I've had my phone for 2 weeks. Yesterday I was outdoors and it was cloudy. I pulled my phone from my pocket and there was no display. Initially I believed it had turned off. I then realized it was on, but that the brightness was light, lighter than when on 0%. I could barely see the readout. I was able to go to brightness and bring it up so it was readable. I restarted and the problem appears to be gone. Anyone else observe this problem?

I had to replace a few cappys form bricking and shutdowns. The current one works but I noticed something a tad odd. Previously, I'd set my phone down and go to sleep and remember the home lights not being on...at all. Once I put it to sleep it would be tough to find it in the dark room because everything was dark including the home lights at the bottom. The refurb I have, I noticed yesterday morning, have the home light strip at the bottom turned on when its asleep. Initially, when I put it to sleep, its off. but yesterday and today when I woke up..there's my phone...bottom set of lights on. Im not sure if this is by design of some kind of trick on teh refurb to stop it from shutting down of what...anyone notice anything similar. I would think that if its asleep all the lights should be off.
note this is while it is unplugged.
Since you didn't tell us anything about your phone setup, I'm going to guess that you have a kernel that enabled the backlight notifications.
doh..good point. Didnt even think about that..running cognition 2.1.7 unhelpful.
So when I'm on a call there's a red rapidly blinking LED light though its very dim. Anyone else notice this? Any mods?
It's the proximity sensor. When the phone is close to your face or turned upside down the screen turns off.
I had this happen last night, but I wasn't on a call at all. I just happened to see it (the room was dark so the dim LED was visible). It persisted for a while but by morning was gone. Battery wasn't low at that point (though it had been earlier in the day) so I was hoping there'd be more insight about it today. =)
Has anyone else experienced the phone when first turned on being bright only to have it flicker after about 5 seconds and get a bit more dim? That's my biggest complaint with this phone. I have found out last night that while I had no lights on in the house it was not happening. Tried it again this morning and same thing. Works fine. But I turned on the lights and it happens again. I have the display at 100% with no automatic brightness. I hope it's not a hardware issue and just software.
So this has only happened twice, but twice is enough. For some reason while charging the phone, the help screen comes on, the screen is on full brightness and the flashlight/led is active. No one has touched the phone whilst charging and it only seems to happen occasionally. Anyone else having this strange issue?
sounds like a defective device or a bug in the system. I would reflash and test again

yep, if the high brightness mode has been enabled (by light sensor or custom software) since the June update.
I am on a custom rom which has february firmware.Not enabled HBM.And phone was water damaged 2 months ago.Can it be hardware damage?
I just had my phone returned from Google after being repaired for this issue and the green flickering has begun again.
More and more reports coming in.
Well that's fun... My screen is defective
Started noticing the other night that when I was on certain sites that I would get streaks down the screen. They moved with the text on the screen and it was worse with white backgrounds. Now when my screen goes on or off, the edges flash green...

It's ridiculous.. this should not be happening. I had it repaired and it's still flickering.
