About two weeks ago I turned on my Auto Brightness. Last week the screen just started going dim randomly. To be clear, its so dim I can't see anything unless its at a particular angle. Also (depending on how bright the screen was prior to going dim) if I apply pressure to the sides of my phone, just above the Menu and the red End button, the screen will become bright again. Since then I have turned off Auto Rightness and performed a hard reset yet the problem still occurs. Can someone please help me?
It hasn't been dropped, or been subjected to moisture of any kind. I've only had it for about two months. It was a replacement from Asurion Insurance. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Anyone? Any ideas? Haha, I'm desperate!

Auto brightness on our phones hasn't really been all that great, I've had random dimming or it'll go super bright in a dark room. mostly the issue is that auto brightness on phones is not all that great, they don't monitor the brightness of your surrounding but rather your face and that's where the problem lies.
My Auto Brightness isn't enabled. Yet the screen still goes super dim.

Make sure it isn't on, because it shouldn't happen if you have it set to a custom level
Haha damn, don't like the sound of that. Thanks for the help!

People I bought a new note three days back..the phone is absolutely awesome...but I have a very irritating bug on the screen..whenever the screen has to display grey colours it appears very bad and this spoils the beauty of the screen...it happens in videos as well...any help?

There are some issues with black/grey gradients in certain conditions, the question is if what you have is typical or worse,
I'd suggest searching the forum for "black crust", and checking the thread on Galaxy Note screen issues

There is also a new bug after updating to ICS DDLPY8version.when screen comes to landscape mode the left side where the notification bar remains has a color imprint in dull.so when u turn landscape the notification panel part remains visible in dull color same as screen color.its like a imprint which remains always and visible only on deep insight.

Just noted that I have maybe a defective screen (or GPU?).
Sometimes when using apps like XDA, browsing or apps with a lot of white background I noticed black lines (1pixel width).
When you holding in portrait mode their appear on the bottom side of he screen, and are horizontal. Always very fast, they appear and then go very fast. Sometimes its only one horizontal line,sometimes two.
When you hold in landscape mode they appear on the whole screen (vertical lines). It happened to me know two times while typing this post.
I'm full stock, not rooted. I have the power plug on and charging, maybe some power oscillation? Will see if happens without charger.

I thought I was going crazy when I noticed this! I legitimately see black lines down the screen for about a second just slightly out of my peripheral, and then they're gone.
Happens on xda and chrome, it's a known problem. Some people say other kernels help get rid of it. I think it's just a software bug.

Same issue here.

I also noticed these kind of lines. It happened while watching some videos on YouTube. Also on XDA, portrait mode, on the upper side of the screen. Anyone has a software solution for this? I am just afraid not to get some permanent lines like this.

So... seems like that the problem appears for me only when I'm charging.
Anyone can confirm that the lines appears without charger plugged in?

Yes, the lines appear without charging.

Happens to my Nexus 7 also. They appear very briefly, like for half a second. Usually in the bottom half of the screen (I can't even tell if it appears at the same spot - it appears so briefly, but I do think I have seen it once or twice in the upper half). I have seen it on xda app, Tapatalk app, and Chrome blank page. I think I may have seen it on the home screen also.
On my Tapatalk app I turned the background to dark gray and font to white, but I have still seen it 1-2 times, so it doesn't just happen with white backgrounds.
Don't know if its a software issue and can be fixed with updates or should I get it exchanged? It will be hard to make the store understand what the problem is since it is quite rare, happens to me only a couple of times a day or so (although I have been playing Angry Birds extensively recently to see if it app specific or not, and I have yet to see on Angry Birds - I actually have not seen it anywhere for the last couple of days since I started playing AB).
I only get them in the Tapatalk app. And it doesn't happen often enough to be annoying so I don't really care.
Here here!!
Had them on Tapatalk, dolphin browser and on Plume to name a few. Like others said though, they ain't frequent tto become a PITA but are still noticeable.

I swear these threads are going to appear every week talking about the same problems that have already been discussed many times over.
As said many times before, this is a common issue with tegra 3. The one x line flickering was fixed with an update.
Or you can download a custom kernel with an increased panel clock rate and be happy.
So anybody else have screen raise on the left or is it just me???? just messing.

Saw it on Angry Birds too. So its just not on xda or Tapatalk apps.

A custom kernel does fix it. I had this problem until I flashed the motley kernel and it went away. Then I when I went to the paranoid android ROM I didn't know at the time but it changed my kernel back to stock... I didn't realize it had changed until I noticed the lines again. So far I have used the Trinity kernel and motely's and both have solved the screen tearing problem. If you don't want to flash a custom kernel I'm sure google will fix it in a future update. Thankfully its not a hardware problem.

Really happy that the problem can be fixed with a software update.

Yep, I've seen it happen with the xda app, and it looks like it flickers a line for a second and goes away.

It will come back... just watch a youtube video for example and it will be back.
If you are rooted install trickster mod, you will find a setting to disable the smart dimmer

Sorry what I meant was that my Nexus 7 for the past 3 months has been washed out it was experience ghosting which is a common problem but after I went to safe mode and rebooted the device I no longer have any issues. It is as if put into safe mode recalibrated the screen. If anyone is experiencing the problem I had try going to safe mode then turning the device of overnight. Let me know if this works because it had work for me.

Anyone else had slight screen flickering? I can only notice it on white backgrounds but once you notice it, it's hard to not notice it!

I changed my phone 3 times because of this. 4th seems to be working fine. No issues on white things. 3uk.

Saw some very mild flickering once or twice on the keyboard area when using DejaOffice.
I have seen the brightness change look like it's flickering. But not flickering in the sense the one x was last year.
