Is this the Android thing or Samsung thing? I've used HTC before and found no such setting.
It is so annoying. Every time the browser is opened, the brightness is changed!
Why the hell do they have a brightness setting in browser????
Ive seen other people complain about the same thing, its really weird.
I believe its to do with the phone being in power saving mode.
Yes, if you open the browser and hit menu and go more then brightness setting. You only need to set it once though.

But when you change your general screen brightness, your browser brightness is still the same.
There is just no point to have a separate setting there.
I agree. It's really obnoxious. Droid comic viewer does the same thing. I don't get what the advantage of having a separate brightness control could possibly be.
The browser has it's own settings for brightness, what's all the fuzz about, I personally think its useful.

i find it useful, i keep my phone on min brightness, but i keep my browser at full lol
It's there because the Android browser is an all-white background by default, unlike the rest of the OS, and may be too bright for some people. Easy to change in the browser and not **** with your main brightness setting.
A stupid thing with absolutely no benefit to anyone.
I hope Android product managers read these forums. But I doubt it.
They should just implement a check box that would set it's brightness to the system. That way everyone would be happy.
I think it is a retarded PITA to have a separate brightness setting for the browser.

I find it useful, but really its personal preference. Just a note, it can quickly be overriden by using the slide to change brightness at the top of the screen.

AFAIK its a samsung thing, and an annoying bug in my opinion.
I don't use auto brightness or power saving in the phone settings.
If I have my phone set bright, I'm most likely in a bright environment. So if I need to open browser I'm going to want the same brightness. The same is true if I'm in a dark environment and have the phone set dim. The video player has the same problem. Samsung should really stick to hardware.
If you set the phone to auto brightness it disables that option, and puts the browser at the same level as the phone.

It literally lakes 2 seconds to adjust it again from the notification bar if you have auto turned off. Not a big deal IMO.
It is *extremely* annoying for those of us who don't use Automatic Brightness. It's this kind of trashy little things that send people running for iPhones...
Is there an AOSP version of Browser.apk I can push (KB5 2.2) that doesn't have this? I don't care about losing the window previews or other touchwiz features of the browser, I'm just *sick and tired* of having to change my brightness settings a second time every time I want to browse the web. Third party browsers are too bloated and don't do it for me... I just want the stock Android Browser, but with the SYSTEM brightness setting only... Like every other Android phone.
Hello.
I'm currently using auto-brightness ("Adapt to lighting conditions") mostly because the screen uses so much power.
Now, when I watch a video in MXPlayer, and turn the brightness to max (well, it's set to play video's at max brightness), the screen doesn't go to max brightness but instead uses the auto-brightness slider settings (as if you are using auto-brightness with slider maxed out).
When I turn off auto-brightness, the max brightness is way way higher.
On my other phones, MXplayer would disable auto-brightness and use the max brightness supported.
Any one know any way to change this?
Thanks
Is there any option to avoid the screen get darker when ever entering any browser ? Not matter if chrome or regular browser and different then the total brightness
As folks know, the power saving modes have some interesting features.
MED drops resolution to 1080p and sets the MAX brightness that auto brightness can reach. It allows a few other items and you can customize them. Drawback is that it throws up a permanent icon that you cannot remove or hide and is rather annoying.
My question. I use Tasker for a ton of automation and powersaving tweaks.
I cannot find anywhere that you can do these things yourself and not use their tool?
Hello everyone!
Auto Brightness is off and at 50%.
I noticed that in certain apps the screen brightness is automatically reduced on Facebook, WhatsApp, Google Chrome, Messenger and others!
When I enter Android settings or other programs, the brightness gradually rises.
With the screen brightness at 100% or on automatic, this does not happen.
Can anyone help?
