ok, untick auto dim in pull down notification and set the desire brightness you wants(camera screen brightness follows this setting, it will not follow auto brightness), once you done setting it, tick the auto again so brightness is back to auto other than camera brightness.
Ahh.. Thank You.... that works for me. Excellent!

I realise this is a late reply... but I generally find my finger goes over the light sensor when I hold the device in landscape mode, which is annoying. The camera uses auto-brightness fine for me - until I go and look at the picture. It was turning the brightness right down. Unticking "Auto", changing it up, and re-ticking "Auto" fixed it for me. (Why I would want to change the brightness to a setting I've decided I don't want to use is anyone's guess.)

One thing I've found irritating is that the Vibrant has at least two brightness settings. The systems setting allows you to select "auto brightness" BUT
The browser has its own brightness controls and does have an "auto brightness" setting that I can find?!
The screen is so bright you need two settings for it.
Why is this annoying? Use a different browser.
I agree. I see no need to have a separate setting for the browser. One system brightness setting would suffice...
Is that part of the "Power saving mode" (two below the "Brightness" setting)?
That option says "Save power by analyzing image and adjusting LCD brightness". Maybe the browser isn't playing nice with that function.
For the record... Mine is checked and I see the brightness increase on the browser too. I am not in a position to test it at the moment.
"power saving mode" on or off I can independently adjust system and browser brightness.

There is another brightness setting under the browser opt ins when you load the browser itself
so we got 3 brightness settings
Sadly yes lol

4. Don't forget the tmobile app does some kind of auto brightness too iirc.

The browser has a setting because a majority of websites are white, this is the opposite of most of the phone's Apps, so it makes sense that the browser would be different. If your phone has brightness up and you are reading a website at night, odds are you don't want the bright white light blinding you.

I know this is an old post, but damn! I've been laughing my A$# off for 15 minutes straight after reading that! And it was the first anwser! You are a genius
The buttons on the face of the phone are illuminated along with the keyboard backlight. When reading in the dark, these buttons are too bright. Is there any way to turn the keyboard backlight off temporarily?
check Settings>Sound and Display>Keyboard Timeout

Thanks DevilDogVIKING for that tip.
Yes, I can set that to a minimum of 3 seconds, but what I'd really like is to find an app or widget to completely disable the keyboard backlight. A button on the Power Control widget would be perfect. The lights are very annoying when reading with a dim display in the dark.

Same here. I was wondering if I was the only one with this complaint!

Why not just close the keyboard when u not using it?

Applications can somehow reduce brightness more then natve settings can do . For example using cool reader I touched the limits of brightness which are not possible through native settings . This can save eye strain considerably .
Thanks.

can you fix it ?
btw there is also another bug I named it "The orientation bug" since if you lock orientation in landscape mode and press power btn to switch off the screen and then hold the tablet in portrait direction now if you switch on screen the tablet ill lock the orientation in portrait direction instead of landscape .
I'll give it a try later because it's not causing me a big trouble. I got notice the 'orientation bug' but I don't think it's a trouble too. Just hold landscape and log on. The screen also keep locking on landscape

Power Control Plus lets you add a brigtness widget that can be set to a quadruple control - low, medium, high, and auto. You can set the low, medium, and high settings to whatever you want, from 10% to 100%.
Works great lasts a long time B-)

Yes installing cutom brightness widget did the trick

I don't see the orientation thing as much of a problem. But cool read seems to disregard the orientation lock. I can lock it in landscape mode, then lay down to read and it switches to portrait mode. Aggrivating as H...
If you have tasker...you can set the brightness for whatever app you want and then have it go back to whatever dimmest you set.
The Power Controls widget's "auto-rotate" button does not work. It seems the only way to turn on/off auto-ratation is to go into settings > display > check "auto-rotate screen" box. Anyone else notice this?
I believe that is not the rotate control on the widget. It is for syncing.
I also go to settings do turn rotate on or off, but can't get my home screen to rotate to landscape mode.

My bad. I think you are right. It is not for auto-rotation. It is for auto-sync. :laugh:
So i have noticed after a while my screen gets a little dim. I use max brightness and have adaptive display & automatic adjust of tone unchecked. No clue why that happens? Anyone else?
