Chrome-browser brighter than Internet-browser - General Topics

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.

The bright is changing automatically, i believe.

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.

Resolution script

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

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.

Note screen "too" bright?

My XDA friends
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.

Easy way to rotate pictures?

I noticed that there doesnt seem to be a rotate clockwise/counter clockwise feature in the stock gallery. Clicking edit gives an option to open the image with PS Touch or Paper Artist. There should be an easy way to change image orientation, right?

Sv: Easy way to rotate pictures?
Right! In the stock gallery application, click menu (the three horizontal bars) and rotate image to the left or right. Or don't you have that setting avaliable?

This is a bit strange.
They dont have that feature when in the "screenshots" folder. I didnt bother checking the other folders before, as I thought they would all be the same.
I guess I can bypass that by just moving the pictures to a different folder but still not sure why its not available in that folder.
Sent from my GT-N8010 using xda app-developers app
It turns out that screenshots can't be rotated no matter which folder you place it in.
Sent from my GT-N8010 using xda app-developers app
So actually you can't from the gallery app but a way around it is if you use the Google Photos app, just edit it in there and then you can rotate a screenshot in this way. Not perfect, but a nice workaround.
