Screen dimming on Kaiser

My screen dims after about 10 seconds on every screen on my Kaiser. This is very annoying. Anyone else having that problem? Any fix for that? Thanks
change your backlight settings?

Auto brightness not working as it should?

I have been noticing that my auto brightness doesn't work like it did when I first got my phone a few months ago.
Back then it seemed like it changed brightness after a few seconds when it should.
Nowadays it doesn't seem to do that anymore.
Now if I hold my phone close to a bright light, hit the power button and unlock the phone, the screen is very bright, as it should. When I hold my phone in a dark place, it doesn't adjust the brightness. It keeps being very bright.
BUT, if I hold my phone in a dark place and hit the power button and unlock the phone, it's dark, but when I move my phone to a brighter location it does make the screen brighter.
I first thought this had to do with CM, but now on stock froyo it does the same thing.
Is this normal, and am I just mistaken? And should the phone adjust the brightness when I hold my thumb on the sensor thats just right under the power button on the front of the phone (I expect the screen to be less bright)? Because it doesn't do that.
Thanks in advance.
No it's not normal, mine reacts to changes in ambient light in a second or 2 (FRF50), just like yours used to.
When I cover the light sensor with my thumb, the screen dims right down.
Thanks for your reply.
Is there anything I can do to check why this doesn't happen on my phone?
Can I perform a check on the status of my sensor, on it's behavior?
And are there any known reasons why this could happen?
Thanks in advance.
This exact issue is happening with me ever since I updated to 2.2. It worked perfectly before but now I notice that once the screen adjusts to maximum brightness in a well lit area, it never dims....don't know what the problem is. But I hope there is a solution.
Good to hear I'm not the only one with problem, that gives me hope this might be a software issue rather than a non-working sensor.

Actually I may have to take this back, in retrospect, the dimming actually could have been the screen timing out.
When covering the sensor with my thumb and not having the screen set to 15secs, it doesn't dim until I lock/unlock the screen.
Reading on another forum this is by design rather than a flaw, as people complained the screen would fade in and out in certain light conditions... now it can't.
Ah, okay. Good to hear.
Thanks again, Rusty.
froyo seems to fix the autobrightness for me, at least now i can see the screen brightness is changing according to lighting condition, previously i don't notice it (using cyan ROM prior to froyo).

Z3C backlight problem (dim display)

Hi guys so the screen suddenly went dim and brightness wont work, opened up the back and used some pressure on the digitizer flex connector as you can see in the video here.

Now i'm wondering who's fault is and don't know if replacing the display will solve the issue.
What do you guys think?
I know when I have adaptive brightness on, my screen will do something similar to this where it won't go any brighter
Maybe try disabling Adaptive brightness?

LG V40 screen constantly dims..Auto brightness off

Hi,
Have had the V40 since release date. Feelings are mixed bag of frustrations.
My screen is constantly dimming and then going bright. Screen brightness is off. Is there anyone else experiencing this? Can anyone help?
I want to add this.... This problem seems to only happen out doors..bright sunny conditions....
Thanks!
I have the same thing, but it's a dimming before the screen goes dark ... it never comes back on brighter unless I touch the screen to keep it active, if I don't touch the screen it soon goes black.
Play with the screen saver settings in display, setting them to different times to see if that's your issue.

I see what you're saying. However that's not what I'm taking about. It's almost like a flicker... Almost like the screen is overheating and the screen is dimming to protect it.......
Have you used or are you using package disabler pro?

Question Screen stays off in sunlight

Hi. Me and my friend have same model and when we try to unlock our phone in clear sunlight or bright light area I hear unlock click but screen stays black like its not recovering from deep sleep or something. My friend and I tried to removed back cover and its working fine which is a weird thing here, don't know its related or not but its working. Is anyone having this same issue?

Sunlight mode will work only if auto brightness is off.
