Since .245 my screen goes black when watching movies. Screen doesn't time out but just goes black. As soon as I touch the screen the video comes back.
Already reinstalled ROM but problem stays.
Tried different video players but no difference.
Tried screen forced on apps but doesn't work since screen doesn't time out but just goes black.
Any ideas?

Same issue. But in my case.. the Front Camera is also affected.

Did you use the pre-rooted kernel from Alivanov?
AFAIK, there was a fix released for the same

I have auto brightness off, auto adjust screen tone off and brightness set to max. My screen randomly dims and then gets bright again...anyone know what's causing this?
sEnt from thE noTe 3
Hmm is it this adapt display option maybe?
sEnt from thE noTe 3
Same here then I went into my settings to check the brightness (settings, display, brightness) and it said brightness decreased to prevent over heating or something like that ..check it next time you notice it dimming and see if it's the same thing ..pretty annoying

power saver uses the dimming option for low consumption of battery and make sure auto adjust is off in display settings

I've had this happened to me also.
It seems to be more frequent when I'm using Chrome ( not stock browser ). It suddenly gets dim and then may or may not eventually brighten up again, it's pretty random
Also happens when I'm on the launcher but not as frequent
- Automatic Brightness / Off
- Screen Mode / Professional Photo
- Power saving mode / Off
- Auto adjust screen tone / Off
Is there something else I may be missing?
It happens to me while using the xda app. Annoying as hell. It has the same message as Melissa

Does anyone know if this processor does thermal throttling? That could possibly trigger a power save dim with overheating. If we get root this can be disabled using trickster mod.

The Otimus G Pro had a setting in the hidden menu to disable thermal throttling.

Thought this was an issue with my phone when I got it from AT&T yesterday. Glad to know it isn't just me. It seems to only have the issue when I am in a low-lite area (at least on mine) but when I am in an area with good lighting and the back light is 75% or more it doesn't dim nearly as much. Would be interested to see what a fix would be for this.

So I've been having this issue and noticed it like two days ago, and reading all your responses I looked through and noticed I had one of the features that I thought I turned off. Smart Stay says that it starts to turn the screen off when we look away maybe it's a buggy feature (one I never intended to use but it might be the one doing this dimming thing (being one of the first steps to turn off the screen)
Just a general post to see if those of you who got the update to work, if you really think it's worth it? Is it one step forward, two steps back? Are you happy that you updated or sorry you did? No, this post isn't necessarily a question post, just one to get people's opinions on the update in one place and not scattered between a few threads. Mods, if you feel this is redundant, that's fine. I'm just trying to generate some activity and input from the users on the update.
I did it and it seems a lot smother. But then I cf-autorooted and restored a nandroid of carbon rom. Don't know why but I seem to get better service.

Works fine when first opened as in your screen shot, set it up and then open it and kill the app then try and reopen it. Half time closes on me. Un installed latest and reverted to previous update and works fine.
Odd thing too, is it doesn't do this in landscape mode only portrait.

I usually try to avoid statements like this because of placebo, but TW seems a lot snappier.
Also the new 3G and 4G icons are really nice. The keyboard enhancements are really nice.

3g icons suck big time. Looks like smeone took the small one and streched it in photoshop. Regarding benchmarking i scored this on antutu which makes me wonder how cheatfull is samsung on benchmarking. Am on stock 4.3 and rooted.
Agreed. The 3G icon looks aweful!!!
There are more fonts to change the phone to. Mobile Data is missing from the drop down. Reading mode was added. GSM data roaming was opened up while all roaming was turned off. It does feel much smoother.

You can update and keep root... I odined back to mf9 and used cf auto root to gain root access back. I then went into superSU and checked survival mode(keeps root even after ota). After that I downloaded the update and put it on my sd card. Once there I went into stock recover uodated from sdcard and now I have 4.3 still rooted.

Is that what you wanted?
There was another setting before the 257 update that let you uncheck an option that said something like 'automatic change screen condition to save battery"
I'll just have to reflash the old version to do a screen shot for you guys.

I've posted similar question earlier, but no answer so far. It was called "Optimised backlight" and it was positioned right below "Pulse notification light". It is basically DLS (Dynamic Luminance Scaling) and it is the most annoying power-saving feature in the known universe and I absolutely hate it. It should be a way to disable it with root explorer, but I can't find it in the folder where it was on my Xperia T.

I think I read somewhere that Sony removed it due to it bugging out with some apps.
They should remove it then, not leave us without possibility to turn this crap off.
Sent from my C6903 using XDA Premium 4 mobile app
Yeah. I would think if it doesn't work when on, then they should have disable it and left it off by default.
All other Android phone worked without trying to change this crap.
I love this phone but it's annoying me a lot when reading text that has dark background and graphics.

Finally! This is great news!
I never wanted to flash any custom ROMS because I didn't want to lose the magical battery life of this phone.
However I had always noticed the butterfly s was slower in places than a snapdrag 600 should be.
I received the OTA on my Butterfly S shipped from HongKong no problem so I hope this remedies some of the stuttering in the OS.
Wow you have stuttering on your Butterfly S, I have never noticed on mine.
The only thing I will say is, after 4.4.2 battery seems to die a little faster then before. I know you didn't want to here that.
Can anyone else confirm there battery life after OTA?

Got the update. So far, disliking it a lot.
Apps can not write to external sd anymore. The stupid modification Google has done to kitkat is taking place, as covered by android police here:
http://www.androidpolice.com/2014/0...at-and-even-samsung-may-be-implementing-them/
If I can´t get if fixed, my 64gb SD will become useless and the internal 16gb of the phone is just not enough for my use.
I could not achieve root acess again yet.
Camera seens to be a little less purple in low light conditions, but the pictures are being very washed away in terms of color fidelity, like if the contrast is too low.
The chinese apps can be removed now, but I´m afraid of removing them and not being able to update the firmware in the future as it already happened once.
The News and Weather widget (Google geniewidget.apk) just disapeared and I cant use it anymore. Tried to install the apk and it failed to install.

Ok, I have root again, edited the file, but every time I reboot the phone, the file get restored to original, without privileges to write to external storage.
Maybe there is a backup somewhere and the system is replacing the modified file at boot?
