Hey that's what makes xda so great is that if I don't know something someone else will or vice versa. I just wish all the epic peeps could get the same phone I do when I upgrade in july! :)
[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gaddy888:
The one problem I've had with the Note 1 is the retina burning brightness, even on the lowest settings. Especially at night, in dark rooms.

Is the Note 2 similar?

Thanks
[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] henrybravo:
This doesn't answer your question, but the free app Screen Filter allows you to lower the brightness below minimum. I use it on my Galaxy S3 when reading at night. Like you, I find the minimum brightness on Samsung screens too bright at times. Just thought I'd mention it.
[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DMax99:
Brighter screen is better isn't it? I mean you can always turn the brightness down...on the other hand, if the screen is not bright enough...you can't really do anything about it can you? !
[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] j89:
It is bright but not overwhelming if you mean that. I like the fact that it makes it easier to see in the sunlight.
[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gaddy888:
That's just the thing. On the Note, you couldn't dial it down too far. In a dark room, it was bright such that without apps like screen filter I couldn't look at the phone. On screen filter is alright, except the display then looks overly blue.

Thank you :)
[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Note_2:
Basically, the screen's lowest setting isn't low enough. I find myself using screenfilter a lot at night in a room with no lights.
[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SAlmighty:
my display way too bright, when lowering the brightness to the minimum, its still relatively bright enough. some note 2 displays I've seen had a different brightness than mine even though both levels were same for both phones. its an amoled thing.

Are u worry about screen burning issue? my note 1 got it after 6 month usage..note 2 I'm not sure, hav to wait another 3 month to see the effect, since i just got it 3 month ago...

You can always try different screen modes in settings -> display
[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Akiainavas:
I dont think that those screens are too bright, but rather becausr theyre too big. Even on the lowest setting, there is so much light generated by such a big screen that this might be it. Screen filter app may help.
[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ddeath:
Note 2 minimum brightness is definitely dimmer than Note 1, since I came from Note 1. So it is not bright at minimum setting IMO.

Used that app, works great, so thanks for the suggestion man. Especially at night, I am pretty sure it is saving me some juice. What I am wondering is, is there an app which does the complete opposite of this? As in, one which allows you to increase the brightness more than the maximum level for n7100? Tried searching for one on the playstore but didn't find one :(

The thing is, I am in India, and when it's sunny here, its really, really sunny. Not complaining, but it makes reading your messages all that difficult while out.

If your phone is rooted, then download and install rom toolbox and open the build.prop editor. Change the minimum brightness level to whatever you desire. By default it's set to 20percent.

You could just manually edit the build.prop with a text editor and change the ro.lcd_min_brightness=20 line to something lower. More info on build.prop editing here: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2056364.

[Asus Transformer TF700] I_EAT_BABIES:
Hey all,

Any ideas why ROM Toolbox Pro's CPU Control center would not be working on this device? I am running ASUS stock JB ROM, unlocked and rooted with NvFlash access. I have never seen this issue before, even on my TF101. See attached screenshot for what I am talking about.

View attachment 1408051

Not only do the sliders and Governor return to this state after setting and returning (attempting to set the max to 1700 [I know there's not much of a purpose, but you will see why in a second] and the Governor to performance), the max GHz seems to be maxed out at 1500 which is very odd.

I tried looking for a kernel that supported overclocking but didn't find any, anyone know if I am just flat out missing something?

Sent from my unlocked Transformer Infinity
[Asus Transformer TF700] buhohitr:
I have tried a few CPU control apps and most of them are not working too well with JB on tf700. The only one I found that works is SetCPU, it recorded my max/ min and governor perfectly. (1700max and 50min), both settings are working well. Currently, there is no kernel that supported Over clocking.

hello,

Sorry but not allowed to post in the i9100G sub section yet due to restriction. My friend did the following resulting in soft brick... :silly:

i9100G - indian variant

ics - 4.0.3

rooted with method 2 posted ----------> http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1679778

it does not installs cwm manager like in cf-root method

downloaded app - rom toolbox pro - for backup

installed new font using the same app - rebooted as asked..

stuck on S2 logo

able to go into download and recovery mode - good sign :highfive:

I read somewhere that I need to flash stock rom using odin and then root again properly using cf-root menthod but since i dont know the correct firmware of his phone, dont know which one to use for flashing.. he dosent remembers it either..:mad:

dont know its xxlph or what....

so should i just flash new ics 4.0.4 firmware (any firmware) via odin and then follow the nube friendly cf root method ? is not knowing firmware version will have an impact even if i am installing a completely different new version ?

thanks for the time and consideration... much appreciated...

thanks
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] HAXTREME:
Any firmware is fine as long as its for the G variant. DO NOT install firmware meant for the i9100/P/M/T etc coz that will brick the device. The only way in which different firmwares for a device vary is by the modem. Which can always be changed at a later stage.

Bottomline, as long as its a G variant firmware, you can use it. Only preferable to stick to 4.0.3 rather than 4.0.4

Download the firmware from sammobile.com

Good luck :)

[Android Themes] blumenthala:
So, for the most part I have been a silent fan of everything Android. From rooting, to unlocking, to installing rom after rom trying to decide which one I like the most, to trying just about every ADW and Go Launcher theme out there (that was free of charge), to trying just about every system theme out there (again, free of charge).

I think I have finally designed a dock background that I can proudly post on XDA and display on my phone. I am open to color requests and suggestions, but please realize that I am not a developer or programmer or coder and some requests or suggestions may not be honored. For this reason, I have also included the PSD so you can do your own. Also, the dimensions are for my phone so they are 540 x 76 so they will not fit all phones.

Ive owned both the S2 and one S, I sold my s2 and bought a one S and quickly went back to my S2.

Stock for stock, the One S is better

Root and flash a custom ROM on ur S2 and you will be lightyears ahead...

The ONE S had good battery life, better than the stock S2, and sense 4.0 was cool.. it also had ICS on it..

Smooth slick, sexy phone, its really nice and it is a upgrade if you are talking stock vs stock

I wouldnt sell my S2 again for it since i customized mine, but if you are looking for easy stock phone, then the ONE s is a good choice. It has a great camera, ZERO lag, and was very fast. Excellent voice quality. Felt very premium..

thats my input.. goodluck Either way its a good phone.

Bit of a odd request here, but I figured I'd ask and see what I could come up with. I'm required to write a paper on 4G versus 3G speeds, prices, etc, etc...however I have a problem. I don't actually have a 4G phone, and thus can not run the tests myself. If people would be interested in helping a guy out, I would appreciate the following statistics.

1. Speedtest Screenshots 3G/4G

2. Timed downloads for a identical APK from the PlayStore on both 3G and 4G. (I don't care which just so long as it is download both times and uninstall between the to obviously.

3. A timed download for a external file outside of the play store on both 4G and 3G.

[Asus Transformer TF700] degenerazn:
So I have exactly 1 day left to decide what to do with this thing. So far I can't say I am entirely pleased with the performance. I use this tablet mostly to read PDF files and ebooks and it can be unbearably slow and sluggish. Simple web surfing with chrome or default browsing can be a horrid experience. Certain apps are really a hit or miss. I use EzPDF reader a lot and it can take up to 10 seconds to load each page, and I'm not that patient.

Tomorrow marks my 30 day return window and I am really tempted to just send this thing back and wait for a reliable 10in android tablet that just works. I'm reading that a lot have similar experiences but some don't seem to have any lag at all. Is it possible I just got a bad unit? Should I try to exchange for a new unit and hope that it'll be better? Or just return it and wait for something better in the future?
[Asus Transformer TF700] buhohitr:

I think you should keep it for the following reasons:

1. It has the best specs out there for tablet (screen, cpu, camera, SD card slots (2), USB, HDMI, keyboard, battery life (2) batteries, high pixel front and rear camera).

2. Sluggish issue can be temporary fixed by factory reset then re-flash your stock rom, root and browse2ram (I'm very happy with performance

after done all that. Second option is using custom rom (should be super happy with this)

3. Give Asus some time to release software that address all these issues. (my old droid charge was a piece of sh** for 1 year and finally it flies with stock rom released by Samsung

Just my opinion! I hated at first but the longer I keep it, the more I like it and I think I made a right decision. I had help some people who would like to throw this thing against the wall, but once they used custom rom (Cleanrom), they love it.
[Asus Transformer TF700] Unibrow:
I would return it, if it's frustrating to use then there is no point in keeping it. You could chance it and load up some custom roms but those will only act as a bandaid for what amounts to crummy hardware. Asus, for whatever reason, decided to cheap out on the internal nand memory of their flag ship Android tablet and we all pay the price for it unfortunately.

I just unlocked my tablet the other day and loaded up cleanrom 2.0, it loads things better for the most part. Internet browsing with the default browser is very responsive, no more needing browser2ram, and Google currents feels nice to use. Things though like Google + still operate the same as does looking at power point presentations in Office Suite, which is to say choppy.

If you do decide to keep it, grab a squaretrade warranty and unlock it otherwise I'd suggest returning it. At this point, despite how much I love the screen on this, I would have settled for a cheap plastic exterior and lower res screen for a tablet that works the way you woud expect it to
[Asus Transformer TF700] MartyHulskemper:
I do not mean to come off rude, but you are displeased. You have mentioned no postiive points AT ALl -- easy advice: return it, and maybe look for another device. It won't get that much better -- objectively a bit, but you will be annoyed during the entire period you have it.

Really, do yourself a favor and return it.

---------- Post added at 01:36 PM ---------- Previous post was at 01:31 PM ----------

The best specs don't mean s*** if yo uget annoyed by even the best specs. To make matters worse, it's not like the TF700 is displaying top-of-the-line performance, is it? Listening to OP, (s)he doesn't need all of these features (again, no positives were mentioned at all), so I'd stick to returning it.

You speak of temporary fixes, which to many, if not most, of us is unsatisfactory. You can cold-boot your device 18 times a day, but that doesn't make it any more user friendly, does it? Again, trying to judge from the OP point of view, return it.

So your answer would be wait a year to *possibly* have it fixed? I'll take the wait, but the OP is anoyed already and has only today to make the decision. Again, return it.

You can always buy one again when you decide to, even if after trying several other devices in the meantime. It's a lot of money, and a stomach ulcer ain't that much fun either.
[Asus Transformer TF700] zenaxe:
If it is not satisfactory, and you think it is broken return it for the same device.

If it is not satisfactory, and you think it is just that the device does not meet your standards, exchange it for a different device.

If it is satisfactory and you could see yourself using it until it's obsolete/replaced, keep it.

That's what return policies are for.

TBH, based on your description, I would exchange for a different device, either the Note 10.1 or an iPad.
