Has anyone else noticed this before? When you press the space bar key the screen will very slightly flicker.
Is this a faulty device??
Its the power saving. In display settinf theres an option 'auto adjust screen power'. Untick this and it wont happen anymore.

So it is a normal feature then? And with that option turned off will it affect my battery much?
Cheers

Make sure auto brightness is off... Also, i keep my brightness on as low as possible as well but i noticed sometimes when pulling down the notification bar ill swipe alittle bit to the side and it will change the brightness. Cool feature but wish there was a way to turn it off.

As the title says my GFs 10.1 will go full brightness at random times. Only way to change it back is to go into setting. The slider is all the way down but have to slide it to full then back down. Any ideas guys?
The fix is: Go TO SETTINGS, SCREEN, AUTO ADJUST SCREEN POWER, UNCHECK. Thanks bd85!

I have had this issue as well when using auto brightness function. Only when viewing photo albums. Very annoying. I no longer use the auto brightness function now. Little issues like this drive me crazy. Add this to the keyboard lag and other small issues and i start to question the purchase.
Thankfully i found this site to help me realize its not just me...misery loves company. Lol.
Have you guys tried to shut off the option in setting that's can analyze the screen color and more and the adjust the screen for power savings.
I have noticed what you are mention. And it only appears in movie's because the picture change often so the tab tried to compensate the colors often.
Go TO SETTINGS, SCREEN, AUTO ADJUST SCREEN POWER, UNCHECK.
And I am not talking about the auto brightness that you can access from clicking on the lower right part of your screen

That seemed to be it. Didn't think to check that since the Xoom doesn't have that setting. One thing i wish the xoom had was the whole different wallpaper for lock screen thing the 10.1 has.
OK I'm not talking about auto brightness, does the 'Auto ajust screen power' save battery? What about if my screen brightness is on minimum? Cheers guys!

It depends
Having the brightness set to low will save battery. The auto works best for me but don't forget you can press then swipe along the top of the phone where the notification bar is to manually change the brightness at any time.
The first week I had my phone I had the brightness of low and after that I decided to just enjoy the great screen and leave it on auto.

John.

I tried it and didn't notice any difference, in fact it's not doing anything at all, so I have no idea what it's suppose to do to save power.
There are situations when I want the phone awake and alive and powered and on high brightness when I need it, but want to save the screen. An example is when in the car on a bright day. I use Llama (like Tasker) and can get it to start an app under appropriate conditions...
What I need is an app that will display a black screen image (or a preset image I can set that's actually a blank screen), and ideally the app to exit when I touch the screen.
So I would have Llama launch this app after a delay (when other conditions indicate I'm in the car). It would act as a delayed screen blanker/saver that would exit as soon as I touch the screen Does such an app exist (or something very similar)?
Use an app called "Screen Filter". You can set the brightness level all the way down and add a screen widget which will toggle this setting. Of course set the screen to be on all the time.

Will that work? How would I exit the dimmed screen on-demand (e.g. by touching the screen)? I don't think Llama/Tasker can detect this in order to reset Screen Filter.
Yes you touch the on screen widget to exit it. Put a bunch on the screen to make it easier to enable and disable it.

The usage model I have in mind won't work as you suggest. Say I have a music or gps app in the foreground. I want the screen to 'dim' after a while and to just tap the screen to restore normal brightness, still showing the app previously in the foreground. If I need widgets exposed, I have to switch to a home screen.
I think if I had an app that displayed a black screen, then the app could be launched in foreground over the music or gps app and designed to simply exit on a screen tap. This would re expose the music or gps app and I'd be good to continue using my phone on the app I was using before the 'screensaver' was launched...
Anyone else experiencing a substantial lag on waking the phone up? Not to be a stickler, but it's pretty much a full second from when I press the power key until the screen wakes up.

Yes, see the thread "sluggish waking up" in the q&a feed. Disable the ripple effect on the lockscreen. Worked for me. I've since re-enabled the ripple effect and have not noticed the lag.

I actually disabled the ripple effect right when I turned it on.
I'll toggle it on/off again and see what happens

I read in a different thread if you completely turn it off it's pretty quick. I use Widget Locker with root helper enabled. It's pretty speedy once you disable the stock lockscreen.
Mine's better too after disabling ripple.. I wonder if it has to do with the phone going into a deep sleep state combined with loading up the ripple?
Ok, so where do we disable the ripple effect?
Under settings:lock screen:lock screen settings. Uncheck ripple effect
