Hello, I'd like to know if it is possible that all application adapt to the main brightness setting, for example is I go to settings and I put brightness to 30% all application will display at 30% brightness too. Because some applications has their own brightness settings (like internet browser, video player etc...) and it's annoying to set the brightness on all applications every time.
Thanks!
Bump.
From my experience with the galaxy s and the galaxy s3, I'm almost certain that there's no way to set a universal brightness.
Damn
Thanks for your reply!
try InvisiBright apps....
very nice apps

I found the autobright option (middle setting on the widget) doesn't brighten the screen as much as in version 1.6. Is there a setting that can be modified to increase this threshold?
When i set it to full bright (last setting on the widget), although very bright and crisp, I find it kills my battery life.
The only settings I've found about brightness are the ones of the widget and the ones in the setup menu, under the voice "display settings", I didn't found anything you need but if I'll found I'll let you know, specially if you can tell me how to disable the autobright option at all, leaving the brightness at a value that I want, without any changes by the sensor. I hope this is possible, because my battery is really eaten by my display
I use the Brightness Profiles app. It seems to hold the settings after reboots.
So,
Today I was messing around with GO Launcher EX and GO Locker, and I didn't like the performance, at all...so I did a search and found an app called spare parts that was supposed to help the animation speed, after a while of messing around, I noticed that my display wasn't nearly as bright as it was an hour ago. I checked and made sure that the display brightness setting was set to 100%, and that auto-adjust screen power was turned off, and the display was still about half as bright as when I started today.
How can I test if I messed something up? Or is this normal for a AMOLED display? Is there an app I can download that will force the brightness to go to 100%, to see if some app is messing with it? What the heck is going on.
Emmmmmooooo rrraaagggeee!!!
So I got a app that controls brightness , and in fact confirmed that the default controls were only boosting brightness to around 80 percent. What can affect the settings like this? Using automatic brightness, or changing the brightness through anything but this app leaves the screen dimmer than it normally is. I can't even use the touchwiz settings widget.
Interesting.
So, to further report on this odd behavior,
After further investigation, the brightness with auto-brightness seemingly drops light output further than the "0" setting in my brightness app, and further than the slider allows manually adjusting via the settings>display panel. Odd.
So,
I disabled all auto-brightness via the settings in the TouchWhiz apps (read: the browser and the video/audio player), and was just controlling brightness via the app I installed.
Later today, i turned on auto-brightness again via the Power Saving widget, and the issue where the screen dims farther than any manual settings allowed was gone. Again, i only have an issue with max brightness now-- using both the system settings panel to adjust brightness as well as using auto-brightness via both the power saving widget as well as the system settings panel.
So, in summary: the max brightness issue remains, and i can only set it to about 80% without using the brightness app i installed (the app allows me to set it to 100%....where as in the system settings, the slider goes to 100%, and stays at 100%, but the screen looks like its at about 80%. Using the brightness app i installed allows me to boost it back to 100%, but as soon as i change the brightness in the system settings app, or the power saving widget, it maxes out at 80. The slider moves all the way to 100%, but i'm only getting 80% brightness).
Note:
I have no apps installed that affect brightness...0. None of my apps have anything remotely having to do with the display, audio, or it's settings.
Maybe you can help me?
I turned off the auto brightness in the system settings/display/brightness but it seems that the screen starts to dim (sometimes). I hate this...I have to touch the screen to retain brightness. I don't want auto dimming...I want the level I set (which is about half way on the slider).
Where can I find a master override?

Adjust screen timeout. This happens when your screen is going to automatically turn off
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I717 using XDA
Thanks... I'll check it out.
Also in display settings uncheck "auto adjust screen power"
Was there ever a solution to this? I am now starting to get this issue of screen will not respond to 100% brightness...and the option to change display brightness is greyed out in settings. It seems to be a problem with 'power savings' which I would like to completely remove from my phone as even when I turn it off, it is keeping me from adjusting my screen brightness when below 20% battery...and with my 5400 mah battery 20% is a full 8 hour day left...really irritating...only way to solve is to charge above 20%...or go enable power savings, then disable it again...but problem returns every time the screen goes off.
Hi! My question is: Is there a BIG difference between leaving lowest brightness setting and auto-brightness? If so, how much? (Hours, battery usage, etc)
Thanks! I hope this thread will be informative for everyone..
Auto-brightness consumes more battery because it is constantly changing brightness, if you want the best battery power just use the lowest brightness
as aaitken said auto brightness consumes more battery . its better to use low brightness and use a brightness control widget from market and change the brightness manually when required

If you have a stock firmware, or a stock based ROM, you can adjust brightness anywhere you can access the notification bar. This is built into TouchWiz. Just hold your finger on the notification bar until you see the pull-down shade, and slide your finger left or right to adjust brightness.
I leave my brightness on lowest and adjust as necessary with this, i.e. when I'm in a bright setting, and need to turn my brightness up.
Also there is brightness options in AOKP with the toggles and in CM9 (and most other AOSP roms) as a power save widget bala_gamer's option's also a good way
Thank you very much for your helpful answers..
How much memory should my samsung S3 be consuming on regular use ( I am using Telus version), I am not running any applications and I see it is using between 480-500, also I turned the full brightness on but I noticed that the brightness is not full when I use the browser, it is kind of dim..
This is the first time I use an Android phone and I am already loving it!
That memory use is normal. If you are using the stock browser, go into Brightness and Colors in the menu and disable Auto Brightness. Also, in the phone's Display settings disable Auto Adjust Screen Tone.
I have just updated my s2 ti 4.04 every thing is fine but brightness. Control in taskbar is not
Not working any more, what should i do is there any wayto vet back that option...?
Hi
I use Custom Auto Brightness: it's a freeware that allow you to tune your brightness.
It greatly improve the brightness management.
Lux is working excelent
