So is there a fix or a switch to turn this off? I have tryed everything in the display settings.

The browser has its own brightness settings. Just hit menu while the browser is open and you'll see it.

Thanks! Missed that option ha.

Just because it has its own brightness setting, doesn't mean I want to use it. I'd much rather have the option to have an independent browser brightness than be forced to manage two brightness levels now.
I have yet to find a way to turn it off though... besides just getting a new browser.

You say you'd much rather have an independent browser brightness, when that is exactly what you have already. I think what you want is one consolidated brightness for the entire phone.

I was wondering if there is an app that allows you to create system settings profiles for 1 click set...
Something like:
Profile:
Office
WiFi-on
Bluetooth-off
GPS-off
Driving
WiFi-off
Bluetooth-on
GPS-on
Home
WiFi-on
Bluetooth-off
GPS-off
Etc...

This is a shot in the dark here because I've never used it, and have deleted it from my ROM, but there is a widget that comes with the stock ROM called the Profile widget.... Maybe that is what it is for?
If that's not it, there must be something in the market or perhaps elsewhere in the ROM?
I've tried the profiles widget, it just changes your sound profile...
I've checked the market, however I might not be using the right search criteria...

Ah ok, I found an app in the market called Quick Profiles... Maybe that will work for ya? Other than that, I'm not sure.
I think I remember that the Epic 4G had a similar feature, where you could turn on different modes that would auto-switch you to different homescreens that you could customize for the situation (work, home, school etc.) It's probably been retained in the latest versions of Touchwiz, as it seemed pretty cool.
I would imagine there's a widget on the market somewhere with what youre looking for. if not, you could just use extended controls so as to quickly change all your settings, since you can customized its widget to control virtually anything.

Isn't it like HTC scene?

So i just found that apparently, 2.3 introduced a security feature that blocks apps and widget from turning on the GPS. i am not pleased witht his, as it makes extended controls and anti theft apps (Lookout, Seekdroid etc.) far less useful. bad move, Google. Why u remove features?
I found that the app o installed does not allow to toggle GPS, must be due to that 'feature'

Is there a way i can script my phone to have 1200x720 resolution only when i open browser, then going back to default 800x480 on desktop?
I have used apps like lcd density/resolution to change it before but i have to manually set it every time which sucks.

Nope, changes to the build.prop require a system reboot to take effect.
You can't just make your phone more hd it doesn't work like that

I an a heavy data user on the Note. Especially during night time I find the notes screen to be"too" bright. And I have the brightness setting set to a minimum.
Have also tried the built in "auto brightness" feature
Do we have an app that can reduce the nighttime brightness?

I use Screen filter
One of the first apps I install when wiping/switching roms!

I'd use ''screen adjuster'' free on play store. A lot more user settings than using screen filters.

Get screen filter from the Google playstore
tryying "screen filter " now, thank you all for your help
Check out rootdim to go to true minimum brightness, slightly darker than what you can normally reach. Also juicedefender has its own auto brightness function which integrates a screen filter-like dimming by shading, works nicely.

Why are some apps brighter than others?
When i set the brightness completely down I noticed it with chrome and internet browser but i think other apps act equal.
Sent from my GT-N7100 using xda app-developers app
The bright is changing automatically, i believe.
Sent from my LT30p using xda app-developers app
But the "auto" checkbox is unchecked.
Is this something i have to live with or are there settings or apps wich could fix it?

have you tried other web browsers?
There is an app "screen filter" from play store. To reduce the screen brightness. Ya. Chrome is a lot brighter. it doesn't even have the inverted mode that stock browser has! (Google must be crazy!)
Check and see if you have the setting to change brightness depending on image content enabled or not (different than auto brightness).
I like the Screen Filter app. I even use a similar thing on my desktop. Bah humbug to too-bright screens.
The screen filter app is great, thanks
But the normal internet browser is still darker. If i open chrome or an other app and than open the internet browser in splitscreen the whole screen gets darker. I thought there were more apps wich are darker but i think i was wrong -> the only darker app is internet but why?
@pennycake this setting changes nothing. What does it exactly do? How can i check if it's working.

Sent from my GT-N7100 using xda app-developers app
I've created a way to bypass the "undefeatable" screen dimming when browsing the internet. I've attached a modded version of Chrome that will not dim when launched on the SGS4. This is only the first step in a full solution, as this app will not receive updates from the Play Store. This APK can be installed side-by-side with the official app.
What I did was rename the application itself in the manifest and then resign the APK. Pretty simple and a good proof of concept that the way the phone knows to dim is based on a specific list of apps that it checks. The next step to a full solution is to find out where this list is and kill it. I doubt it's in the kernel itself, but I'm not fully ruling that out yet. I'll keep digging for you guys, but at least we have a workaround for the moment.

Doesn't seem to work for me. When i start the browser it is brighter for about half a seconde after that it dims again.

Why don't you use the browser brightness setting?
Are you sure you're launching the modded Chrome and not the market one? I haven't modded "Internet" yet, but I plan on doing that too once this is verified by a few people. I've tried mine off a few reboots now and it's still sticking.

Because there is a dimming "feature" built into the stock ROM somewhere that dims both Internet and Chrome when auto-brightness is disabled and you have the brightness set to max. This is completely independent of the other power saving features and happens even if power saving is disabled.
Works perfectly for me, if your phone gets to hot it'll dim also to prevent over heating

If an auto brightness is used, they don't dim.

Yup, that's why I'm using dolphin, I find it better, and faster in a lot of different ways over chrome and the stock browser.
Turn off the auto calibration of color in settings - screen.
