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.

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 ' 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.

Is it spamming but? like notifictions and stuff?
Also btw I can really copy paste from you for my brightness management though after 4.2.2 I am switching to just the brightness toggle keeping automatic always on..and manually going max low at night.

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.

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.

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.
I am experiencing extremely hot temperatures with my note 3 which is making the battery drain faster than usually. I was wondering if anyone has experience this issue and if you have, how did you solve the issue.

I woke up in the middle of the night the other day and found my note in a frozen state with a blank screen but with the notification and capacitive button LEDs illuminated. The phone was very hot to the touch, possibly hot enough to cause skin burns. I removed the battery and let it cool off until morning. I was using the Xnote rom.

I have experienced this also,I'm on stock KK with no root. By any chance do you have Lookout installed? I noticed lookout updated the other night and now I have wake locks and draining my battery from 100 to 45 percent in less than two hours without any user activity and lookout is on the top of my battery list.
