Eye Strain? - Galaxy S III General

Wondering if anyone else had this problem. After playing games (both tekkin 3 and hill racing) I notice that my vision is blurry and I feel kind of dizzy. This has happened 4+ times so far. What I did is lowered my brightness settings all the way to 0 but I still get the same problem (although I think its less severe).
Anyone please help? I dont want to have to change phones since I love this one and have bought many accessories (palm touchstone chargers, cases, gameklip,ect).

Hehe actually I do experience blury vision after im playing awhile

Use lux dash app it will lower your brightness up to -90%

Yeah, Screen Filter can help, but I myself actually find the display of my S3 a relief after a whole day od LCD screens (work+home).

Glad it aint just me.

Thanks going to try that. Is there anyway to increase the range of brightness settings in the kernal so we dont have to run an app? Using CM kernal. Hopefully there is a way.

Lower screen brightness

Is there any tweak or app to lower the screen brightness more than possible by default? for me its way too bright when using the phone in the dark. (And for my wife too, since she can't sleep with my phone lightening up the entire bedroom :-| )
Sent from my GT-I9000 using XDA App
I also have the same issue
Even on lowest level, it is way too bright in bedroom at night
Same here, my wife is kicking me out of bed soon and then i have to go back too my iphone :-(
Sent from my GT-I9000 using XDA App
same here ...
I have the feeling that just before the screen switch off the brightness is a little bit lower ...
Even this brigthness would be better and would probably save some battery
Same - I was thinking of posting this question myself.

Not only it hurts my eyes at night, the brightness also drain juice at an accelerated manner
Mod or help is greatly appreciated.

I found it to be slightly more tolerable at the 2 setting. But I agree the lowest setting is still too bright

Nexus 4 display and speaker

I usually keep my phones on full brightness. I'll deal with the battery draining because I love how it looks with full brightness. Has anyone noticed the display on the n4 kind of adjusting sometimes. I have noticed sometimes it changes to a little darker or a little brighter while using the phone.
I also noticed when I am talking on the phone with the speaker on sometimes it shuts when opening an application or sometimes even without opening an app and switches to regular ear piece. Sometimes it will stay on speaker but go lower.
Anyone having these issues? Its not a deal breaker or anything I still love it. I know phones will always have their issues, I've had ever nexus and the g1. I just want to know if other people are having this issue.

My guess is glitch hardware. Lg is known for making inconsistent quality. Terrible QA. Just because its made in Korea doesn't means its better than in China.

I don't know how you can use this display on full brightness it's too damn bright! Strains my eyes. lol I tend to keep mine around the 25% mark
It's adaptive contrast, runs independent of your brightness settings and there's not an option to disable it. You probably notice it most when moving from a largely black screen to a white one.
I think I remember first hearing about it's use in a Galaxy S2 review, my TV does the same thing on its dynamic setting.

[Q] Bright question.

Hello guys.
I don't know if it is just me but I can't see a big difference between medium and max bright, you obviously can tell it changed a bit but it's not like other devices I've had before, although the difference between min and max is way bigger, just wanted to know if this is a normal standard thing or some kind of issue. Thanks.

Can confirm that. A bit weird that the other half of the slider is like doing nothing. Its like the volume slider on the galaxy nexus.. After the half, the music won't go noticeable louder... Weird... Maybe a 4.2 problem idk..

Screen jitters, force GPU?

So I rooted and froze all I felt comfortable with (almost all of the bloat and non used) and seemed to have a few more moments of jitters. I thought it was my fast moving in and out of apps, or my games causing the hardware to stumble, but now think its totally hardware.
My question is, after switching to force GPU settings in developer options, has anyone noticed it stopping? Or at least a marked decrease in episodes?
Disable HW overlays and force GPU rendering of 2d being the two options I'm using. I just started last night and already I'm noticing things seem much snappier and no stutters.

I did not have force GPU selected. I just turned it on and will see if it makes a difference.

Yeah I noticed a jitter now and again, seems it was more placebo than cure. The setting did make the phone a little faster in response though.

Been running it with the force GPU on. I still see the problem but I don't think I see it as much.

I think its definitely a hardware issue. Seems like most people report it after they flash a new ROM, stock based or not.
i kinda like the jitters

Lag city :(

I'm running a rooted, cleaned up, stock mf3 ROM and its just terrible in terms of lag. Scrolling anywhere is jerky and awful looking, pulling down the notification shade is like 10 fps sometimes. Is this really the best it can do on touchwiz? My other devices are HTC One GPe, N4, Note 2, etc...
They're all faster! Help!

My notif bar is always quick when I pull it down, even when I wake the phone from sleep then pull it down ...I think you just have to tweak kernel and rom settings a bit. Or clear cache...dalvik and app data. Quicker then the htc one from att I had..
Thats just your device man. Mine is smooth as butter, and always has been. I would double check to make sure power saving is disabled, and if it is, then your best bet is to factory reset and see if that makes an improvement.
Try @zepplinrox V6-SuperCharger script!!

I had practically no lag out of the box. . . so maybe your phone has a hardware issue.
(since rooting and flashing Shostock2.1, and setting animations to 0 my phone is quick!)
The condition you describe is not normal for our model.
Good Luck
i Had same problems or close to same.
i had phone freezing and also flipping home screen used to freeze I went back stock and re root and flashed custom rom close to stock and i seen no lag
Maybe try some of custom roms ?

I've run about 3 different Roms and I use the gs4 and One daily. The one is quicker. I know from reviews and Google searches I'm not alone in experiencing the lag. Maybe some people are more perseptive to it?
The Google edition ROM was quicker. I already have the Google play edition one though, so I was trying to use touch wiz. I'll see if I can video the lag.
