I'm just full of stupid questions with this phone, but I'm trying to learn

About the light sensor.....is it just me, or am i thinking backwards?

When you are in a dark surrounding, shouldn't the light sensor detect the darkness and make the screen brighter? I have found that sitting in a room with low lighting, the screen actually gets darker, and thus harder to see. Am I thinking about this incorrectly? I've tried a few demo Heros as well, and if you completely cover the light sensor (next to the earpiece), the phone's screen gets very dim. Expose it to light, and it goes back to a useable brightness.
