screen backlight behaviour on unlock

4 replies · 2,897 views · Started 30 June 2009

Has anyone noticed some odd behaviour with the backlight when you unlock the phone? If I am outdoors, the screen backlight regularly fails to turn on. If I then cover the light sensor (I'm assuming, top right of the phone) and unlock the phone, it will work fine.

I'm experiencing a similar problem with my phone. When its in portrait mode i have to toggle the keylock switch a few times but eventually the backlight DOES come on.

However, if the phone is in landscape mode I just can't get the backlight to come on! Is this a known problem??
