normal for screen to increase brightness then dim?

i've noticed that my TP2 seems to go into full brightness (or increased brightness) before it dims. is this normal?

You need to disable 'auto backlight adjust' if this bothers you. The path to find it varies depending on your rom but it should be under Start/Settings/System/Power/Backlight and uncheck the auto box.

If you already have it disabled then thats just weird...

it's not that, i want it ot auto adjust, but here's an example of how it's bugging me:

1-10 brightness (10 highest).

phones on the table, stable lighting. brightness at 5.
phone is about to dim after 30 seconds.
at about 29 seconds, brightness increases to >5
at 30 seconds, dims to 1
phone screen turns off at 1min.

i just don't recall my TP1 doing that. it's like before it dims, there's a quick surge of brightness. it's not that big a deal, it just grabs my attention thinking i'm getting a text.

There are things that can trigger this like reconnecting or application and etc..

Are you using a standard rom or a cooked one? also did you disable push internet?

guys, TP2 has a light sensor and adjusts accordingly.
