I have the lowest setting for the screen brightness but i noticed that it never stays on the lowest setting and seems to go a little brighter... prolly why my battery has been dying quicker this week... any explanation?

Who know's. Maybe it's the lighting when you are walking between rooms or going from indoor to outdoors that has you thinking otherwise.
Personally, I use Brightness Level (CurveFish) from the Market. It's one of my favorite widgets simply because I can toggle on the fly. I have never noticed my screen brightness increasing when using it.
I have issues with the brightness constantly changing. It is extremely annoying. I believe I have all the settings to where it shouldn't change. Its on full brightness, dynamic and unchecked where it will adapt. It is extremely noticeable on light pages like the web or Tapatalk. This is my 3rd Samsung never had issues before. Thanks for reading

Turn off auto adjust screen tone in settings>display?

Already did thanks. There are 3 settings that affect the screen I think. Its driving me crazy

Yeah, it's a phone wide thing that isn't affected by settings. Happen to me when I switch over to Chrome from a different white display. The whites change, even if every other setting is constant.
Basically, it's a known issue with no way to change it at the moment. Not sure if it continues in AOSP.
ok, so try going to 0 percent brightness in a dark room and start like moving around the menus, or using Tapatalk.. do you notice it randomly gets more dim, or more bright, on its own correlating to how much stuff is on the screen? like, I was in the touch buttons display menu and as I moved up and down I noticed sometimes it's brighter, and sometimes it's darker. I think the dna kind of did this too but not as harshly as this.
it's not on auto brightness. I'm on 0, but i think I've noticed this at other levels as well. yeah confirmed i notice it ever so slightly on 40 percent. hard to notice since it's brighter, have to look close. easiest to see on 0.
care to give it a try and let me know?

it seems like it gets brighter when there's more white on the screen. when there's more gray or darker colors, it gets dimmer. seems to do it consistently on Tapatalk when going from like a thread full of white background and then going back to my subscribed which is only like 3 things, so 3 little white backgrounds and the rest is gray.. so it's dimmer there.

and when I pull the keyboard up to reply, I'm using a gray keyboard... so it gets dim bc the screen has more dark color on it.. when I drop it down, it's gone and the screen has more white so it's brighter haha

I haven't noticed any dimness or brightness. I have noticed a flickering of sorts on my call icon and home screen wallpaper. Maybe I'm going nuts or maybe its my eyes...doesn't bother me if its happening. Interesting though.

Maybe it has to do with that graphic ram thats on the display. They said its suppose to save battery. Honestly i thought ive seen this happening on a couple of review videos.
oh yeah? I'm wondering the same. at 0 brightness my dna would change brightness levels around and I noticed it often.. wasn't as hard of a change as the g2 though but perhaps you're correct with the gram!

It's called dynamic contrast and is present in all modern TVs and smartphones
Your TV set is probably CRT, hah?
I would think the constant change in brightness would mean sensors are constantly running and chewing up battery. But then again, I have no idea what I'm talking about

Lol u sound like me, then again i have no idea what im talking about. Yeah i was just guessing on the graphic ram. But i coulda swore on one of the vids i saw the phone was really bright and then it changed and was noticeably dimmer, let me see if i can find it, could have been auto brightness but in the same lighted area it was a huge change if it was. Do u have auto brightness on?
Mine almost flickers if I have auto brightness on,its very subtle but it's there

this. Maybe once its rooted we can find where that is defined... hopefully it is not something supper deep within the code and is something simple like a variable.

lmfao jerk nah man i have hdtvs... i've never seen that before.
do you know the explanation as to why it does it? I'm glad it's not just my phone lol. what's the point? save battery?

My G Pro have same problem too.
But i notice when only watching movies, and not always. weird
Here is how it is disabled on Tegra 3 devices. I'm sure there is just an easy of a way for qualcomms chip... we just have to find it after we get rooted
can't wait for root!
btw, there was a secret menu for the att version where you could turn off the dimming when the phone got hot. if we could get that menu maybe we could turn that

I'm not sure if it's the same thing as dynamic contrast, but it also sounds similar to some content-aware brightness settings included in some ROMs.
Does auto brightness even work on this phone? I will pull down the notification shade, uncheck auto brightness, put the brightness all the way down, check the auto brightness box and it does absolutely nothing. Anyone else notice this?
Upon further review, if I go to settings and display settings and check the box from there, it seems to work. Maybe it's just broken in the pulldown notification shade?

Yes I felt the same. There is absolutely no change i noticed when i set the auto brightness. I just set it to 30% manually. Not sure if there is a issue with the sensor or just the software..
Can someone please explain how the auto-brightness works on this phone it seems to act a lot weirder than my galaxy nexus did. What does it mean when it talks about setting the baseline brightness and in what context? Do you use it? If so what brightness do you have it set to?
This phone has the worst auto-brightness of any device I've used.
I need to read the manual. I'm assuming the baseline is the minimum brightness, but it never seems to change when expected.
I chose to use a 3rd party app to manage it. Lux auto brightness works really well, and you can calibrate it any way you'd like.

I have mine set to 40% on auto. I found the best way to decide the minimum brightness was to set it at a comfortable level in a dark environment.
To test this, set up your minimum brightness, then point the screen (ambient light sensor) at a light source, keep your eye on the screen and it'll gradually brighten. I've found mine to work pretty well and rarely have to manually override it, but the change is a lot slower than my note 2.

Get lux lite from the play store. It works great
Sent from my VS980 4G using Tapatalk 4
Comfortable in a dark room for me is about 5%, unfortunately even in the brightest of sun it seems like the phone never turns its brightness up at all when on auto like this. Anything less than 50% seems to break auto brightness for my device and that is just sad. Even when it works when set above 50%, it takes 5 seconds or so to adjust which is just terrible and the brightness seems to still act funny about how and when it decides to change. It really is the worst auto brightness ever.
Whoops!

Thanks for the recommendation guys that app seems to work sooooo much better than the stock auto brightness so far. The stock auto-brightness is garbage on this phone. Seems like the stock setting either doesn't get bright enough or doesn't get dark enough.
I don't agree, either I have a working phone or others are broke, but this is the best autobright performing phone I've every used, after the hd2, galaxy nexus, note 1 and note 2. Its perfect according to the ambient light situation and is really fast acting

Have any of ya'll tried this yet? I have seen this issue arise when I lower my brightness but this was posted earlier today and I havent tested it yet.

Are you finding consistent performance with this app when set to dynamic? I'm running Malladus on my Verizon G2 and find that it's perfect like 95% off the time, but it sometimes gets stuck on a brightness level and I've got to open the dashboard for it to auto-adjust.
Just curious. Thanks.

I've noticed this as well, only happens on occasion.
I have since changed my settings to only set the brightness when I turn the screen on. I figure I don't really need it set to dynamic since I'm not moving around much between brightly lit and dimly lit places.
