Brightness on GE - AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin

Has anyone noticed that the brightness in GE at the lowest setting is much brighter than that of TW? I just tested it now because I'm on the GE ROM using the lowest brightness and it seems a lot brighter than what I had in TW.

Screen brightness

How is the visibility outside on a sunny day compared to the S2 or S3?

It is slightly brighter than the S3. However, if you are in bright sunlight and if your phone is not on auto brightness and set to the lowest level, you will have trouble seeing the screen to set auto-brightness. The lowest brightness level seems lower than on the S3. I have run into this a few times.
Compared to my s3 its much better. Outside in the sunlight with sunglasses I can actually read my screen

I have my screen brightness at the lowest on my s3 right now and it's good if you are indoor but outdoor is terrible. Will the s4 have a better screen brightness at the lowest setting compared to the s3?
Ok cool thats the only reason I was considering the htc one. I got kinda tired of my s2 in sunlight

Screen brightness

I have issues with the brightness constantly changing. It is extremely annoying. I believe I have all the settings to where it shouldn't change. Its on full brightness, dynamic and unchecked where it will adapt. It is extremely noticeable on light pages like the web or Tapatalk. This is my 3rd Samsung never had issues before. Thanks for reading

Already did thanks. There are 3 settings that affect the screen I think. Its driving me crazy

Yeah, it's a phone wide thing that isn't affected by settings. Happen to me when I switch over to Chrome from a different white display. The whites change, even if every other setting is constant.
Basically, it's a known issue with no way to change it at the moment. Not sure if it continues in AOSP.

Many custom roms allow you to customise the auto brightness, but I prefer to use lux auto brightness app - it is brighter by default. I'm not sure about the HTC one, but using one of those two solutions (and colour calibration if necessary using a custom kernel) it will improve

I strongly recommand you to actually upgrade to full version of lux.
The auto profile is amazing, during night time it automatically dim out more than the day profile. Best 4 bucks I've ever spent on play store
I will definitely buy the full. For now I will run it as much as possible. I'm having good battery life and this app seems no effect on it.

In browser screen flicker

Has anyone noticed how much both chrome and stock browser flicker. Since i spend a lot of time inside i don't really crank up the screen brightness. I noticed last night that when scrolling in the browser the screen will often flicker. Its driving me crazy cause I don't have a way to test on another unit. Im on at&t with a d800 can anyone else confirm this thanks. Once again it only seems to do this when the brightness is set relatively low, and auto brightness is set to off.

yes. it's that content adaptive brightness crap I'm always bringing up lol.. there's no way to turn it off. it changes brightness depending on what's on the screen. it's horrible at low brightness in the browser and anywhere in general.
my tip, use screen filter instead of dropping down brightness. this helps and you don't notice it. for example I leave my screen at 40 percent and put screen filter at like 35 and it looks almost like 0 percent brightness and I notice no flicker. this is only a temporary solution until kernel Devs get here because I believe the issue is in the kernel, bc disabling it on a software level does nothing.

Ok that's good to know.

Not sure if you're talking about the same thing, but check out my thread here for a possible solution.

[Q] Increase max brightness?

Those who had the S3 might remember a hack to increase the max brightness to be the same as the extra added maximum brightness when in Auto Brightness.
Would a similar hack be possible for the note 3?
I looked in /sys/class..... at the brightness options but can't remember the exact hack. I think it was changing auto brightness file to 1?

I am interested for the same , if anyone found a way to have the max brightness that is used in auto under the sun please let me know.
Topped, because I too am interested in this.
I don't like using Auto Brightness. But I need as much brightness as possible sometimes.
I'd like to get it while using my Display Brightness app's slider.
