just wondering what people think about this - im finding whenever I open my email the screen flashes bright for half a second and then dims down. anyone know why this is? is it design? a glitch? power surge? is the brightness limited to save power? (if so where is the diagnostic setting to change it ?)
it does it even on full brightness.
just seems a little weird is all!
That's because of the Amoled-screen.
When displaying a bright white background, the power consumption of the AMOLED-screen goes through the roof. Therefore, whenever a large white area is detected, the screen brightness is automatically decreased.
It's not just in the EMail-application but always when the background is white.

Hi,
i have a problem with my three days old HD. Besides the fact it seems to be much slower than it should be, the problem is the screen goes dim after a while. I'm not talking about it going black after a while, like it's supposed to, but in normal working mode it just kinda becomes darker, kinda like notebook screen goes a little dim when you unplug it from power. When i turn it on, it looks ok, but after a while, mostly after it first time goes black due to inactivity, the screen looks dimmed, no matter what i do, and after a few minutes it returns to normal, without any apparent reason, kinda random. At first i thought it might be something in HDTweak, so i did the factory reset, but it's happening again. Any ideas?
Try disabling the light sensor. It is supposed to adjust the screen brightness automatically, depending on the external light conditions. You can disable it in 'Energy', under Start -> Settings.
Well, it sort of works. When i disable the light sensor, i get the screen for adjusting the light on battery and AC. When i adjust the slider for battery, the screen lights up and it's ok. But, the moment the device locks itself (via HDTweak setting, the only thing i adjusted in HDTweak, it dims, and when i unlock it, it's still dimmed. Then when i again go into light sensor setting and press on the slider, it lights up. I don't understand what's going on. Faulty device maybe?
Also try changing the settings in the advanced tab.
Adding a minute or reducing a minute here seems to kickstart the device - and the annoying screen dimming goes away.

I've noticed that my Fascinate's screen dims before going dark. Is there any way to disable this behavior? I use keep phone overnight in a desk dock, running the app 'Bedside' to display an extremely dim clock. The phone's automatic 'dimming' actually seems to brighten black portion of the screen a tiny amount.
I've messed around with the display settings, but thusfar had no success. Does anyone know of a workaround?
When I adjust screen brightness to the minimum level ,I notice screen is blinking like a power cut occurring in the browser. Is this normal?

Here is the thread for the issue, sadly it isn't rare at all...
I've searched and seen few post about this, but not much more information, I've rooted and installed cyagenmod 11, an started noticing, for example opening a folder, on the home screen, the brightness of the screen increases for a second, and then decreases, or scrolling thru instagram, or something u can notice the screen gets bright, dims a lil slightly, depending on whats being displayed on the screen, darker images, vs white backgrounds .etc, I just flashed back to stock, and notice it does the same.
I have auto brightness turned off, and brightness set around 40-60 %, is this a defect? software issues? or what.. wanna make sure before I send this back..
Thanks
Hello guys,
To save battery thru screen use as much white background as possible cuz LCD Screen uses White pixel backlight and white will use less battery,, it's the complete opposite of amoled screen while they use black pixel.
To save battery more turn on gps but device only, cuz the Google play services (locations)
Use the wifi and network to share the location, so leave it at device only and the GPS will be offline until you use an app needs GPS
More tips I will share,
Thanks
this with lcd screen is bull****. only way to save battery on display is to set brightness down.
backlight for the whole screen makes the light, not the pixels itself like on amoled.
He actually is true but the effect is so low it doesn't matter.
To Display a black (or dark) image the LCD needs to block the backlight (which is always on) and this in fact requires more energy than letting the light pass and displaying a white screen.
