Yes, I noticed the same thing, and this is why I wrote that I don't =

think it's PA's fault. However, sometimes my Wetab stops trying to =

adjust to the surrounding light and respects the user setting instead. I =

have no idea what causes the switch.
Iirc the original WeTab-OS had an option to switch the light sensor on =

and off. It would be nice if someone could find out what that option =

does in the background and switch it off in PA, but that's not a task =

for the core PA team, of course.
I guess that we'll have to file it under "Wetab is crap" and live with =

this for now.
