Has anybody else noticed weird scrolling effects, mostly noticeable while scrolling up and down in portrait mode? It exhibits the same behavior in landscape, but I don't scroll side-to-side nearly as much.
With the home button to the left of the tablet, the right side of the screen seems to lead the left by a noticeable amount.

I notice this in opera, and today in the facebook app too, and was really baffled. The effect is quite subtle, but repeatable. When moving my finger around the screen, eg on the bbc news website panning to the top left, my screen dims. It stays dim when I remove my finger, and brightens again when I pan back down to the right.
Weird, huh?
So far it's just a curiosity and not an annoyance. Has anyone else seen this?
So I am not the only one who noticed this. I sometimes find this behaviour a bit annoying, especially in low light.
The phone has an ambient light sensor. It is adjusting because you are causing a shadow over it.
You can probably turn it off
Under the power settings/backlight - auto adjust backlight. Just uncheck it.
Any idea where the sensor is located?
Do you really think it is the ambient/light sensor? I sure don't. Scrolling through different websites I can easily reproduce this:
You scroll from one point to another, this just has to be a couple of pixels, and the screen adjusts the brightness. That is within a room with a fixed source of light and I am keeping my body as constant as possible to avoid the shadowing.
Scrolling from point A to point B makes the backlight adjust itself, even without casting any shadows or similar. Scrolling back from B to A makes the backlight instantly adjust itself back.
It's your finger causing the shadow, not your body. If you introduce an object into an ambient light source, you will find that said object will reduce the ambient light by a percentage due to partial or total obstruction. The light sensor is detecting this percentage and adjusting the screen accordingly.
The sensor itself is somewhere near the speaker.
I'm pretty sure this doen't have anything to do with the light sensor UNLESS it's cause by the screen itself becoming brighter and this registering on the light sensor, eg internal light leak.
My best guess is that it's connected to the presence/absence of certain colours on the screen, and is related to the video driver. Next time I get it I'll see if I can reproduce when scrolling via the kbd, to eliminate the theories about casting shadows on the screen.
This is not FINGER SHADOW!!!
You can notice this same thing when you plaing Solitare cards and using Stylus.
I'm sure i did't do any shadows and anyway when i pick up any card and moving aroud screen u can notice screen brighting up and down.
Using Opera 9.5, on this site http://game-board.blogspot.com/2008/05/alternative-monopoly-rules-and-game.html zoom in with double-click, scroll about half way down to the paragraph beginning "property has too much pollution on it", then scroll up and down and notice the change in screen brightness. please post if you can repeat. it does not work with the keyboard.
btw, does anyone know monopoly "bloodbath" alternative rules?
I've noticed my screen doing this without causing any shadows & without even touching the screen at all, like a 'breathing effect' when it is completely idle. I think it has something to do with light sensor polling interval which is editable via the registry, advance config and HD tweak...but since I flashed NRGZ ROM (21/08/09 build) this issue has gone anyway.
Anyone having any rotation issues with their camera?
I went to the see the Twin Atlantics last night and took numerous videos, all of which were taken holding the phone horizontally.
Four of the seven videos play vertically even though I hold the phone horizontally, resulting in the picture playing 90 degrees the wrong way. If I hold the phone vertically, the picture rotates 90 degrees the wrong way again. Very strange, I can't think why this happens when the other three videos play at the correct angle.
Any ideas?
No, but have had same...

Have you found a solution to this issue? I am having exactly the same problem..
Is your accelerometer off? I noticed when I turned off auto-rotate I started having problems with the camera. I enabled and disabled again and it fixed it for the time being. Make sure that when you are taking a picture, the video recording button and the shutter button are oriented the correct way.
same problem on just one video,started recording vertical and then quick rotate to horizontal, screen rotated but when playing its show small video box. Others started in right way got no playing problem.
I just noticed that all tw camera controls are extremely slow. I mean when I select one of the top buttons to set various options, it pops up menu and scrolling inside it is really slow... I don't mess with the settings very much so I'm not sure when it started happening, I wanted to set options for night shooting (ISO 800, no flash, low light mode) and noticed this. Is this mormal or I have some problem?
So, I notice that when I get int apps, and go to the home screen, the screen gets brighter, meaning the apps are dimming the screen ever so slightly, any fix? I've noticed it the most in Chrome, but it happens in many apps.
Yes, that's been noticed by many of us, with varying levels of irritation. I believe that if your brightness is set to "Auto", you won't see the dimming, but I'm not crazy about how the Auto mode works. I should confess that until someone else called attention to it, I never noticed the slight dimming myself, so I won't get too puffed up with outrage.

I have also noticed this. The screen suddenly gets dim while using some apps (mostly Chrome). When I press the home button, the screen brightenes up to its set brightness. Also, I have auto brightness turned off. So, this shouldn't be happening. Currently the only fix is to exit to the home screen.
When I touch the screen and move my finger around, the screen seems like it's lagging behind my finger, not instantly responding to my touch. This can be felt while playing games like PUBG, or Brawl Stars. And can be felt while in a video and you move the video forwards or backwards.
It's like that option you have for your mouse on the PC where it let's you choose the acceleration of the pointer. The touch is accelerating when I'm moving my finger faster, and de-accelerating when I'm moving my finger slower and slower. Just like the pointer option on PC. The less movement, the more it shows.
And it's not the apps and games, it's the screen itself, but I was just giving examples of where the instant perfect touch response is most needed and is most showing to the user.
I did turn on the option for touch sensitivity in Settings but it didn't have any effect on the issue.

Same here. Hope to be a software issue.
