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?

Try MX player. Slide your finger to change brightness and volume.

I want to lower the brightness setting for it, but it seems to have a preset brightness setting other than my system brightness setting..
Umm, while a video is playing menu/settings/brightness.

I was guessing that's it, but nothing shows up when I press the option button...I reinstalled the tw video player app, but still no menu popping out when I press option buttpn while a video is playing
The brightness option is disabled in the video player if "auto brightness" in enabled in system settings.
good day.
Go to your home screen and then menu, setting, display
Change the brightness then go back to the video

thanks for the reply. I meant 'nothing shows up' by no pop-up for settings show up on the screen when I press option button
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.

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.
does the same thing happen to anyone else? when i go play a video i recorded the screen dims and when i exit the video the screen gets brighter. samething happens when i open the internet browser and youtube. i was comparing images and videos with my brothers phone and his looked brighter than mine and my screen brightness was all the way up. i am running redruM lean stock rom version 2 or 3( not sure what version) for the tmobile. and i also have some mods like build.prop tweaks, sony bravia engine, forced hardware acceleration, moded media-profiles.xml and some other ones i cant remember. im on adamkernel3 when i am browsing the videos the seem bright but when i play them it seems dark. hope someone has a solution to this. thanks:good:
ok so i found a solution: solution here
so basically they each have their own brightness controls. just press the menu soft key and find brightness and disable automatic brightness and set it yourself.
Adjust Video Brightness on Setting (Play video, then hit option).
Also for the browser, hit option while on internet. Unless you got 3rd party one.
I was 8 min late

lol thanks.
My S3 seems to have no adjustability for video playback brightness. I recorded a few videos and during playback there is no options to adjust playback quality. When the video starts it is bright then goes dim but if you transfer it to the home screen (small pip window) it will re-brighten before moving to homescreen. Am I missing something?
same

Same problem here, anyone?
While video is playing. Menu. Settings. You'll see the video brightness option.
Got it!
I figured it out, the settings are there but only before rotating the phone to widescreen. Thanks!
I recorded a video recently and noticed when I went to watch it that the screen dims dramatically. Happens with with all the videos a recorded. I found this very odd. Is this normal?

Your gallery cam have a separate brightness setting. When you play the video, tap the menu button and then settings. You'll be able to adjust the brightness default for videos in gallery.

Thanks, but I'm not understanding what you trying to tell me.
But I figured it out.
If I scroll my finger along the left side of the screen I can adjust the brightness (right side adjust the volume). I had someone taking videos for me at an event and it seems they managed to lower the brightness in the video player.

My misspellings didn't help. Fixed them.
So (I think) when you swipe up/down on the left it just adjusts the brightness for that video while you're watching it. If you instead hit the menu/settings button (3 dots) there inside the video, you'll be able to adjust the default brightness setting for when you play any video in the gallery. So it will always be brighter, every time.
By doing it the way your doing, sliding up and down on left, I think it is just adjusting the brightness that one particular time, and then brightness will just go back to the old setting.
Thanks, I found the setting in the video menu, but it keeped the brighter setting from running my finger up the left side of the screen. So both methods seem to work.
