Hi
Strange one, when I select internet the screen dims and when I come back out it goes to the correct display brightness. I have checked the settings but cant see a reason for it . Any ideas ?
Cheers
sr
All sorted.......found setting.
There's a brightness adjustment inside the browser menu, it's likely that one of the power saving modes is checked in there, just untick it.

Hi all, finally got my S2 and I'm having a play around....
Love the screen, but it just doesn't seem as bright in apps as it does on the home screen. I know that the browser has its own brightness setting and I've jacked that all the way up but it's still not as bright, I'm sure...
Is there any other settings I might have missed somewhere or are other people seeing the same?
Thanks
Yes, options-->display--> uncheck automatic screenpower saving(i don't know the exact in english).
You get your birghtness now.
Is there any way to turn off the touch button backlighting? I put on a SGP glass screen protector and it's a little off center so the lighting doesn't match up perfectly. I just wanted to turn it off...it'll look a lot better!
Is there any way to do this?
Thanks
I didn't see the menu option. Sorry! Please close.
I have the Settings in German so the names can differ...
Goto Settings, Screen, Touch-Key light duration, choose Always off.
KI3, can differ in other Firmware.
Edit: too late
Hey Guys,
I'm having a weird issue where the screen brightness keeps changing itself every time I turn the screen off. I tried disabling Smart Actions & Automate It (tasker-like app), changing the brightness in the display setting, unchecking the display power saver option. In all cases if I set the brightness to 100% after turning the screen off and then on again the brightness will be down to like 10% or so, although the indicators I have will still tell me the screen is at 100%. Any ideas?
Thanks.

Me too, it only happens randomly though, i thought it had something to do with the"Lux" app i use to control brightness.
Do u use any screen protectors? It could b interfering with the light sensor

There is a screen protector but this is happening when brightness is not set to Auto. It's set to 80% and every time I hit the power button and then turn the screen back on it dims to like 0-10%. I've tried closing all running processes and it still happens. I also tried resetting the phone and it initially wasn't doing this but once I setup all the programs it does, so it must be somehow related to a non-running process program configuration. Any ideas?
Thanks
Edit: Found out it was the Lightflow app, uninstalled it and no more brightness dimming issue.

interesting. I had that app installed for a while, maybe it messed something up that uninstalling didn't fix. I guess a hard reset is in my future. sigh.
Dear all!
I am really in despair
I notice a strange phenomenon on my Galaxy S 3 (German version).
Sometimes there occurrs a flickering of the screen. It is caused by thin greyish horizontal lines which jitter with high frequency at some parts of the screen. You should not imagine it as some blinking of the whole screen. It's only a partial jittering of thin greyish lines.
It does appear at random, I cannot force this effect to occurr. Most of the times it's subtle, but sometimes it is clearly visible.
I read in some other threads that people noticed flickering in dependence of the power saving options. This I observed as well. But I don't know why. Unfortunately, none of the other threads came to a conclusion. And the problem seems to affect only very few devices.
My S3 was sent into repair twice. Two times the touch screen was exchanged. Last time they also changed "some electrical and mechanical parts". However, the flickering still occurrs.
I now tested for a while and made the following observations:
- it's not related to 3g, wifi or mobile connections in general (occurred while switched off)
- it's not related to "automatic brightness control" (occurred with manually set brightness, 1/3)
- it's not due to the display (they changed it two times)
- it's not related to ambient light (happened both with artificial light and in darkness)
- it's not related to the setting "adjust display color"
- neon light helps to trigger it, as well as switching the screen on or manually changing the brightness
- it's not related to any one of the single settings in "energy saving mode"
- flickering "survives" switching the screen off for a short time
- switching "energy saving" off always finishes the flickering
Can anyone shed light on the reasons for this?
Try unticking the second option in Power Saving mode, which is supposed to lower the FPS in order to preserve power. You can still user PS mode but the flickering should be gone.

thank you!
i already unticked all single options there. didn't change it. the only solution is to switch the whole "enrgy saving mode" off as it seems.

I am sorry, I did not read the OP carefully enough, where you stated that

I am using PS mode with all the options checked all the time, I don't think I have ever disabled it, and I haven't noticed the issue you mention. Can you tell us more about root status/ROM/kernel on your device etc? Also, have you tried disabling PS mode and observing the phone for 24 hours or so, to see if it still does the flickering at some point?
I'm having same issue. As for the conditions my result is that it would only appear after wake up when power saving is on with lowest brightness. Also it's not noticeable on dark wallpapers. Any ideas other than "turn off" power saving mode?
Just to add, I'm running stock 4.1.2 version which didn't fix this problem and I was observing phone without PS for a few days without any flicker of this kind.
I recently updated my i9300 to paranoid android to 3.97 and I'm having two issues... First one is that apps that have border ads down the bottom.. Facebook.. Cheeseburger.. Astromanager etc if you take your finger Off the screen the screen turns black with only the ad showing..... The other issue is that the screen brightness can't decide if it's full of low. You press the power button the lock screen comes on Instantly dims.. Doesn't matter if light Meter is covered or light shining on it.. Disabled all power options.. Auto brightness is off... Tried lux app set all to 100% still dims.. When you run it after the screen dims it shows still being 100% touch the maximum and it comes back again.... Anyone have ideas. Googled ads but came up with nothing for black screen issue... Tried other solutions for the brightness issue still no luck.

Go to PA Q&A thread next time: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1887819
Due to lack of graphic driver on 4.3, the black screen thing could appear. There are two+ solutions:
1. follow this step by dontwannabehere

The fix is the following:
On your build prop file
There should be a line that says something like this " hwui.render dirty regions = false "
Just add the word debug at the beginning of the line "debug.hwui. render..... "

for your first problem: the glitches should have been solved with newest cm sources. But look in your build.prop if you have the entry "hwui.render_dirty_regions=false" if yes then change it to "debug.hwui.render_dirty_regions=false" without the " " )
for the second problem I cannot help you, as I am not using paranoid. Look if there is an update or ask in the paranoid Q&A thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1887819 (you could also have asked there your questions )
EDIT: sorry. I am ALWAYS to slow in writing aaargh
Appreciate the quick response... I tried the build.prop editing and this is where it got interesting... I cant edit it ... I've tweaked in the past with ES file explorer or root explorer but on this occasion the apps wont allow it ...does not allow the changes to be saved.... checked the root and thats fine, busybox is installed and working fine... my workaround was to tweak build.prop of the 3.97 rom of PA and apply it it from recovery.... this seems to have fixed the black screen in apps... so thanks for that.
I also just grabbed the 3.99 nightly of PA and build.prop already has the change applied, applying now.... result seems the brightness quirk is still there ... I tried the android sensor app and the lux settings seem to be correct so the light sensor is performing as expected the brightness is just not doing what its told... even if I set it to automatice brightness change the sensitivity and apply 100% to all different lux settings it just ignores it and dims the screen regardless... !!
