Hi.
Is there a way to increase brightness of my screen pass 100%?
Ive been searching for apps on the store but nothing.
I can't see anything when I'm outside (san diego) and it's kinda annoying.
Thanks

Nothing?

Nah man.
In the instances where something like that is possible is because of inaccurate maximum brightness levels from the manufacturer in regard to the hardwares highest brightness output and it's realtion to software coded brightness level values
(for battery savings)
which is " unlocked " to allow brighter than usual levels which is still the devices 100% level.
None of this applies to the EVO because 100% brightness is already 100% brightness and not 85%
LCD is a non-emissive display technology. The backlight produces all the light you can have, each pixel's behavior is controlled by filters in front of the backlight that can only reduce the final light output from this initial maximum.
(By comparison, OLED is an emissive technology. Drive the pixel harder, more light comes out.)
So the control you are looking for is the one that controls the backlight.
If you can find a way to make it go brighter than its nominal "100%" brightness level, go for it.
This sounds like a hardware level hack.
Note that perceived brightness does not increase linearly with increased power supplied to the backlight. At the top end of the range, a 10% increase in apparent brightness could cost much, much more than a 10% increase in battery consumption. Do you really want this?

Damn that's true about the battery.i dont really need it all the time just sometimes its pisses me off that i have to ignore notifications cus i cant see ha

Possible? Since screen is the main source of the battery drain?

Screen filter app in the market but dont set it to low
Why shouldn't you set it too low?
Can it cause damage? If so, what kind?

No you wont be able to see anything at all.

+1 this is a great App using the phone at night
That doesn't actually uv the screen though just so everyone is clear. The app is putting a filter on the screen not reducing brightness which if it was working they way you claimed it would have higher scores in quadrant. Test with your normal brightness setting first you will see that with brightness turned down you get higher scores but with this app it actually makes the scores go down which implies its actually using more voltage that takes away from the processor which is why the lower scores. So and which more voltage is not gonna help with battery life as the op was asking for.
Yea that app is funky i was wondering it could be uv like cpu is

No not that i know of lol you can only adjust brightness which will save battery also black helps conserve battery also so i would suggest you set a dark wallpaper and flash a dark theme
Screen Filter is cool but I notice if its lower than 54% on our phones, it gets annoying to look at. It does help with battery life when you're indoors, the second you take it outside you have to pop that thing right off. Helps to have a widget on the home screen.
Is there a standalone app or modification that can force maximum brightness like juice defenter ultimate?

Just turn your brightness to max under display settings. You also be able to use the app you mentioned, but I'm not sure as I don't use it.

Just beware -- it *is* possible to burn in an OLED screen... I left mine on at max brightness overnight on the charger (as a nightlite/clock, using a "stay awake on charger" app) for several nights, and now there are definitely "burnt in" pixels that show up as dimmer/brownish (particularly w/ a uniform blue background) where there were white bits on the screen (e.g. status bar/drawer icons, digital clock digits in white). From what I've been able to tell in my reading, the organic compounds in the OLED display can (and do) break down over time; the compounds that make blue break down fastest. The max brightness, on-for-hours with static white pixels greatly accelerated this on my phone... I doubt it would occur under normal use.
Ok so the Note's got Dynamic, Standard, Natural & Movie screen modes (in order of saturation).
Would a more saturated Screen Mode chew up more battery, because you'd think the OLED would require more power to produce a more vivid/saturated image.
I haven't seen it mentioned/discussed anywhere...It might be worth testing out, although I don't know how much of a difference it would really make...
P.s. I'm not talking about the brightness or backlight at all. We all know that makes a BIG difference.
Saturation of colors should NOT make a big difference. (provided overall brightness is the same)
Let me explain with an example :
Red on full saturation only uses the red leds (at full brightness)
While red on 0 saturation uses all 3 colors at much less brightness

I actually kinda put the same question nobody replied to me aha
It was in Q&A section, I thought I put it in the right place... but If its answered here its fine ^
Didn't know that about the screen. Which mode are you guys using? I always have stuck with dynamic.
TBH from 60% to 100% brightness i see NO noticable diffrence in battery life, on LCD and TFT screens brightness does vary the battery life a lot, but on the note 2 it barely shows any difference especially if most your usage involves dark/black backgrounds
Hi,
I really like using auto, because I have to go outside during the day while working.
But, brightness level is very high in my opinion, I think I could handle lower levels.
So that is my question, how can I do to lower brightness level using auto-brightness?
Best regards.
Thanks.
Can I get a bump
Auto is too dim for me so i set it around 79%. Higher brightness hurts my eyes but maybe I just need to get used to it?

I turned off auto and set the brightness to 100%. I love a bright screen. So far 17 hours on battery, 2 hours screen time, and still at 50%. Good enough for me.
I need better

Turn off the lights.
I keep it always on 100%. Only when I need to save the battery I lower it.
Would love to get more input.
I simply use auto brightness. Bright screens look better but they strain my eyes too much.
I keep it at 50% and thats super bright for me... Keeping it 100 sounds insane

Apparently I'm in the minority so far. I hate screens that are too bright for the setting they're in. I keep mine at absolute minimum (0%?) unless an increase in ambient light makes it hard to see. Then I increase it as little as possible until it's at similar visibility as it was before the ambient light increase.
i keep mine at 50% also, i could see doing 60% if i really needed it but anything over that would be overkill IMO.
I use auto
auto 100%
I use Lux app. Check the PlayStore and see if it might work for you.
You guys no you can adjust the contrast.

80% most of the time. I adjust when/if I need to.
Usually <50% indoors and >70% outdoors. The best way to make it learn what you like is to use LUX app.
