I did not understand well. Your problem is that Startup wizard is not showing after flashing firmware with Odin, you go directly to desktop screen? Do you have your google account set after that? Language is set to yours or it is default?
[Galaxy S Advance I9070 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] zamurai x:
so is! not run the setup wizard because it starts on the desktop and will not let me configure the network or account nor language. as said mate will try changing the driver?

Probably settings are left from your previous ROM. Do Factory reset from recovery.

try doing the following: use a backup of the original firmware from deodexado and then did factory reset but it is the same! I really do not know what else to try. it is not something that makes the equipment malfunction

Alright so I just got my Note 3 here in Canada (SM-N900W8) and whenever I download an app from the Play store, or do anything I would normally do on a S4 or HTC One, the phone lowers the screen brightness (usually keep it on full brightness). When I go into Settings > Display > Brightness, it says something along the lines of to ensure your phone doesn't over heat, your phone's brightness has been lowered. Now, I've noticed this happen a handful of times, and I'm wondering if anyone else is having this problem?
[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SgtGoldy:
I don't think the phone should be doing that over simple task like downloading apps. Might want to take it back asap and exchange for a new one.

Yes, mine is doing the same exact thing. When it first started happening, I thought there was something wrong with this particular phone but then I saw that same message. It's annoying have the screen change brightness like that. :(

I notice when browsing web page it does it too.. can anyone else confirm? Test by turning your brightness all the way, then download a few apps and browse the web. Let me know.

same experience

Hi! Very new at this forum. Just searched the net because of the same problem. The screen keeps dimming even if im using it. I thought it was a problem so I had my unit replaced. I have a new one now but it still does the same thing. It still dims randomly. Now I dont know if I should have another replacement or if this is normal.
[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] c-mack:
I think the dimming may be caused by settings>device>display>auto adjust screen tones. And/or screen mode check anything but adapt mode. .. That solved it for me.

I haven't got the Note 3 yet partly because of this. When I compared my Note 2 to the Note 3 in the At&t store I noticed the Note 3 was definitely not as bright, while being obviously bluer. But I also caught it dimming itself too, very quickly but couldn't get it to reproduce the behavior. Changing the display mode didn't affect any of this. I've wanted to see this amazing improved display everyone talks about but I haven't seen it yet - certainly not when the brightness is set manually.

I wonder if this dimming display thing is a new normal, that they've made the brightness more an automatic control now. I have no idea if this is to save battery (but then why not let the user choose) or if these new screens need to be protected more from overheating.

I have absolutely everything turned off!! It is stupid and annoying and i am returning my phone because of it

BTW this is my second device in 4 days!
[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TML1504:
I'm on my third... ;) and posted already in your thread! for me this throttling happens all the time, gallery indexing for example triggers it a lot!

to clarify:

this throttling has nothing to do with settings a user can adjust, it's logic must be kernel implemented! no auto-contrast setting would help! and it happens even when you are on manual lowest brightness. on my devices the screen would switch even then in a cycle of ca. 20s between a additionally dimmed and the set state...
[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Keepingitrealz:
Wow, third. If i replace mine today i will be in the same boat. I am not to sure what to do!!

Do you think that this can be fixed?
[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TML1504:
I'm almost sure this can be "fixed" in custom kernels! The intention behind this throttling is not bad, but it's not well implemented...
[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Dumbo53:
Interesting. I would appreciate a longer, fuller description of the dimming that is occurring, including the triggers for it that you've noticed!

Meanwhile I went back to At&t and again compared my Note 2 to their Note 3, and this time the comparison went the other way (Note 3 way brighter, not bluer but rather more neutral - in short beautiful). Wtf!?

I queried the staff as to whether it had been replaced or what, as the screen was like from night to day. The only thing they could come up with was that the battery might not have been charging, as they've had problems with the cables and charging systems etc. My recollection in fact was that the battery was run down when I saw the "bad" display.

So my current theory is that if the display is not getting the right current it looks like crap, if it does it looks great. The dimming might be related to this but I'd like to know more. Could those who had to return their Note 3s have had power supply problems or bad batteries?

[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TML1504:
see here as well:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2463786

the throttling occurs as i stated under all circumstances when the CPU load is high. there seems to be a initial threshold (which may indicate the reason is thermal), but after a few seconds of load it starts, and then the throttling turns on and off about every 15s!

i have have this on all 3 9005 I had so far, although with one device it was very bad, the throttling kicked in almost immediately at high load. also worth to mention is that this happens regardless of your settings, it doesnt help to turn auto contrast off and set brightness manually to minimum. even there it switches back and forth...
[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Keepingitrealz:
So refunded my Note today, this issue with the screen pissed me off to much to ignore

Hopefully someone will release a fix and then I will buy it again
[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Keepingitrealz:
I cannot believe that no one else is having this issue!

Doesn't it bother you that the screen changes the brightness level???
[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Dumbo53:
Thanks! It makes me wonder about the cpu. If it is generating so much heat that it needs to dim the screen to save the phone (no doubt an engineering decision), that tells me it has effectively been way overclocked by the manufacturer in order to win the specs race.

This suggests 2 other things to try or verify:

1. Are we seeing this dimming with both chips (snapdragon & exynos)?

2. Can anyone try installing a custom kernel and try UNDERclocking it in stages (while testing it under load) to see if it eliminates the dimming at some point?

I know underclocking will cause a lot of people to want to throw their phones at the wall when they've bought them to have the best performance and specs. Anyway it seems to me trying it will tell us something about what's causing the dimming and hopefully could give a workaround for some when performance isn't an issue.

I think there's is a dial code for disabled thermal throttling. The LG optimus g pro with snapdragon 600 is OK with that solution.
[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] galarond:
i think all galaxy note 3 have this issue cause is intentional for samsung cause the display makes the phone very hot very soon, tried with n900 and n9005 both had the same issue, and tried all combinations of screen mode and stuff, still that crappy behavior, im even using omega rom in my 9005 and still the damn issue is there so i think, like it was stated already, its a kernel issue and intentional made for preventing overheating isues.

also noticed that bluetooth makes the phone extremely hot, more than other phones.
[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nakedtime:
Stop calling this a "problem". Thermal throttling is a "solution" that prolongs hardware's life.

To the people who care: edit the triggers which cause thermal throttling.

To everyone else: be happy your incredibly high powered phone isn't cooking itself without you forcing it to.
[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Keepingitrealz:
But I want to view my screen in all its glory, not to keep watching it dim every 20 seconds. It's annoying as ****

[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TML1504:
what i feel as special nonsense in this case is that the thermal brightness throttling kicks in even at lowest

brightness levels! this helps almost nothing in regard to reduce heat and/or energy consumption... so the

idea is maybe good/necessary, but the implementation is bad!

another info:

with the nexus 7 (2013) and franco kernel you can set the temperature threshold were the throttling starts.

if this is possible on a snapdragon 600 this should be also possible on 800!

so again, a future custom kernel should be able to address this! maybe the thermal cpu-frequency throttling is

still necessary, but maybe we could turn off the screen brightness throttling (at least at low brightness levels)!

I have the T-Mobile SM-N900T. I haven't experienced the issue described here but what I have seen is that when the display dims a few seconds before going off, at full brightness or even mid brightness, if I touch the display so it won't turn off it doesn't go all the way back to its previous brightness setting, it stays dimmed like it's about to go off. Then I have to use the brightness slider in order to restore it to its previous setting. No auto settings on. This happens a lot lately. Anyone else noticed this? Or should I get my unit replaced?

That is not true, you do NOT need to root the device or modify it in any way to get LTE to work simply plug in an LTE sim once the device is unlocked and it will pick up the network.

[Galaxy Camera Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Digital DJ:
I had that problem as well. I think it's a setting thing. When you leave it on auto pic, the camera is trying to use the "best mode" to shoot that particular picture.
