[Q] How to stop videos being dim on playback - Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Everytime I playback videos i've filmed they look very dim, yet if I hit backup it momentarily shows the video at its correct brightness level. Plus also the preview of the video is at the correct brightness level.
I've tried changing a few of the phones Display settings but nothing seems to stop this from happening. If anyone has any ideas it'd be appreciated.

Go into a video, pause it, hit menu and change the brightness from inside the player, disable auto-brightness as well while you are at it.

Ahh got it. I was doing that but initially could only see a few options, this time though I tried scrolling down and saw a load more including settings where I was able to disable auto brightness. Thanks.

Screen dims in video playback

I when i record a video and play it back. As soon as i start play, the screen dims.
I just got my S3 a few hours ago and its not stock. Is that a normal behavior?
My previous HOX did something very similar.

Check for the brightness settings in the video player, it's on auto brightness, turn it off.

[solved] screen brightness lowers when watching a video

does the same thing happen to anyone else? when i go play a video i recorded the screen dims and when i exit the video the screen gets brighter. samething happens when i open the internet browser and youtube. i was comparing images and videos with my brothers phone and his looked brighter than mine and my screen brightness was all the way up. i am running redruM lean stock rom version 2 or 3( not sure what version) for the tmobile. and i also have some mods like build.prop tweaks, sony bravia engine, forced hardware acceleration, moded media-profiles.xml and some other ones i cant remember. im on adamkernel3 when i am browsing the videos the seem bright but when i play them it seems dark. hope someone has a solution to this. thanks:good:
ok so i found a solution: solution here
so basically they each have their own brightness controls. just press the menu soft key and find brightness and disable automatic brightness and set it yourself.
Adjust Video Brightness on Setting (Play video, then hit option).
Also for the browser, hit option while on internet. Unless you got 3rd party one.

Video Playback Brightness?

My S3 seems to have no adjustability for video playback brightness. I recorded a few videos and during playback there is no options to adjust playback quality. When the video starts it is bright then goes dim but if you transfer it to the home screen (small pip window) it will re-brighten before moving to homescreen. Am I missing something?

Same problem here, anyone?
While video is playing. Menu. Settings. You'll see the video brightness option.
Got it!
I figured it out, the settings are there but only before rotating the phone to widescreen. Thanks!

[Q] Anyone Else's Pics in Gallery Darker than What is Seen at the Time of Photo?

On stock TouchWiz...When taking photos, the enivronment I see on the phone screen at the time of the photo looks nice and bright, but viewing the actual photo in the Gallery makes the photo look a good bit darker (even if a use a flash). I've tried several environments (bright/dim) and I've also tried several settings on the phone (camera settings, screen settings, brightness, etc.), but I always see the same result. Is anyone else seeing this on their phones?
I noticed that too! Not sure what to do about it though.
After some experimenting, I think it's the phone's auto-dimmer kicking in after exiting the camera to view the photo. Try disabling automatic brightness control in your notification blind and see if that helps.
Tappin' and talkin' with Tapatalk.
I've tried that before and yes, disabling the auto-brightness does seem to help, but I'm not sure it fixes it entirely. Either way, it seems there is a problem with the Gallery and the auto-brightness setting, which sucks because I hate having to turn off auto-brightness just to look at my pictures (and not using auto-brightness kills the battery).

Screen dimming when watching video recorded via phone?

I recorded a video recently and noticed when I went to watch it that the screen dims dramatically. Happens with with all the videos a recorded. I found this very odd. Is this normal?

Your gallery cam have a separate brightness setting. When you play the video, tap the menu button and then settings. You'll be able to adjust the brightness default for videos in gallery.

Thanks, but I'm not understanding what you trying to tell me.
But I figured it out.
If I scroll my finger along the left side of the screen I can adjust the brightness (right side adjust the volume). I had someone taking videos for me at an event and it seems they managed to lower the brightness in the video player.

My misspellings didn't help. Fixed them.
So (I think) when you swipe up/down on the left it just adjusts the brightness for that video while you're watching it. If you instead hit the menu/settings button (3 dots) there inside the video, you'll be able to adjust the default brightness setting for when you play any video in the gallery. So it will always be brighter, every time.
By doing it the way your doing, sliding up and down on left, I think it is just adjusting the brightness that one particular time, and then brightness will just go back to the old setting.
Thanks, I found the setting in the video menu, but it keeped the brighter setting from running my finger up the left side of the screen. So both methods seem to work.
