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.

I thought the disply was the same not counting the size difference. Did youvtry adjusting the brightness in settings?

The s4 is a lot brighter to me what are your display settings? I did the same switch.

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

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.

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....

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.

As stated before, Galaxy S3 should get 5,6 h of screen on time on max brigtness. But today i got only 3,5 h of screen on time? Why that happened?
PS: i have official Jelly Bean installed

Well, but auto brightness is too dim indoors.
I usually keep brightness on 50% indoors, but when i go outside, i set brightness on max.

install better battery stats and find out if you have any out of the ordinary kernel/partial wakelocks
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?
Sent from my HTC One using xda app-developers app
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?
Sent from my HTC One using xda app-developers app
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.

Coming from a note 2... I've grown accustomed to my screen waking/lighting up when i get a text. .. Do u guys know how to have my note 3 do the same thing?
Not sure but I'm glad they got rid of it. Was a battery killer. But they should at least give u the option to turn it off and on

Depending on how attached you are to the stock messaging app you could use a third party messenger. I use handcent and it makes the screen light up

Can anyone tell me what the Power saving toggle actually does? Not the Ultra Power saving, just the power saving toggle. What all does it do? How much effect does it have on performance? How much improvement to battery life have you see using it?
If you would have gone to the option it would have told you. It blocks background data, but more importantly tones down the Cpu. There's also a option if you want to put it in gray scale mode for further saving.
