    Gotta say, one of the coolest features about the new Envy 15 is the proximity sensor. I love walking back to my computer and having the keys light up gradually.

    ANYWAYS, I was wondering if anyone tweaked their proximity sensor to, for example, turn on the screen (after the screen gets turned off when you dont use it for x amount of time).

    Also, it would be nice if the proximity sensor would turn your brightness back to normal (after getting reduced when your computer isnt used for x amount of time).


    Finally, gotta say I'm really loving everything about this computer. Even bought a few keyboard skins (white, red, and black + a clear one for backlight). And I'm gonna wrap the outside + most of the inside of the laptop with CF lol.

    HP needs to write a driver/programme for that functionality. Likely the function was scrapped.
