I have an strange, occasional problem with screen brightness that is very frustrating. I'm hoping someone has an idea where to start diagnosing. This problem has survived a factory reset and flash from Android 5.0.x to 5.1.x. I had also recently cleared the partition cache.
My screen sometimes goes very dim. I keep brightness on Auto. However, when this happens, cycling brightness to full makes no difference to the dim screen. Furthermore, the screen is dim only in some instances, such as:
In other places, I see full brightness. For example, the notification shade is in full brightness (or whatever Auto sets it too).
The other day, I was outside in bright sunlight. My browser suddenly went dim, almost unreadable. I clicked home - dim. I pulled the notification shade down - full brightness. Pulled notifications back up - dim again. On restart, everything is fine again.
I use Screen Filter, but it was not on. In fact, turning it on darkens the screen even further.
Very strange. Any ideas where I can start hunting? I don't know enough about Android to know what could be causing this. Could it be a bug in Webview or something? Thanks!

- Chrome
- Nova Launcher home screen
- Some other apps (can't recall which)
