Bought a G4, got an ugly dim screen. Got a replacement, ugly dim screen.
However, before I send this second disaster back I realize that the screen seems to be fine until I sync or "restore" from my G3 via either a Google account sync or a straight restore from a backed up G3.
The problem seems to be something that my backup is telling the phone to do.
My G3's screen dimming was such nuisance that I went into the hidden menu and turned on the High Temperature Property and the Thermal Daemon Mitigation.
That blocked the phone from being crazy agressive on the auto dimming but I feel like my G4 has somehow picked that up from my back up because the screen now has the trademark Mitigation flicker that my G3 does when I land on a new screen/app/page/etc.
I found the hidden menu on the G4 but cant see the two properties I would like to verify. Until I find it, I'm either stuck with a yellowish dimmed screen or just send it back and cut my losses.
If you happen to know what Im talking about, do chime in. Thx
