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.

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!

Yeah, I am on board with this too
Screen brightness outside is abysmal
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.

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.
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.
Hi,
Nexus 6 is very slow to adjust the brightness automatically. It takes several seconds to light up the display if I move from inside to outside. My Lumia 950XL is much faster. Is possible to improve it?
No one?

I think you will find most people turn it off. Auto brightness has never been very fast and half the time is more of a hassle. I am sure if you look over the AOSP code you can adjust it.
