Ah, I forgot about the the Device Management → Screen Brightness setting. I saw it when creating the post above with all the settings I generally use, but didn’t go back and try it. I just gave it a try and it does seem to set the brightness back to whatever value you specify whenever Fully Kiosk Browser opens.
Here’s the test I did:
- Exit Fully Kiosk Browser
- Manually adjust the brightness to a low value using the drop-down shade
- Reopen Fully Kiosk Browser and the brightness went back to the setting under Device Management → Screen Brightness
- Wait several seconds for the screensaver to kick in and the brightness went to the level specified under Screensaver → Screensaver Brightness
I’ll have to wait and see what happens when the app crashes and recovers… but it sounds like it’s working for @Jeff_Fourman!
Important: One thing to note is that the Fully Kiosk Brightness values are 0-255. So for 100% brightness, you’d need to use
255as the setting.
Target Brightness Fully Kiosk Brightness Setting 100% 255 75% 192 50% 128 25% 64 5% 13
I also saw the following tip on the Fully Kiosk Browser website when I was looking for more details on what the Device Management → Screen Brightness setting does. This seems to match up with what @Jeff_Fourman experienced as well. I’ve noted his feedback around setting the Stay Awake option under the device’s developer settings in the original post above.
Can I use Fully Kiosk with an Amazon Fire tablet?

4. Some users reported screen brightness issues where the brightness is not set/reset properly when using the brightness settings in Fully Kiosk. If you encounter this issue please check that Keep Screen On option is enabled in Fully Kiosk. Otherwise Android can mess up things.
