How can I prevent my J5 screen from dimming ??? - Samsung Galaxy J5 Questions & Answers

Hi all,
I know this is an old question, but all my googling thru online forums led to nothing conclusive yet, other than non-working suggestions or using apps. But having to live with this dimming thing is bothering and exhausting !!! Simply said, there aren't any useful settings. Max display timeout in my phone is 10 minutes but, no matter which value I pick, after some seconds my display gets dimmed. And the developer option "stay awake" serves no purposes aswell... it just prevents the screen from going to sleep completely when under charge, but still dims after few seconds of inactivity. Is there any trick to finally turn this infamous auto-dimming off ?? IF I CAN, I would like to achieve this result WITHOUT using any apps, if possible. Oh my J5 is rooted of course, I can even tamper with system scripts or variables, if u instruct me on how to do.
Thanks !

On my J5 screen never gets dimmed unless the display is turning off due the timeout.
There are apps which can dim the screen, including apps which "save battery". Maybe you have a kind of this app which does this?
Your screen turn off after 10 minutes or after the screen gets dimmed?

It seems a very common and complained issue between Android users from what I read here and there, so more a wanted feature by the original developers than a rom bug... not sure if u are referring to Android version, it is 5.1.1 Kernel id 3.10.49-787809.
No of course I haven't any energy saver apps installed or such things.
All system energy saving options are disabled already.
My phone dims the screen after abt 10 seconds, no matter how long I set the timeout
Oh it suxxxxxx... !!!!

Go in download mode and tell me if ur screen is still diming

I tried... it is NOT dimming in download mode... but it's obvious isn't it ? Only some minimal kernel portion is ran there, not the whole OS with all its power saving features etc...

Yeah ive been using the Advanced Task Killer for a while now already.
I have read that usage of ATK is not required at all because of Androids near perfect RAM Management. And you also could come into trouble because android looses a small amount of ram capacity every time you use ATK untill the next reboot.
other than that you could try Juice Plotter and Juice Defender
find a app can auto turn on/off fly mode.
I ve tried Juicy defender, it seems not fit wildfire very well, some function not working. like auto fly mode, and auto turn off wifi when over 50M.
(btw,it will change your apn setting,cause me can not connect after uninstall it.)
after 1 month, I found navigation app take me 80% of battery.like google map/navi.

Not sure if these steps actually improve the efficency of the battery OR wheter the S/W behind the battery guage becomes more accurate as it goes through a process that alows it to better estimate the SOC of the battery.

Yup, even I have read a lot that Android manages the apps in a beautiful way. When I first used Android, the first question that came to my mind was how to exit apps as none of the apps had an exit button. Coming from nokia, sony erricson etc this was an obvious question to ask. Then after some research I found that Android just freezes the apps when we go back. The app is not actually running in the back end.
But anyway, yesterday my battery again went to 8% and on checking the used status, it showed that the android system used 92% of the battery lol.
One more thing I would like to suggest is that there is a Power control widget built in the wildfire. Its pretty useful to decrease the brightness, turn off gps, wifi etc from the home screen itself.

Thanks for this!
I installed this widget and it said that GPS was on even though it wasn't appearing in the tool bar along the top. I had run several apps that use GPS, but had assumed if the GPS icon was gone, GPS was off.
Is that wrong?
(good news if it is, as I was struggling to keep enough power to in my phone to get through the day without charging)

Avoid task killers like the plague. They cause more problems than they solve. Trust the android os to manage ram.
Just discovered the most powerful app I have ever seen called "Tasker". It its only £4, but will make your android so much more diverse. You can, for example, have it go into airplane mode between certain times (i have between midnight and 6am) but periodically check for sms or voice mail every hour. It saves stacks of battery.
I have it turning wifi on only when it knows I'm at home or at work.
I have it turning off wifi, dropping screen brightness down, and playing a louder notification when battery gets to 15%.
It silences my phone when I get within 100m of the two cinemas I use.
It is not the most easy app to use, be patient with it. Look up some of the "recipes" on the internet to get a good tutorial on how to work it. £4 is a steal for something so potentially vast. Its limited only by your imagination.
Oh and having run Tasker for 24 hours, (how long my battery normally lasts) only contributes to a 2% drain, and its adding roughly 6 to 8 hours extra! It would cost you ten times that for an extended battery!
I use an free app called timeriffic to auto disable WiFi

Try program JuiceDefender....you can download free from Android market.
my battery life is really awful too,i noticed it a couple days ago,that it drains to fast,so i started looking into it,and i found out,that my device won't go too sleep. so in settings/about phone/battery the awake time and up time are the same. i had similar problems on my hero, but there it was the messaging apps fault.
here, i kill everything with advanced task killer,it still can't go too sleep,android battery use shows,that android system is using most of the battery.
anybody else with similar problem?solutions? i have stock 1.25 rom rooted with unrevoked.
What? You mean your screen is permanently on? .....
Ive head bad things about using task killers too, I dont use on anymore.
Some things i have done that have helped my battery like quit alot actually is turn off Wi-Fi, Turm off GPS, Turned off haptic feedback(vibration when pressing buttons), Screen brightness to automatic & screen timeout too 15 seconds.
I can now have a really good fiddle with the phone and it can last more than a day without needing a charge.
As I understand when screen goes auto shut off, all apps are idle, even WiFi or gps is on. I tried with music on continuously for 2 hrs in flight mode, I still have about 80% power. With gps on for 1 hr continuous, I still have about 80%. With normal use my power can last the whole day.

no,the screen turns off,but something still runs in the background what eats the battery,and I can't find out what it is. I tried multiple task managers,and they show that everything is closed.i have it in flight mode,with everything turned off,still something runs,what shouldn't.
Did you solve this? It's happening on my phone now, and it's very frustrating.
(just installed ATK - very scary the apps I never use are running) and killed everything except ATK. Touch the power switch to turn off the screen. 15 minutes later, up time and awake time are still the same.

2 updates from me, to help anyone else with similar problems:
1) I uninstalled any recently installed or updated apps** and widgets now I have a 1:6 ratio of awake time. So, fixed?
2) In the meantime I logged a call to HTC via their website. Answer:
With regards to your problem, if the battery is going down significantly and you have turned of applications when your not using them and used task killer. It might be better to call us up so we cann look into it further and we might have to book the phone in for repair especially if you have noticed it not charging properly or overheating at any time.

Yup, those problems started occurring at the same time as the other, so it looks like I have an underlying hardware fault. Dammit! I don't want to be without my phone for 2 weeks.

Just out of curiosity
What gain of time are we actually talking about here ?
I tried lots of different things but never suceeded to receive more than two full days.
What is your max. with all the different programs and hints ?

If you are asking me, the answer is "about 6 hours".
I've (partially) fixed my uptime = awaketime problem. But I obviously have some more serious battery issue.

Do I have a bad xperia play?

Hey guys I'm having some concerns about my xperia play and so i want to know if i should be worried...
My screen flickers. ( Not on/off) but between shades. It's hard to explain but it drops between levels of brightness, but here's the deal i turn auto brightness off and it still flickers. Now i have noticed that the screen will dim ( flicker shades) with the orientation of the phone. Idk.
Also when I'm downloading the games thru xperia app it takes forever, i have high speed internet and I'm connected via WiFi but should i be expecting A 150MB download to take up to 45 minutes. Seems kinda slow to me.
Thanks in advance guys.
By Tue screen flickering if u mean the auto brightness increasing and decreasing immensely at times its normal since u cant turn off the auto brightness in our phone....
About the games..most of the games took 15-20 mins or less for me on an 8 mpbs connection

Is there some kind of other brightness settings, i turned auto brightness off. And I'm still getting fluctuations in the shade of color.
if you have root you can disable this, but it is only temporary as somewhere in the system it re-enables this.
create a gscript with su ability
start script below
echo "0" > /sys/devices/i2c-0/0-0040/leds/lcd-backlight/als/enable
end script above
do not include the start and end parts
lasts around an hour, stops the flicker in bad light situations

It wont turn off even if you untick it, its an anoying bug, hopefully custom roms/kernels will solve this, dont worry about the downloads, even with high speed internet, keep in mind most of the developers are small companies and cant afford expensive hosting, even the gameloft servers are slow imo

You can NOT turn auto brightness off on the Play, it is hard wired right into the os, even if you used an app or widget saying it if off it is NOT! there is nothing you can do until SE fix it or some members here mod the os,
All the Play's do exactly what your describing, lots of topic here and elsewhere about it, everybody moans about it!
And regarding downloads, things from the market download fast for me, very fast, but other stuff from other places can be very slow, gameloft for example, takes hours! just depends on the servers your downloading from.
Hey thanks guys for the information. When i get to a desktop I'll hit the thanks button for all of you. I think my WiFi was acting up last night, i was playing some zombies and downloading torrents at the same time.lol. anyways thanks guys again.

To be honest with you I like the auto brightness. I think is super responsive which other phones it seems like it takes forever to kick in which is why I normally shut it off

I think it works great too, but it is nice to have this little gscript ready for times when the autobrightness goes wacky and the screen flickers

[Q] finally got my note 4, a few questions

hey guys,
before 2 days i finally got my note 4 after a long time with iphones,a few words wow! what a great phone! i dont know what i did with iphone so many years. everything is open and so simple and i really glad i chose to go with the note 4.
now i have some questions (The most important question is the battery life) and much more questions and i will glad if you can help me with all of the questions.
ok lets start,
1. the most important questions is my first question and is about the battery life, When I received the note 4 I waited for fully discharged for the first use until the device turns off, and then I charged it again (with fast charging without turn of the device) and i fell asleep and then in the morning was 100% so i turn the device (yes I know not to leave it charging all night even after the device is already 100% but its happend ) well I noticed that the battery runs out really fast, and my use was quite low and I do not know how! For example, after a 3 hours of use the battery goes from 100% to 60% and after more two hours its was 35%. excpet this i saw when i got 5-6% i was playing a bit with the settings and after 2-3 min the device turns off. how 5-6% in 2-3 min and even less?
this is the things i did to save my battery life already:
sound settings: turns off - vibrate while ringing, dailing keypad tone, touch sound, screen lock sound, sounds when tapped, vibrate when tapped and all the rest.
brightness: almost the lowest and even now i tried auto - btw what is the best to do - auto brightness or to set it your own on low brightness?
bluetooth - off
closing applications with the "recent app button" - V
GPS - off
Disable Pen Detection - off
and more settings that i dont remmber.
here is a picture of my power saving in settings (before i charge it without "fast charing") Do not know if this is related but just mention that
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",
"lightbox_stop_slideshow": "Stop slideshow",
"lightbox_full_screen": "Full screen",
"lightbox_thumbnails": "Thumbnails",
"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
so what should i do to to extend my battery life? because my battery life very poor.
Sub Questions about the battery:
a. which way is the best to charge the note? wait until the device turns off and then to charge it to 100%? or what?
b. fast charing option is good? right now i turns the option off and my device charging while he off. what do you recommend to turn off the feature or on?
2. i heard when i force stop applications in "applications manager" is good is that true? is effect on the battery life?
look at the picture i uploaded from there,
the settings are good? do i have to force stop applications? i will glad to hear a short explanation about this.
3. about the RAM usage, applications thats running or i dont know how to call it, look at the picture i uploaded:
1.6 GB in use and sometimes its even 2GB in use, i really dont know how! i didnt use so many applications.
it is ok to close apps from here or to let the system to handle it? and is effect on the battery life? i really glad to short explantion about it also.
4. the google syncs its like iCloud in apple? i saw in settings alot of marks like: calander, contacts, and many more can sync to google+, what thats means? its will upload to google sync cloud? or its just a backup to the contacts? i really dont understand this.
5. i used wazzapmigrator app to my note from iphone to transfer all my whatsapp history chat, is it safe? everything works good i just ask it to be sure. by the way i use the "LITE" version of free download and now each message have - LITE, if i buy the full version its will remove it?
and a sub question, i used smartswitch to transfer my notes, calander, contacts is ok?
Sorry for the ignorance i know i asked so many stupid questions but i have to solve them.
thank you very much!!
1. I will say that the battery needs to be settled with our use, so if you got bad batt life in first few days of use, it will become better later..
And also you can turn off feature that you don't use or hate it.. for me, I always disable vibration and that sound when typing with keyboard because that disturb me..
2. You can use the force close, it's just like force closing apps in pc.. you know, in pc we can force close app with the task manager via ctrl+alt+del.. it's just like that..
3. For me, I let the system handle it.. me too have same amount of ram used as in your picture, and the phone is still buttery smooth..
And you can disable (turn off) preinstalled app (bloatware) that you don't use, like me, I disable evernote, dropbox, instagram, etc. so they won't run in background..
4. I'm not experienced with apple icloud system, but I think they have same functionality.. That sync is provided so if you change your device or maybe lost it, you still have your data with you in the new phone, but I never use it so much because I can keep my phone well
5. I can't answer this as I'm not using whatsapp..
And 1 more :
Welcome to the android world
heres mine with auto brightness, gps high acc, bluetooth on, wifi on, display wallpaper full black, animations off, fast charging off - after a full day of work. rarely gets below 40%. exynos 910u variant.

1. oh k, i hope its will be better. I considered to use the warranty and replace the battery but its make no sense because i bought the note before 2 days ago the battery is new from the box.
what do you recommend me to do?
and by the way to use auto brightness or to put it my self? and which way is the best way to charge the battery?
and i had 100% in in less then hour is drops to 88% only with whatsapp use, really strange.
and here is an update screenshot from my power save settings, 62% screen! i guess is the problem of my battery. so how can i make it lower? to 10-20 and even 30 its will make my battery better i guess no?
2. ok, and there is so many apps thats i dont have any idea what to do with them, devicetest, DCM,SERVICEMODE and alot more do not touch them? to close only Known Applications? and the most important, thats is effect on the battery life?
3. but evernote,instagram and all of this is in the manage applications also so whats its the diffrence and its effect on battery life also?
4. oh ok great!
5. k, and about smartswitch it is good? i used it to transfer contacts/notes.
thanks again!

yes its definitely your screen.
put it to basic, use a 256x144 full black wallpaper scaled up ( i attached one), turn animations off in dev options on your settings, set smart look on, set timeout to 10 seconds (dont worry smart look will prevent device shutting screen off while you look at it).
Just to show you i am not cheating and not using my note you can see my applications and memory usage, which is more than yours .

well one of your screenshot doesnt work and all the rest i belive you about the usage/ram
ok i did the picture on basic, but still the screen is on 62% i have to wait until is drops or what?and where is the set it on 256/144 scaled up? and i cant find the animations also in the settings.
smart look you mean smart stay? to put it on? and screen timeout is on 15 seconds is the lowest.
and one more thingthe brightness should be on auto? and what is the auto adjust screen tone put it on? have alot settings in the screen settings i really dont know haha.
i will glad if you help me find those settings. i have to lower my screen percentage from 60% to 10-20-30 at least.
thanks!
the black image i posted up is a 256 x 144 image. download it to your note and set it as background.

i did everything you said in the screen settings, but still in the power saving the screen is on 63% why?
When it should to drops? do i have to reset? charage again? wait? dont get it
and about the black image i dont want it on my wallpaper is that necessary?
about the dev options i enable it, when i set the scale off my screen become to red and flickering 10-15 sec until i stop the dev options. what is that?
so i didnt change the dev settings i did it off right now. what is this red flickering screen?
and btw i cant to disable/hide the dev options now right?
it will recalculate after 24 hrs.
the black screen is necessary - amoleds consume power on lit pixels.
scale off with animations off shouldnt cause flickering. sure you didnt switch anything else on ?

instead of manually force stop these app, you can open Settings > App manager > select apps and select Turn Off.
If you are not sure which app is safely can be turned off, you can post a list of apps here, I or maybe someone else will tell you which app can be safely turned off.
If you have rooted, you can remove them completely.

and by the way to use auto brightness or to put it my self? and which way is the best way to charge the battery?
and i had 100% in in less then hour is drops to 88% only with whatsapp use, really strange.
and here is an update screenshot from my power save settings, 62% screen! i guess is the problem of my battery. so how can i make it lower? to 10-20 and even 30 its will make my battery better i guess no?
2. ok, and there is so many apps thats i dont have any idea what to do with them, devicetest, DCM,SERVICEMODE and alot more do not touch them? to close only Known Applications? and the most important, thats is effect on the battery life?
3. but evernote,instagram and all of this is in the manage applications also so whats its the diffrence and its effect on battery life also?
4. oh ok great!
5. k, and about smartswitch it is good? i used it to transfer contacts/notes.
thanks again!
here is a update screenshot from now,
i guess the screen is the problem of my battery how can i make it lower to 10-20 more/less? thats is the question.
do you think this is the issue thats my battery life poor?

1. How long is your replacement warranty ? I suggest to wait it til the last day..
That screen percentage is show how much you use it.. screen will go high if you use it.. but that 60+ % is something.. I use my device often, and it's only as high as 30 something percent
2. I'll leave something that I didn't know.. You better google it to see it's used or not..
3. If you connect those apps, it's surely will drain the battery.. but I'm still turn it off if I not use it.. just in case they run in background..
5. I haven't used that apps..

instead of manually force stop these app, you can open Settings > App manager > select apps and select Turn Off.
If you are not sure which app is safely can be turned off, you can post a list of apps here, I or maybe someone else will tell you which app can be safely turned off.
If you have rooted, you can remove them completely.

1. i bought 2 days ago and i have 1 year warranty for battery replace.
yes now the screen is on 53% i guess like zurkx said its recalculate every 24hr no? before 1hr its was 63% so i hope its will be less and my battery should be better no?
but you know how long the note 4 battery life should work for while playing music/games/notes/settings ? 6 hrs? 9 hrs?
3. oh ok.

I don't know why.

someone told me here to do this,
settings - developer options - windows animation scale off. transition scale off duration scale off. show all ANRs.
(you will have to enable dev options - click on build number in about device 7 times)
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
and when i turn off the scale animation the screen start to flickering on red colors, after 5-10 sec its stopped and never happend again.
should i have to worried? btw like i said i already removed/hide the devs options from settings with the guide thats i showed you.
i found a picture from another website of the same problem thats happend to me but for nexus,
the same thing happend to me but its was flickering.
the question if i have to worry about it and do a reset or to forgot it? its happend only one time.
thank you

screen dimming at 5%

Is there a way to turn off screen dimming at 5%. In some situations (like outside) I can't see anything. Obviously you can turn the brightness back up. But I want to keep it from turning it down automatically
Use macrodroid to setup a macro

Auto brightness is the devil lol. Ive never used it and it has always been disabled. Do you have another solution to keep brightness from reducing to ZERO when phone reached 5%

No. This has been an issue on every LG device I've ever owned. I took basicreece advice and set a macro. Just finished testing it out and it works. Apparently after further digging this is a firmware limitation and there is no way to prevent this from happening without flashing another rom. Unfortunately I have the Sprint variant so my options are limited. Probably swap it out for my essential phone.. just sucks. This basic feature is so annoying. Especially when outside

I've used tasker to create a profile that below a value of 700 in light detection it turns off the "AutoBrightness" and uses a fixed table. Above that the "AutoBrightness" is switched back on.
You can long press on profile, then use impost to get it into tasker.

Auto brightness training

I often have to be very persistent in training the phone for brightness in the auto mode. Especially in the evening, when the brightness slider is to the left of the middle. I set the desired brightness, but it is not fixed. You have to do it 10 times or more, and after a minute the brightness again lives its own life. Has anyone come across this on customs ROMs? Everything was great on stock.

Maybe you don't know auto-brightness can be trained due to users preferences. At least it works on stock.
Or don't you use auto-brightness at all?
I am accustomed to auto-brightness at any time of a day and I like to use it. I don't want to change it mannualy after each changes of circumstances.
However on the custom ROM the process isn't so easy. I just have doubts if it will be successful at all.

i,m on Samsung J2 Pro 2018(i use most) with Super Amoled screen and my phone dosent supports auto brightness but i've seen in Redmi 9 Power (second phone i have) that it works according to light around you and cant be trained at all... i think you been talking about another concept, sorry... Tell me about it more if you can so i can learen about it.

There is nothing special to say more here. Just in the auto-brightness mode, the user sets the slider to the desired level at any time. This is repeated a certain number of times and after that the phone remembers the new settings and, depending on this, the new auto-brightness algorithm works. The learning process for brightness is endless. You can adjust it anytime to your preference. In any case, it worked fine on stock and the phone memorized new settings very quickly.

oh! its a cool thing. Thanks
I tried A11, A12, A13 ROMs, and after that I'm on A10 stock again. I think that's the best way for me to keep my nerve sells. Now the autobrigness doesn't even need additional training.
