Backlight fluctuation

[dr g]

I had an issue earlier where the backlight would constantly dim without any delay, e.g. you tap the screen, the backlight brightens, then immediately goes back to "dim" mode as if the backlight-off timeout had reached. This has the appearance of the backlight fluctuating up and down constantly as you use the device.

This problem seemed to affect other things, including a frustrating freeze/lockup of Opera where Opera would freeze while loading a page -- then after that you could not snooze the device with the power button until you soft reset.

I was able to apparently clear up this issue by re-selecting my Settings > Power > Advanced backlight timeout settings. Anyone else experience this issue?

I had thought it might be related to some LevelSight service or TouchResponse, but it was not.
