Screen Brightness

Was wondering if anybody has this issue with their phone. I have my brightness setting on 0 and no automatic brightness. When my phone goes to sleep it is at 0 but when I use it again the brightness is back on. I go back to my settings and the notch is all the way to 0. But I move it around and when I adjust it again back down, the actual lighting drops to 0 like its supposed to. This always happens when other awakes. Is that normal? Does it matter what setting it is on if its even a sleep? Also how can I correct this? Its annoying to always bring it back down. Thanks!!

What ROM are you using? Kernel?

Are you going to settings> display> brightness??? Cuz that's the only way i found it sticks to the brightness you set. I was using quick settings to adjust brightness but after looking and unlocking the phone it would always go to around 40% brightness. Tried a bunch of other apps and same thing would happen

I'm using Jugs 5 and switched back to faux 10u after being on backside for a few days.
Elflip that is what I have to do. When I used an app it would adjust ~40% and I would have to move it back. I wish there was an option with these apps to override that because its annoying. Its also annoying to manually adjust brightness at the top of the screen or even in settings.

Yeah it sucks. Using the power savings widget that comes with the rom also works,

Uninstall Juice Defender (Junk useless app!) and turn off HSPA when you don't want it, it drains battery so much!

If your bootloader is unlocked try pac13 or possibly released today or tomorrow the next pac22.1 will be awesome. I'm testing it and it easily lasts 16+ hours of moderate use

You can try reducing brightness, and uninstall apps like juice defender etc. Such apps cause something known as "wakelocks". Just use this guide to find out which apps cause wakelocks - http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1433309

I've been getting decent battery life with Qualcomm's official app for Snapdragon processors:
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.xiam.snapdragon.app
Also adjust screen brightness, when you're in doors around 25% and out doors more. Generally 25% works fine for me everywhere.
Make sure to check your ROMs recommended profiles for the best battery life.

[Q] Samsung Glaxy Note 2 WiFi problem

Hello;
I have a Samsung Galaxy Note 2 running Jelly Bean 4.1.2
Problem:
Sometimes my WiFi turns itself on, i turn it off and stare at the screen couple seconds later it turns itself on without me touching the phone.
When at home and the WiFi is turned off it says "Connected to VirginMedia (my WiFi)" and makes my signal cut out (Internet signal E.G H+).
Its highly annoying, ive tried changing things in the WiFi advanced settings and the mobile data settings and it still continues to do this.
I have done the *#0011# and gone to WiFi and turned power saving move off and no change :\
I havent updated anything recently and its only just occured
Please someone help !

Sounds like you u have the malware that is Sprint Connection Optimizer enabled.

Amigo, "Sprint Connections Optimizer" is a system utility that Sprint jams in to their stock ROMs. You cannot remove it, all you can do is turn it off. I believe via Network Setting somewhere.
The theory behind the utility is that it checks what internet connections are available and picks the quickest one....the reality is that it wastes battery and does a terrible job at optimizing anything,

Oh okay, ive seen videos for the s3 etc its simply untick it but the Note 2 doesn't have that option I cant find it anywhere :/

The battery temp gets around 90°F and the CPU at 120°F!!!
Is this sort of normal for it to be acting like this when constantly downloading? I'm getting a little worried.

Just for the sake of narrowing it down.
•Have you dropped your phone recently?
•How big is the file?
•Are you over/underclocking?
•If you let your phone idle and then check the temp, what is it?
As I type this, I'm at 85°/110°, and my phone is only slightly warm to the touch.

I rarely if ever drop my phone and I drop it either on carpet (that's my floor) never have I dropped it on concrete. Usually it heats up when downloading 300MB+ or playing 3D intense games. My idling is 40°C for the battery and 45°C CPU. Which feels just about normal until I download and use my phone.

Media server battery drain issue

I have searched a few times for a resolution to this problem, but have been unable to find one that works. I have noticed that when the media server shows up under my battery stats screen I usually have an update waiting on play store.
Is there any way play store could be the cause?
In other posts I see people complaining of 10-20% battery consumption. Mine has hit up to ~70% battery consumption.

Turn your data off when you're not using it. But most likely it's an app causing a wakelock.

Turning off data did not help, but the cause you mentioned is probably correct.

Ok this may be a dead question, but something I would like to add. For the past two days I have not seen the media server in my battery stats. This is a shot of what I saw this evening. Which this is what I think my battery page should look like. I have not made any changes that would explain why it's not showing up. Any ideas or comments appreciated.

Not today, not sure about yesterday. This is not the only time it has not shown up for a few days. I also have not had any app updates. I think it's like bilgerryan stated that something is causing a wake lock but I close out apps when I finish. And usually use avg task killer to kill most running tasks.
