I was going through my Google Reader feeds on my browser (which is awesome by the way) and all of a sudden, the backlight dimmed.
I don't know why this just happened like this and I'll probably never know.
I tried to correct this by going into settings:
Menu - Settings - Sound & Display - Brightness
For some strange reason, I couldn't select the "Brightness" option though.
I thought there might be a problem with my phone.
But, then I noticed the option above Brightness:
"Disable auto backlight"
was unchecked.
Why was this unchecked or how did this get unchecked? I'll probably never know. So, I checked this box.
Menu - Settings - Sound & Display - Disable auto backlight
Make sure "Disable auto backlight" is checked.
Once checked, you can now adjust the brightness.
My brightness bar was about 25% in from the left. This is probably the default. It's probably not a good idea to have it too bright as this will likely consume more battery power.
So, there wasn't a problem with my phone after all.
On another note, disabling the auto backlight may save more energy/battery power.
Happy Androiding!
