Is this only on certain launchers? Which ones have it?
Sent from my SPH-D700 using XDA App
any launcher.. just turn off automatic brightness.
If you turn off auto brightness, you can control the brightness by swiping left and right on the notification bar
On froyo I had to disable power saving mode under settings>display. Then the brightness setting on the power bar started to work for me.
Thx for the info

Can somebody put a screen shot of where I should swipe
Thx in advance

It's pretty much impossible to show in screenshot form since it would only show the screen itself not the swiped area, but the easiest explanation is to just touch the upper area enough for the beginning of the bar to come down then swipe either left for dimmer or right for brighter

Screen Brightness: I have set the screen brightness to medium and and timeout to 60 seconds. I have started to notice that it will change the settings on its own. I will notice the screen is dim then look at the brightness setting and it will be set to minimum. Another thing that is driving me crazy is that it will dim the screen if you don't touch it regardless of the screen time out.
I have also noticed that sometimes when typing the screen does not follow were the words are going.
Other than these two minor pet peeves I absolutely love this phone. If it had a vag it may replace my wife.
The screen dimming is probably done by u. If u run your hand back and forth at the bottom of the notification bar it will change your brightness. Auto brightness has to be off. Its a cool feature that the original epic had.

u might want to disable the "power saving mode"... i had the same issue as u, but it seems to be fine since i disabled power saving mode
That's the thing I have my settings to auto brightness off
Edit: I will try turning the power saving mode off
Did not know that about the notification bar dimming the screen that's a cool feature.

Thanks I bet the notification bar might be it. That is awesome, I can't believe I didn't know that yet.
IF your in the internet browser that came with the phone and you turn up your brightness all the way and then you notice while your look at page all of a sudden your brightness will go back down to like 10% I found out the culprit.
the browser has a BROWSER BRIGHTNESS option in the menu. you can turn auto on or theres another slider there and it appears factory setting is all the way left or lowest.
this was pissing me off today while I was waking in the sun, I thought I had my brightness on all the way but with in 5 seconds while look here on XDA, the brightness kept going back down on its own and I do not have auto on. the thing I was doing to get it back up bright again was to do the notification swipe to the right and that would only temporary fix it.
Is there a way to lower the brightness of the Menu buttons below the screen? I have found an app called Screen Filter that can turn the LEDs for those buttons off completely but I would rather just turn down the brightness. Also, can these be used for notifications somehow? I am on CM7.1 btw.

Hmmmm, was afraid that was gonna be the case. Oh, well. Thanks.
While I'm at home in the evening, I've been trying to turn my brightness down to the lowest level. I tried the system slider and also tried different widgets and apps bit there has been one issue with all of them. Every time I put the phone into sleep/lock, the brightness setting doesn't stay are the lowest setting. (Auto-brightness off). The brightness would reset to 20 - 30%.

There's probably an app you have installed that is messing with it

Go to
Settings --> Display
There's another option called "Auto adjust screen power" which auto adjusts LCD brightness as well.
Just a guess really.. Hope it does something for ya
The screen on my G Note 2 N7100 dims whenever I open the stock email app. Initially, when I set up the very first email account the brightness was normal but after it finishes and goes to Inbox it went darker. I've tried tweaking the display setting but have not been successful and it wouldn't be productive to manually toggle the brightness whenever I am using the email app. When I leave the email app on to home screen or any other app the display brightness returned to normal.
Is anyone experiencing similar issues? Any thoughts to fix this?
Is it the "auto adjust screen tone" setting?
i am facing the same issue. tried lot of things but no success....seems this is the way this app looks...disappointment

Hey @amf, you're right...sort of. It's the Power Saving mode that's messing with the screen dim but as I pointed out this issue only occur with the stock email app. Every other apps I tried were fine with Power Saving mode on. With that said, I found that you don't have to completely turn off Power Saving, just uncheck Background Color and leave the rest checked. This is strange because I thought that Background Color is supposed to dim for bright background to reduce power consumption but the email app's background is black.
Anyway, thanks everyone for replying! :good:
Hi,
The darker the background, the less battery it consumes. It seems to make sense when you turn on Power save mode.
Cheers!!
Hi All,
Is there anyway to adjust the 4 brightness levels of the brightness toggle? One of my toggles is set to 0 or 1. My baby was playing with my phone and the screen went black. I thought he had screwed my phone so I ended up LNGPST back to ZVC. Didn't help. Couldn't figure it out. Finally, I tilted my phone at a certain angle and could just barely see an outline of a box. I realized the brightness was all the way down. Unfortunately, I couldn't see enough to turn it back up (even in pitch black room) but I pulled down the notification area and haphazardly was clicking on the screen until it turned up.
Anyways, I would like to adjust the minimum brightness toggle so I don't have to do that again. Any ideas?
Thanks!
Are you using stock?
