Has anyone noticed their screen dimming from time to time? It's not much, maybe 10%, but it's noticeable when it happens. The only way to get it back to normal is a reboot.

*spoiler alert: No, I don't have the "automatically adjust" setting on*

Try the " Sunlight Readability" Setting ," Screen Time Out" Setting and carefully wipe the light sensor to ensure nothing or Screen Protector/Case is obstructing it.

Hope that Helps!!

Thanks, I wish it was as simple as a setting. I've had 10+ windows phones, and I've never had one act like this.

Hey are you still experiencing this issue? I just got my Lumia 1520 yesterday and i noticed it dim about 10% within the first few minutes of turning it on. All settings on HIGH along with all the other settings mentioned in this thread. It dims it jus enough that it doesn't look as spectacular as the reviews says it is.

Any advice?
:crying:

Yes, mine is still doing this. It's very frustrating. I've noticed a pattern where it happens when I open an app or view. For example: opening an email, unlocking the phone, starting Facebook. The screen is at normal brightness, then after 2 seconds it dims about 10-15%.

Ok I was afraid of that. Probably shouldn't be a big deal but I may return it within my 14 days. No sense in keeping a phone that works at 90% on an obvious asset of a great screen. Ugh

Mine only seems to dim when it's been sitting idle a few minutes and when I touch the screen it brightens up. Other than that I haven't noticed any dimming issues with my phone.

That is normal. What I'm talking about is different. It happens when you are using the phone, and it seems the only way to brighten it is to restart the phone.

Every once in a while, my screen will be really dim when unlocking the phone. Tapping the screen and swiping around doesn't make it brighter. About 30-sec. later, it'll go to the regular brightness (if I don't lock and re-unlock it immediately to "reset" the brightness), though. It's very random and doesn't happen enough for me to be concerned, thankfully.

I have all the settings turned off. I have to unlock the phone 4 or 5 times before it shows full brightness. Then it will only be full bright for a bout 10 seconds. It bothers me enough to take it back. I bought the phone for the brightness of the screen but if it wont stay full bright I wont keep it. I also have restored it 2 times and it didn't make a difference.
