So I know this should go in the nightly thread but I have less than 10 posts so I can't post there yet.
I got the brightness slider in CM N94 working, but it has a strange interaction with Handcent. When I open Handcent the brightness goes down to the minimum. I adjust the brightness, send a message, turn the screen off, then when I turn it on again the brightness is back down at the minimum. Same with exiting the app and relaunching.
Anyone else experience the same thing?
Check your settings in hancent for something called display mode and switch it from night mode/smart mode to normal mode and it will stop auto dimming.

This is really bugging me, is there a way to disable the browser brightness settings? Our can I make it synchronise with the main display brightness?
I don't use automatic brightness and rely on the switchpro widget on my home screen to adjust the display brightness on the fly. It's really annoying to see the monitor changing brightness when I switch between an app and the browser, or even going through the bookmarks page within the browser itself!!

It's already unticked. And I do mean the browser brightness settings inside the stock browser.

What? No one is having the same issue?
I want my screen brightness level maintained throughout various apps/homescreen/browser, is there a hack for this?

The original Galaxy S and its variant all had this "feature". I HATE IT. 3rd party browsers are too clunky and bloated, but geez. Having to change the brightness TWICE every time I want to change it really blows.
It's not that nobody else has this issue, it's that (for some reason) nobody with the skill to fix it cares to do so.
count me in as 1 of the people that is tired of having a separate brightness control. I can set my brightness way down and in the middle of the night I turn on my browser and boom! a super bright light is in my face.
Frustrating.
Of course I have the issue as all others. But it doesn't make an impact as I always on Auto Brightness
Regards.

Please has anyone had any luck with this. Keep trying others and ending back with stock. Just wish it used system brightness and that it let you close a window even if it was the only one.
Anyone had joy with either?
Thanks
Another one for 'Tasker' to solve
Download 'Tasker' from the market (£3.99 I think?)
You can then create a profile so whenever you open 'internet' tasker will set the screen brightness to a setting of your choice.
Simples
(believe me this is only the tip of the iceberg with what Tasker can do)
Tasker does not have a setting for Browser Brightness.
Hi thanks for the idea, but I have been trying to find a way to do this using Tasker without any luck. Tasker already controls my Screen brightness. Far better than Auto. But the Screen Brightness and Browser Bightness are two seperate settings. I can only get Tasker to adjust the Screen one.
Still if anyone has any ideas, please. It drives me nuts when I turn over at night to check something on the web, then get blinded by a full brightness broweser on a dimmed phone.
Hi
my woman got the Galaxy S2 and has a problem with the camera app. The app shows a very dark screen like a maximum power saving mode. The rest of the apps are Ok. It can help then if I turn off the automatic brightness of the screen and the energy saving settings and turn them on again. But after a couple of days you have to the same again. So she is a bit p...ed about that. Does anybody of you have an idea how to get it stable bright?
BR MArtin
'my woman'...lol.
Anyway if you go into the camera app settings, scroll to the bottom and click 'reset'. Maybe your exposure settings or contrast etc were changed somehow. If that doesn't work...might be something up with the camera, or even some rubbish on the lens. You could just take it back and get a new one..
Never had problems with that, but all I can think of is that the illumination-sensor next to the front-face cam is dirty?
(less light coming tru makes everything darker?)

With the settings in the picture everything is ok. The picture taken with the camera are ok. Also the Sensor is ok as it is working fine everywhere else. Any other ideas?

Strange. Was it like that when she bought it? Just take it back and exchange it for a new one...

666fff .. Why take it back to the store immediately?
Anyways... So I you have the app (camera) open.. Do the bars (with the icons in it) also seem dark or do they look (normal)bright?
Sent from my GT-I9100 using XDA App
Yes everything is dark must be some problems with the energy settings or whatever
BR MArtin
Let me eliminate some causes:
- you've unchecked 'automatic screen brightness'?
(@settings)
- you've tried maximizing brightness manually?
- you've rebooted throughout the process? (giving the phone the chance to apply it's settings, sometimes all it needs is a reboot)
Let me know.

Basically I tried evrything you said with unchacking and Checking the automatically settings and also the additional Energysaving settings it gets back fine for some days but then it changes back to the dark setting unless i check and uncheck the boxes again. So it seems not to be a stable sollution. So I search now for a sollution that the camera app always runs with maximal display brightness
I've tried about everything then.
I ran some tests on my own SGS2 but I can't emulate the dark bars.
Not even by holding my finger over the light-sensor.
But I guess it's like this and I DO NOT know a fix for it: seems like the phone is learning that you don't use the camera much. So if you do. It will automatically go into power saving mode since the priority for battery-use is for system instead of cam (due to low-use)
So the only last thing I could think of, is that you've enabled automatic power saving?
Uncheck it and take Juice Defender as your 'battery saver' fixed alot of issues with brightness going up and down for me(very annoying) never goes up and down for me anymore!.
I hope this is of good help.

Ok will try that with Juice Defender.

I have write me a task with Tasker witch put me max sensor light and auto rotation on when I open the cam. after closing it revers to the normal state! ,-)
I think I had the same problem as you.
In the camer app > Settings > Outdoor Visibility > ON
(it unfortunately resets everytime I exit the app)
Hope it helps
I tried with the Outdoor visibility but this seems to change the colors of the screen and not the brightness.
You are right, that does not work. I was at work when I tried this and it seemed to make the screen brighter, but outside in the sun light it does not make any difference. So I have the same problem as you lol
It's not his screen or image. It's the gray bars on the sides that he means.

I tried the following thing and it's work :
1. Uncheck auto brightness
2. Make the brightness 100 %
3.Check again auto brightness.
On my phone when i made this the brightness on the camera is 100% and is not depending from auto brightness.
this totally worked! seems like within the camera app, there is no auto-adjusting of brightness and it always defaults to what the last brightness setting was set, regardless of auto-brightness status (checked/unchecked).
i have my brightnesson full and have auto brightness unticked
I find that my brightness is OK most times but occasionally out goes dim on checking the setting has gone from full to completely the lowest setting on its own has anyone any idea what causes this ?

I have exactly the same issue and would be interested in any information to explain this.
Do you have power saving enabled? If so it will automatically reduce the brightness if battery goes low.
Glad I'm not only one
Nope not got power save on or any app which could change settings very strange would like to get to the bottom of it
The only thing i can think is maybe you dragged your finger across the status bar and manually changed the brightness setting.
I have noticed if the battery charge is below 15% the adjust brightness is greyed out in the settings and the brightness is set to the lowest level whether you have the power saving set or not, and if you force the brightness up using the power bar widget , when you phone goes to sleep and wakes up your brightness is back to the lowest setting, but as soon as you charge your phone , the brightness returns to normal.
+1 on TinderBox's comment if the battery is low (not sure how low but my test was under 7%) regardless of settings the brightness keeps getting turned down. When watching video or locking the screen etc.
I searched and couldn't find any one else posting this question. I just got the Note last night. I've used Go SMS pro for a long time and want to stick with it. Everything set up fine except the notification doesn't vibrate. I sent them a request but I doubt I'll hear back.
I still have my tbolt and double checked all vibration settings and it still doesn't work. Has anyone had this problem and fixed it?
Thanks

Same issue here. When I set my phone to vibration mode via widget locker, I don't get vibration notification. Fix will be appreciated!
Are you saying you get vibrations at other times?
I just set the phone to silent mode and then it works....hmmm that doesn't make sense. I'm I missing something?
Actually the only sounds I like are vibrations for texts(no tone), phone calls and my alarm. So I would be good if I could hear the phone and the alarm
Ok this is weird.
In silent mode, if I adjust the haptic vibration it determines how much it vibrates in Go sms, even if I have haptic feedback turned off. Notification vibration doesn't effect the gosms notification vibration afaict
So I uncheck silent mode and check haptic feedback. Nope doesn't work...So does this happen to others with Go SMS pro? I'm also using Go Launcher if that matters.
I wasn't getting much help because this was probably an erroneous problem. I think the issue was restoring my settings that I had saved from my previous phone.
I decided to just uninstall/reinstall and do the settings manually.
Works fine now....
Makes we wonder about other settings and backups I restored...
Similar issue
Go SMS vibrates for notifications, but it's not as intense as the stock messaginf app. I've checked all my settings...everything checks out, but it's hardly noticeable in my pocket. I've tried reinstalling it, but it has the same results.

I have inverse issue. I am unable to turn OFF the vibration. Permissions work all over the system except the SMS notification in Go SMS. It won't stop vibrating in any mode and in any case. I have tried all apps but unable to fix it.
BTW, I have sky vega 760S, it is rooted but I am unable to install CWM or any custom recovery. If I could flash a custom ROM, like I had CM10 in my previous 760, this issue had been gone.
For some reason I see the brightness changes automatically in certain apps.
The auto brightness is off and set to full.
The brightness dims in the following screens:
1. Open original browser it dims , if entering web address it is back to full. Chrome does not encounter same problem
2. Original samsung mail app (not GMAIL) dims. If writing a new mail (reply/forward) it goes back up.
The brightness in the browser settings is set to full (not auto).
I tried to find an answer on the web but could not find. It drives me crazy!!!
Must say that I have the phone for 3 months and it started only a few days ago.
the only thing I can remember is that I was on WIFI and it started to update apps but how can I know what was changed and [email protected]#$ed my brightness control?
I assume that you're using a stock (or stock-based) ROM. Try to enter settings and deactivate the power saving mode if it's enabled. Then reboot - just to be sure - and look if the issue is gone.
Can't think of anything else at the moment...
Hope it helps
In stock browser disable auto brightness setting.

I can't believe I missed it. I've tried brightness in stock browser, tried battery saving from brightness menu.
I just didn't notice the toggle of battery saving in the main menu.
Thanks...
Hah, nice to hear that youe problem has been solved
