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.

Is there any way to dim the touch keys? On my white s3 they are the brightest in low light conditions. I know I can shut them down in the system menu without a hack, and but I like to see them in daylight.

Would be great to have an option to dim them....
Sent from my GT-I9300 using xda app-developers app
I don't think there is a way to dim them.
I just turned mine off, they were way way too bright.
I know where they are anyway...
Yeah. Good point. I know where which key is too, but my wife doesn't, and on her HTC her keys are switched in function.

Simply, no. If you move from 4:3 (or 16:12, to clarify the point) resolution to 16:9, you will lose pixels since there's only 9 pixels vertical for every 16 horizontal instead of 12. And since we're already at the top end of the camera, we can't compensate that by adding horizontal pixels to keep the total amount same. So you will lose pixels if you want to take widescreen images, no matter what.
This is really bad for so called PHONE OF THE YEAR.
Is this feature added in any custom rom?

The average user and some of most advanced users don't care about this.
So just because it doesnt do what you want means it cant be the phone of the year.
Myself doesn't know what you talking about

Only solution is to use 6mp mode for widescreen photos. I use CameraZoomFX
Yes I think so, as its one of the basic feature which even every ordinary phone possess.
Sent from my GT-I9300 using xda app-developers app
The only solution with the stock camera app is to use 6MP or any resolution on the phone marked W. You cant use 8. So answer is a NO.

It's no big deal, i see barely the difference, the only thing i like about it is that now Google Music is supported in my country. i can upload 20000 songs and listen to them everywhere.
Kinda the same,actually i like the older better

+1 and it reminds me of the first market

I think the older one looks much better
It looks less depressing. I mean that in a very literal sense. Darker colors are drab and make use of a tablet seem less fun and more of a chore. So to add color makes the device pop out more

Dark screens save power on amoled devices. I prefer it bright and warm, my only oled display is a monochrome one on the car hifi.
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.

I have noticed NY screen brightens and dulls when auto display is on. Thidls behaviour started with last Amazon update. I just turn auto off...
I can't turn off the auto dark feature on mine off or on it still reacts to light I think its a faulty sensor there sending me another so I guess I will see. Does your still react to light?
