Background downloads and processes

I'm running the 5/29 Imnuts PBJT kernel with comm rom 1.3.
I use an app called tubemate to download YouTube videos.
Lately, I've noticed that if my screen goes off, the phone will throttle back the speed my my download to almost nothing. When I unlock it, it speeds up vastly.
So unless I want to wait for an hour for a 20 Meg download, I have to keep it awake.
Same holds true for ttorrent downloads...
Can anyone explain to me why that happens. Is it normal behavior....is something not set up right....is there a way to give a process higher priority when the screen is off for downloads.....what's the deal? It's really annoying.

Are you on wifi? If so try changing your wifi sleep settings

Have you changed any clock speed settings? Maybe your cpu is slowing down when the screen is off?

I'm running the kernel exactly how it comes defaulted.

Problems with streaming nightly latest and glitch

Has anyone had problems. Streaming on nightly cm7 glitch both the latest. Because my phone screen dims super low when I stream
Sent from my SCH-I500 using XDA App
Streaming as in Netflix or what? Check brightness settings, make sure it is turned up and autobrightness is not on.
No in general lit dims itself
Then the brightness wont work without voodoo

Streaming what exactly? And try reflashing rom, kernel, etc... kinda hard to understand your problem. You could be streaming a lot of different things.
HBO GO runs fine for me.

Why is the screen so dim?

I was comparing this phone to my galaxy s3. The s3 is so much brighter. I know there are many threads about different screen issues but none that talked about the brightness. Do I possibly have a defective one? Is there a tweak for this? Has anyone else experience this and was able to fix it by installing a custom Rom?

They both have different types of screens. The GS3 has an amoled display. The HTC one has an SLCD3 display. Different properties of displaying color and brightness. BTW when it is dim, do you have it set at auto brightness or none at all?

It's not on auto. Power save is off along with everything else. So it's on maximum brightness. So basically amoled is the way to go.

You came to the wrong conclusion
All the reviews with benchmarks on screen brightness all show the One to be much much brighter than the S3 and S4. My guess us your One is defective, A quick trip to an ATT or T-Mobile store will confirm that.

S4 vs note 2 brightness

Hello I just was wondering I just switched from the noteb2 to the s4 and for some reason it seems the note 2 screen was brighter than the a4 and easier to see in sunny conditions. Is it true? If so can I fix it somehow? I would of thought the newer phone to be brighter.

The s4 is a lot

I thought the disply was the same not counting the size difference. Did youvtry adjusting the brightness in settings?
Sent from my SCH-I545 using XDA Premium 4 mobile app
The s4 is a lot brighter to me what are your display settings? I did the same switch.
Sent from my SCH-I545 using XDA Premium 4 mobile app
Auto adjust screen tone is checked and auto brightness. But even at 50% brightness it seems darker than note 2. Noteb2 I left on auto and in sunny spots could see fine. Hmm

Also all power saving enabled
Sent from my SCH-I545 using xda app-developers app
To me the S4's screen gets much brighter than what the Note 2 could do... but more importantly it's a lot CLEARER which counts a lot more for my eyes. If your concern was brightness than you should have bought an HTC One or G2 honestly (anything with an LCD Display).
What are your settings? Do u have power saving mode enabled? Does kernel or ROM make a difference? I just like to use auto

Not sure if rom makes a difference, I've only been on Stock rooted ME7 so far. I use auto with adjust screen on and no power savings. If you want it to seem brighter you should turn off power savings and adjust screen tone... I actually like the warmer tones it adjusts whites to but I can see how some people would not. You shouldn't really need power saving because the battery on this thing is pretty good, but if you want to save battery the right way just root and use Greenify and you'll be set. I can go a day and a half easy with Greenify. I've also heard that the app Lux is really good for saving power, it basically replaces the auto brightness and gives you tons of more options, but I haven't tried it myself.
