SPV Backlight

[Guest p0rt]

Hi Peeps, a bit of a newbie question for you. Is it normal for the backlight on the screen to dim slightly after a few seconds, i know that the backlight times out after a certain for obvious reasons, but after accessing any menu item the backlight dims very slightly a few seconds later.

Thanks

Chris

Mine does that aswell!!

I think it's just a way of power saving

I know I'm being picky, but I think it's actually a FRONTlight.

Yes, the dimming thing is normal :D .

I find most of the time that the backlight is way way too bright. I used it in the cinema yesterday to find my way to our seats - surely this is overkill? When the handset starts power saving and dims the backlight, that level of brightness is easily enough for using the phone is most conditions.

Agreed - Should definately be customisable...

If I want to use my phone in bed at night, when my baby son is asleep, I have to use it under the covers or else it wakes him up!

Also, if I am driving down unlit country roads at night, and my wife is using the phone in the passenger seat, I find it very distracting - had to tell her not to a couple of times...

It is handy as a backup torch tho :D

maybe this will be addressed in a software update?
