Okay.. so I have my GS since one and a half years and Im a really heavy user. Compared to my mums GS (both phones were bought together) my Display looks horrible! Doesnt matter if stock or not. So can this be possible? Does a display loose its colors after heavy use?

You got to make sure that this is a hardware issue. are both phones on the same brightness level ? try to put in the maximum brightness and compare them with a same picture or wallpaper. mine is working fine for two years.

You do realise that SAMOLED stands for Super Active Matrix Organic Light Emitting Diode. Because the pixels are organic, they have a certain lifetime and will fade out as they get older and burnt out. Using darker colours tends to preserve the life of the pixels as opposed to whites.

Hello, I am experiencing something word with my camera. I'm not really sure if we consider it a hardware problem or something.As you can see, there are purple lines that appear on my pictures.. Why is this? Second question, can I get my phone replaced because of this problem?
P.s. I used to experience this in my blackberry storm 1 after a few years. Attaching photos. 1 st photo was taken with my Note and the second was with my storm.

Do you notice the same banding effect on your phone if you use Gallery or browse the net? In low light conditions the striped effect has been reported by many other Note users - search for "banding" and you'll see what I mean
I do notice the effect but only when in low light - if the screen is set to higher brightness the banding effect goes away. So maybe it is not camera related but more to do with the screen?

Okay, I'll read up on banding later on. I tried turning up the brightness on full and took a test shot and still, there were those lines. I kind of noticed that this banding happens more for whites than low lighting conditions.
Thanks by the way!

Simple test would also be to transfer the photo to your PC and see if it shows banding there? (I am probably wrong but assuming you used screenshot feature of Note to take screen captures?)
PS - don't just say it - hit the Thanks button
Sorry I'm new here. there you go.
Anyway I'm not yet home so have no access yet to my PC. Got to chat and show what's wrong with a photographer friend. he told me that this is a common problem due to the fluorescent light. True enough,I tried some low light shots under a different light bulb and no banding. I was quite convinced and so I'll continue trying to do tests.

Hey I am coming from Galaxy note, but is it just me or the screen's saturation and color seem less compared to the samsung phone?
I didn't pay attention to it before installing the rom but could it be the ARHD Rom reducing it? Is there a way to increase it?
Samsung use AMOLED screen, htc use an LCD.
Is normal that your One saturation seems less...

Yea it's not that the HTC One has lower saturation, it's more that the galaxy had TOO MUCH saturation haha. Although I love amoled for that reason too.
You're fine don't worry. You'll get used to it in no time

I think LCD's color are better and natural.
Amoled's color aren't natural
So I've had my Active for a week now, using the stock ROM and one of the things that's driving me a bit crazy is the auto brightness.
One minute it's almost overly bright, and then later it's too dim. I find myself tweaking it throughout the day so not to kill the battery (the other problem I'm having).
I was using an S2 for about a month sometime last year and remember the same kind of thing. Am I being picky here or is there a better way to control it?

I haven't had any problems with the auto brightness, it seems pretty responsive to me. Granted if I keep my screen on a lot it sucks the battery dry quickly, but the difference I find between min brightness all the time and auto brightness was really negligible even on days I kept the screen on for hours on end.
Battery life is somewhat of an issue I've noticed. On use heavy days my phone warns for low battery after some 8 hours, while on lazy weekends it has been well over a day at times... unfortunately that just seems to be the way it is for devices with these large screens.
im on my 2nd S4A now, my first one had auto brightness from hell... dont know what caused it, but it was extremely annoying.
I'm happy to report that I've started using Velis Auto Brightness and it's pretty damn good. An amazingly configurable piece of software.

Man you are right! This fixed my problem. My screen was too dim in low light. Now it is perfect. Thanks for the tip!:good:

its great that you found a fix! What I seem to notice is that the auto brightness is a lot dimmer when power saver is on and isn't too bad with it off.
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.
I've recently noticed that my phone gets hot when I jack up the brightness. I'm used to running full brightness on my S4 and it never got hot. Is this a One thing or just mine?

It depends on what you do on the phone. Maximum brightness always heats up the phone. It's more noticeable on the One because the metal body of the one conducts heat more than the s4 plastic
htc one is known for its heating, maybe it is the metal cover, maybe some FW issue, dont know
but i have the same experience when aroma installer is on full brightness but cannot imagine to use full brightness for everyday use...must drain your battery

When its on auto it go full brightness and doesn't heat up. Only when forced into full brightness.

Galaxy S affected too
I do get the effect on my Galaxy S GT-I9000 too. It is pretty normal so I would usually set it to minimum brightness (though it won't solve your problem if you like a bright screen).
My Device does not get hot until I flashed Cyanogenmod 11 but I don't think screen brightness is a problem if I love my ROM.
