Try MX Player. On my One, it plays everything what you throw on it. Activate HW+ decoder, butter-smooth playback of 1080p content, great batt life (get about 7h playback time from internal memory in battery saver mode with auto brightness).

Doesn't auto brightness drain more battery? Why not set the brightness to a user set one?

It would drain more if it sets the screen brighter than you would manually, for me it is pretty accurate. Played with the brightness bar in MX Player - you can set the screen darker than the minimum auto brightness level there, yes, but then you need to manually readjust all the time when you change environment lighting. That's why I chose auto brightness, it plays back my video content with the same brightness of the rest of the UI.
Anyways, with manual you might even squeeze some more minutes out of the battery but I am already very impressed by the screen-on time, video and audio quality when playing back HD content. My battery stats say the phone consumes an average of 260mA during playback (3G 4 bars, auto brightness, power saver, 40% volume on builtin speakers).

Well auto brightness has never worked for me on all my galaxy devices, maybe I'll have more luck with the One.

how much diffrence between Auto backlight&manual in battery consuming
is there any experience ???
nobody knows?
One week ago, I changed the option for backlight to 5 min instead of normal 30sec. I even changed the backlight on while making calls (tweak cabfile). I don't notice any more batteryconsumption. This is a overall experience.
I think more brightness on the display will be more battery consuming than backlight settings.

Thanks! I think you are right
What ever option you choose that cuts Electricity flow saves Batts.
So yes turning the screen all the way down when only doing calls and at night helps a lot!
Note also that the auto-dim function doesn't ever dim the light right down (no matter how dark it gets) - the lowest it reaches is equivalent to the manual brightness level 3.

I heard that auto brightness consumes more battery
But its also something exclusive to our phone comparing to the s3 mini
So, do you guys think its worth using??
No, if you want to save battery. Btw, I don't think you need to open a thread for question like this..
For a long time I used autobrightness, but now it seems to be better if I change turn the screen brighter when I need, or if the sun shines so bright, any other time my brightness is on minimum.
What i do is:
Brightness- lowest most of the time
outdoor- auto when i want
Btw, for dialling no.s quickly i used a tasker profile (when i launch phone/messaging b/w 8am-6pm it sets auto brightness on)

For those who don't know , tasker is an app which is used to automate your phone. (It uses an"if this then that" logic.
Search Google play for tasker.
Such a setting is called a profile.

I always have brightness at 100 and still a good battery life

Auto brightness is constantly using the sensors to gauge the brightness levels so is no good for battery life.
Use it only when needed like outside in sunlight.
Indoors minimum brightness is fine and is much better on battery.

Sensor should be shutdown when screen is turn off and active only when screen is active. The easiest way would be check interrupts in kernel
Code:
cat /proc/interrupts|grep sensor_name
. If it generate a lot of interrupts when screen if off it may cause battery eating, but then is fault in driver.
I turn off auto brightness first thing. It never goes dim enough when in a dark room or bright enough in daylight. I also see battery saved when I manually control it. Been doing this with all phones I have had... just sayin'

Yes i know its only when screen on.
Would be a bit pointless with screen off

Many reviewers say that they can't get the 1200 nits advertised brightness. I'm fairly certain that the note 8's display is limited by power consumption limits for whatever reason. However if you use any app that supports the video enhancer the display looks to me to be 2x the brightness. I assume samsung did this to increase the battery life. I want to know if there is a way to always run the screen in its maximum brightness mode? Maybe we could develop an app that always runs the display in its maximum brightness.
I would like to force the phone to use video enhancer in all apps including the full ui.the demo units in the store are somehow overiding the screen max brightness and they stay on the full 1200 nits the entire time.ive comapred retail note 8s with auto brighness turned off and set to optimised and the brightness on full.the demo units are brighter on max brightness than retail units.its like the demo units are somehow forcing the screens to full brightness potential but all the time and thatswithout auto turned on.and to get that type of brightness on the retail units you can use video enhance but that only works for yt and another app i cant remeber.
But the demo note 8 phones are brighter than retail handsets on full brighness
I think this would be bad for the screen with time, not to speak about batt wear
After playing Shadowgun Legends many time, I only get 3:30 hour screen on time with the game from 100% to 0%.
I play game each time on Ultra High with 60 FPS settings, audio volume 20-40% on speaker. Battery drain rate during gameplay is higher on Shadowgun Legends.
So, is it normal to get that much of Screen On Time with this game on higher settings and also, device get heated.
What was your screen brightness level?

Hi all, I have been thinking lately about moving to WQHD resolution instead of the FHD that I'm already on. Can someone please share the battery impact and the actual screen sharpness? I have always maintained that the smaller the screen the more difficult it is to discern the actual difference between FHD and WQHD. Surely, the difference is day and night on larger screen sizes i.e. 50 inches and above. Is it really the case on our screens too? I'm on adaptive refresh rate and plan to keep it as is.

Not much of a difference in battery , may be like 30 mins of less SOT.
Gpu takes a bit of more load , and thus the overall graphics might be like 5-10% slow .
Thats my opinion, might be different for others
The difference is nearly imperceptible, wouldn't worry too much about both WQHD+ and adaptive refresh rate
Buying a phone at this price but not using the highest possible resolution is quite useless
why cant you just TRY IT YOURSELF?

Hi.
I tried both WQHD+ and FHD+ with adaptive refresh rate on for a few days each - but I couldn't discern any significant differnce in battery life with day to day usage. I'm not saying there wasn't any... common sense dictates that there must be some, but I wansn't able to appreciate it.
I was very hard pressed to tell the differnce between the two resolutions on my screen as well. When I went down to HD+, I could immediately detect the drop in quality. But between FHD and WQHD I couldn't tell initially. Over time, i leatnt to discern the differnce up close (really close) becasue I knew what to look for - but the difference was not very big. So I tested it out on my family members, and not a single person could tell the difference with confidence (none are tech nerds) - all they said is "Wow! nice screen, what do you want me to look for? Looks the same as before..."
But this was all done in the first 2 weeks since I bought the phone, so usage was erratic and frenzied. I hadn't settled into a regular routine with the phone, it being all new and shiny - installing and uninstalling new apps, tinkering around etc - so i don't think I can honestly testify as to the battery life difference between FHD and WQHD.
But I can definitely tell that my eyes found it very difficult to tell the difference in quality, even today. So I just kept it on FHD+ and forgot about it till I came across your post. Maybe it's time to try out the experiment again with a more settled down phone... as I sit here typing this on WQHD resolution, trying to imagine if the FHD+ looked any different 15 minutes ago.

I tried it and didn't see much difference so keeping it at wqhd and adaptive.
Same with 4g and 5g in my area.
Everything is on adaptive. 5g and wqhd.
Go on and use it. That's why you paid for the phone, if you don't use the feature s what's the point?
Just use the best possible resolution. No point getting a phone like this and turn things off is how i look at it.
70% of the time, on my phone: I'm just messaging/calling or using the browser to view text-based content with a few images here and there.
30% of the time: HD Video, photos, camera, video-calls, etc.
So, I do this:
(1) Remove Animations (under Accessibility or just use Finder/search to locate it) -- because I don't need
(2) Force Dark in Developer Options (goes away after a reboot, so just reactivate this).
(3) Keep the phone in 720p60fps, full-temperature Comfort Shield, Power Saving mode, AOD off, Limit CPU to 70%, Decrease brightness by 10%, etc.
(4) Use a Bixby Routine to go into and come out of this low-quality mode as desired.
(5) I have all deviceidle and other power saving settings turned off.

Now your phone will always stay dark on reboot. You're welcome.
