I have a Galaxy S2 (i9100) and I find the screen really dark while watching videos or movies even when I keep the brightness FULL in the VideoPlayer and the MXVideo Player. Still the videos that are of pretty gud quality and bright enough appear extremely dark in the phone.
Is there any mod or any system file that can be edited. If there is any way to improve just the video brightness?
I am a media freak and I use my phone for music and videos. This would be of great help. Thanx.
Settings/display/screen mode/
Set to movie. That will lighten the contrast so it isn't so dark.

Not much of a help.. Have already tried using all the three modes.
Videos seem dark which is very annoying.

You could of course use that, but there is also a brightness option in the video player.
Tap menu select setting and go to brightness. Put it as high as you want and if it is not bright enough check the outdoor mode.

Has anyone else noticed the Camera app on ICS for the SGS2 is really weird? For instance, I take a photo and it will show the photo in full colour but then when I click on the photo in the bottom left (portrait mode) the image is missing half its colour until I press the return key, the colour comes back but as expected the image shuts and goes back to the camera application. Then when I view the photo in the Gallery application, the image is in full colour. Any thoughts on this or is it only happening to me?

I think it happens just because the auto-mode in the screen bright settings, try it with full bright and you'll see is it keep happening.
I remember also there's an option to set max bright when you take a picture so that can be the reason too.

I think that's what he already has.
Put your phone in full brightness and not in auto brightness and you will be ok.

That's what "outdoor visibility" setting does automatically whilst using the camera. After you exit the camera, it returns back to autobrightness or whatever your setting is.
Try it

The problem is probably in your rom, change to hydrog3n
No you guys think too much.....
When you are on auto bright your picture also is dim when you watch in gallery, you need to be set Max bright.
That's what he (OP) was asking

oh yeah, it gives you a different screen brightness on your camera, it should be somewhere in your settings, if not just play with the screen brightness till they look the same
dude. it has yellow tint now, which is worse than blue tint, blu tint sharper,thus better!
Hey
Ive compared video playback of the s3 with my gnexus and it was really bad.
The whole video was oversaturated and too dark. In the dark areas there is no detail.
The display mode and videomode configurations are complete crap and made things even worse.
Everything else of my galaxy s3 seems good. So i dont know if its a general problem or just my s3.
Hope someone can help me fix this.
Like here?

Change screen mode in settings / display. Maybe try natural.
Brightness for the video player is managed inside the video app. While the video is playing hit menu then scroll down to settings and adjust brightness there.

Adjust the brightness within this video itself solve the problem.

Yes like in the video but the gakaxy nexus dont has this problem. And the gnex has also an amoled hd.
Making the brightness higher just helps a little bit and the warm cold or video mode natural mode configurations are awful.
And the biggest problem is that dark areas of the video are just plain black with no detail. Brightness can be fixesd by adjusting it manually.
I think its an calibration problem but i dont know how to do it. -.-
Is the video in 720p? Everything I watch in 720 looks perfect
How do I adjust brightness when watching videos?
Been looking everywhere.
What video player are you using?
Never used stock video player. If you want to try alternatives, both MX and Dice allow one to do this via on-screen swipe.

The one I'm using is called MoboPlayer. Simple swipe up/down on the left of the screen while playing video adjust brightness while swiping up/down on the right side adjust the volume. Plays any video formats also.
I've been using the stock videoplayer. Surely there has to be a way to adjust brightness?

Just use MoboPlayer. You can adjust brightness while watching video.

Hi all,
So I was watching the latest Dexter episode on my phone during my commute to work, and I noticed that in low light scenes, there seemed to be an oversaturation of red. Pretty much Dexter looked like he had a really, really bad sun burn all throughout his body whenever there was a scene with low light. I checked out the video on my laptop, and during the low light scenes, the color of his skin was fine.
Now, I know that these displays are normally calibrated for such oversaturation to make the colors "pop" more, but this was pretty extreme -- his face was more red than pink/white. Is this a problem with just my phone or is it a known problem with displays calibrated for oversaturation? Also, is there a way i can tweak the phone so that it's not like this?
Thanks for you help in advance!

Ahha! That seems to have done the trick. Is there a way for my phone to automatically change it to "movie mode" when I am playing a video file? The auto adjust feature was on, but it never did adjust it when I was playing that movie file.....
Thanks again!
