[Q] samsung galaxy a500f auto brightness problem - Samsung Galaxy Alpha

Samsung galaxy a500f auto brightness problem , the auto brightness is very dim moving the auto brightness slider to maximum still does not make much difference , as i have used Samsung s4 and note 2 there screen auto brightness is very good can someone tell me what's wrong with Samsung a500f??? any help will be appreciated...

Not just yours. Mine a500g also has that. I had s4 mini before this and it was way brighter than a5 on auto brightness. But hey its pretty easy to change brightness manually too

Dear it's not about adjusting manually, it's about when you pay for such a premium price phone that has a light sensor then why it is not working correctly as it should have to .

Actually your "Paying Premium" argument is true especially for our a5. We have indeed paid premium and Sammy should fix this.
Especially now when Sammy has released galaxy j7 which cost less than our a5 but has far batter CPU and GPU. Ohhh and I forgot it comes with 5.1.1 out of the box while my a500g is still running on 4.4.4. Damn I am angry now

Awesome phone!!!
Just upgraded from Galaxy S2 to Note 3 Neo.....What an amazing phone!! Really hope we get some developer love soon ....hopefully someday one of the geniuses from XDA would be able to port the Note 3 Camera App for Note 3 Neo as well (no night, golf, surround, animation modes available in Note 3 Neo camera app)!
PS: I am not able to find the setting for changing the Screen Mode on Note 3 Neo. I tried searching for this setting, but when I click on the search result for Screen Mode, it takes me to the display settings, however the option is not available there, Did Samsung remove this??
I just upgraded from Htc One to note 3 neo.I think with 2 days i am satisfied .but I hope for support and the new kit kat update.

sorry what i meant was if this device was released in specific countries i.e. Singapore, HongKong.
the reason i asked is some samsung models are only released on some countries.

Hey guys. Today I read about the Note 3 Neo and how it has the same resolution screen as the Note II. Is the screen PenTile or does it have the same RGB layout as the Note II?
Thanks guys.
I love this phone !
My note 3 neo satisfied my requirements, this is the best phone I ever had.
But there is one issue when tethering via wifi my phone gets too hot. Any one else got this issue.
I'm using Note 3 and Note 3 Neo, the batteri life is better (20% more) with Neo and colors of the screen also, not the speed, but the price difference is a feature to evaluate the Neo.
Completely satisfied.
I suggest the Spigen Neo Hybrid cover, fantastic!

I am pretty sure color gamut of Note 3 > Neo. Also battery is better because:
1) Neo has slower CPU
2) Neo handles lesser number of pixels
If money is an issue, I would rather get second-hand Note 3 because of developer support and better performance.
In Italy the price difference is 70 euro, online you can buy the Neo with 340 €, not bad, less more than Note 2.
I love my Neo, I think in May Kit Kat will arrive and more developers support.

I agree that there is a lot of support for note 3 exynos sm900 than the neo , but would like to ask is the speed difference really too much , after all hexa core has hmp using all 6 cores together , want to buy a new neo can any one confirm any call recording app working in neo, as far as rate is concerned , now there is a difference of about 10 k in neo and note 3 octa , I just feel neo makes a better choice of purchase cause samsung has included most of the features in neo

Call recording,
hi, i have N7505 (Exynos hexa) and first i rooted, debloated and installed Xposed and Wanam xposed module to make some tweaks to stock rom. My surprise that call recording feature was not available in Wanam Xposed module - probably due to some incompatibility or something.
But i had Titanium Backup of my apps from previous S4 (S600 version) - Wanam Xposed included. So on top of my normal instalation of Xposed, i tried to restore my Titanium backup and now call recording works just like that - but i still can not see the "enable call recording" feature available in W-Xposed - it is unticked and greyed out. But it works fine.
Exy-hexa has today 0 support (but thank you guys for root and recovery). I wanted to bring up call recording feature as a first step but when it worked for me this way.... I do not know if it will work on 4.4. which is not available yet for N7505 - but i am so happy with the device that i will probably not upgrade to 4.4. - anyway it wont get any extra super duper features.
So far i am happy with the speed+battery life+camera, i d say that S600 on my S4 that is still laying next to me is "creeping like a snail" and batt life is more than double of my S4-S600. I thing that Samsung can really make a good SoC and Snapdragons are just "benchmark hunters".
Only feature that i miss is "screen mode" - i like to set all my amoled devices to some not so oversaturated screen mode - but NEO misses this feature - but after some days i am also fine with it. CPU looks to be super fine with all of i throw in. Even my daily usage app (RDP app) is a bit snappier.
Display - yes 720p but everything looks sharp and it has nice whites, better whites than S4 and is brighter also on direct sunlight - brighter than S4.
Only concern is that CPU on stock kernel runs in "userspace" - 4xA7 constantly maxed out at 1,3ghz and 2xA15 stays on its min 800mhz - all 6 together, all the time when device idle. I saw some custom kernels from N3 where they replaced "userpace" with "ondemand" and gained some extra batt life with no power loss...but i dont know if ondemand can handle hmp this way as there is no hmp exynos device yet except this. If we had some experienced kernel builder here...I only tried to lower max frequencies from 1,3 to 1,1 and 1,0ghz - device still usable. I also tried to switch off 1 or 2 A7 cores and device really became sluggish. Only reason i wanted to try if i can get some extra juice out of it to keep reasonable speed of device. I thing there is no real need to run all 6 cores when i browse dialer, call or just read something on the screen - if device could park efectively some of its cores, batt life might be even better - but switching them off completely is not good.
Also NEO fits to my hands better than N3 - so at the end, it is good device and you might not to regret buing it. I got mine for 299EUR which is totally fair price. But i wouldnt pay 400 or more for it when initially released.

I do agree to all u say but I was looking for a way to use call recording app without rooting , so is there any app that would be able to record a call recording without root , in india only n750 3G model is available , and not 7505 model
It seems auto record does work with the note 3 octacore without rooting , just wanted to know if it works with note 3 neo too

EDIT ..
Just been informed that it wont work as internals are completely different.. :crying:
I was thinking if there is possibility to implement colour temperature ? this screen is set to VERY warm color temp. !!
Maybe we could set to cold ? So withe can be actually white !
Anybody has idea ?
Thnx

The 2017 are so new, I went with the Galaxy A5 2017 instead of jumping on the A7, I was afraid the A7 would be just too big for me.
I have a Sony Xperia Z3+ and like it for the most part but it doesnt have fast charging and the battery is not all day, Many reviews say that the battery will last all day on the A5 2017, since I get it tonight I will set it up and test tomorrow and see.
I know its a step down from an s7 but its only a short step from what I see on the reviews.
At half the price new ( 329 here in USA) it seems like a bargain

I have a Samsung Galaxy S5 mini. How would an A3 2017 be in comparison? Would it be a justifiable upgrade? I got marshmallow on my S5 mini now and it works so much better but I think I might like to save for a new phone and I need something in a similar size and form-factor. The best I could find was the A3 2017 but I am unsure, can someone walk me through how much of an upgrade it might be and what the benefits would be?

The A3 2017 is way better, first you will get a bigger screen ( 4.7") compared to the 4.5" found on the S5 mini, you get a 13mp camera vs 8mp on your current device, 0.5GB more RAM and way better Soc ( Exynos 7870 octa ), also the A3 2017 have a bigger battery (2350mah) compared to the smaller 2100mah found on the S5 mini.
Software wise you have the latest grace ux on the A3, which is lighter, faster and more beautiful,with AOD support like on the S7 edge.
You get IP68 certification, dust and water proof resistance, a fingerprint scanner and a way better design, so premium.
So yes it's worth, the A3 7 blows the S5 mini of water.
Thanks! Do we know what the update/OS upgrade cycle will be on the A3 2017? Like, will I get new OS for 2 years, 3 years etc? If I go for a new phone like this A3 2017 (almost certainly going to be the one as I love Samsung and need sub 5") I would want it to last me for as long as possible.

Do you have a Samsung ISOCELL sensor or a Sony sensor?

I believe the two possibilities of the rear camera sensor are either the Sony IMX345 or the Samsung ISOCELL SAK2L3.
To check which version you have:
Download AIDA64 from the Play Store
Open the app
Click on "Devices"
Allow it permission to access the camera if asked
The sensor you have should be written on the "Camera ID" section
If it says SLSI_SAK2L3_FIMC_IS you have the Samsung sensor or if it says SONY_IMX345 you have the Sony sensor

I got mine here in Australia and I don't know if phones bought here have different camera sensor or they all come with the Samsung sensor. But given the choice, I will always pick a Sony sensor.
