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"

Is the screen brightness supposed to drastically change when auto brightness is enable. I've been playing around with it and noticed that when auto brightness is enable the screen will drastically change in different lighting conditions (with a couple second delay) For example, ill walk into a darker room the screen will get a lot dimmer after a couple of seconds and v-versu. The reason I asked is that my eco 4g would gradually adjust to point t where I didn't even notice.

I've noticed it rapidly changing like it can't decide a few times, and overall it's a bit too dim outdoors. Coming from an Evo as well and I never noticed it changing either.
Just going to keep an eye on it, not a huge issue for me. Might see if there's any way to override and manually specify the auto brightness thresholds.
There's a second setting called "Auto adjust screen power" further down on the display page - it could be that. It's some sort of thing that analyzes what's actually on the screen and tries to adjust for it.
I think it may just be a samsung thing. I have a Galaxy Tab 7" and I noticed that it was doing this as well, and it drove me crazy. I just went into settings>display>brightness and turned it down manually to just under halfway indoors and if I know Im going outside, i turn it all the way up.
Ive also noticed thst it was auto adjusting even when i had it disabled which was probablt the "power adjustment" thing... But once i caught it turning the brightness down to "prevent overheating"!?

Really?! Thats bizarre. I wonder if it will constantly have the screen down while wireless tether is running.

Thanks. I also have auto adjust disabled. Since others are seeing it then I assume its a Samsung thing. Ill wait to see if others confirm. BTW this may just be me being a geek. I notice every little thing. The other is that the buttons at the bottom of the phone aren't as sensitive as the eco.

A tip I read somewhere but haven't tried yet is to turn auto brightness off and when you do, hold down on the notification bar (don't pull it down, just hold a finger on it) and slide left or right to adjust brightness on the go. Not for sure if it works but give it a try (I'm chargin my phone while it's off now so I can't yet).

It works. I just tried it. That is pretty cool!
Worked for me too. That's great. Thanks. Where did you read that? Are there other tips?

This was a feature in the original epic as well. It is pretty cool. I just use this to change brightness . The only time i change is when i go out in the sun.

Can't remember anymore besides the screen shot one which has been mentioned. Tap home and the power button simultaneously. Also can't remember where I read it.

I would honestly say its a combination of things BC I have used roms where its totally obvious (on froyo) where on others its completely impossible to notice the change.

They kept the good features from the Epic. I like the feature in "Contacts" where you can swipe right on a contact to call them and left to send a message as well

I've had the brightness at the max, and turned off the Auto Adjust Screen Power option. Just while browsing XDA the screen dimmed, and when looking at the brightness setting it states "To avoid overheating, maximum brightness has been reduced.". This has happened at least three different times.
I'm hoping this isn't a serious issue. Have you had it do that multiple times for you as well?
I keep noticing that my brightness is always set higher than where it is supposed to be.
I will lower it to about 1/4 brightness and by the end of the day I notice its at 3/4 brightness all on its own... auto brightness is off and power saving is off
What gives? Anyone else notice this?

Yep. I have he same issue. It has a problem staying where I set it. Especially when I set it to 0% do you use an app to set your level or do you go into settings to do it? I usually use quick settings.

I think I figured it out...at the bottom of the display settings is a box that says auto adjust lcd power or something.. I had it checked I just unchecked it...will report back if it fixes the problem...I'm thinking it will

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

I'm having problems with mine, my auto brightness has started to become sporadic in the last month. I always use mine auto with it set at 50% never had an issue before, it would change as per light conditions, I then would untick auto and get 100% brightness.
Well lately the auto brightness doesn't seem to want to change it just stays at same brightness even if I am in direct sunlight etc, I then have to put it to 100% just so I can see the screen.
Anyone else having same issue?

Hi, I did not see this "screen mode" item before, it seems the problem is gone by choosing the "dynamic" option !
Thank you very much

Hi
Not sure if anyone else has had the same problem or even come across it before but I've got a weird issue in that when I open the email client the screen dim making it more difficult to read the emails, come out of the email client and it brightens up again, ive not got auto brightness set and have tried factory resets but still it persists.
Phone is stock 4.1.2 but was doing this prior to stock update last night on 4.1.1. BTU unlocked handset
Any ideas?
