Tonight before bed I decided to watch a Netflix movie. I noticed during the video playback the capacitive lights are always on. Not like the YouTube app where they only light if you press one of them. Anyone else notice this? It's rather annoying when watching movies in the dark.
That was an issue with the s2 also
try going to:
Settings -> Display -> Touch Key Light duration -> Always off

Is there a way or an app in which you can watch a video thru hdmi with the screen off?
I'm looking for a solution also. I thought my prime would be able to replace my media player but when the screen is always on it's terribly distracting, even if the background is black.
Screen off puts it to sleep. As far as I know there's no workaround.
But if you use dice player every video I've tried has used hardware decoding and gives you the black screen. Helps on battery as well as not being distracting. Swipe down to decrease brightness on the black screen even further. Doesn't affect you're actual brightness setting.
My tablet screen goes into a sleep mode after minute. but continues playing video. I also have it plugged in. I was using the crunchyroll app so I don't know if it will work for other apps. My best guess would be go into settings and click on display and adjust the time till the screen turns off. The last thing is you can just close the prime if you have the keyboard station or just flip it over so the screen is faced down.
I don't mind the screen on but would like if off to save on battery.
I when i record a video and play it back. As soon as i start play, the screen dims.
I just got my S3 a few hours ago and its not stock. Is that a normal behavior?
My previous HOX did something very similar.
thx, nearly
Check for the brightness settings in the video player, it's on auto brightness, turn it off.
Sent from my s3
thanks a lot
Everytime I playback videos i've filmed they look very dim, yet if I hit backup it momentarily shows the video at its correct brightness level. Plus also the preview of the video is at the correct brightness level.
I've tried changing a few of the phones Display settings but nothing seems to stop this from happening. If anyone has any ideas it'd be appreciated.
Go into a video, pause it, hit menu and change the brightness from inside the player, disable auto-brightness as well while you are at it.
Ahh got it. I was doing that but initially could only see a few options, this time though I tried scrolling down and saw a load more including settings where I was able to disable auto brightness. Thanks.
So I downloaded a screen filter app of Google play and I've noticed that when I switch to full screen in the YouTube app and the play/pause button disappears the screen turns washed out. I don't remember it being like that before I got the app so I uninstalled it and that didn't work so I reset my phone but that still didn't work. It also happens watching videos off the internet in the stock video player. Is there a way to fix this or has it always been like that?
We've got the MediaPad M5 with attached hardware keyboard. (Original Huawei/Fine Triumph Folio keyboard)
In Netflix, as soon as we move the mouse cursor, the video turns black. Sound is still playing, overlays like subtitles and time line are still visible, but the video itself is not. Wait 15 seconds for the mouse cursor to fade away, and the video comes back.
I've also tried YouTube, Plex and the video streaming app for the national TV here, and they do not have this problem.
I've tried re-installing Netflix, rebooting the tablet, changing colour mode & temperature, text & display size, smart resolution, colour correction, mouse pointer size, advanced visual effects, but the problem does not change.
Does anybody know a solution?
I have the same issue but with touch. Idk why
