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

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

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

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...

I am not sure how to quite search for this topic, so sorry if it has been asked. I tried the phrases I could think of.
The screen on the new Note 2 is very crisp and bright, but when I go into the combined inbox, or just use the stock email app, the screen dims for some reason, or feels like it does. When I leave email and go to a different app or home screen, the screen lightens up. Has anyone else seen that behavior?
Turn off Power Saving via Settings or Notification Bar.
Hi. I think this is because of the auto adjust screen tone depending on the screen option under settings then display.

Turning off power saving did it. I feel pretty dumb. Thank you.

Thanks. That works for me too.
BUT, is there any other way? Coz I am afraid that turning off power savings will reduce my battery life greatly.
BTW I only have this dim screen issue with the default email client. K9 is ok.
hi guys,
im having a problem with my note 2. The stock mail client and the stock browser (no chrome) has a blueish to darkish screen tone. its a little weird to be honest. As soon as i exit from the two apps, the screen goes to its normal tone and broghtness.
in the browser i have put the brightness to max but there is still a strange blueish tone..
does anyone know how to stop this?
youe help is much appreciated

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".
