up with my finger on last nite and found that it's really cool man..

secondly when you try to take pictures the light sensor will absorb the light so your picture wont be too dark..

ya.. the instruction manual didnt mention abt it..
that's i was so curious abt it.. last time my finger was katal and pressed it..
haha..luckily didnt spoil the thing..

i know wat's is it edi.. this phone really cool enough...
haha..

haha, same with me, 1st time i get the phone, i tot is power switch, keep pressing it...luckily it is tough enough...haha

Hahaha for me when i first time saw that sensor, i tought it was blinking light
which last time almost all Ericsson Phone also got one...

tell you that the phone is ON

we'd the same experience...
well.. until now i still cant perform the dancing light le..
keep pressing the orange bar.. till pek chek dun wan to try anymore..
hehe.. if not the orange bar will spoil.. haha..

nop, it's in my pocket and were in the car... it just ehat up for no reason... i tink it's short circuit or something wrong with the batt...

luckily the phone didnt blow off..
if not it will blow off your leg and your 3rd leg...
