Well, here it is about 6 months later, and my phone is still randomly changing its brightness. I contacged Sgraight Talk, and they want me to send it in for repair. Problem is, sending in for repair is how i got this phone in first place. When i had an LG Slider and sent it in for repair, i bought this Showtime to use while waiting for Slider to be returned. Local Walmart has 30 day return. But ST lost my Slider and eventually gave me 6 months free service on this Showtime (that i like better). Wild, huh! But the brightness problem continues. And not crazy about return for repair. Any ideas, anyone? Thanks
