Screen dims after about 5 seconds

This is quite anoying, but my screen will dim after about 5 seconds. I have to touch the screen for it to brighten up again. I have been through all the settings and nothing should be making it do that. It doesn't go completely black, it just dims.

Any idea how I can turn this "feature" off?

Re: Screen dims after about 5 seconds

Settings>All Settings (in lower left)>System Tab>Power Icon>Backlight Tab>uncheck "Auto Adjust Backlight". I think that goofy thing may be involved

oopsI'm sorry. searched and somehow ended up in TP 2 thread. ALMOST got that phone, still may come to it if I don't keep this Hero at end of my 30 days. Looks like similar problems! lol


I have the same problem, backlight/screen will dim while I'm using it. It doesn't turn completely off, just dims. I have no SYSTEM under settings. No power related options under settings.

I have American Sprint HTC Hero, not the European version, if that changed the options available under settings.
