Chrome-browser brighter than Internet-browser

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.

Instagram and Tumblr.

Wondering if anybody has problems with instagram when editing the photo the image will disappear and reappear. In Tumblr scrolling is buggy and gifs do not work. Both apps werked fine on stock ROM for device but are kind of buggy with CM10.
I can post more details about the rogers skyrocket in the morning if that helps I just wanted to see if anybody had similar issues.

I don't know about tumblr, but to fix instagram, go into developer settings and make sure "Disable HW Overlay" is enabled. That'll fix it.

Thanks that fixed Instagram

I was just looking at the cache folder for the tumblr app and its empty. Which is probably why its kind of spastic and why gifs dont.. well gif. I know from previous experience that the cache folder is quite full when using a stock ROM.

Annoying voice in touchwiz?

Searched everywhere but can't find anything about this.Made a video to show what i mean.Hope someone can help and shut her up!

Have you looked in accessibility settings to see if you have narrator or something enabled?

I found it i disabled/freezed google tts in settings applications and then it was gone

Stuck notifications.

Phone tried to download facebook but network was off. Notification still shows downloading. Notification wont go away.
I tried rebooting...uninstalling and reinstalling app. Still wont go away.
What can i do?
Sent from my SCH-I510 using xda app-developers app

It still shows it as an active download right? Tried clearing notifications with the X (rather than swiping away)? What happens if you tap on it?
Sent from my GT-P1000 using xda premium

There is no x on it. Clicking on it closes the notification window. It doesn't do anything like bring me into the market.
Do i need to clear an app's data or cache?
Does it make a difference that im on tweaked 3.0?
Sent from my SCH-I510 using xda app-developers app

My wife's phone has the same issue. Tweaked 3.0. I don't use Facebook, so no issues with mine.
I suspect it's a Facebook app. problem, but I haven't had time to dig into it.

Any ideas? what have you tried on your wife's phone? Maybe together we can figure it out.

I got it. This should work for you:
Go in to Settings
Select Applications
Select Manage Applications
Select “All Apps”
Select the ‘Facebook’ app
Under ‘cache’ – click [Clear cache]
Clear Data – click [Clear data]
Go back to list of Manage Applications
Select the Download Manager
Under ‘cache’ – click [Clear cache]
Clear Data – click [Clear data]
Reboot if you feel the need.
Good luck!

Rememo, you da man. Clearing the data in download manager got everything back to normal. Thanks much

[Q] Choosing toolbox crashes settings

As title, I'm running 5.02 (Netherlands) on a P900. Everything is pretty good and I can switch on toolbox but if I actually select toolbox then settings crashes. Any ideas?
EDIT: Did a data wipe and that fixed it. Wiping the cache did not sadly.

Same thing happened to me, after going to the notification panel and switching it on from there, it stopped freezing and is working like normal

Same problem with my US version and 5.02. I did a Wipe Cache and that didn't solve it. Also, I don't have the tool from the notification panel, just in the Settings. I am not ready to factory reset.

Try just turning it on, then let it force close, hold the toolbox, then go up to edit, then it should work from there

1. Turn it ON
2. Press and HOLD and drag it UP to edit
3. You will find a list of apps. Choose 5 favorites
4. Click DONE.
5. Go back to the settings, and you will see it active

Thank you. I can confirm that it works now.
I think it's the initial set up that's causing it to crash. Once you have one app on the toolbox, setting no longer crashes when pressing toolbox.

Well, I did figure it out in the original post
Looks like we have a way that doesn't involve a data wipe now though, so that's better

Thanks, this worked.

Wish I would have read this before I did a hard reset

Oh, that's what those 3 dots are!
Thanks, Yoshi! I've been trying to figure out what those 3 Dots were once my Note Pro "downgraded" to 5.02.
I'm having crashes with Toolbox as well. Once I followed your instructions, the 3-dot icon had the apps I picked. Then I realized this was "Toolbox". Of course, a little documentation about what was being changed by version 5.02 would have been a great help. But it seems like it costs too much nowadays to create documents along with hardware/software.
But why would I need Toolbox when I've been using Slider Launcher app for a few months to do the same thing? And Slider doesn't have the 5 app restriction of Toolbox as well.
Now if I can only get my Logitech Pro keyboard and the Samsung keyboard to work like they did under 4.4, and the S-Note widget to show all my notes ... well, here's hoping 5.03 will be soon coming and enhance my tablet instead of degrade it.
