In the note 2 display setting there is an option to turn on or off 'auto adjust screen tone'. the phone comes by default with the option turned on. The only difference i have noticed with it off is the increased brightness..I have a few Questions.
1) Does anyone knw what other effects it has on the phone?
2) Is it better to leave it on or off?
3) Does it in anyway affect the performance of the phone ie how images are displayed or the color profile...
i have looked all around the net and have not been able to determine what purpose and effects of this option are
I honestly couldn't notice any difference with it on or off.

Screen Brightness: I have set the screen brightness to medium and and timeout to 60 seconds. I have started to notice that it will change the settings on its own. I will notice the screen is dim then look at the brightness setting and it will be set to minimum. Another thing that is driving me crazy is that it will dim the screen if you don't touch it regardless of the screen time out.
I have also noticed that sometimes when typing the screen does not follow were the words are going.
Other than these two minor pet peeves I absolutely love this phone. If it had a vag it may replace my wife.
The screen dimming is probably done by u. If u run your hand back and forth at the bottom of the notification bar it will change your brightness. Auto brightness has to be off. Its a cool feature that the original epic had.

u might want to disable the "power saving mode"... i had the same issue as u, but it seems to be fine since i disabled power saving mode
That's the thing I have my settings to auto brightness off
Edit: I will try turning the power saving mode off
Did not know that about the notification bar dimming the screen that's a cool feature.

Thanks I bet the notification bar might be it. That is awesome, I can't believe I didn't know that yet.
IF your in the internet browser that came with the phone and you turn up your brightness all the way and then you notice while your look at page all of a sudden your brightness will go back down to like 10% I found out the culprit.
the browser has a BROWSER BRIGHTNESS option in the menu. you can turn auto on or theres another slider there and it appears factory setting is all the way left or lowest.
this was pissing me off today while I was waking in the sun, I thought I had my brightness on all the way but with in 5 seconds while look here on XDA, the brightness kept going back down on its own and I do not have auto on. the thing I was doing to get it back up bright again was to do the notification swipe to the right and that would only temporary fix it.
Does anyone know why when I turn off auto brightness, my screen gets so much brighter? Even if I have brightness set as low as it can go, it still seems alot brighter than it should be. Which must kill the battery.

If you'd like to compare battery life between the two theres apps for it
But as its been said, better for the battery to have the light a little brighter than constantly be changing.
If you're rooted, Rootdim (search the Market, I can't post links yet) allows you to power down the backlight below the lowest option in Display Settings. It's nice for using the phone in the dark or with a bedside lamp and should minimise battery use if you've got auto-brightness turned off as well.
The only worry is the reviewer on the Market who said its lock option kept the backlight on (at a dim setting) after shutting the screen off on his Droid Bionic but I can't say I've noticed that on my Play.
Thanks, that Rootdim is what I needed.
I tried setting it to MAX, who in the hell needs it that high?! I didn't even know it could go that high, make it a white screen and you've got a flashlight!
So, I'm coming from an AT&T HTC One XL and I have a handful of questions. The screen and the camera on the HOXL were borderline perfection in my opinion, but the phone had a few flaws led me to an SIII.
1) The auto brightness on the SIII is laughable. The HTC One X was seamless and smooth with its auto brightness adjustment, and I never once turned auto brightness off. I have had the SIII for a day and I cannot stand it. Are there any solutions out there for the jerkiness and delay of the SIII's auto brightness function? If not, what do most of you keep your brightness at? Right now, I'm finding ~70% to be fair. Anything below that is a sacrifice and I don't do sacrifices for battery life.
2) Pentile.... I cannot stop noticing the pentile. Granted, I am coming from perfection in terms of screen quality I was hoping it wouldn't be this noticeable. To exacerbate the issue, I use my phone an awful lot as an e-reader. My eyes were playing games with me while using the Kindle App last night (same settings as One X). I kept blinking as I thought it was a result of my eyes, but it was the screen. The font simply does not have smooth, sharp edges. Will my eyes get used to this or is this going to be a constant battle?
3) I recall a setting on my GS2 where I could sync up phone call ringtone volume and notification volume when I adjusted the volume on the side of the phone. I did not find this setting on the SIII. Does one exist? I
4) One the One X, when I had headphones in, notifications and phone calls would be pumped through the headphones instead of the loudspeaker. Is there a setting I can enable where ringtone and notification tone flow through headphones when attached?
Thanks!

1- I personally use a modded auto brightness but you can probably find a app that will do a better job at it than stock firmware. I believe there are some in here as well (in the app section of XDA).
2- Never had a android that didn't have a SAMOLED screen so I don't know what difference you're talking about. Although, I use my phone quite a lot as well and my eyes don't get tired. Keep in mind that screen brightness too high = damages your eyes, too low = hard on your eyes.
3- Settings -> Sound -> Volumes -> check link volume.
4- That should be on by default. If it's not, there's either a app that changed it or you did yourself.
Btw, what firmware are you running?

Thanks for the reply!
3 - Don't see this setting...
4 - Ya know what, maybe I did. The only setting I changed was unchecking "connecting earphones will enable audio applications in quick panel" in the Accessory menu as I didn't like all the apps being displayed in the notification area. I wouldn't think those are related though...
EDIT: I'm on stock ATT 4.1.1
EDIT 2: Just tried checking the box I unchecked for the audio applications and notifications still play through loudspeaker..
My Xperia ZL keeps dimming its screen automatically every time when the phone gets warm, it's very annoying since it happens on my previous Xperia S as well, I can't find "Auto Adjust Screen Tone" setting or check box in display settings.
How can or can I disable the Auto Adjust Screen Tone on my ZL?
As far I'm aware, It's in the Display>Brightness setting, and turn off "Adapt to lightning conditions".

There should be two different settings on android, Adapt to lightning conditions n Auto adjust screen tone.

There are two factors that automatically adjust screen brightness.
First is based on ambient light. It will set backlight brighter if you are in brighter place, and dim it if you move to dark. It could be controlled or even disabled in "display" settings menu.
Second one is "dynamic contrast". It sets brightness of backlight based on currently displayed image. For example "dull", low contrast image will have backlight reduced to save power, while image with more contrast will have brighter backlight. This can't be switched off or controlled by any apps, from what I know even custom ROMs still have it on, probably it's hardware-controlled.
I've seen this nice mode (on video reviews, probably all non-verizon models) of being able to adjust the relative auto-brightness levels in the notification bar area. The idea is that you can tweak up or down the brightness, brightness still adjusts automatically, but to a lower (or higher) level based on how you've set it.
Obviously missing now, but why? Anyone else notice this? Wonder if there's a hidden setting somewhere to enable this functionality.
I've noticed that in my pitch black room the auto-brightness only drops to like 25% brightness which is insanely aggravating. I can manually turn it down MUCH lower which is how low it should go by default. Hopefully finding a way to do what you're talking about can fix my issue also.
Ya I noticed auto is way too high in complete darkness. Can only go to manual to get brightness down to a comfortable level. From what I've seen the auto brightness tweaks would probably help in this scenario.

The International phones are the ones that have that auto brightness setting. The only other way that I know of is to use the wanam xposed module
I hope the retail version will get root soon, I'm sooo frustrated right now. Smh!
