When I awake the phone, its brightness level is dimmed to approximately 50% or less regardless of what level I have it set at. If I pull down the notification menu and toggle autobrightness to On, then back to Off it will reset to the correct selected level.I use it at max brightness for example while it is on charger to test this.
This makes it almost impossible to use the phone outside since it is too dim to unlock unless I use a light.Other times the lock screen will come on then immediately close. This may be related to the cold weather as it doesn't occur while inside.
My "solution" while this has been happening is to place several brightness widgets on a screen and hope I can find them on a dark screen to toggle it back on.Not satisfactory.
I'm running stock, rooted JB on I747 .
1) Autobrightness off . I tried ON but still same problem.
2) Powersaving off I tried ON but still same problem
3) Uninstalled apps such as Lux Free that set brightness levels
4) Changed batteries
It has only started happening in the last week or stherwise the phone has been stellar in the months I've had it. I am not flashing a custom ROM yet as I like the Samsung features.
Any suggestions or ideas on what has caused this problem or on how to fix it ?
Thanks in advance for any and all help.
