note 3 screen auto dimming

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

Pardon my ignorance...but could you clarify what you mean?
I'm not even rooted yet and I found options to adjust everything you have mentioned there.

sorry if I was not clear with all those options turned off the screen keeps auto dimming during games so there is nothing you can do to keep the screen at same brightness what is unacceptable

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 actually noticed this as well while on Chrome. I don't always see it but it dims and goes back to normal. It's a bit annoying yes since my note 2 never had this problem.

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. ☺

horrible UI lag with Samsung theme

Hello, I have been playing with my new S7 edge a couple hours now and am liking it in some ways and wondering why the heck I paid 2.5x as much as I did for my 1+1 in many others. This maybe be a small thing, but I'm on the fence about returning the thing and going with a 6P instead, so hopefully some kind soul will help me confirm if my problem is my device or some software thing.
So, it seems that using any of the themes from the Samsung Store that contain an animated lockscreen totally bugger the S7. Here are steps to reproduce:
1) Go to the baked-in Samsung store, it's a Galaxy Essentials widget 2 screens over on mine
2) Choose Theme Store at the bottom, then AoD themes. Pick one with an animated lockscreen (Night Sky AOD and PixelQuest_AOD are two)
3) Download one and apply it. Lock phone and attempt to enter a pin.
At this point, my phone becomes almost unusably laggy - the only way I can get in is with the fingerprint sensor, and that even lags. Again, while this may not be a huge deal, it blows my mind that this $800 phone can't handle these 10 frame animations, especially since I was able to do similar on the 1+1 quite easily.
Thanks for any words of advice or confirmation on if this is a wider issue than just my phone. note the issue is gone after reverting to the stock theme, which wouldnt be a problem if I didnt hate the brightness - even the settings menus are much more readable to me with one of the themes I mentioned, other stuff aside.

I have shineblack AOD, it lagged exactly as you described. Then I turned off aod and it no longer lags. Well it still lags in Chrome but that's another story.

Hmm, so the lag goes away without AoD? Great, thank you - must just be a software bug they will (hopefully) correct soon then.
Edit: tried switching off AoD in display, still the same lag.. guess you meant switching off the theme

Don't know what I am doing wrong or right lol but my phone didn't lag at all. I tried night sky and pixel quest.

Well.. that's depressing then Thanks for the result though. The phone I got is a Snapdragon. It feels like it's struggling in several other ways to me - ie, install bars going to 80% and sticking there forever, phone gets warmer than my 1+1 ever did running emulators etc just sitting on the homescreen, etc. This lagginess seems portentious enough that if others respond like you, I will just return and swap for a 6p. So yeah, thanks again

Well I have the Snapdragon too so don't know what's going on. Bit I'm on T-Mobile so don't know if it will differ per carriers. But it does seem like you are someone that like pure vanilla Android and if that's the case yeah you might want to get the Nexus phone.
Sent from my SM-G935T using Tapatalk

No I still have the theme on. It was lagging when AND was on, but since I turned AOD off pressing the home button, scanning a fingerprint and unlocking the phone happens in 2 seconds with no lag. Maybe it's just the theme you were using, Idk. It's still really early on for this phone, I'd expect a release day update. But if this chrome lag and page refreshing keeps up I'll likely be returning this thing within the 14 day limit. My $400 MXPE performs better.

Ok, thanks guys. I'm on Tmobile as well - just did a factory reset and still have the same prob, so meh. Enough of an omen for me to get out while the getting's good.

When I had the S6 Edge Plus I noticed that there were a few themes that caused lag but then they were eventually updated by the creator and the lag went away.
Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I tried 4-5 different themes and i "feel" lagging with only white theme of tech section in Samsung themes.

QQ. Are you all rebooting right after you install new themes? I noticed on the S6 that this step was critical even if not directly recommended.

Did you use the AoD enabled themes? (always on display) - it only seems to be the ones with animated lockscreens that cause the lag, the Dino theme in that category does not, for example

I have rebooted several times, yeah. Also tried clearing cache and even a factory reset, with the same problem (just rushed into the samsung store and got a theme after the reset)
Are there any updates out already or anything I might be missing? Dont get why I'd have this prob and not someone with the same device/carrier like the guy posting here before, unless I just got a skunky phone or something Think I'm going to head to the T-Mobile store tomorrow and make them try it on one of the test units..

My lag came from when a theme applied a live wallpaper to the lock screen. I changed that back to a static paper and all is good again

@nukularpowar yes i have aod in every theme i tried. With England and others 2-3 everything was ok and very smouth but with white theme i found a little laggy from aod screen to unlock screen, also the scrolling seems to be slower than the others themes.

I've tried an AOD theme, I got no lag here using the Exynos variant

New OTA Moves features are sweet!!

With phones it is all about those small things that make the experience for you ever more enjoyable. Like everyone else not being able to quickly view notifications while your device was sitting on a desk was kind of annoying. While there were apps that tried to mimic this feature it just quite wasn't there.
Well with the new OTA that I promptly side loaded the Pixel is nearing perfect for me. Coming from the S7 Edge makes it even more enjoyable. Why? Because the S7 Edge always on display was kind of useless. Sure you can see the time and a few notifications but it just did not apply to enough apps which made it more annoying.
Anyone just my 2 cents.

I believe he's talking about pick up to wake and double tap to wake.

Can we use this http://www.droid-life.com/2013/02/1...date-a-nexus-without-root-or-custom-recovery/ and the file from the XDA article to flash on our Google Store variants?

I honestly used links from AndroidPolice. http://www.androidpolice.com/2016/1...otification-seems-like-an-accidental-rollout/
Downloaded and sideloaded the OTA. I have a Google Store device and flashed over fine.

Anyone having issues with the double tap to wake not working if the phone has been sitting idle for a while?

Always On Display : how to control with tasker

Well,
One of the lacks of our G6 is the notification led.
And I hate with allways display being allways on....
Anyone knows a way we can task to turn on always on display only when we have a new notification?
I think it whould be great and very battery friendly!
Cheers

There are some 3rd parties apps in play store, search ambient display.

Ok. I will.
But I whould like to use the default allways on display, but with this settings!

Me too, I would prefer also an implementation more like ambient display with gestures.

Also interested in that feature. It would be awesome if the screen just comes on when there is a new notification. It makes no sense to have it on all the time.
I don't know why lg does not implement this feature but packs all the "second screen" menus from the v10 as hidden menus into the g6.
The g6 is awesome (even with 32gb, no quad dac and ir... come on lg... but i bought it anyways), but now i just found out how much i miss the notification led from my gnex and i can't tolerate excessive battery drain by having an lcd on all day when there is no new information.

What “exzessive battery drain“?

Yes it switches off but for me it does not need to be on when there is no notification.
That would reduce the drain even more when >90% of the time there is nothing to be seen and if i want to see the time i can switch it on myself.
Just as an alternative to the missing notification led. Would be a very handy feature to minimize the backlight time and still see notifications and i am sure others would love that too.

Okay I agree with the LED. It is a fine feature.
I want AOD also for the time so it has to be shown.
Otherwise more customizations would be nice.
In your case "show only new notifications" for example.
LG has to consider that it should be not to complicated.

I was hoping we would get background images like samsungs on AOD.

Anyone to help with a tweak or something?

Of course there's a battery drain. It may be minimized but it's definitely there.
LG wouldn't include a switch for it in battery saver if it didn't.

This is what I found to Samsung devices :

The setting is not named aod_mode. If someone would find out what is this settings name, we could manage it with Tasker. I for sure would like to have AOD on, only when I have a notification.
Sent from my LG-H870 using Tapatalk

Guess I'm on the other side of the coin, I think this complaint is ridiculous, I like the AOD notification or not, with the addition of an led notification it would better.. It doesn't drain enough battery for me to care, if you don't want to see it turn the phone over or keep in pocket. Unless you're creeping and don't your partner to see you have a text (lol) its a non complaint IMO.

I love the AOD. It was very annoying to doubt tap my Pixel every time just to see if there is a notification. Battery life is pretty good still. I can't see this using maybe 5-6% over a charge.

led notification

I have tried both alternatives to the lack of one on the 6T. Nice apps ,but just not working out for me .. considering all the posts on the subject, does OP have any plans for a fix/update, @funkwizard? Thanks in advance
Have moved over to the OnePlus community.. Moderator, would you close this please? Thanks in advance

I'll be honest, I don't miss the LED notification. It really frees me to not be a slave to the phone. I use Mighty Text on the phone and at least while I'm home, notifications will show up on my laptop. The last few days I've been using their Chrome plugins which adds more notifications to the desktop, but I'm about ready to uninstall that because it can be really annoying.

I miss the LED terribly but haven't had time to look at the software alternatives. I often need to have the phone completely silent/no vibration, and not being able to see what's going on via varicolored strobing LED is a miss. Love the phone otherwise, but I really gotta sort out a solution using ambient display or some such, without killing the battery.

Because i ponder and ponder and fail to see any other reason than bragging; however, I'm only doing this to convince you of how much i like the app! Do note, this isn't a premium i paid to unlock functionality, it's just well deserved, in my opinion...

It's a app that lights up the edge of your screen when a notification comes in. It can also light up the Status Bar area if you are in another app.
