Hi guys

I have my Evo set to automatic brightness screen, how does this function work?
I dont see it getting brighter or dimmer.

Someone explain please.

thanks

There's a light sensor that determines how bright the screen should be. I notice it most at night in my bedroom, which is only half-lit. Sometimes it goes nuts and will brighten and dim, brighten and dim, even though the lighting in the room hasn't changed. Try it out in a semi-dark room.

Yea I see mine brighten and dim sometimes too and kind of annoys me. Wasnt sure if that was because of the 15-30sec screen timeout to concerve energy?

Just turn that off and use the Power Control widget to change your brightness. Easier IMHO.

Power control widget?

Yeah. That 1x4 widget that comes with your phone and has switches for Wi-Fi, BT, GPS, Sync, and Brightness.
