Is it just me having rhis problem,
Display brightnes set to auto and when I pick my phone out in the sun light it fails to increase brightness but indoors it fine tunes ro the chanhing ambient light.
Also is there any way I can change how the dialer functions as just to make a phone call you have to interact with the menu alot
Launch dialer
Type name
If multiple entries choose the right one from drop list
Choose the right number of chosen name
And press dial

You can download a new dialer from market.
To see if if ALS is working just type *#0*#
Select sensor and see if it reacts.

My gf just got the note 2 and was complaining about the screen being too dull in the sun also. Using the Lux sensor reading in *#0*# and comparing it to my s3. The note on average was half the Lux reading

yes that is true I think that the big screen required less light than s3 to save the battery

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

Has anyone ran into issue where you make a call screen goes dark like it's supposed to however if you want to end call screen won't come back on until call ends on the other side. So if person doesn't answer I have to wait till voice mail picks up and hangs up on me after it times out.

Is your fone rooted ?

It generally happens when I put it on my ear. Otherwise it is always on.

Phone isn't rooted. I have tried to hit all the buttons including power to turn it back on after it dims out and still nothing. I'm thinking of doing business factory reset but I rather avoid it if I could.

It happens when you place your finger or any part of the body near the sensor.

Got a screen protect covering the proximity sensor? Yours might be too sensitive. I had the same problem with my n4. Solution was no protector or wait till dearth or whatever brand you use to not cover the sensor. That was the first and only phone I ever had that issue though.

Did reset still same issue. I'll try without case, however I have had no issues with case till now.

Also heard of this bug in a German Android forum: there have been some users reporting the same problem without screen protector or case. Still don't know why this happened but You're not the only one with this bug

You can always go into the accessibility settings and set the phone to end a call when you hit the power button

Yesterday I wanted to read a numberplate from a picture to the person I was talking to. Had to text it to him later because the screen wouldn't turn on.

Enter *#0*# in the keypad to open the "test menu".
Press the Sensor tile and test your proximity sensor's function bij moving a finger over it.
If it does not change value from 0 to 1 and make the screen go green, your proximity sensor is likely to be broken.
Replacing the front camera (which houses the proximity senor) will then fix your problem.

I went into store today to speak to a tech that used to work with when I was a sales rep @ sprint. He told he has seen issue a couple of times. He says when that happens its a sensor issue. More common with fones that where 1st shipped out. He could of replaced it if I wanted but he wanted to avoid giving me a refurb. He did a couple of tests and it's been working since. He suggested if it happens again to bring it back again.

Works after a reboot. Seems to be the solution to every problem with that sensor.

I admit this is sometimes frustrating for me too. I'm curious as to a quick fix.
I read this up yesterday and wanted to post it here too for those who don't know about the app yet. "Smart Filter".
This app is magnificient in that it doesn't tweak hardware functions, but it applies a dark layer. Thus making it work wonderfully with the OLED screens (Apparantly OLED can only be dimmed to a certain extent).
This app is fantastic for reading, viewing videos or taking notes at night. Also awesome for using your phone in the theatres (I guess?).
Once again, app is called: Screen Filter

i use this app alot. great one because i too could not figure out how to lower the brightness.
Thanks for sharing!
I have tried many screen filter apps, and to this day, none have come close to Lux Auto Brightness.

Does Lux apply
a filter as well? The only down side I can think of with the filter method is that it doesn't really save battery (in comparison to actually emitting less light).

I dont think it applies a filter. I think it allows you to go below stock settings.

I watch TV on my note 2 at night moat nights with pretty much no lighting anywhere near me and the screen just seems to bright sometimes. Is there a way to decrease the values? Does something like this already exist or can someone create something like this? I have seen mods that allow the increase of brightness but none to decrease it.
Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.

Take a look at Lux Auto Brightness in Market... it has capability to use sub zero brightness for low light viewing
There are also screen filter apps that apply a transparent shade over the screen. I use lux, its great, but can be a pain to set up if you use auto brightness at all.

There is an app called "Night Mode" it's simple to use and has worked better for me than the other screen filter apps like lux and others.

it works great... been using it ever since i wanted to customize my own brightness curve... sub-zero brightness is just icing on the cake
I tried couple of these, one being luxe, another screen filter. While they both work fine I noticed that after they ran I loose ability to change screen brightness altogether until the phone it's reboot. Does anyone know a good solution for this?

You can easily turn lux off and adjust your brightness. Also, you can touch the + or - buttons in the Lux persistent notification and it'll brighten or darken your screen

I use screen filter and it allows me to adjust it all day. The only issue is when you try to download things the install button doesn't work. But who's prefect...
