Every time I go into a darker room the screen dims and gets bright again when I leave to a brighter area. I'm thinking it's a battery saving feature, which is cool. Is there a way to turn this light sensor off so my screen will stay bright no matter what the light environment? Thank you!!
The above post definitely points you in the correct direction to change the settings of your backlight.
However, it has been my experience, and the experience of several others, that no matter what setting you have your backlight on, the ambient light sensor will take over and do what it wants. So good luck with that.

Thanks. I wanted to thank the people above, but how do I select all quotes? I see in some peoples replies they have several quotes in a single response. How do I do that? Thanks!!
Use the multi-quote feature. It is the little icon with the quotation marks to the left of the quote button.
To the right-->> LOL!
I have a ? Why does this feature seem to bug so many people? Is it just a distraction or what? It doesn't bother me at all. IDK just curious.

Form what I can tell, it's actually built into the screen. I've tried covering up different parts of the BB to see what does it, and nothing I've tried effects it. Then Googled for quite a while with no definitive answer, other than several sites mentioning the "screen that has a light sensor".
yeah I just did a little testing, it seems to be either in the LED light or somewhere near that.
If you cover up the LED, you'll notice the screen dims in bright light.
I did this test, right now its about 2pm and the room has normal daylight, no lights no nothing other than the computer screen. So what I did was turned on a light to make the room brighter, and covered up certain parts of the phone, it turns out, its around the LED indicator, I'm guessing in the LED spot. Who knows tho?

Try it out and post your results.
I have found the same thing through testing... I was going to post and saw you had already!!
The ambient light sensor is built into the LED activity light!
I wonder if the LED light has any ill effects on the sensor if you have a waiting message, etc. hmmm...
