Hello, I have an HTC desire and a Legend, the legend screen is a little more brighter than the desire, is an obvious difference when they are side by side, is this normal?
The photo does not show it well...
Assuming you've got both set to "Automatic Brightness", it's probably just minor differences on the brightness sensor. I'd imagine if you turned off auto brightness and set both to max brightness, they'd be about the same, though they are different screens and so could be different.
The real question is - is it a problem?
Regards,
Dave
No, I hope is not a problem, I hope it's normal the difference, I do not have another desire to compare to see if my desire is defective, or is normal.
And here in my location they sold out.
Try turning off auto-brightness and setting both to maximum brightness to see how much difference there is without the sensor complicating the issue.
That being said, they are different screens and since AMOLED screens are not backlit it is possible that the Legend screen just happens to be slightly brighter anyway.
Regards,
Dave
I have the same, the Desire screen is less bright than my Legend when both at at full brightness (and automatic brightness turned off).
Same issue here,both in auto brightness

The whole time I had my original EVO 0002 version, the backlight for the 4 round hardware buttons at the bottom of the screen, stayed lit whenever my screen was on, period. Now that I had to get a 0003 replacement device, it seems like either HTC changed something or my replacement is borked. Now the 4 buttons seem to light sometimes and sometimes not. I can't tell if there is some kind of deliberate pattern, or if it is tied to the sensor for adjusting the display brightness, or if its just broke. How is the backlight supposed to work on this version?
Thanks
my 0003 does the same thing, wish I could just keep them off.
Interesting, I noticed the other day that mine would light up even with then screen off so i wiped cache and dalvik. This fixed that issue but from your post I noticed mine does the same thing... Are you running a custom kernel?
Edit: I went into a dark room and turned my screen on probably 20+ times and they lit up every time. So my guess would be that it has to do with the brightness sensor. When its bright in the room its probably set up to where they are not supposed to come on.
Yes its designed that way.. it only lights up indoors or when its not really that bright ... pretty damn cool huh? I think htc was trying anything to increase battery life..

Did you mean it only lights up indoors when it isn't in a bright room? Because mine does not always light up indoors?!
Ok thanks everyone who resonded. I suspected that it was a new "feature" introduced on the newer hardware version, meant to extend battery by only lighting the buttons when it was dark for whatever reason. Makes sense since the nice silver etching for the circle and icons makes using them simple in even low lighting. Its just annoying as heck watching them turn on and off randomly, when you are so used to them just being lit all of the time you are using the phone, like I am from my original unit.
Now I know my refurb isn't just screwy.
hello i have just gotten an tmobile g2, this is my second one, the first one had bad pixels, but anyways. i have noticed that the screen on the g2 seems a little low. like the colors are alot warmer than that to my hd2. so i guess we can call it that the screen has Color Saturation is this how the phone is suppose to be? or is there a problem? or is there a way to boost the backlight ? (yes i have brightness 100% question is can we get it past 100%)
thanks in advance

My wife and I both have month old gs3's. Both are stock, have brightness set to auto, and power saving mode on. However, hers is much brighter than mine.
She has a white phone and I have a blue one. Am I missing another setting that could be different on our phones?
Have you tried manually going through each of the brightness settings to see if they are different when not set on auto?

Yup. They're the same. It's only with auto.
In my experience auto brightness has never really worked properly for me on any Android I've had.. I personally always have my screen as low as possible, it's pretty bright even like that.
I have heard that its not uncommon for inconsistencies in screen brightness on some phones. May be a quality control issue

If the brightness of the phones are working manually then i would just chalk it up to minor inconsistencies in the photo cell's on each device, which is to be expected.
Check if "auto adjust screen tone" is checked in Settings -> Display.
EDIT: If it's only with auto, maybe the brightness sensor is a little wack. You could try the Lux brightness app in the play store, as you can manually set the outdoor brightness/screen brightness ratios.

Sorry for bumping this but I have the exact same issue. Mine is blue, my wife's is white. Her phone is way brighter set to auto than mine. It's the same if auto is turned off, her phone is way brighter.
Google searches don't reveal any suggestions...
So this is definitely not a blue vs. white phone issue. In my office, four other people have Galaxy S3s. Three are blue like mine and one is white. I compared all of their phones to mine and mine is way dimmer and a slightly different color temperature than theirs are. I did a factory reset on my phone and it made no difference. The phone is only 12 days old so I am going to take it back up to Best Buy today and see if they can swap it out.
**Update**
Best Buy swapped the phone for me and the issue is resolved for me. In fact, the new phone is a little brighter than some of the phones I had compared to before.
Hi, my english won't be very good because it's not my native langage.
I'm very sensitive to the flicker caused by PWM (Pulse Width modulation) wich is a technique used in the backlighting of a lot of LCD display to dim the brightness of the screen. I'm a "migraineur with aura" wich is a neurological disease, so like epileptic people my eyes and my brain are very sensitive to all sort of visual stress even the most subliminal one like PWM used at a high frequency. And I wanted to know if the note 10.1 (2014) use PWM to dim the screen at all level of brightness? I m' sure that it use it a least until 50 %, and that it is not PWMed at 100% brightness. Cause at 50% i'm sick litteraly within second, and at 100% i'm ok. But I have not tested all the level between 50 to 100 cause if it's flicker I can have quite a serious seazure, which would leave me ill for days, so it's quite hasardeous for my health. So what i'm doing is that i leave the system brightness to 100% wich of course is too bright, but I dim it with a soft (screen adjuster) that can dim the display without touching the backlight. But it's not a perfect solution cause the display is still using a lot of energy that way and there's a lot amount of blue wavelenght coming from it and i'm sensitive to blue wavelenght too. Basically as you can see, LED backligh is not a very good technology for epileptic people, eye-sensitive or migraineur. (I personally think it's not a healthy tec for anybody)
So, I just wanted to know if someone know if there's an "official" level where the note doesn't use PWM anymore to control the brightness of the screen, I mean below 100? Thanks in advance, and i'm sorry if my post can sound a bit confuse, it's not easy to try to ask and explain something in a langage that's note your native langage. Thanks in advance.
