I'm on my 2nd SGS phone. The 1st one I took back after 3 weeks when it started powering completely down randomly - even during a phone call.

So, I got a new phone, and after 2 weeks, I began to notice the screen would dim intermittently, and then go back to full brightness, and go back and forth. I notice this behavior about 50% of the time.

The guys that sold me the phone said when his phone does stuff like this, he re-seats the battery, and the problem goes away - until the next time of course :-)

I tried this, and the problem didn't go away at all. Happen right after I powered it back up.

Anyhow 2 questions:
1. wondering if others have run into this, and if so is there some sort of work aournd or did you have to swap the phone out or:
2. would you characterize this type of behavior as "normal" for smart phones - something you should have to live with? Phone guy at the store seems to think this way, but of course he's selling phones.

Thanks,
Ed

Can you try setting it not to auto-adjust?
