It seems that the phone brightness and the browser are not one in the same. I have auto turned off in the phone settings as well as power saving mode off. I typically use the notification bar slide method to adjust brightness and it works great on everything except the stock browser. It keeps getting jacked up to full on it's own, and even when I turn it down, the bookmark screen has a different intensity.
Is this a problem specific to my phone or the OS in general. I'm running stock at the moment as I haven't been brave enough to root my phone yet.

browser brightness is its own setting.
while the browser is open hit the menu button, then the more option.
brightness settings is at the bottom.
Found it, so at least I know I'm not crazy. Still find it odd though that I can change the brightness of the browser with the notification slide, but it apparently doesn't save unless you change it directly in the browser setting.

Ok now i want to use this thread to have a discussion about what should be improved for the galaxy s III users by the software side.
I say
Quality audio in the video recording
Brightness
LED Rgb(colored)
Audio (on listening) with Noise-OFF option ON in the call settings
Scrolling Live/Static Wallpaper UI doesn't change
Anything else?

Reports say that the 'double tap' the top to scroll back up the contacts list...only works on the contacts list. So, hopefully...our devs can make it universal on any screen that needs to be scrolled. Also, maybe a 'double tap on the bottom' as well. (maybe the double tap on the bottom can take us back to the previous screen position)

A way to swap the menu and recent apps key assignments. I'd rather do the left key for recent apps and hold the home key for menu. Also stock ICS theme with all Touchwiz features
- Reduce home button delay - edit: just found out you can decrease delay by going into s-voice settings and disabling double click home shortcut.
- Improve lock screen wake up speed
- 5 instead of 4 lock screen shortcuts (e.g. i'd like to be able to have phone, messaging, email, internet, camera)
- scrolling wallpaper would be cute
- prevent flashing white notification led when phone is charged? or was it for something else? This actually woke me up last night and wouldnt stop until i pulled the power cable.
- ability to swap icons around on the launcher when the grid is full. Is it just me, am I being stupid? because when a launcher page is full, I can't move icons around anymore. I can move icons into folders, but when I drag an icon over another one, they refuse to swap places. Is this normal touchwiz behaviour? if it is, it's going to make organising my home screen severely annoying!
I'm such a dork, I got super excited that someone besides me said scrolling wallpaper. lol

That white LED woke me up too, its way too bright.
I solved most of the other problems by installing NOVA launcher though, phone wake up is instant, home button twice as fast (but generally still slow) and no issues with full icon grids

Yeh, a flashing bright white led is a strange choice. A dim green one would have made more sense.
Might try another launcher then. Do apex and nova have lock screen shortcuts?

NOVA uses the touchwiz lockscreen from what i can tell, so shortcuts are there.
I have actually removed the lockscreen entirely, the phone wakes up much faster.
As for security, I use an app that uses face unlock only when you try to get to settings, play store or any other app you choose. This way I can access my phone quickly for usual things but have the security where i need it.
I'd quite like the ability the rearrange the controls in the notification menu.

How can you customize the lock screen shortcuts? Thanks

1. Auto light level is too low and too slow.
2.RGB LED too light and turn on time is too short.

What can be improved:
- Get rid of the horrible sharpening that creates ugly halos around text on non white backgrounds. (it is software as using power-save L1 in browser eliminates the sharpening)
- Remove a little of the pink tint in color temperature
- Reduce the millions of always running (unquitable) services running to a minimum so that home screen restarts and browser out of memory are less of an issue.
- Make the home launcher system persistent
- Remove the unnecessary animations that slows down the speed of waking up the screen and returning to home screen.
- In browser add ability to access tabs and url bar by tapping menu when in full screen mode.
- Add text reflow to browser similar to htc. The default fit to screen option butchers the look of the webpage overview.
- Add the option to choose between LQ, HQ or HD in youtube app.
As title states...is there a trick to do this? Notification led works fine for texts, but I get nothing for gmail. Thanks

There's an app called Lightflow on the Play Store that works great for changing the notification light settings. There is so much customization you can do, it's a really great app I would definitely recommend that you check it out.
Just tried that...didn't work. I always used light manager...didn't work at all. Can someone confirm ye or ne that gmail led notification works on this phone?

Looks like there is no way to have multi colored led lights using third party apps...light manager nor lightflow will change colors. Bummer

The LG notification light software could be overriding third-party program settings. When you use the notification test mode in lightflow, the LED does show up as whatever color you configured for that notification. I just got the phone and I haven't had a chance to really mess around with the notification light so I'm not sure.
Test mode only shows red no matter what color you choose in both light manager and lightflow

Then u have a defective phone...
alright, this is what I do to get mine to work.
Download Light Manager. Make sure operating mode is set to normal. Then just to test the LED settings change the missed call of any normal notifications to a color of your choice. Then under the same menu where you changed the color hit Test. Once you hit test a pop up menu shows up. Says something about screen off or something. Well don't click anything. Just hit the power button on your G2 and turn the screen off. wait 3 seconds and you should see the notification blink the color you just picked. now turn the phone on, click ok and click Restart light manager.
Now for Gmail, or other apps to blink custom colors you need to uncheck the notifications from normal system settings. go to settings - display - Notification led. Don't click the on.off switch, click the words Notification LED. Then uncheck Missed call, meissed messages and missed Emails. well, all of this fixes mine. I have Customs LED set and it works fine.
Hope this helps

Light Manager works for me on all those. You do need to uncheck some of the stock led options in the settings. Don't disable, click on the words notification light and the individual selections will appear. Uncheck all the stuff you have changed the color on.

the problem is that light manager doesn't support the power button light so if the phone is sitting on its face you wouldn't notice any notification for third party apps

I can't get light manager or lite flow to work. I read I might need to do a factory reset, but want to avoid that.
Basically in either app, the test mode doesn't even work. I turned all the notifications off but left the notification light on. I know the light works and they light up when enabling them there. Gmail never works and same with Google voice. The calendar and text do work.
Anyone have thoughts?

I did a another factory reset. Lite flow didn't work at first, but it ended up working. Just make sure you install it before anything from the play store. I bought the full version so i could control Google voice. Well worth it in the end. I'm still ironing out the settings,but it works well now.

Let us know how it's working for you in a couple days.
I had it working on mine as well, but always after a day or two, it starts giving phantom notifications (the LED lights green, even with no notifications) and also using green for any notifications (it completely ignores the custom color setting).
I'd love to hear that it's still working for you in a few days. I hate not really having use of the LED for my needs (such a waste of a multicolor LED )

Yes, both Light Manager and Light Flow works for me. I'm rooted with the notifications lights turned on but the individual lights off. 90% of the time it would display the correct colors but sometimes it will go to the default green for my gmail. My charging color light always works. Make sure the options in Light Flow are correct. Check root mode if you are rooted, run in foreground, and reset color before change. I also have the reduce wake lock checked, and it's working for me so either way should work. To test just set the charging battery notification to blue with it constantly on, then plug in the power. The blue led should turn on.
I've also tried Light Manager and Lightflow and I've got nothing. LED's working with stock notifications, but not with third party software.
Does anyone have ideas for solutions or do I need to factory reset my phone (will that solve it)?
I had the same issue: native LED notifications worked (email, calendar, charging, etc.) but no 3rd party apps (BBM, WhatsApp, Kik, IM+, etc.) and Light Flow would not work. Light Flow was working in that I could hear the sounds, but no LED.
I had been using Light Flow on a GS3 for over a year so I was familiar with the app but nothing I did got it working.
Finally, I decided to do a factory reset; however, I first turned off "save settings to google servers" (paraphrased) and turned off "automatically restore apps and settings" (paraphrased). After the reset, I re-installed Light Flow first and then a 3rd party app (BBM, I think). Did a quick test and Light Flow was working! I then reinstalled the rest of my apps and for the most part everything is working.
Only two slight issues: my Email LED is green rather than the yellow I set it for (although it seems a very bright green, I wonder if they are both working?), and my Calendar reminder does not work at all (natively or using Light Flow). However, I am not sure if the issue is that I am using a replacement calendar app (DigiCal+) or a Calendar Snooze app. Not a biggie though, I am happy that my IM and 3rd party app LED's are working, especially since I am running the stock launcher and my notification badges aren't working for non-native apps (I used to use Missed It! with Nova Prime).
Oh. Same issue. Even the test mode does not work . And i don't want to reset at any cost
Even whatsapp notifications do not work. that's bad.
Might run going into settings > general > accessibility and check to see if Lite Flow or Lite manager is on in the services. Hope this helps

Light flow accessibility option on makes the default video player bottom bar not go away. Figured it out with my Mega. Tried on wife's note 3 and it does the same thing. Without accessibility light flow will not work properly

Light flow works without accessibility option. Be sure to check notification access in the Android settings though! The bug with the accessibility option you describe comes in many other forms too. For example once the accessibility option is active all gestures stop working( like one handed use gesture). The bug is pretty nasty and persists since years on different Samsung devices. There is another thread about this with more information.
