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

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

Why is the display in just the Browser or any website i go to from the Browser much darker or less bright? Checked all settings, seems to flicker very bright for a second when I touch the bookmark button or back key.
Thanks

Had to do factory reset. Because before update you could control brightness separately, somehow the settings screwed up during OTA update. Working great now.
Thanks for the reply so fast.

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

Just when you are in the browser use the left touch button to open the list of actions and scroll down , here you will see settings and brigtness just exclusive for internet browser...

So i have noticed this before, but then forgot about it. But everytime i would access the xda app on my phone, it would flicker like crazy!!! So today i went into my settings disabled the navigation bar and boom, the flicker is gone. Can anyone else try this?
Yes i have done a clean install and problem persisted, even with the min cpu bumped up. Maybe theres something with the screen being compressed due to the navigation bar being added.
Moved to Q&A
I've had flickering on aokp and miui without the nav bar

I have had zero flicker since disabling the nav bar, but once I enable it, the flicker comes back!!

This needed its own thread why? http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1846416
And it happens on roms that don't even have the navbar as an option. I like that you're trying to help, but unfortunately the post is a fail.

This past week the stock Samsung internet browser app dims when opened. Then when I close it the phone goes back to the brightness level it was at before opening up the browser. only happens when using the Samsung stock browser. Anyone else having this problem?
Stock AT&T GSIII
Edit: Also wanted to add that this is not happening on my wife's GSIII.

Check display settings. There is an option to change the screen tone to reduce battery usage. Try unchecking that.

Thanks for the reply but just unchecked it and it's still doing the same thing. Even tried toggling on and off auto brightness and it still does the same thing. It's very strange.
Try turning off powesaver.

I'm chalking this up to a bug. I have a friend with an S3 with this exact problem. No amount of settings changing would fix it. I'm pondering doing a factory reset on his and seeing if that fixes the problem.
I was having the same issue. Turning off power save mode fixed it.

Its not a bug. I was able to make this happen or not happen by changing a few settings, but I don't remember which ones because I'm on AOKP.
But it definitely is a battery saving feature, so turn off all battery saving stuff and then try it.

The Samsung gs3 browser has its own display brightness settings that are independent of your screen brightness settings. While in the browser press menu and you should see a screen brightness option. You can select between 3 levels of brightness or set your own slider.
Thanks everyone...I found the culprit.
For anyone else having this problem, it is under the phone settings, power saving, I unchecked "Background color" which says "Change background color to save power in internet"
