[D00QLE]

i was playing on my tablet then the screen turn soooo dark
like as if the bright setting is turn all the way down.
i can hardly see to operate, i press the power button then again to login.

but when i check the setting it appear untouch
even after turning off auto brightness.

Mine kinda does this... mine just goes super dark, but i usually just touch the screen or the power button and it brightens back up, just like a laptop getting ready to go into sleep or hibernate mode.

It happens again after I set timeout tok 30 m3inutes
It could be bad lcd, I could not see a thing.

That would suck if it is a bad LCD, but at least it would be under warranty!

This happened to me, I think it is because I had brightness at maximum... I turned the brightness slightly down and it has happened again. But maybe that's just me?

It has a light sensor and auto-adjust capability. I've notice as I move around with mine or change how room light hits it will darken or brighten. Doesn't bother me enough to go looking for some settings to disable it, but there should be some there.

I have the same problem too... everytime I turn off the screen using the power button then turn on again the screen turn very dark when the setting is set to auto brightness... it is very annoying while doing something on the S and went away from a while then come back to use it the brightness is totally so dim...

I'm sorry to say but you guys have a defective unit. Just switch it in right away.

turn off auto brightness.

I contact newegg yesterday but no reply yet.

edit: i call them via phone got my shipping label.

Turning off auto brightness doesnt help, but tuning down the brightness from max down slightly I havent had the issue.

If it happens again ill have to send this back, I feel bad loosing the official siony screen cover.
Byt loosing $30 is better than five ninty-nine us dollars.

The issue describedhappened to my first one which is why I know it. Just re turn it. Its not normal behavior.

It is the Android problem, not Sony. Unless you change OS....

go ahead turn on your auto brightness and browse the net in a well lid room.

I have one that is doing the same thing. Also every now and then the screen shuts off and I cant get it to come back on for awhile unless I hold power for like 30 sec. Is this a defective tablet or honeycomb 3.2? Thanks!

I'm telling you guys, I sell the things andI KNOW the issue they are taking about. We played with the settings all day and it kept happening but the issue NEVER happened to any of the other units. It's most likely a defective unit because as I said, it only happened to the one unit.

I agree, im exchanging mine today. Last night I charged it and it kept restart looping untill I turned it off then hooked up the power supply. Ill let ya guys know how the next one acts!

the official siony screen cover.
$30 us dollars.

i think they are not available in Europe yet - so you should be able to sell the cover easily if you ship internationally
