Doesn't work in Sunlight (screen )

[AC Question]

My phone works once I go inside a building and out of sunlight. It's just the screen that doesn't light up at all in sun light. Thanks

Are you sure it's off or you just can't see it because it's so bright? And you may have Auto Brightness enabled?

Welcome to AndroidCentral

Since the screen works inside perfectly, there is nothing wrong with your screen. I would agree with the comment above me with regards to the 'auto brightness' or 'adaptive brightness'.

Maybe your phone just isn't sensing there is now a lot of light around so the screen brightness isn't being turned up automatically. Maybe try putting the brightness up high while inside and then test outside to see if you can then see the screen.

You may have to turn on 'auto brightness' in the settings -> Display settings.

Hope this helps.
