Screen brightness-throttling....

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?

[Q] Does a workaround exist for Note 3 features and Pebble Accessibility Service?

Hello,
I just got a new Note 3, and it seems that trying to enable the Pebble accessibility service disables some rather important TouchWiz features. The only thing I really care about is the One-handed operation mode, which I believe is part of the multi-tasking TouchWiz feature. If it wasn't for that, I'd just disable all of those, since I don't use the rest anyways.
Is there a workaround that allows the Pebble service and One-handed mode/MultiTasking to work together? Root or otherwise?
Thanks!
PS: Also posted this on the Pebble forums, but thought I'd put it here too

I have the same problem.... look at all the accessibility apps that I have to disable to use 'one handed'.

"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",

"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
The apps are more important than one handed operation but I do now have to remember not to use the stock browser unless I want constant talkng as enabling any accessibilty function not only disables the one handed gesture but also makes the stock browser say "Page Loading. ...Page Loaded..." etc.
Can't believe this bug has not been fixed.

Looks like you can just turn the features back on.

This is a long-standing TouchWiz bug where accessibility features disable many of TouchWiz's features. Not a Pebble issue.

The other features work when I turn them back on, just not the one-handed operation... The gesture doesn't do anything while the Pebble service is enabled.

Yeah, I can turn on most features after turning on pebble services, but one handed mode and email air view info preview do not work Anyone got a fix?

I left the accessibility off and tested to see if I still get notifications on my pebble and I still do.

i only got this one, pls try it ..

can't uninstall this sony
I try this apk in my z3 dual but my problem is that i can't delet this app or unistall it.
Also it is in chinease

Since installing it my battery life is terrible. I've hardly used my phone today and I'm down to 19% battery which is ridiculous. Normally I'd still have over 50% by this time of day after charging the night before. I only normally charge it every other day.

If you ask for uninstall it, then you go to Settings/ Security / Device Administrator - and uncheck this Sony Lock App.
After that you will have option to uninstall from App drawer.

Why not just hit the power button on the side of the phone haha? Im sure some people may use this, to me its rather pointless.

Mini apps

Hi guys, does anyone else have an issue with the "Mini Apps" function? It's the one where you swipe over the virtual keys and minimizes the screen for one hand operation.
It was working fine when I first got the phone but now it doesn't work anymore even with the option turned on and after reboot.
Am I the only one or is this a bug?

I had issues too at first, but with lots of research, I finally found the solution. To to settings>Accessibility and make sure that Switch Access is turned off.

As far as I can tell, Switch Access doesn't do anything important, so you won't lose any other features.

Volume warning

Hi is there a way to disable the earphone volume warning? Thanks
Sent from my SM-G950F using XDA-Developers Legacy app

Not that I'm aware of, but if you just make it a habit to put the volume full after every reboot (and dismiss the warning), it won't warn you again until the next reboot

Ok thanks. I'm just asking because I saw a video where someone disable it on galaxy s8

Settings - sound and vibrations - volume - click the three dots, media volume limiter, on, set all the way up. You can try that.

It was possible on older Samsung models with root and Xposed.

Three dots..
Settings stay after power cycle.
No warning after a powercycle and volume moved all the way up.

I power cycled my phone and it looked like it did not reset, that was because I had no Bluetooth hooked up after the reboot. You are correct, it does reset, and this is on a snapdragon phone in the US.
