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.

I was wondering if someone could create (or if there already is) an app that will dim the screen a lot more than just setting it to 0. I work late hours and come home, just wanting to unwind and play some solitaire. I'm blinded by the screen. I know that there are night/clock apps that can do this. Thanks!
I second this request. The screen is quite blinding in a dark room. A night mode would be nice too have.

I would pay for this app, blows my mind how they could make a phone that can't dim lower. Even when setting brightness to 10 with Dimmer it's a real pain using this phone in the dark.

I would also throw down some of my hard earned dollars for something like this, i want to preserve my battery and the dimmest setting isnt making me feel happy about things
Why not just slide your finger across the task bar from right to left and it would lower the brightness to the lowest setting. To brighten go the other way.
Way easier than another app.

Thanks, but not what I was talking about. I'm talking about lowering the brightness past that for nighttime usage. I know it's possible; I have a bedside app that lowers it way past the default.
BTW, that trick only works with Auto Brightness off.
yeah this would be nice. also, having those cool filters like on CM6 would be nice too. the red filter is great for checking your phone in a dark movie theater.
Hello guys,
is there a way to let the browser stick to the global brightness setting?
Due to that rubbish 'feature' I always end up changing the brightness twice, as if once isn't already enough.
- wake phone
- think auto brightness is too bright -> turn it down
- start browser -> still on auto -> still too bright - aaarghhh!
later again:
- went outside
- wake phone
- put to auto again - looks fine
- start browser
- black screen FFFFFFFFFFFFUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU
Please tell me there's a work around! This is so annoying and so useless!
There is an option in the display settings about "Auto adjust screen power" and I thought I heard that this adjusted the brightness when there is a lot of white on the screen (like a browser) to save power.
Try this?
Good idea. Unfortunately that's not it. But thanks for the hint, i've seen that dynamic brightness thingy in action and wondered whether i could turn it off.
No, it seams to be a less obvious solution. I'm thinking of the trick to change the user agent. Something like this, but there does not seam to be a about:settings or similiar. Any ideas?

You can change the useragend using about:useragent, but doesn't have anything to do with brightness settings.

Yeah this guy's right, the user agent doesn't have anything to do with brightness or the backlight at all. All it does it trick your phone into thinking it's a desktop PC so it doesn't show the mobile version of websites....as for the auto-brightness, have you got XWKE2 installed? Samsung have much improved the auto-brightness from XWKE1 and XWKDD.
You guys got me all wrong. I meant just like Samsung hid the option to choose the user agent, there must be a place to disable this annoying 'feature' as well. I know what the user agent does, don't expect me to be a total retard because of my 1 digit post count

No, it tricks the web server, not your own browser.

There's no need to be pedantic about it, it makes your phone display full sites not mobile ones, is that acceptable for your exacting standards?

You said something that was wrong, and I corrected you. Why are you being so defensive?
Anyway, I'll make a note that you can't stand being corrected. Happy?

As the title says my GFs 10.1 will go full brightness at random times. Only way to change it back is to go into setting. The slider is all the way down but have to slide it to full then back down. Any ideas guys?
The fix is: Go TO SETTINGS, SCREEN, AUTO ADJUST SCREEN POWER, UNCHECK. Thanks bd85!

I have had this issue as well when using auto brightness function. Only when viewing photo albums. Very annoying. I no longer use the auto brightness function now. Little issues like this drive me crazy. Add this to the keyboard lag and other small issues and i start to question the purchase.
Thankfully i found this site to help me realize its not just me...misery loves company. Lol.
Have you guys tried to shut off the option in setting that's can analyze the screen color and more and the adjust the screen for power savings.
I have noticed what you are mention. And it only appears in movie's because the picture change often so the tab tried to compensate the colors often.
Go TO SETTINGS, SCREEN, AUTO ADJUST SCREEN POWER, UNCHECK.
And I am not talking about the auto brightness that you can access from clicking on the lower right part of your screen

That seemed to be it. Didn't think to check that since the Xoom doesn't have that setting. One thing i wish the xoom had was the whole different wallpaper for lock screen thing the 10.1 has.
Hey guys,
I'm having trouble understanding the autobrightness settings in CM7. I'm fine with the level of brightness it makes, it just takes too long to kick in. I've tried messing with the settings, but to no avail.
I use widgetlocker and worked hard to make my lock screen look cool. I can barely see it whn I turn the phone on because of the brightness.
Any info would be greatly appreciated!

for some reason the auto bright function on all AOSP roms is screwy. i just disabled auto and manually raised it up enough to where its acceptable to me.
Eh, I just set up my own brightness profiles in Tasker.

I would try doing what this guy did. The settings there should give you fairly decent auto settings.

Hi guys,
I was looking for some help/advise on a way to fix my stock browser on my GT-i9100 running ICS XWLP7
When I go into the stock browser regardless of the setting my display is too in Setting/display/brightness it instantly gets a lot brighter.
So I change to low power saving mode through the settings of the browser and it dims the screen when using browser, great!
However after doing this when exiting from browser back to home screen it's affected my overall display settings not just browser display, weird!
Not only is my overall display now dim and auto brightness in settings/display/brightness is now off but my phone has also gone from a dynamic display to a standard display mode, even though it is checked as dynamic.
When I move between these 2 screen modes now there is no difference at all. Only a reboot fixes it.
Does anyone else have this issue?
Any help, advise, tweaks or mods to fix this would be most welcomed.
Many thanks in advance and also my apologies if this has already been discussed but I spent hours trauling XDA and couldnt find it anywhere.
Thanks guys!

The display brightness of the browser is independent of the display brightness of the rest of the phone.

So does this mean that my phone isn't working correctly?
I'm aware that the 2 settings should be completely independent of one another but it's definitely not in my case.
It's weird that it alters the display mode too so Standard and Dynamic are the same after changing browser brightness.
If I don't alter the browsers brightness my phone is fine.
Can some one else try on their phone? I have tried factory reset,wipe cache, flash new firmware etc and nothing seems to help!
Thank you for your help
Can no one help me?
Surely it's not just me that has this issue.............

Can somebody PLEASE help me with this issue, my friend is also experiencing the same problem so I know it's not just my phone.
We would love to know a way to fix it or if someone else is experiencing the same things.
I would be very very grateful for a little help.
