Hi guys, I got my sgs3 within the first 1/2 hour of its official launch and I had been playing around with for the past few hours.
Does anyone notice that the screen automatically dim when watching a video on the stock player? I have already eat the brightness setting to max under manual in the display settings. The stock player has no options or settings to disable auto brightness. Is there any way to work around this?

Same problem here. Tried that same setting too doesnt help..
The video player has a separate setting for brightness. Go to setting from within the video player to change it.
I did something silly on my SSGII - the controls for brightness in the settings menu were extremely sluggish, so I managed to disable auto-brightness and set it to 0 - this somehow now also disables all input buttons, so as soon as playback starts, the display goes black.
I can only get control back by pushing the powerbutton twice (to 'turn off display' and 'turn on display' again), slide the lockscreen out of the way and as quickly as possible push the back-button before the display goes black again..
This thread is the closest I've been able to locate with respect to the stock player in the stock ROM on a Samsung.
Would anyone know if there's a settings-file somewhere I can edit or delete to get my player back?
Samsung Galaxy SII - ICS 4.0.3 kernel 3.0.15-I9100XWLP7-CL340913
Cheers!

can someone please tell me how to disable auto brightness on
x10i eternity rom build 003
i tried using every brightness app/widget possible to turn it off but as soon as i turn it off and put the phone under different light setting i can see that the auto brightness is still on
i tried using adjbrightness but it keeps telling me that my phone isnt rooted; anyone get this app to work on x10??
please help n sorry if this questions been asked and answered before. this forum is getting too big and broad sometimes to find anything
thx in advance
Have you tried Sparepart? (That's the name)
Strange, i can't seem to turn on my autobrightness. It used to work perfectly in android 1.6. And i haven't noticed it untill recently. When auto brightness is checked, it just stays the same, even when i hold it directly under a lamp. Maby there is a bug in the software that prevents switching it on or off?
I'd also like an answer to this problem, because with auto brightness on the telephone is a battery eater.. you have to keep it to the minimum level to disable it, but when you are under a strong light, like outdoor with a sunny weather, it's difficult to see your screen's details. as you select a brightness level different from zero, the autobrightness turns on and eats the battery.
I hope I'm missing the solution to this, and somebody will help, because all the applications i've tried (spareparts included) didn't worked.
I'm quite confuse now.....
What actually do we need......
Turn it on...
or
Turn it off...
LOL
heh, so some people want a way to turn it off and others, like me, want to find a way to turn it on?
what a crazy phone..
I'm sure there used to be a tick box in the display settings to turn on/off the auto brightness. Anyway, i've tried various applications myself to get it on but nothing does it. I think the best solution is for us all to swap phones .
Spare Parts doesn't work for me, i tried enabling it, restarting the phone and jumping under my duvet.. but it didn't change
Did you update to 2.1? It was disabled in 2.1 as far as I know.
So the easiest solution, upgrade to 2.1! Else, I don't remember the menu but it's somewhere in the settings under 1.6.
I think we've all updated to 2.1 here =)
and yes, in 1.6 there was a box to tick to unable/disable autobrightness.
But, in 2.1, this feature has disappeared, leaving a seekbar and a damned widget which doesn't allow you to set or no autobrightness.
Hi,
The autobrightness is still there. It can be turned on/of from a stock SE connection widget. The different state for brightness is "minimum" -> "auto" -> "maximum"

Thats pretty much, exactly, what dpk0875 said, if i'm not mistaken.

I can get, either 0%, or 100% brightness, with the ambient sensor disabled. Anything in-between, fades constantly.
No fix for this, i presume?
Reading websites while the screen fades in/out every couple of seconds drives me mad.
Ive never had any problem with it as long as you dont lean in front of it all the time lol.

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 all so recently my galaxy s2 whites don't have the vibe/brightness they had before. Using the internet or gmail for example is where i am noticing the problem. Things I did before I started noticing this issue was clear ram/do a backup using cwm and let my friend use the phone. Any ideas what might cause this? and yes i have brightness set to 100%
Which ROM are you using? If you are on a stock ROM go to Display settings and there will be a Background Effect option, changing this may help you. Might sound stupid but check your brightness while you are in the Display settings. Also, I'm not sure on this but I think there is a specific brightness setting in the browser options make sure you have a look around there too.

Thanks for the quick reply. I am on the stock rom with brightness maxed/background effect on standard browser brightness is also 100%.
The white text/app icons in the homescreen/application drawer have the bright whites i want but when i actually go into an app they aren't as bright as before.
Hmm update when I have the internet browser open and click the search bar to type in an address the screen gets really bright as it was before but when i close the search window that brings up the keypad it goes back to the previous dim white/colors. pressing the menu button in an internet browser also has the same effect
I think I fixed it there was an option in display called auto adjust screen power that was checked. Does clearing the ram reset all settings back to factory settings or something?
Hi,
I have SGS3 with 4.0.4 - I9300BULG2 and I have problem with brightness in the browser -
now is too dark (after update firmware) and there is no possibility to change this, becouse there is no option to change brightness in the browser.
It is possible fix it?
thanks

Ello,
You have the power saving mode enabled you might wanna disable it via notification drawer or settings (I felt a bit dizzy and light headed with that low brightness on stock browser). If the power saving mode is on it automatically decreases the brightness in a stock browser to save some juice on the s3.
aaah yes. Power Saver Mode I had off, but I turned it on, and than again off, and it's better.
Go into the power saving settings and switch off the background colour option. Then you can still have the other power saving modes on.

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
