I have 2 main questions:
First is there anyway to change the default dialer? I have had HTC for quite a while and I like that dialer a lot. Dialer One is close enough, but I cant find how to get it to be the default dialer. I dont want to see the crappy samsung one ever again...
Second. when going into the browser, my screen brightness always dims. if i go into settings it brightens up again (cant find a setting for this). is there anyway to stop this? it makes browsing very annoying and hard to read.
I have rooted my phone, and am not opposed to using another ROM, just havent flashed one yet.
Thanks,
Go to browser
Hit menu
Hit brightness and colors
Play around

I go to my browser, select menu and I do not get a choice for brightness. Power saving is off. I can't find any option to change the brightness of the browser. See attached pic.
Are you on LG8 software? Because if so, it made the browser work off the phone's brightness. If you're not, (not trying to be a ****, just need to make sure) did you try scrolling down?
yup browser menu scrolls

So anytime I open my browser it automatically darkens. I hit the home button and it brightens back right before it goes to the home screen. How the f do I change this? Is really getting on my nerves.
Stock Rom by the way.

Same.
I have the same problem. But I can't find the browser's brightness settings.
I had it before the software update, but it is gone after the update. Don't know what's up with that.

After the latest OTA update the browser uses the same brightness as the rest of the system. You can control it from the status bar.
I have the latest update but don't see how to change the browser brightness setting without it changing the system brightness. Is there way to fix this? Thanks

Does the Note2 have its own browser brightness setting like the S3 (I actually found the S2-S3 default dimmer browser brightness setting annoying, there should also be an option under general systems settings to have brightness setting go system wide)?
There is an option missing in the Note Browser called colour, the brightness control helps, but without the colour option to stop the filter coming on you'll have to use another browser or just wait to see if they add it in the next update.

You must have power saving mode on! It lowers screen brightness to a ridiculously low level when browsing! I love the feature coz it allows me 10 hours screen time instead of my usual 9.
I have good eyes so use it. I can deffo see why others would struggle with it on tho
There is the option adjust screen tone under display. That seems to dim whites in the browser and gmail
Dim screen on internet

Hello,
I normally use Dolphin Browser but read on XDA that the Stock Browser is (nearly) as good and offers full-screen, better battery, etc. I tried it yesterday but have a strange blueish haze (as if there was some overlay) over the screen that makes reading quite difficult.
I made pictures but when I make a screen shot, this haze disappears. Photos with my iPhone don't show a lot (...:cyclops. I tried different settings for screen brightness but this doesn't change a thing.
Anyone has this problem or am I missing something.
While I'm at it, how do I change the home page on the stock browser because the menu doesn't offer this option..
Thanks in advance for your help,
Ton
Hi.. its because you have power saving mode activated in settings.
Once you remove that , stock browser will show in full brightness

Nice one i checked the power saving setting and turn it off now it is looking great.
The power-saving function turns the screen blue-ish. It's quite nice for bedtime surfing if you don't have "Screen Filter".
Hello everyone. I'm wondering if anyone else has experienced this situation. The very annoying bug I have is that the browser is often in full screen mode. I am referring to the stock browser. I'm on the latest UBDM3 rom from Samsung. Rooted with custom recovery but it did this before I installed the recovery.
I'm not sure if I remember having this bug before on previous builds. But my suspicion is that I didn't.
I can get the notification bar to show up and stay if I go into the browser settings and toggle full screen on then off in labs. But it will eventually go back to full screen again.
Yeah I noticed that buy in chrome.
It used to go into full screen on it's own.

I haven't noticed it in Chrome myself but I also haven't used chrome in a while. I prefer the stock browser for those quick controls. I'm surprised more people haven't noticed or care about this. I think it's annoying not being able to access the notification bar unless you swipe and eventually bring it down.
