Brightness doesn't stay where its set to

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 go into display settings...I don't use an app to set it

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

This is probably why.

Yeah. I typically have mine set at the lowest yet somehow it will change itself on its own.

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

[Request] Decrease minimum brightness level.

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.

Screen filter is amazing. 23.5% works fine for me

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.

Auto dimming, how to stop it?

Hi all,
This is my first post about my 8. I find it strange that my screen automatically dims (very dim) after a few seconds.,even when plugged in and I have set it up to stay on, it dims.
I have tried just about every tweak I can think of. Turning off auto brightness/batter saving mode/ etc. For the life of me I am not able to get it to stop auto dimming after a few seconds.
Anyone have this issue and resolve it?
Thanks!
Ryan

If it isn't auto brightness, check settings...display....screen mode.
It could be the adapt display or maybe reading mode?

Try changing screen timeout in Settings / Display / Screen Timeout
Sent from my GT-N5100 using XDA Premium 4 mobile app

Thanks for the tips, I extended the inactivity timeout and removed the s pen power savings and I think that did it!

Problem with screen filter apps

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...
