Brightness all the way down = screen turning off

[MMcCraryNJ]

Anyone else seeing this?

I could have swore that on my first Nexus device (RMAed due to bad speaker), I could turn the brightness all the way down and use the tablet on the lowest setting.

On my new Nexus (no issues so far), if I turn the brightness dial all the way down, the backlight totally shuts off, causing the screen to be impossible to be seen.

I'm not RMAing this one because it's perfect otherwise, it's just very weird behavior

I got the brightness on mine all the way down & the screen isn't off.

Did you find a solution?

I have the same problem. If I turn down to minimum brightness (10% or less) my screen goes black. The only way I can see what's on the screen is if I shine a light, and then I can barely make out what the screen says. I assume this is an easy software fix. Also, if auto-brightness is on and I'm in a dark environment the screen will occasionally dip to the lowest setting and turn off.

I'm on my second device also. My first one had bad screen lift, flickering and occasionally screen glitches with black lines flickering through the screen. This one had no noticeable screen lift out of the box, but I'm reserving my judgement, as the device I just returned was fine for the first few hours and then got worse as I used it more.

I have both devices side by side, since Google mailed me the new one first. Comparing the two, I notice the old one's screen is slightly brighter, maybe about 10% or so, but definitely noticeable. Also my new one has a little bit of bleeding on the left side; not terrible as some pictures I've seen, but definitely there.

Update: The screen flickering returned, so I just requested a second replacement. This is actually ridiculous.
