After I set my brightness level to lowest (non auto), about 4 hours later it displays medium bright. When I try to adjust the level, the meter has no affect to actual brightness. This starting occurring after I updated to 4.2.1. I've switched to the stock deoxed 4.2.1 also to the nightly and the same occurs. Is any one else getting this?

I'm getting the same behavior. This just started happening maybe a week ago. My phone just stops responding to changes in the brightness settings, and it doesn't matter if I try to change it in the power control widget or the actual manual brightness setting. A reboot corrects this, but it's pretty annoying. I'm still totally stock btw. (no root, unlocked bootloader)

Display Brightness problem with my Galaxy S
Hi I have bit of a problem with my galaxy S' display. The display uses a ton of power (90% +, going down 1% every 2-3 minutes with display on) as per the OS usage data. I have not experienced brightness settings / power saving mode as having any effect in terms of extending my battery life.
Now here's why I think there might be something wrong with my phone. I know two other people that also have a Galaxy S. We come together often last time I noticed their displays are MUCH MUCH brighter. I took all three phones on the table and noticed that regardless of the brightness level I set on all three phones, whether it be the minimum brightness setting or full brightness (all 3 phones SAME settings of course) mine is always the darkest. Also their phones display 40-60 % from the total power used by their display's rather than mine always showing 90%+.
I tried a battery recalibration etc this doesn't do anything in my view. After trying some great suggestion on this forum, I alway set the display to its lowest brightness setting, still no difference.
One of those other phones is running the same S/W as mine (doc's rom JPA) the other is still on JM2, so I can definitely exclude the firmware version as a cause.
Any thoughts suggestions as to how to solve this? Or might I just as well stop bother with that and have Samsung exchange the phone's display?
I have the same problem.. Did you find a solution?

Hi, No unfortunately I didn't. It is kinda strange I'm not getting any response on this thread. If you and I are having the same issue, I find it hard to believe we'd be the only ones!
There is a "smart management" option under settings (saves battery). This seems to change contrast etc when enabled and makes screen dimmer. I have to SGSs and I can confirm that, Check it and tell me whether it worked.
nb: this option will make a full white screen dimmer than if you have half white and half black (the white will be brighter in the second case - probably to improve contrast).
Hmm.. this is what I did.. I placed the brightness slider to the left and switched on the automatic brightness control. Now battery use does not show 50% or more in average use, but seems normal, like it was before froyo
Smart Management is off
Hi Guys,
Since I have BroodRomRC2 with Cranium v6 Kernel my battery stats are weird. It sais my display is using a lot of battery, but I have set the lowest brightness there is. I already tried to fix it by resetting Battery Stats in Recovery... What can I do?

It's normal having display usage around 50%, the only way to make it last longer is displaying dark images, since super amoled screens waste more battery with bright images than dark ones, 'cause we have not retroillumination but each pixel is emitting his own light. Dark/Black backgrounds, dark themed apps etc improve battery time.
Mine with heavy use is around 40%. Dark background, black themed GOsms, black gReader, and so on..
BTW, wrong section
One thing i have realised since i have switched off automatic brightness and set screen to lowest brightness. Androids own browser is using more brightness than other programs. That is one of the reasons i have started to use other browsers.

Press the menu u'll see brightness setting. Change it. The default browser is the best
If your screen is the biggest consumer of energy it means you have a very batterysaving rom be happy with it !
Anybody else got battery drain while listening to music? (mediaserver drains about 40% when only music is on)
I got my Nexus 7 8GB this morning from Google Play and I don't notice a difference between automatic brightness, minimal brightness, and maximum brightness. If there is a change between these settings it is very very slight. I've already been updated to JRO03D and I've done a factory reset and I still can't notice a difference. Is there something I'm missing or something I can do to fix this?
i read somewhere on here last night that their 16 was not as bright as their friends 8...i have a 16, so i decided to check this out
i turned the lights off and went from min to max...it went up incrementally until 70% when it seemed to plateau
anyone else noticing this with their 16 (or 8)?
The attached images should speak for themselves. My brightness settings are at their lowest, at least the one I could find is. But still the consumption is around 80%. I lost half of my battery in three hours.
This problem started after I flashed to http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1757272
I fear there is some hidden setting or something to fix this, as the screen should be a bit darker, but i have failed to find anything useful.
Edit: Got an app called "RootDim" and used it to set brightness to 1 but the screen still remains way too bright.
I have a totally stock GT-i9500 since the begining. since the last OTA update I am experiencing some issues as follows:
The wifi connection keeps dropping
while the auto brightness is enabled and the brightness minimum level is set under -3, when at minimum brightness the brightness keeps fluctuating. This does not happen if I manually drop the screen brightness to the lowest while auto brightness is deactivated.
Battery drains quicker than before
the current Build No JSS15J.I9500XXUEMJ8
Baseband I9500XXUEMJ8
any help would be appreciated

did you try factory rest after doing OTA update,it solves the problem most of the time
as for wifi disconnecting,there already added many threads troubleshooting the problem(like this one- http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2272519)
try searching around a bit,maybe you will find something..
