My display is set all the way up and soon as I open up the browser it dims all the way down? How can I change this? I'm stock rooted also

Definitely is a power saver thing. I've noticed that it does some goofy things in that mode.
There are two auto brightness toggles, 1 in main settings and 1 in browser settings. If it only dims in the browser its the one in the browser itself. While in browser hit the menu key scroll down to the setting I said above and uncheck auto brightness and other settings in that menu.

The battery saver mode auto adjust pages outside of your main screens, so anything that is web will auto dim. You can go in and adjust you web page brightness by going to a web page, click you menu, scroll down to brightness and colors. In battery saving mode it will move your screen brightness to either level 1,2, or 3. You want it default and automatic brightness selected so that you do not see a difference from your phone screens to a web page.

Select Menu, select Settings, select Display, select Brightness, then uncheck auto brightness.
I don't have auto brightness on and set it to 0% yet always changes itself when unlocked.
Anyone else?

Are you using Go Locker?
Is your battery below 5%? For whatever reason, mine does this too when the battery's running low...

Under "Display", "Brightness", uncheck "automatic brightness". Don't leave it checked and set it to "0". Once unchecked, you can adjust the slide bar to the brightness you want and it shouldn't change unless / until your "power saving" options kick in.
This is a different setting than "auto adjust screen".

I already mentioned nothing is set to auto. No auto brightness or auto power for screen. I set the brightness manually to 20% turn screen off turn back on and it goes back to full brightness.
Try to disable Widget Locker and see if it fixed your issue, I saw this issue with my phone when I was using Go Locker and Go Launcher Ex and set the Go Locker to Default Lanucher.
Then I reset the default to Go Launcher Ex and it worked for me.
So, I'm digging the stock Sense settings widgets for quick on/offs from my home screen. Wifi, hotspot, etc are all incredibly convenient. I'd like to use the screen brightness one also. It basically toggles the backlight in one-third increments, and its indicator "lamp" has three segments to tell you where it stands.
BUT... I like to keep the brightness set to automatic, from the settings-display menu. And if I ever want to override this (movies, etc.) with the widget, there's no way to set it back without going into the full-blown settings menu.
Would be niiiiiice if HTC updated the widget to support automatic brightness. Heck, they could even make it work so that just the middle indicator segment would light up to let you know you're in automatic state.
Hope they're listening. Meanwhile, does anyone know of a decent, ad-free alternative? Or can the stock one be modded?
There's the advanced settings toggles that add that and many other settings to your drop down menu.

Thanks for the reply. Where might one find these advanced settings toggles? I've been through the phone pretty deep at this point and can't recall seeing them.
The Android settings widget that comes stock on the HOX will cycle 3 different brightness levels + auto brightness.

It's a mid you'll need to flash, on deodex rims only.

Thanks, both. I'll check themout and keep my fingers crossed that HTC eventually does the right thing with their own widget.

I'm not sure if it's just my phone or if everyone's does this. Say, I get an email and I click through the email link to a website, regardless if I choose native browser or Firefox, the screen dims when showing the browser. Anyone have any clue how to stop this? It's very maddening when the browser dims and immediately goes back to full brightness when I go back one stop to the mail application.
i have it set on full brightness, this ONLY happens when I open the browser.
Do you have power saving on? If so there is a setting there called background color. If this is checked that's your problem. Settings > power saving > background color (uncheck it)

Thank you for a quick reply. I went to the settings > power saving > background color, I don't have power savings turned on, but the options were all checked any way. I turned it on, and unchecked all the options and the power savings section turned off again because I imagine I disabled all the options.
Tested it by clicking a link to a website and choosing default browser, and it still dimmed the screen halfway it seemed. The screen does NOT dim if I select to use Firefox however.
Unfortunately, that didn't work. Any other suggestions would be most appreciated.
In the browser go to menu -> brightness and colors -> uncheck automatic brightness. The browser has its own power saving settings so you have to choose this option from within the browser. This aggravated the heck out of me until I found it too.

That was it. How come the browser has it's own power and brightness settings? Very weird. Almost a hidden setting if you ask me.
Thank you again.
Didn't realize the default browser has that either but I use chrome!

Guess that explains why I wasn't seeing this behavior, since I use Opera - it autowraps text when zooming, unlike the stock one on the GS3 (loss of highly useful function, anyone?).

To auto wrap in stock browser just go to settings -> advanced -> and check auto-fit pages... not hard

The stock browser word wraps just fine for me.
I mistakenly set the screen modes somewhere during setup. I want them on dark but have no idea where they are in settings. Could someone direct me.
Thanks

I think your looking for "Performance mode" that would be in the pull down menus from the top of the screen. Pull it down select performance mode and there is txt in blue you can click from the pop-up window called "customize" can set whateve resolution and brightness you want. Can always toggle off to save battery and so on.
