Screen brightness keeps switching to auto & timeout to 500min My Samsung Galaxy Tab 2 7" (Android v4.1.1) has been having a bizarre problem since I installed (and uninstalled) Aldiko reader.  It has been setting the Screen Timeout to 500min (which isn't even an available setting in the Display options) and the brightness to "Auto".  Regardless of any changes I make, it changes back immediately to those settings - I can actually watch it happen.

Little help?
While I wasn't able to directly address the issue, I found an app called Screen Control that can modify screen timeout and brightness settings for all applications... using this to reset things and then uninstalling it seems to have done the trick.
