Increase maximum brightness of the display - AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III

Is it possible to increase the maximum brightness of the display. I read something about a fix for the international version. Will it work in the AT&T version as well?

Hello,

I just flashed CM9 and seems like the battery is draining fast even after calibration.
I really liked the CM9 and wish to stay with it just that I was looking after proper information as to where to find a nice battery higher than 1300 and will it make any change than the original 1300mah ?
Am in INDIA wish if can find some higher mah for wildfire here to test at low cost ?

I have no experience with CM9/ICS and I personally didn't try any different battery packs but from my experience you could do a lot of things to cut battery drain to a minimum (reducing the WiFi scan freq. to a lower value, gaining more control over the CPU frequencies in different states, prevent processes and services from re-/starting etc.)

You shod increase the WiFi scan interval frequency to a HIGHER number, not lower

I know you're not an English native (like me, too) and I probably didn't use the proper terms for noobs - but this can't be a simple misunderstanding of terms - just think about it a minute (or two)... :silly:
you can't set the scan interval frequency to a higher number... because there isn't such a thing but there's also no scan frequency value lol. Anyway you can set the scan interval to a higher number (= more time between scans) to lower the scan frequency
So there is no value for the frequency (silly me) but that's what the (higher) value for the interval does: lower the frequency
LOL Pmsl - confusion all over - I shouldn't post when in a hurry...

[Q] Is it possible to force constant frame rate while video recording?

I filmed video on my Galaxy S3 (i747) in 1080p Superfine quality.
The default seems to be Variable frame rate, and with that
Minimum of 4 FPS
Maximum of 30 FPS
Average of 25 FPS
Anyone know if I can force the video frame rate at a constant 25(24) FPS or 30(29) FPS?
May it be an app or something more comprehensive.
The biggest problem I am facing is when there is a lot of motion involved, and I'm shooting at 4 FPS, the end result looks just terrible.
so, no suggestions on how I might achieve constant frame rates?

The only thing I can see is OC. Or better performance governor/scheduler. That being said, you'll need custom ROM/kernel to do those.

Any specific suggestions on a ROM/Kernel and governor/scheduler I could use?
My phone is currently rooted but running stock 4.1.1

It doesn't really matter which one you use, you'll just have to find one that you like and allows OC (look at their features and such). Also, you'll have to decide whether you want to stay with TW or go for AOSP. If you don't know the difference, I suggest a little search/read
P.S.: You might be able to download TricksterMod from the Play Store and OC with it by just being rooted. Not 100% sure though as I don't use stock.
Good luck!

Brightness Question

Hi.. just got my g pad few days ago and really loving it personally because of its perfect size, great build quality, and great sound quality (well far better than my note 3 )..
Whats really bugging me though is the relatively low brightness.. its the only darn downside.. So:
Is brightness hardware issue or software? If latter is there any settings or better yet ROMs that offer higher or better brightness?
Thanks!

this definitely has not been brought up before five thousand times, and a search certainly would not help you.

Really?
If you only had 5 posts to your name we would've given you a break, but not 248!!
Search the forum for "brightness problem" and read a few eh?
Seriously, this has been answered too many times to count in this forum. Please use the search utility before posting such a simple question.
Ok sorry.. but believe me i have searched and read all brightness problems and solutions for lg g pad but all i want to know of its possible to increase more of the brightness thru software optimizations or impossible due to hardware fault.. if i have found an answer i would not ask..
All i read about are brightness as dim is dark nothing more stated and the possible ways of increasing it but nothing answers my query..
Sorry to argue with anyone..

Well, if you read the specs for the G Pad and compare it to, say, the Nexus 7, you'll see that the overall brightness capability of the G Pad is quite a bit lower than the highest level for the Nexus. However, since most of us don't run our tablets at the highest level, this is not an issue for most people most of the time. So, to answer your question, it is basically a hardware limitation, but it's not necessarily a problem. I very rarely have an occasion to turn the brightness level above 70%.

Uk OTA UPDATE

hi guys
I downloaded the update but it wont install as im rooted. Does anyone know what the update was for and what it improves?
Also does anyone known if you can circumvent the root issue or is it a case of unrooting and installing

It's for battery improvement that's about it and yes you have to unroot not really worth it for that there's meant to be a big update soon i would wait

Oh really? Cool. Any source?
The real question is will it block root (the big update). Any update that removes root isn't worth it.

If you haven't updated think twice. here is my experience.
After the update my screen no longer goes to full brightness, the indicators and icons still say 100% however the screen has gone from 255 to 238 brightness at full. I think this is one of the ways they increased battery life
Note Lux and other brightness settings have not corrected the problem permanently.

They have increased battery life by having much better thermal controls i.e. the phone doesn't get as hot, one of the ways to keep the phone cool (and therefore indirectly increasing battery life) is to lower the brightness.
Keeping the phone cool was their main aim here, not to increase battery life.

Regardless of the reason my phone was perfect before this change and I had no heat issues or battery problems all was great, if you want to change options like this having an extra setting in the power menu would have been the way to go in my personal opinion.

MIUI low brightness issue fixed?

As you know, the brightness level on MIUI ROMs is just too low, you have to put the slider a little over 50% to even get a decent brightness (this is with automatic brightness disabled). This issue is not present on custom ROMs such as LOS and AEX..etc so it's definitely not a hardware issue but an issue with MIUI.
Is there a way to fix this? Or are Xiaomi even aware of this huge bug?
Thanks
Never had a problem with the automatic brightness control even outdoors. First time that I hear such a "problem"
There is no such problem here
It is normal that you have to crank up the brightness above 50 %. You set the base brightness with that setting, and from there the automatic will adjust according to your environment.
What is not normal is, that after every reboot MIUI re-sets the brightness to the factory value, which is the case on my RN5 global. Anyways, I solved it by using a developer ROM.
There is no issue here!

Global version. Doesn't matter now as I've been mugged yesterday and lost the phone. It hurts, it was such a great phone and I was enjoying trying customs ROMs and kernels everyday.
Man..

Seeing how Xiaomi makes a new smartphone every 5 minutes, I reckon it will be the Redmi Note 6
Thanks man!

Sorry to her your story, seems someone got a pretty good, brand new phone now. Usually the changes are only mini-steps, or just cosmetics. Have a nudge, slimmer shape, rounded edges or sharp edges, bla bla.
BTW I found the colour rendition towards better blues and greens can be improved by using the RR colour temperature setting. Also new Havoc has a similar setting.

The same problem here. I fixed with Lux Dash app. It's do the bright changes faster the the stock.
I do not notice any battery isuue.
Dear All,
I'm using MI MAX 3. It's such a wonderful phone. But after taking MIUI 10.2 update my screen brightness got stuck on 17%. If you know any solution for this problem please let me know! I'm facing so problem.
Hope to hear from you all soon!
Thanks
