Screen dims in video playback - Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I when i record a video and play it back. As soon as i start play, the screen dims.
I just got my S3 a few hours ago and its not stock. Is that a normal behavior?
My previous HOX did something very similar.
thx, nearly

Check for the brightness settings in the video player, it's on auto brightness, turn it off.

Hdmi output with screen off?

Is there a way or an app in which you can watch a video thru hdmi with the screen off?
I'm looking for a solution also. I thought my prime would be able to replace my media player but when the screen is always on it's terribly distracting, even if the background is black.
Screen off puts it to sleep. As far as I know there's no workaround.
But if you use dice player every video I've tried has used hardware decoding and gives you the black screen. Helps on battery as well as not being distracting. Swipe down to decrease brightness on the black screen even further. Doesn't affect you're actual brightness setting.
My tablet screen goes into a sleep mode after minute. but continues playing video. I also have it plugged in. I was using the crunchyroll app so I don't know if it will work for other apps. My best guess would be go into settings and click on display and adjust the time till the screen turns off. The last thing is you can just close the prime if you have the keyboard station or just flip it over so the screen is faced down.
I don't mind the screen on but would like if off to save on battery.

[Q] How to stop videos being dim on playback

Everytime I playback videos i've filmed they look very dim, yet if I hit backup it momentarily shows the video at its correct brightness level. Plus also the preview of the video is at the correct brightness level.
I've tried changing a few of the phones Display settings but nothing seems to stop this from happening. If anyone has any ideas it'd be appreciated.
Go into a video, pause it, hit menu and change the brightness from inside the player, disable auto-brightness as well while you are at it.
Ahh got it. I was doing that but initially could only see a few options, this time though I tried scrolling down and saw a load more including settings where I was able to disable auto brightness. Thanks.

[solved] screen brightness lowers when watching a video

does the same thing happen to anyone else? when i go play a video i recorded the screen dims and when i exit the video the screen gets brighter. samething happens when i open the internet browser and youtube. i was comparing images and videos with my brothers phone and his looked brighter than mine and my screen brightness was all the way up. i am running redruM lean stock rom version 2 or 3( not sure what version) for the tmobile. and i also have some mods like build.prop tweaks, sony bravia engine, forced hardware acceleration, moded media-profiles.xml and some other ones i cant remember. im on adamkernel3 when i am browsing the videos the seem bright but when i play them it seems dark. hope someone has a solution to this. thanks:good:
ok so i found a solution: solution here
so basically they each have their own brightness controls. just press the menu soft key and find brightness and disable automatic brightness and set it yourself.
Adjust Video Brightness on Setting (Play video, then hit option).
Also for the browser, hit option while on internet. Unless you got 3rd party one.

[Q] brightness problem?

So I downloaded a screen filter app of Google play and I've noticed that when I switch to full screen in the YouTube app and the play/pause button disappears the screen turns washed out. I don't remember it being like that before I got the app so I uninstalled it and that didn't work so I reset my phone but that still didn't work. It also happens watching videos off the internet in the stock video player. Is there a way to fix this or has it always been like that?

Flicker if you keep brightness lower than full in youtube HDR videos

So i found this thing. I dont know if this is an issue. But when i keep my brightness lower than full (say 50%) and try to watch any HDR video on Youtube the screen starts flickering or tries to go to max brightness (as its required for HDR) again and again. It looks like it is flickering but all its doing is trying to reach peak brightness.
The same video when i watch in full brightness there is no flicker. As its the highest.
Also the HDR 1080P 60 fps videos lag and stutter too much in youtube. When i download them and play on vlc on V30 there are no issues at all even with HDR which plays at 50% brightness also.
I just got my LG V30+ yesterday and I have the exact same problems. It seems to be connected to ambient light somehow, because it doesn't always flicker. However the audio sync issue is present at all times when watching 1080p HDR. Completely unwatchable.
I dont think its an issue. I think it happens with every V30. I have checked it in showrooms too. Its more of a softare thing which LG needs to fix through a firmware update. Or you can just manually increase the brightness to top everytime you wanna see HDR video's on Youtube.
I see the same on my V30. It's most likely Youtube app bug. It is not happening using stock Youtube app version. 15% auto brightness goes up to 100% and stay there during whole video. In recent version it is flickering between 15 and 100% during playback. Weird indeed.
In case of 1080p60 HDR stutter, it is known issue I believe. Other phones with SD 835 SoC have it similar. Google already downgraded video options in app from 1440p to 1080p, but still not quite good.
At last some more inputson this issue. Its good to see people chipping in and hopefully google solves this or Lg
I think it started with some March app update. I have tested many HDR videos in February and everything was fine.
edit:
I have tried version 13.10.55 and it seems to be fixed.
I have a Galaxy S8 and I have the same issues with flickering to
Same thing happens on my galaxy s9+
I still have this issue. Cant watch youtube without the hdr video stuttering. Also when brightness is on low and im watching hdr fullscreen it starts flickering.
I thought this would have been fixed by now

I do not see any flickering, and just tested "Real 4K HDR: Cosmos Laundromat in HDR" in 1080p HDR. I adjusted the screen brightness to 30%, but once the video start, the brightness seemed to max out as it should for HDR. Manual brightness adjustment had no effect when the video is in play. My V30 is on Software version H93220k.
