When someone develops a rom for this phone, can you boost screen brightness in auto? My screen seems so dim next to other android phones I put it next to..

I agree 100%. The automatic brightness is way dimmer than my OG Droid, I finally had to set the screen around 75% but now it's not quite bright enough for sunlight and too bright for nighttime.

Probably intentionally dim out of the box w/auto-brightness to save battery.
Would be cool if you could choose your auto-brightness settings (dim, medium and bright presets?)

agreed... im greatful for how dim it gets because I know it helps with battery, but being able to configure this would be nice as well.
Just used my friend's atrix.. Someone please hack the brightness!

Screen brightness outside is abysmal

About two weeks ago I turned on my Auto Brightness. Last week the screen just started going dim randomly. To be clear, its so dim I can't see anything unless its at a particular angle. Also (depending on how bright the screen was prior to going dim) if I apply pressure to the sides of my phone, just above the Menu and the red End button, the screen will become bright again. Since then I have turned off Auto Rightness and performed a hard reset yet the problem still occurs. Can someone please help me?
It hasn't been dropped, or been subjected to moisture of any kind. I've only had it for about two months. It was a replacement from Asurion Insurance. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Anyone? Any ideas? Haha, I'm desperate!

Auto brightness on our phones hasn't really been all that great, I've had random dimming or it'll go super bright in a dark room. mostly the issue is that auto brightness on phones is not all that great, they don't monitor the brightness of your surrounding but rather your face and that's where the problem lies.
My Auto Brightness isn't enabled. Yet the screen still goes super dim.

Make sure it isn't on, because it shouldn't happen if you have it set to a custom level
Haha damn, don't like the sound of that. Thanks for the help!

When using the alarm there is what seems to be a night stand option that seems to dim the screen super low...is there a way to make this a dim option all the time? Would be great for reading in bed with out waking the wife.

Hey guys just wondering what kind of battery life people are getting with either of the settings on? I keep mine on a manual 50% and the battery seems OK, but I've seen real good reports of people using auto brightness too.

If auto-brightness was a person, i'd punch in the face and kick it out of my house. I use manual brightness, about 40-50%, i get 8-10 hours out of it.
i use auto on n7 and gnex, no battery complaints.

lol... I have similar feelings
I love the auto brightness, but it makes the screen flicker on the N7
But I hate auto brightness on the iphone with a passion!

Normally I'd agree with you, but auto is actually working pretty well on the N7.

Auto seems to get stuck for me. I'll go in a dark room and it lowers brightness, but won't go back up when it gets light. Sometimes it's reversed.

Agree that the auto bright may have some issues. Sitting in a room with TV and a single lamp and the unit dims. Had to switch to manual to read

its supposed to be like that. Its bright in the sun so you can see and dim at night so still visible, but not hurting your eyes
Manual brightness setting on a tablet is good for me, since I use it inside 99% of the time. And I usually keep it fairly low.
On a phone, you really need a GOOD auto-brightness. What looks good inside can cause the screen to be invisible outside. Trying to navigate blind to adjust the brightness manually isn't always easy.
Overall, I would say the N7 has a good auto-brightness control from when I played around with it. Haven't tried outside though.
I like the auto brightness. I trued manual and auto and the auto gives me the same brightness level I would have chosen myself.

I think the auto on the N7 is pretty good BUT I would like the ability to bump it up or down a bit. So whatever the sensor is calling for add or subtract a percentage to it. I like my tablet a bit brighter so I tend to use manual brightness most of the time. That's really the only setting I am missing with the "phone" style UI. I liked that brightness slider was right in the ICS tablet UI menu that popped up. I am getting 8 hours at 50% brightness most of the time.
I thought it looked rather dim with auto; I've been keeping mine on max brightness since shortly after I got it.

I know how it works, but if it brightens up in a light room it doesn't go down in a dark room and ends up searing my eyes like a tuna steak.

So I ' am an owner of Sony Xperia Z and there are some threads about this theme but nothink straight said.I would be grateful when someone
could tell me if I use pure blackscreen wallpaper or just the darker theme is it going to affect the battery? In a positive way. Looking foward
for šime helpful answers thanks, also if anyone knows good battery saver app would be great when you could share link or name. Thanks.
Dark themes are useful for amoled display that's what i know.

A dark colored theme or a pure black wallpaper won't save battery.In an LCD screen, the backlight consumes the most power (to my knowledge).so whether its black white blue red it should be the same. In an amoled display the battery gain is sizeable.
What will save battery life is screen brightness..so try keeping it lower as that makes a huge difference..
I use battery guru by Qualcomm(Xperia Z's chipset manufacturer), I don't have figures to quote but it increased my battery life by a lot since I have been using it..and it's icon can be hidden and it's very simple to use..and doesn't annoy with spam.

Okay I download that guru by Qualcomm and I got interested in it never heard of it but I got dissapointed the fact it has to know my location for
3days and I gotta have wifi enabled all that time than he actually starts saving battery I don't think I'll
Stick with it

No that never happened with me.:S
Just switch WiFi off, it's ridiculous if the app is asking for that :/
It's has the manage wifi feature which automagically switches from 3g to wifi say when you reach home.
But you can always manually turn wifi off.
Infact I turned that feature off.
Here's screenshots of my settings.

there was an app called a brighter note for my note 2 to make my screen a little bit birghter than the stock adjustment. is there such a apk for the note 3 or any plans of one? Please dont start flaming over making the phone brighter. i like the screen to be a bit brighter thats just me.
no one on this? someone has to know how the old brighter note app worked and transfer it to this one
It's 2 completely different software builds. It won't work.

I use Lux Dash since I think it does a better job at controlling auto brightness, but it's a paid app. You have the ability to manually adjust how much higher than 'normal' it is, e.g. always be 5% or 10% brighter than 'normal throughout the entire ambient light range.
Don't know about brighter note app but lux has been working great for me on s3, note2 and now note3.

You people keep saying brighter this and brighter that with lux, which is not the case. Lux does not give you the option to set the brightness any higher than 100%.

If that was what he was asking, then you're right. He phrased it as wanting a bit more brightness than the normal adjustment, which sounded like auto brightness. Lux will let you ramp up throughout the ambient light range faster than stock.
OP - why not contact the original developer of that app and ask whether he can add a Note 3 version? The Note 3 screen is quite a bit brighter and easier to read outdoors IMO than the Note 2 , but I do understand a desire to have a brighter screen.
