Screen/Photo Dims While Viewing on Moto G (Android 4.4)
I have a Motorola Moto G Cell phone running Android 4.4 (KitKat). Every time someone sent me a photo in a Text Message, my screen kept dimming everytime. After much research, I found that this is a problem with the default app being Google+ to view photos rather than Gallery. Here is a quick and easy way to solve this issue:
Solution to Screen Dimming Issue
- Open the Settings app
- Select Apps
- Select Google+
- Select Clear Defaults
- Close the Messaging app if it is already open in the background
- Open the messaging app and now view the photo. If you get prompted to choose the default viewer, choose Gallery and then Always
