I don't know what it is but my Z3 is getting dimmed a little bit after I swipe to unlock. When I press the power button, the screen turns on with a bright wallpaper, after I swipe to unlock, the screen dims like 5% brightness immediately, but in some cases several seconds later. Because the lock screen is the same as my wallpaper, this issue is very obvious. I have turned off auto brightness.
This is not so bothersome to me but it's strange? Any ideas?

Doesn't do that on mine. Do you have any power saving features on ?
Aside from auto brightness I can't guess what would do this.

Maybe its normal but I have smart stay on so if i am looking at the screen it dims but doesn't turn off. This happens even with auto brightness, power saving and auto adjust screen tone turned off. the browser also has auto brightness turned off. the only thing i can think is maybe there is a conflict with quick settings which also has auto brightness turned off. if i am not looking nat eh screen it dims and in a few seconds shuts off.
what mine does...
Same here. I even start blinking and moving my eyes to see if it will stay on. I know I've got to look like an idiot.
Currently not being productive on my S3.
I have been playing with smart stay as well, but I haven't seen that it keeps the screen on any longer ... maybe I just haven't had enough patience.
smart stay does keep my screen on but it does not prevent the screen from dimming. I think the phone automatically dims right before its about to shut off even if i have all dimming settings turned off. right before it shuts off smart stay keeps it on but only after the screen dims thus i am stuck with a dim screen.
At first I thought this was impossible, I am using "Light Flow" and always as soon as I unlocked the screen, the led turned off.
But now, I flashed a kernel with touch controls, and I notice that when I wake up the screen with a double tap or a swipe, and I'm on the PIN/etc locker screen, the led is still ON! In fact, it can stay on until I unlock the phone..
If hardware can handle screen and led on at the same time without a problem, there's any way to keep it ALWAYS on without caring if you wake up the phone with the button or unlock it?
Thanks!
When my screen dims after inactivity, it dims to the point where I'm actually thinking the screen is off. Is this a setting I can change.
(Not the time out, but how dim it actually goes?)
im using stock rom light manager for notifications, and have it checked so every notification lights up the screen.
the problem is when the screen starts dimming in a minute, just before locking and letting the LED kick in, it wakes the phone up back to a fully lit up lock screen...and the cycle always continues until I lock manually with finger.
any help????

Check your settings in light manager, make sure there is no notifications pending in there, any you have say read from the lock screen which doesn't appear in my experience clear these as read. Once in a while I have to go in and cancel the notifications (lightflow) is what I use, although I just use to to illuminate the led's not the screen (otherwise my battery would be flat in half a day)
I have had my z3 for a couple months now. Yesterday the screen dimmed down significantly and will not brighten back up no matter what I do. I have turned of "Auto Adjust" and all that. I have manually increased the screen brightness to maximum and it does not thing. The current brightness is good enough for indoor use in a area with not much light, but in a bright room or outside I can barely tell what is on the screen. I have powered the phone off and restarted it several times. It's like it is stuck in some kind of battery saving mode that it won't come out of. I made sure that all battery saving modes are turned off. Nothing effects the screen brightness no matter what I do. Please help!

Does it happen in safe mode? (Long press power button, long press "power off" text, ok). If it doesn't, some app is responsible. Last resort would be to do a factory reset.
