Hey, i just wanted to let you guys know about Note 3 low battery precautions.
I was using my phone as usual, as i noticed there was brightness slider missing from notification pull-down menu. I immediately checked under: settings-> device -> notification panel ->Brighteness adjustment and setting was checked!
As i became furious, i unchecked and checked that option but it was still missing. At that point i was really upset as this feature is VERY IMPORTANT for me (quick access to brightness). So i rebooted my phone and tryed again, no success. In panic i started checking every thing on my phone, all processes i deactivated (all share play and stuff like that i don't need etc etc...) all defaults than i tought some third party app was to blame for that (many apps can not be removed from notification pull down menu (unfortunately))...
Than i checked if i can adjust brighteness manually in display settings and when i saw that that function was gray (unusable) it hit me... i saw my battery was very low, 3% so i figured this is the reason.
Phone disables the ability to change brightness. Furthermore i couldn't use camera and my music app shuted down at 1% level...
So next time you see brightness slider missing from notification pull down meni, check your battery level... it sure made my heart beat a litle faster...
Cheers

So i've had the S4 since it got released and i like it,
but for some reason the standby doesnt work at all.. i have it set to turn off the screen after 30 secs of idle and it does not work.
anyone else having this issue?
mine works fine. see what apps have been installed. maybe some app requires not to go in standby and prevents the screen to go off

Have similar problem - screen do not off completely. Does not mateer what time I chose, does not matter if smart stay is on or off. I do not have it's icon visible in the status bar whet it is off. Anyway screen is always on. Any help?
Same problem here. The phone just dims its screen but it never shuts it off.
This is quite annoying when the phone lights up to show the low batt warning and just drains all its remaining energy. Perfect.

Try disabling all smart stay options (smart pause could still be on).

Seems that I found the reason. But still do not have permanent solution. After restart screen went off without problem. After running some application it became constantly on again. When I closed some applications (long press home button and swipe open applications) screen also turned off normally. So probably some application makes such a problem. Have to check which one.
Can anyone explain to me what happens when screen power saving mode is enabled in settings so far I always keep it enabled and all it seems to do is dim the display a bit and increase the battery life massively. Can anyone tell me if it's doing anything like slowing down my phone slightly with animations or something cause I don't want to be missing out, but so far that's all I can see.

I ended up disabling it.
If you click on power saving mode in settings it should show what you want and give you further options. It's that way on the Note 2.

Ive only checked this option in my power saving settings. Ive turned off power saving for both cpu and haptic feedback. Ive noticed it only dims the display a bit. Is there anything else that this setting does?
Looks to me like it lowers the Gamma value of the screen.
You can just as easily set the brightness to 80% yourself... Same effect
I've read somewhere when i was using note 2 that the cpu is reduce to two core only. I dont know is it true or not.

I turned it on and off with brightness at 90% and there was no difference between the two. So it just lowers the maximum brightness by about 10%.

That's the CPU setting in the power saving menu. We're talking about the screen mode setting.

Hey guys
Something that's really annoying me is my phone still changes the display brightness level with everything turned off/manual
No power saving mod
Manual brightness
Screen mod standard
Stock browser is on manual
WTF is going on. Surely others have experienced this?
How do we turn it off
If your note 3 gets too hot it will reduce the screen brightness.....
Display Settings
Automatic contrast off!

I have never seen this on any other device
It happens only 10min into use with just general browsing
Automatic contrast is already off
So is everyone happy that this is happening?
I cant believe no one else is bothered by it!!

It was bothering me A LOT but now something worse took over, the phone keeps rebooting and I've had to reset and start all over again and it's still happening. So the dimming is annoying but not nearly as annoying as not being able to use the phone at all!
I wrote about this throttling a few times here during the last days, search for my recent posts! in short: this throttling also happens when all auto brightness functions are turned off, and even if you manually set the lowest brightness! it depends on CPU load, thermal envelope and/or power-draw! I personally find it very annoying, especially because it happens also on lowest levels...

Does it happen with a full battery or plugged in?

It's a bug. Something (Google Settings, I believe) keeps triggering KNOX which results in this message.
Long-press on the notification, hit app info, then clear the data and cache of KNOX Notification (which is the one that pops up.)
Thx! I'll try your way once it appear again
Sent from my SM-N9005 using Tapatalk
yup,
Very annoying pop up. Are you sure is related to a Google app? I'd like to report it to Sammy/Google,this is a huge bug on their side as it prevents google apps from proper functioning ( I have a lot of emails stuck in Gmail outbox, I guess it could be related). I mean the right hand shooting the left foot doesn't feel right....

You need to force close the app too after clear cache and data. Then it will not pop out until you reboot your phone..

I got a security update today. Wonder if it's related to this. I haven't seen this message since I installed the update.

Yep same here. I chose not to be p***ed off by bit until 30 days time.
This is just one of many stupid faults I've enjoyed. I'm wondering now if these Note 3's are all fake Chinese copies because it's deffo not the same people who made the Note2 !!

As reported in some Nexus 5 reviews as well as on the Moves google play page reviews, the Moves app that comes on our phones seems to use quite a bit of battery. If you installed it, you can take a look on your own phone by pulling down settings and clicking on the battery icon.
Yes, I know they talk about how it uses much less power than other ways of tracking movement, but it still seems to be a noticeable amount.
According to Moves help, you can turn if off inside the Moves app settings by turning off tracking. At first I thought it came on the phone, but as others pointed out I installed it from google play..
I don't see any apps called moves? Is it hidden?

I must of turned it off some how... stock unrooted here.. i dont see it anywhere, not even in settings - apps - all.
*edit*
ahh it doesn't come with our phones, i dont have it installed even.
You actually have to download it from the play store. It doesn't come with the phone.
Crikey didn't know it used that much battery :/ might get rid of it lol

I see at least 10% battery drain due to Moves. Can't tell whether this is supposed to be expected.
Runtastic Pedometer has been doing much better for me battery-wise. Can leave it running all day and it is at the bottom of my list. Somethings not working right with Moves.
If you turn off tracking within the Moves app, won't that defeat the purpose of the Moves app? Ouch... Just checked mine and it's at 36%. I think i'm going to remove it for a while.
