Yeah hi.
I was wondering if anyone knew a way to turn down the brightness 100,or make the screen go totally dark. And at the same time make the "auto lock in x minutes" go to infinite?
All this without root.
The reason I ask, is because my girlfriend uses YouTube to listen to music on her way to work, and when her screen turns off, so does the music.
I have root, so I just installed a patched youtube app, but she doesn't want to root, and can't uninstall the original youtube app..
Any suggestions? Any help would be appreciated

Hello,
Wrong section must post in Q&A section.
Have a look here
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.sebmorand.brightcom
or here
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.haxor&hl=en
Hope it's what you look for.
Be aware not to dark your screen too much, if not, you won't be able to come to original darkness. Theese two apps have a "come back" method (programmation or so). You have to read attentively instructions before using one of them.
Best regards

Wrote it myself
oh man, that's awesome!
could you do me a favor and remove the screen-strobe (so the flashlight only strobes) and upload?
Nice
i thought of another good use for it. When driving down a road and coming up to a speed camera if the car in front is sort of annoying you, you could flash it just to worry em and see if they respond.
The only thing u would need is a bigger button in the GUI and maybe pressed once to start and once to stop.
Sorry just my mind wandering again
Wicked app !
As mentioned, would be absolutely GRRREEEEEAAAATTTT if the screen strobe could be disabled, that way we can blind others without at the same time blinding ourselves lol !
I could disable the screen-strobe, but then the light-flashes would be less-bright.
Somehow if I tell the universal to use ultra-bright flash, it automatically turns off the LCD-backlight, presumably to reserve power to the flash.
When writing it I didn't really have any use in mind apart from annoying friends, but I'll look into the suggestions you guys posted and see if I can come up with anything better
haha minted mate
Could this be made to run when theres an incoming call?
I cant think why you'd ever want to, but there is a chance

ps. there a big redish area in the middle of everything i look at now......
adaptive display off
reading mode off
brightness manual
smart screen off
brightness level set to 90% or so
and my screen auto dimm for no reason playing PVZ or any other game is very annoying to the point of stop playing
I did some reading on att note 3 forums and they said this is implemented on the Kernel itself so if we can get full unlock perhaps we can use a custom kerlel to fix this BIG PROBLEM

Ahh, gotcha.
I've never experienced any problems with the screen dimming when I'm using it (even playing games). But I like to use Smart Stay (works great for me) and I like my brightness at 100% all the time, so it's a little different scenario, I guess.

I've seen it and been looking for where to turn it off. Was going to post about it, so glad you did. It's very annoying and send to happen at odd times in pretty much any app.
Now here's another one for you. Have you noticed when you pick up your phone that it will vibrate twice? I can't tell what I'd doing it, so it may be a system thing.

Yea if in the next update it don't get a fix Samsung will not like me very much
Like how LG probably hates me every chance I get I talk **** especially about their LowGrade ****uition
Android product ...LG is byfar the worst android creators out there and should just stick
To making ****ty appliance or better yet just stay out of the electronic world all 2gthr IMO...
But back to the subject at hand it seems its when a lot of processes are going that it dims (CRASHES)
Try keeping an auto task killer app running to kill unwanted tasks as they pop up...
It works but not for too long. it would seem the 2G of RAM is not enough for the quadcore
maybe 3G would have worked better.
Solution
Kinda late with an answer but I figured out why my note 4 was doing that out of the bloom. Turns out I had an option checked for my screen brightness to adjust based on the image that was on my display. Just go to Settings, Display, then uncheck the Auto Adjust Screen Tone. That should fix it. ☺
Hi lovely guys of the Note 3 forum!!
I've had my Note 3 for some time now and I was wondering if my screen is defect since it does act a little weird. I hope you can clarify this for me
Whenever I put my screen on low brightness, the screen tend to leave a trail of purple color behind whenever I scroll/move something. It'd be very nice if anyone with a Note 3 could test this for me, if u are having the same problem or if it's just me
A good way to test this, is to set brightness to 0% and then pull the notificationcenter down and try to swipe the notifications away slowly and look closely, if u can find some purple trail leaving behind the swiping object. To see this clearly, you can download the app Lux and set the brightness to sub-zero. Try -50% and it should be very easy to see. Would mean a ton to me if you could report back. I need to return my device asap if it's defect.
Thank you very much!! <3
EDIT: Here is a video of the problem!

Just to confirm we're talking about the same thing, here is a video I took of the problem
EDIT: Seems like I've discovered a general issue with S4/Note3; Ghosting/smearing. God damnit, this is annoying. The shop will probably not even take it back now. ****..
cannot duplicate
I can't see this at zero brightness. I even installed lux and set it to subzero, and I still can't see it. I'm using an SM-900T.
I think I know what you are talking about. I also believe my smartphone has same problem. As an example if you download BBC News application,then scroll down to end of page and pull further you will see this tail of light appear. It also does this in the settings page when you scrol up or down but you have to get to bottom or top of page and pull further

Not sure if that was sarcasm... BEcause I hope it was.
That's the replacement for the 'bounce at end of page' that Apple successfully sued Samsung over. It now glows.
exactly the same problem with mine. fast moving UI elements leave a purple trail behind them.
could it be that some batches of screen are affected and some are not? it doesn't bother me too much though.

Ive broke the screws before but I didnt mind. Just make sure to slowly remove the internal cover sloely to prevent the headphone jack wire being removed. If it does then you'll have to put it back and such. It isnt recommended to leave the phone in a windy area to prevent dust from entering

It's a trial and error procedure. Try moving the slab a little left or right. It doesnt neccesarily have to be how I showed you guys in the video. Test the vibartion by booting up your device and if it doesn't work, just turn it off. And try again lol

Sorry for hijacking this thread but it is not that old.
Lately I have noticed that whenever my xperia SP should vibrate it does, however a weird sound is also coming out of it. I think it's the little buzzer (the little vibration thing) sliding/touching a wall inside the phone causing it to sound like that. Also, sometimes it gets stuck in a position preventing it from starting again ( too strong static friction I guess ). I just have to pat it genlty so the little buzzer rotates and it can vibrate once again but again with the weird sound.
Anyone having similar problem? Should I send it to sony or try to repair myself?

1. Screen brightness under sunlight: the S6 was a lot brighter thanks to a special setting enhancing colors, the Nexus is barely readable.
2. Camera software: S6 wins hands down here, on Nexus don't even have exposure compensation.
3. Headphones volume: Nexus is too low.
4. Notification sounds with headphones: the S6 was ringing from main speaker, the Nexus barely emits a sound in headphones, so you may miss notification when headphones are plugged in but non on your hear.

1. I use https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=flar2.hbmwidget but you need to be rooted. Got root?
2. I find HDR+ to be okay with exposure but I'm not a big camera type of person.
3. Can't really comment.
4. See number 3
Not rooted yet, waiting for Android N
U should root your phone.. after that with the apk https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=flar2.hbmwidget and a custom Kernel u will have a bettern one than ur s6
PS: I don't get why u r waiting "n"
OK will root.
Just wanted to wait to upgrade to N to avoid upgrade problems
There's a tut for headphone volume.

That being said, I have no clue why someone would not root their 6p when it would solve 3/4 of the things they dislike about it. It's like a ten minute process max and is utterly devoid of risk or effort lol

I don't believe so but High Brightness Mode widget is one of the main reasons I have root and the only reason I run a custom kernel.
And the widget works as advertised.

I dont have a comparison but i use HBM and its essential for me to see the screen in sunlight.
Also theres a nifty tasker tutorial somewhere on xda i used and it automatically triggers HBM when light reaches a certain point. Do a search if youre interested. If you cant find it let me know and Ill see if i can find it. More convenient than a widget and it doesnt add clutter.
