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

Stock internet browser app dimming?

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"

[Q] Very dim combined inbox

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.

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".

Screen dimming when opening emails

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?
