Anybody else experiencing this issue?
I looked everywhere but found no real solution.......
Tried flashing new rom no luck ...
This was quite common with the S2, what you can try is to power off your phone and remove the battery for 20-30mins, if the same issue occurs either the battery sensor is messed up or IDK.
Happened with my infuse in the summer out in the sunlight and i posted a topic in there about it. They say its normal
Well I tried this still not working .....

Same problem here. Even i charge my Note also is heating. Dun know why.
Screen bright again
I dont know what cause this problem, but I got the same thing on my phone. A temporarily solution is to install Brightness Level from Android Market. It does not fix the problem in the system settings but it makes your screen 100% bright again

Maximum brightness? trying to get blind?
just joking....
Why so much brightness?
You know that you will get burn-in sooner with so much brightness?
yea sometimes its like a heatpad on my thigh jeans pocket
Well for me it dissapeared suddenly... I'm happy

Is there a way to remove this protection?
When I have the gps in the car I get that all the time, even if the phone is not hot at all, very annoying because with the sun and sunglasses -> cant see the screen very well.. stupid!
If you have one of those tpu softcases you will not know whether or not your note is hot just by the feel. Those cases are terrific insulators. I had overheating with the Note on GPS and charging. It actually shut down once and dropped out of the GPS signal a couple of times. Took the Nillikin case off and found that the whole phone was very hot.
After the case was removed I continued the trip with four days of continuous GPS and on charge with no problems. Even with the TPU naked, it still got pretty warm at the top half of the phone, but worked fine with brightness set pretty high. I think this is normal for the Note
[FiX] Galaxy Note ICS OVERHEATING PROBLEM SOLVED
[FiX] Galaxy Note ICS OVERHEATING PROBLEM SOLVED:
1 Go to settings- developer options - UNCHECK "Dont keep activities"
2 Use go launcher ex (or some other good launcher...) instead of default launcher
3 Instal from google play android assistant and use it to clean cache and stop most of background process
4 install from google play "cpu master free" (MUST HAVE ROOTED PHONE) and set 1000 MHz for MAXIMUM, and check box "set on boot"
P.S. DO NOT expect that your phone will be cold as ice after you do this...
ICS is build that you can use max. out of dual core, and galaxy note is pretty slim and back is made out of plastic...All that increase heating problem...
Hope i helped! =D
download the free version of "watchdog" and it will give you an alert if any software uses a lot of cpu power, you might have to go into setting and add system process to the watch list, you can also whitelist and blacklist program so they are killed as soon as they cpu usage goes above a certain level, though this might be pro version only.
Only use watchdog to find the problem and then remove it as it can use quite a bit of cpu power itself.

Having modded the framework for my rom to include lower brightness mod i can say that the values set in the decompiled framework are virtually the same as gb values infact brightness was increased at the lowest level from 32 in gb to 40 in ics with powersaving mode set to 32 in ics

I see no difference at 38 and below in LQ3. The lowest dim at 39. At 40 the brightness will then increase.

Hi legion =)
I most often use phone at 100% brightness simply just because I like it when the screen is bright and clear, colors appear nicely too on high brightness. And outdoors in sunlight its sometimes hard to see whats on the screen even though brightness is set to 100%. You were right about the burn-in. Can see some burn-in if looking very carefully, depending on what colors there are on the screen over the burn-int areas. But still they are so weak and hard to notice even when you know where to look for those areas that I will probably have bought a galaxy note 2 or maybe even 3 before they appear clearly visible and too annoying to endure

I use the goku kernel together with the LRQ stock rom and my phone does not overheet. Sure it gets hot when charging or surfing the web, especially with wifi on. But this has been normal with all smartphones I have owned so far.

We all know about turning your brightness down saves battery life... but I had to wonder, why when I had my brightness down so low, on swagged out stock, was my display using over 70% of my battery life and draining my phone out so fast. It was an issue on every other rom too, so I thought it was just a hardware issue.
I discovered the culprit.
Its the backlight on the capacitive buttons on the bottom!
I discovered this by trying out cyanogen, and I was tweaking the autobrightness calibrations. I discovered that regardless of screen brightness, the buttons were at 255 for 4 of the 10 tiers of brightness, while the other 7 they were at zero.
Well, when I'm in a room bright enough for tier 2-4, I don't need the light, and I checked a dark room for the bottom tier, and dropping it all the way down to 1 (from 255 mind you!!!) was sufficient. This stopped LCD backlight bleeding on the bottom edge of the device that was annoying the heck out of me!!!
I also recalibrated autobrightness to what I'd use as manual brightness at various light conditions.
I tried it with very active use for a few hours...drastically slower battery life drain.
Since I'm on cyanogen 7.2 nightly (night after RC3 came out), I'm using the tiamat 4.1.1 kernel.
My CPU drain is semi irrelevant because I use smartassv2, using nstools, to recalibrate the governor to be much more battery friendly. My ideal, sleep, and wakeup speeds are 100mhz, while my max is 100, and min is 85. Doesn't feel laggy at all. Clock is still 245 to 998mhz.
I think you are onto something big here.
I've also noticed that on some roms the display is always the biggest drainer. By back light you mean the 4 button at the bottom right. Now I'm on Deck's Reloaded and loving it but would like to improve on battery. The best rom ever that I have had is MikMik v3.11 with AnthraX 2.6.38.6-REV_004 kernel. Display was never the biggest drainer, in fact the battery would last way too long, I thought something was wrong with my phone setup. I guess either Mik rom or Anthrax kernel had a tweak for back light built in. Now that I remember it was after I installed Anthrax kernel. It was a great setup but ran out of mem all the time.
Thanks so much for sharing I think i've seen a setting for this in the rom I'm sporting now.
Not that Deck's Reloaded is bad on battery its good+ but there is always an new improvement to try out.

There is no difference in light output between 1 and 255. If it is anything other than zero, the capacitive lights are fully "on" (and light bleeds just as much as it ever does).
But if what you say is true (ie the backlight behind the capacitive buttons causes a lot of battery drain), then yes, it's a great idea to set it to zero for the three levels above total darkness that aren't already zero.

any lux or doenst matter?
I just disabled the bottom button light for all frequencies. I know where and what the buttons are/do from memory.
I've noticed SERIOUS improvements. I've noticed on manual brightness, its always on.

Good info, I will play around with my settings and see what kind of progress I can make improving battery life and report back here.
downloading screen filter app from the market disables soft key buttons and dims brightness to whatever you want with a touch of a button.

After more experimentation, I have found that this has to be the single largest change on extending the evo's battery in history, besides not running the screen at max.
I finally don't murder my battery every day!
After I did my testing, I actually put in a new battery, anker 1700mah from amazon, and it got even better Now I really only need to charge every 2 days.
Great info-will have to do some messing around and check it out!

Ok... what exactly are you talking about with 255 and tiers? The only way I know to adjust the screen brightness is on the slider under settings, display, then just slide it over.
Please inform so I can save my battery from early death too

I've been using Karma's Heaven ROM since last saturday and the battery life has just been AWESOME!. I've tried about 30 different ROMs in the past year and this seems to have finally done it for me.

Hey all not trying to threadjack, but is there a way to disable the buttons so when it is dark they come on, but off when it is bright out?

The short answer is yes. The slightly longer answer is that it can be done but the ease of doing it depends on your ROM.
If you are on a CM9 based ROM you can use this:

Although it says it's for CM9, it should work with other aosp roms as well...I've used it on Decks reloaded and Paranoid Android. I couldn't tell you about Sense

Hi
Has anyone noticed on their S4 that when you go onto the internet the screen brightness dims slightly? (happens on some other apps as well. I have got the brightness set to max and turned auto brightness off.
Does anyone know why this is happening?
This is a battery saving trick implemented by Samsung. Amoled screens eat up more juice on the white pixels and not much on the black ones. That's why the theme is dark too. There have been a few threads about this issue already, if you want more details.

Hi.
so I noticed something with my Oneplus Two. I am not sure if its because of the kernels or its like that form the start.
my wife has HTC ONE M9+, when my battery is full or above 50%, my screen is brighter than her screen. we use the google page from the browser to compare colors. however, when my battery is lower than 50% ( I tested it today when it was around 40% or 38% battery remaining)
and her screen was brighter than mine.
I tried all three kernels available. and all the same results. and the auto brightness is already unchecked.
any idea why this is happening ? the problem is I don't have the official kernel and I don't want to format my phone or whatever to get the stock kernel to test this again.
the only reason I actually went ahead and installed a custom kernel is because in my eyes the colors of the phone was a lil washed out " true to life but not to my liking" as I am used to more color options.
any reason why this is happening and is there a way to fix this ?
at one point I am not even sure this has something to do with the battery. it might be something to do with the phone heating ? I honestly cant tell. but feeling the phone from the back its not even warm.
thanks in advance to anyone who can actually help.
i did more testing and i still cant figure out where exactly is the problem.
my phone is now fully charged and if i go to twrp to install a kernel or something, the screen goes a lil dim again as the phone gets warm. so maybe heating has something to do with it.
is there a way to stop the phone from dimming even if its get warm ?
So I understand why you're asking the question, and it's not a bad question to ask, but you're comparing two vastly different devices.
Everything from the screen type(LCD3 vs LTPS LCD), to screen resolution (1440p vs 1080p), to processor(Mediatek Helio vs Snapdragon 810), to Android version (5.0.2 vs 5.1.1), to ROM/kernel (SenseUI vs OxygenOS) is different.
In short, you're not comparing Apples to Apples.

yeah I am not comparing screens. I just want to know why the screen dim. upon further inspection. it seems the dimming happens when I restart the phone. it needs some time then it will go up in brightness again to be higher than my wife phone.
I am no longer sure what causes this behavior. heating? restarting the phone ? phone battery ?

Autobrightness is controlled through the OS and the ambient light sensor. When you reboot the phone, the screen comes on, the OS checks the light conditions through the sensor, then adjusts the brightness accordingly--either up or down based on what the OS believes is the optimal condition. You can see it in action when you hold the phone under a bright light, then suddenly turn off the light or move away from it. While under the light, the device will increase brightness to 100%, then will dim once you move away.
There is definitely some battery savings in the way autobrightness behaves as well, since the Display is normally the number one consumer of battery power--as it should be, since it's the main way you interact with the screen or get information from the device.
In any which case, you know you can set the brightness manually through the settings, right? If you turn off autobrightness and set it manually, the phone shouldn't adjust anymore.

In this mod it increase the sensitivity of sensors and reduce power consumption used by screen or LED's in phone and use electrons present in battery according to an selinux algorithm which gives system ability of using less battery even in maximum brightness it is a screen based mod so it does not affect performance of phone hope you Satisfya with this explanation

I wish any way that will increase my screen dim time(the time taken b4 screen goes to completely black) . So that I can save some amount of juice without affected my reading (hobby)
Any help would be highly appreciated.
