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

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.
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.
As title said, my camera cannot display in full screen mode instead it only display in part of the screen as the black screen occupy by the button selection, can somebody help me?
You have your camera set at 4:3 resolution. Set it to 16:9 (slide left menu) and you should get full screen.

Is this suppose to be pro mode in camera setting? I mean if i set as standard to resolution setting is disable and I cannot click on the resolution. Only if I change to pro mode then only i can change the resolution but this is annoying since the pro mode show the information block the screen
To get full screen you must set resolution to 8MP 18:9 aspect if you have M10pro
Or 16:9 if normal M10 i think

No, don't need Pro mode. Just pull from the right side of the camera app. This will get you into general settings.
Chose 16:9 format, then slide the setting page closed.

Disable any add-on. (portrait mode, wide aperture mode) Then change resolution.
I am having the same problem on my Huawei nova 3e. The issue is not about the camera being in full screen mode. The issue is some items which are displayed down below cannot be displayed anymore. For example, if I go to pro mode, it cannot display items like iso, etc so that I can adjust the settings. Or if I click portrait mode, it does not display where to click for bokeh effect or adjust beauty
With mate 10 lite's resolution being 1080x2160 (18:9) instead of the traditional 1080x1920 (16:9), I find that some apps (particularly clash of clans) are too blurry with standard settings applied. For some apps the phone offers the "full screen display" option, which is basically only for apps in vertical position. Due to clash of clans being displayed in portrait mode, it's really blurry up until the moment I change the DPI settings under developer options. Standard is 432 and I change it to 502. But everything becomes pretty small on the phone at that point and after the reboot, it will jump back to 432 dp. Does anyone have another solution for this non-traditional resolution size?
You could try using the adb commands in this post. I used to use it to force the resolution I wanted on my Z5premium

I have also noticed like you that after a restart the changes in developer options reset to default. It's pretty annoying and I can't find the any setting in build.prop to try make it permanent. It's not in the list as far as I can see.
While casting screen to my smart TV using the default options there is a blank space to the left which I assume is due to the notch area.it does not go even when notch is disabled.it feels very irritating please suggest a solution.
