Screen brightness has mind of it's own

[cbreze]

For the past several months my tablet adjusts the screen brightness on it's own. It continually creeps up to full brightness. I have the auto setting turned off.
Takes a couple of hours after I turn it back down to creep up again and give me a warning that my battery is taking a hit and my eyes also. Anyone else have this happen? Between this and some lagginess thats been happening I'm about done with this POS.
#Samsungneveragain . No way no how!

Did you try factory reset? Maybe you got malware (use the built-in malware scanner if you don't have a third-party security app). If nothing turns up, backup everything and factory reset. This should fix your lag issues and the brightness issue.
