Screen dimming after .230 install
- So after I installed .230 my screen is dim. So dim its almost black. If I reboot it then its fully bright but as soon as it goes to black (30 sec later)... I hit the screen to bring up the main screen and the screen is almost black again. I went to the settings to make the screen not dim at all but sure enough... it keeps doing it.
Is this a bug or a known issue. Been looking forward to 5.0.0.230 but so far it's not living up to the hype that everyone else is making it up to be. Oh and when texting... the thing that pops up to suggest a word to use... ANNOYING!!!
Any tips would be great!

- I have it but not nearly as bad as you are describing.
Try going to Options> Screen/Keyboard and change backlight brightness to 100, Auto dim to off.
Mine also dims with .230 but not to the point where it is almost black. Maybe setting the brightness higher will limit the amount it dims.09-23-09 08:18 PMLike 0 - 09-23-09 10:30 PMLike 0
- actually its not really a bug at all. Its been that way in all the OS's. People just didnt realize it. If fact it was that way on .148 if I remember correctly. If you are in a dim room and you turn your phone to landscape it will dim so its not blindingly bright.09-23-09 10:57 PMLike 0

What I find interesting is that people say they have a hard time seeing anything. I keep my brightness level at 10 all the time and even at it's dimmest I can see it fine.09-23-09 11:34 PMLike 0 - It's much more severe now than previous builds and seems more random. Sometimes it dims just a little and sometimes it dims a LOT. On the plus side it doesn't blind me when I'm in bed now and it makes the clock easier to have on next to the bed.

LOL! I certainly don't have any trouble seeing it, but there is a HUGE difference. It would probably be the equivalent of going from 100 to 40, except it starts at 10 and goes down from there. Um, -50? I actually think 10 is too bright though, so less is good to a point.09-23-09 11:46 PMLike 0
