iphone 3gs brightness question

[stealthieOne]

I just got my 3gs and I noticed that when I hit home after its been sleep, the screen is really dark. I will press the sleep button(button on top) and then hit the home key and then the brightness is correct.

Should I return my phone?

Is auto-brightness on? (settings -> brightness -> auto brightness)

yes it is, but i kept it on for my old 3g and i never experienced this. When I say its dark when it wakes up i mean really dark. But like i said if i put it to sleep and then wake it again the problem is gone.

yup, it's something.... interesting, it's happened to me once or twice, not really sure what it is though.

ok so its at least its not just me. I wonder if this is something that can be fixed with an update or is there physical problem

Just chiming in to confirm this has happened to me a few times on my black 32GB 3GS.

I've had my 3GS about two weeks and I've seen this happen a few times. If the phone has been off for a while and I press the home button, the screen that comes up to enter my password is extremely dim, almost impossible to see. As soon as I enter my password, the brightness level returns to normal. I'm considering exchanging my phone since I'm still in my 30 day window and I'm also having the camera software "lens" fail to open occasionally, as described here:
