I have an epic that seems to go from dim to bright when I first wake it up and also from dim to black when I press the power button to put it to sleep. Is this normal?
Any help would be great.

Anyone? I'm not sure if its suppose to work this way or its a defect with my unit.

It is only normal if the screen goes completely black when you press the power button to put the screen to sleep.

Well it seems like when I press the power button it goes to the lowest brightness setting and then turns off or visa versa goes on at lowest seting and then a split second later goes to regular brightness.
Any ideas would be great.

Here's what mine does...
Screen is off
I push the power button
screen turns on dim for ~ .25 seconds
screen turns bright
I push the power button
screen dims for ~ .25 seconds
screen goes off
I've noticed that it dims when it automatically sleeps as well.
That is exactly what happens with mine.

My Epic, my gf's Epic, and my Captivate all do the same thing. Totally normal.

Anyone else find that some software can cause the screen brightness to slide down to zero, so you have to go through settings and slide it back up via several irritating clicks. Not sure what software is doing it

Yup it happens sometimes. I think I figured out when that happens.
It happens when you press the Power Button not all the way e.g. when you apply only minor pressure to the button. Normally this happens accidentally when you want to Power Off the XDA. SO instead switching off the the XDA, if you do that (i.e. press power button not all the way), the brightness will go all down to zero.
I think the "half press" of the power button to dim the display is an intended feature not a bug. Was the same on my iPAQ before moving to the XDA II.
I have had ythe odd occassion (twice only) where after a soft reset the screen brightness was set to zero. You have to go to the screen settings and slide up to your desired setting again.

Every now and then when I turn the screen off, the lock screen will turn on but then the screen turns back on 1 second later.
Anyone else having this issue

Yeah, it happens at least once a day it seems. Couldn't say why though...
what rom are you both using??????
I get that sometimes if I have accidently pressed the volume rocker whilst doing so, not sure if this is the cause of this for you but is for me!
Running phiremod 6.3 and my nook color froze up no longer responding to touch. Volume keys don't work, but I can hold down the power key to bring up the menu... just can't select anything to make it reboot. Also the screen is stuck on, won't dim, won't go off when hitting the power button.
Any suggestions on how to force a reboot or am I waiting for the battery to die?

I've only had my nc for a couple days but when mine froze I held the power button until it powered off. Maybe there is a better way.
Awesome it worked. Looks like my biggest problem was impatience lol. Just needed to hold down that power button for about 30 seconds.
Thanks for helping!

I find power button is extensively used during EVO operation. Each time I want to check the the screen, or after making a call, I have a press that small tiny little power button to light up the screen. I am not sure whether this button is the weakest part of EVO.
Are there any tricks to save the use of this button?

No crack here so looks like they fixed it.
For tricks. Get an app that will turn the screen off. Change the setting to keep the screen on longer so if you are reading something it won't turn off. Have someone call you so the screen turns on and you don't have to use the power button.
Might be a way to use the volume rocker to turn the screen on. Have not looked into that since I am not concerned about my power key not working.
Aosp roms have configurations that allow you to turn the screen on and off without using the power button. Plus theirs an app in the market called screen locker that allows you to shut the screen with the "search" soft key

Hi guys. It's only me or when I want to end a call the screen takes 2-3 seconds to wake up?

Im having the same issue. I also notice a more significant lag after i press the home power button to wake the phone up, sometiems 3 to 4 seconds before the phone lights up.
