iPhone 6S on 11.3. I just replaced the rear camera assembly and the front camera+light sensor+earphone assembly with third-party parts (on a moving train, I might brag). Everything works except the auto-brightness setting disappeared. I did Erase Settings and it's still gone. I'm wondering if:

- I didn't place the light sensor correctly

- I touched it/ruined it

- the part is defective

- Erase All Content & Settings options is absolutely necessary

Last year, another brand of barbarism, which happens to be state-sanctioned, also rubber-stamps public stoning, decapitation, floggings and has notorious religious police, expressed sour grapes for being left out that Daesh gets more wingnutter YouTube and chat-room credit for gratuitous murder, mayhem, raping, enslavement and pillaging. Religions vie for converts, money and state support.
