You can customize what brightness levels your screen automatically sets for a given ambient light level (for example by default my screen is too bright at night or too dim during the day). But there are a lot more features than that there's a "Night Mode" which will adjust your screen color temperature to a warmer color temp at night (studies have shown exposure to blue light at night can mess with your circadian rhythm and ruin your sleep. There's also an "Astronomer mode" that puts a red overlay on your screen to preserve your night vision.
[G3 Themes and Apps] lexluthor:
It also allows you to go lower than the lowest stock brightness (might require root?). I've found on many phones that the lowest brightness is still way too bright for certain environments.
[G3 Themes and Apps] Lennyuk:
Here are my current settings, it's going to take a while before I have then perfected but this is a start.
[G3 Themes and Apps] theraker007:
Sadly, quickcircle case breaks lux because it thinks its pitch black out.
[G3 Themes and Apps] Lennyuk:
It won't break it? It will just mean that it won't adjust brightness properly when you are using the QuickCircle mode, it should start to work the second you open the case.
[G3 Themes and Apps] theraker007:
Its pretty broken.. Quickcircle becomes 100% useless and when you open the case it takes a second or two for brightness to adapt. its annoying and unnecessary. Not worth having the app if you have the case.
[G3 Themes and Apps] Lennyuk:
You can adjust the time that it responds to change, by default its set pretty high, I have lowered mine right down - its in the "brightness" setting.
[G3 Themes and Apps] inzimam:
Does this app impact battery life much?

Any bugs as reviews on Play store aren't great
[G3 Themes and Apps] jaythenut:
just got paid version very nice app thanks:D
[G3 Themes and Apps] Seifer1975:
I bought this app but have since uninstalled it cause I find that the stock auto brightness does a pretty good job.
[G3 Themes and Apps] Rudolpht:
G3 quick circle

The broke part is not the time to live again, it is the simple fact that the clock or whatever widget is in the circle is black. To be specific the circle information needs to be on/displayed when the case is closed. I have had paid Lux across 3 phones and love it. Smart Window on Oppo works fine with Lux. Hope it can be fixed on G3.
[G3 Themes and Apps] Lennyuk:
I now have the case and see the issue, a workaround is to quickly open the case and close it again brightening it up.

I cannot see how it can be fixed though, the issue is the light sensor is being covered so it's keeping the display dark.

I suppose via a special setting we could set a default value for 0 lux?

Edit: I just emailed the Dev to see if there is anything he can do to help us.
[G3 Themes and Apps] sprhwk:
Is the navigation bar darkening too? Mine stays bright :/
[G3 Themes and Apps] Lennyuk:
the navigation bar cannot do sub 0 brightness it seems.
[G3 Themes and Apps] daleski75:
Bit OT did you get the snap on or replacement back cover for the quick circle case?
[G3 Themes and Apps] Lennyuk:
Snap-on as the other has not made it to the UK yet.

I did a review on Landofdroid.com for it yesterday if your interested.
[G3 Themes and Apps] danny_and_2:
[MENTION=2315688]Lennyuk[/MENTION] have you fine tuned the lux settings yet? :)
[G3 Themes and Apps] Lennyuk:
well, yes and no - after spending a lot of time tuning it I actually realised it works better when you input less into the profile. so I have only linked a few values now and it appears to be working perfectly for me, if I remember I will attach a screenshot later.
[G3 Themes and Apps] Planet X:
I use it since years on all Roms when I don't use a cm rom. I just use auto and not day and put 0 to 20. That's just fine inside and outside.
[G3 Themes and Apps] ehmjay:
hi guys i just installed lux last night so im new to this. just wanna ask why my screen turns red after making a call? how can i disable that behaviour?
[G3 Themes and Apps] Lennyuk:
Red is Astronomer mode, you must be accidentally turning that mode on.
[G3 Themes and Apps] ehmjay:
i have no idea how to turn that on... "noobalert"! haha

found it, yes it was on so now i turned it off :)

any optimal settings you could share to save battery life :)
[G3 Themes and Apps] Lennyuk:
BTW, I received an email from the dev who said he is working on a way for us to be able to use QuickCircle without screen going really dim.

No ETA, or even if it will happen, but at least its being considered.
[G3 Themes and Apps] FirelordAzula:
With CF.Lumen integration enabled (requires root), Lux can change the actual values of your screen instead of just drawing over the whole screen (hence why the navbar doesn't get modified without using CF.Lumen integration, can't draw over it).

Be forewarned though, Lux's night mode doesn't play nice with the G3's screen over-sharpening; white-on-black and black-on-white text will look terrible.
[G3 Themes and Apps] Nasty64:
I went in the bright sunlight yesterday and couldn't see my screen at all. Lux never seemed to respond and brighten the screen. Had it set on "periodic" then later changed it to "on wake". Not sure what happened, but literally couldn't see my phone at all and had to cover it with a hat and fumble around until I could find the slider to move it to 100%. Any ideas on what happened?
[G3 Themes and Apps] inzimam:
I can't get the settings right and a lot of the time Lux doesn't adjust the screen until I open thr widget
[G3 Themes and Apps] Lennyuk:
If your finding lux unresponsive it's because your phone is running too many background apps and is killing lux.
[G3 Themes and Apps] tstretch:
We should be able to add the QuickCircle lockscreen app, to the Sleep List in Lux. This should fix the issue right? Problem is knowing what that app is called. I'm not able to see any that might be it.

Anyone else know?
[G3 Themes and Apps] Lennyuk:
That is the mystery, I think it's linked to the lock screen apps.
[G3 Themes and Apps] corrsea:
You need to set it to dynamic.
[G3 Themes and Apps] :
Would you mind posting the profile(s) you use right now? I only started using Lux recently with the G3 and it's still extremely bright at times
[G3 Themes and Apps] Mistertac:
Here's my profile I've been using for some time now on my G3. See if you like it.. If nothing else you can tweak it to your liking. Put this file into your /Sdcard/Lux folder then just restore it using Lux.

https://www.dropbox.com/s/wbfsb3761amxpev/lux_profiles.lux?dl=0

Also I don't use the Dynamically setting, I use Periodically. I find Dynamically is just adjusting way too much. Just how I do it though, maybe you're different.

- Tapatalked from the G3
[G3 Themes and Apps] :
Thanks, I'll try it out! :)

yeah I agree that dynamical adjusts too much, but I feel like Periodical doesn't do it enough, and I can't get a good balance between the two yet haha, but I'll try it out and see. Again thanks :)
[G3 Themes and Apps] Mistertac:
Do you have Lux Persistent Notification on in your Status Bar?

If not do that and see if Periodically works better for you. I believe that keeps Lux in system memory and doesn't allow other apps/Android to kill it, thus making the Periodically setting work correctly.

- Tapatalked from the G3
[G3 Themes and Apps] tstretch:
Actually I think I have solved the issue with LUX and the QuickCircle case causing very low brightness levels..

I have added the below apps to the Lux Sleep List .. I'm not sure which app has fixed this, but Im wondering if its the 3rd party app QuickApps that is allowing this to work. Download that app if you have a QuickCircle case and haven't btw - its amazing!!!!

Apps added in Sleep List:

com.androis.keyguard

Puppy Pop

Quick Apps​

Please someone report back and let me know if this has fixed the issue for you too!

---------- Post added at 03:38 PM ---------- Previous post was at 03:34 PM ----------

Think I figured out a fix for this. See my post above..
[G3 Themes and Apps] RedDevils88:
Hi i can't seem to find com.androis.keyguard on the sleep list?
[G3 Themes and Apps] sshark:
I have LG g2 and u an fairly satisfied with the stock brightness levels. Can anyone share value app like Lux would bring?

Is there anything in it for battery savings ?
[G3 Themes and Apps] Mistertac:
It let's you create your very own brightness curve so that it's tailered to your specific needs throughout the day.

For example stock Auto Brightness may set your screen at 80% when really 70 or 75 would have been just fine... Thus saving you battery.

Lux gives you total control over your screen brightness. There are even more options and modes to select from too. Try it .

- Tapatalked from the G3
[G3 Themes and Apps] co.ag.2005:
also, for me, the LG G3 is always too dim (on auto-brightness). Lux (with the settings in the OP as well as fine tuned by me) allows the brightness to be where I like it and with what I'm used to.

slightly OT: anyone know how to remove the notification without making the app get killed by Android? I'm rooted so I figured there would be a way to have Lux persist with root instead of that notification in the status bar. TIA
[G3 Themes and Apps] Rudolpht:
Thank you so much. This has been very helpful and made setup very easy.
[G3 Themes and Apps] lexluthor:
Did you try adjusting the slider? Even if auto mode, the slider does make a different. Is Auto w/slider at 100% still too dim for you?
[G3 Themes and Apps] co.ag.2005:
I have, but does it keep that setting? (i.e, if I go above auto, does it stay above auto the whole time under different lighting scenarios?). I haven't given that much of a chance because lux was a good fix, but i'd love to not have to use a 3rd party app if I can avoid it.
[G3 Themes and Apps] Alaris:
How to do get all of those different levels? mine only has 0 and 1000 by default.
[G3 Themes and Apps] co.ag.2005:
click that Add button at the bottom. Set the corresponding Lux value and percent brightness per the OP
[G3 Themes and Apps] Alaris:
Ok do the settings go into effect right away or is there another step?
[G3 Themes and Apps] co.ag.2005:
they seem to go in effect right away for me. I've even added a few more levels since just to fine tune it for my personal likings. After setting the values, I hit the back button and close the app and it seems to take effect right away.
[G3 Themes and Apps] Alaris:
Cool thanks for helping me out

---------- Post added at 02:11 PM ---------- Previous post was at 02:10 PM ----------

Do you keep it on dynamic?
[G3 Themes and Apps] co.ag.2005:
I have it set to "On Awake" but I haven't spent much time with the app to know what each of those settings are. I'm not sure which the best is, but on awake has been working well for me.
[G3 Themes and Apps] Rudolpht:
I love the app. My problem is the regular brightness doesn't stay at 100% for lux to do it's job. After reboot or a sleep for >30 even when not auto, the native slider steps down. Drives me nuts because it starts too dim and it is like native brightness and lux are competing.
[Galaxy Note 10.1 (2014 Edition) Accessories] abramsgunner:
I wanted to give everyone a heads-up.. Just scored an Otterbox Defender for my Note 10.1 (2014) just over $51 otd

Walmart.com search for item 77-40507 priced at $47.17 (can't post outside link yet)

Several of my local stores (south Alabama) currently have a rack full in stock, maybe your local store does as well...

Make sure to buy online and deliver to store, as they are $89+ on the shelf and Walmart doesn't pricematch Walmart.com.

Awesome case, a bit heavy, but top-notch construction.
[Galaxy Note 10.1 (2014 Edition) Accessories] sleeptomorrow:
thanks. Looks pretty nice, but i'm more of a slim case fan. Also, fyi, this case does block the SD slot.
[Galaxy Note 10.1 (2014 Edition) Accessories] abramsgunner:
I am fond of slim cases as well, but I carry my Note with me daily at work so the extra protection is a decent trade-off, not to mention having something to 'grip'. I don't swap out SD cards, so the slot being covered is not an issue for me. When I need to move a bunch of files, I just plug into my desktop or use and OTG cable with a flash drive.

After a couple days of use, I can say that the Otterbox is exactly what I hoped it would be and am very happy with my purchase. I would not be a buyer at $90 because I can't justify paying 25% of the cost of my refurb tablet, but at $50.. I was all over it.

I was using a Roocase dual view leather case, and it is very nice for a book cover/stand style case, not exactly light, but sturdy and protective. I bought it as my second choice until the Otterbox became available.

Thanks for the heads-up on the SD slot, I know there are folks out there that swap cards.

NOTE: My one concern before I purchases was the built-in screen protector... Totally not an issue, you hardly know it is there, and the screen is still bright, beautiful, and sensitive. Writing feels different... the bare screen is very slick feeling, the Otterbox screen has much more friction.. I read somewhere that someone said it will eventually smooth out and settle somewhere in between, and that would be perfect.
[Galaxy Note 10.1 (2014 Edition) Accessories] kmroth20:
Great find.

Thanks. I got the case and I love it.
[Galaxy Note 10.1 (2014 Edition) Accessories] ARTAQaf:
ummm the walmart site says this case is, "for Samsung Galaxy Tab PRO 10.1" ... that is not the 2014 Edition.

y'all are saying it fits the 2014 Edition perfect though huh?
[Galaxy Note 10.1 (2014 Edition) Accessories] godzebu:
Rest assured :)

I got mine few days ago and it is perfect fit for note 10.1 2014 ed.

All ports line up correctly and also has s-pen slot.

It will work with tampered glasses but I took the built in screen protector from the case off as I didn't like the rainbow effect it created.

I hope it helped.
[Galaxy Note 10.1 (2014 Edition) Accessories] dr.m0x:
Was it difficult to remove the built in protector? I would also rather use tempered glass.
[Galaxy Note 10.1 (2014 Edition) Accessories] godzebu:
Not at all.

Just press it firmly at the corner in ward and it will start come apart.

I did, however, use bit of rubbing alcohol to make sure all adhesive are completely removed (just my OCD kicking in lol) to make sure there aren't any residue sticking to the glass.

I checked after a week of use and there weren't any residues :)

Cheers!
[Galaxy Note 10.1 (2014 Edition) Accessories] hyounglho:
I can also confirm that this case works beautifully. I liked tempered glass so I did remove the original screen protector. Very easy to do. Used Goo-Gone to remove remaining adhesive.

The price at Walmart is down to $39.99. Now the package sticker in the front does say "Samsung Galaxy Tab Pro(10.1) AND Galaxy Note 10.1 2014 Edition". It is fully compatible. Love the protection!!!! :victory:
[Galaxy Note 10.1 (2014 Edition) Accessories] Haffa:
Is it still easy to use?
[Galaxy Note 10.1 (2014 Edition) Accessories] stanleybb50:
Too bad they didn't make a commuter case for the Note 10.1 2014... This Defender seems a tad large. I feel like the wife is not going to like it...
[Galaxy Note 10.1 (2014 Edition) Accessories] md1008:
It really isn't that bad, just adds weight
[Galaxy Note 10.1 (2014 Edition) Accessories] stanleybb50:
Haha you're right! I got it and we both love it actually. Not afraid to "use" the tablet in it.
[Galaxy Note 10.1 (2014 Edition) Accessories] jgorniak:
Amazon is currently showing the black one at $32.50, and a couple of the other colors are less than $17.00.
[Galaxy Note 10.1 (2014 Edition) Accessories] kasmol:
Just purchased the grey/white model for $20.59, including next day shipping. Description does not state it is for the 2014 version, but several reviews indicate it is. Sweet!

Picked up a Grey and White Defender for $17 on Amazon. I just installed it, it's super bulky but the quality is amazing and the multi use stand is great.

Are the ones from Amazon authentic?

---------- Post added at 07:25 AM ---------- Previous post was at 07:24 AM ----------

Of so I went from damn I got a good deal to damn it I got ripped off lol
[Galaxy Note 10.1 (2014 Edition) Accessories] DrDoug:
The quality is certainly comparable to other Otterbox cases I have purchased. Looking through the other colors for this case, which were priced higher, I got the impression that grey/white may not be popular and is being phased out. Even if it is a fake Otterbox, which I don't believe it is, the case is still a bargain for $17.
[Galaxy Note 10.1 (2014 Edition) Accessories] FANdroid:
The Grey and White one I received was authentic otterbox. My Note 10.1 is white so it looks great together.
[Galaxy Note 10.1 (2014 Edition) Accessories] Dankees:
I just ordered one online from Walmart for $39.01 (Amazon also has the same price).

How is this case?
[HTC One Mini 2] UrbanDesigns:
Hi guys,

Got a gold HTC One Mini 2 about one month old, pretty much brand new, When I make calls I cannot hear what they're saying and sometimes they can not hear me. It's only sometimes when I can hear somebody but sometimes the person I'm calling can't hear me and it's just a crackling noise.

It's running android 4.4.2.

I was just wondering if anybody has any ideas? I googled and it seems to be a common problem with the HTC One but I cant find anything on the Mini 2. I read that it's just a software problem and that an update would fix it.

The HTC has a 2 year warranty so there's always that but obviously I need my phone especially to make/receive calls.

Hope somebody can help, much appreciated, thanks!
[HTC One Mini 2] Tobseren:
I'm experiencing the same problem here, on a 2 day old One Mini 2. Tried to contact HTC about the problem, first in the online-supportchat and then in the Concept Store in Copenhagen. No solution unfortunately.
[HTC One Mini 2] dlorde:
I had the microphone problem with my OM2 - loud crackling most of the time, but occasionally it worked OK, giving the impression of a bad contact or dry joint. As it was within the 14 day trial period, Vodafone UK replaced it with a new one which has been fine.
[HTC One Mini 2] JCB_Digger:
I've had 2 One Mini 2's and both failed with a faulty microphone, both were bought from Amazon so there was no problem getting them swapped. Aside from that it's a lovely phone, but I can't recommend it.
[HTC One Mini 2] monoski:
4 HTC One Mini 2's in 7 Days!

I'm on my FOURTH handset this week! Same problem, HTC One Mini 2, o2 UK. I get them out of the box, go to the voice recorder app and hit the button, nothing but crackles back, phone will only work as a phone if I put it on speaker phone (which seems to engage a different mic). Otherwise in normal use the mic is broken and crackling. The problem was intermittent on the first handset, the other 3 have been more consistently borked.

This time I'm intending to send the handset on to HTC - they say it could take up to 2 weeks to repair. Part of me just wants to pick a different phone and move on, but it's hard to believe that 4 in a row can all have the same defect. I've learnt a lot about HTC's quality control this week, I've never had an experience like this before. After spending the past 4 years on an iPhone 4, it's hard to understand how a company can send you 4 broken phones in a week.
[HTC One Mini 2] rasoooli:
My Mic not working too ( after 2 week of use )

Then I use speaker mode for calling ( and Mic Working )

After Factory reset everything repaired :)

But After 1 week mic error got back :crying:

what can i do

it seems this is software problem
[HTC One Mini 2] :
In UK HTC usually returnes handset in a couple day and you can fully track it online, (Shipped, repair, etc.) my longest time was 5 days with a bankholiday in the middle.

Bought mine on amazon UK unlocked and never had problems with it.
[HTC One Mini 2] rasoooli:
After hard reset everything is ok ( for a few call )

after that problem coming back !!???

it seems it not hardware issues

it must be software problem because of noise canceling
[MENTION=3678598]Will972[/MENTION] Can anyone Provide a way for disabling noise cancelling ?
[HTC One Mini 2] HandyBesitzer:
I had the same problem with my micro: http://xdaforums.com/one-mini-2/help/sizzling-noise-phoning-t2866453

HTC told me to run the audio test from the hidden menu: http://xdaforums.com/one-mini-2/help/htc-one-mini-2-hidden-menu-t2862144

So if you have the problems (crackling noise and no sound from the speaker) while running the test it's the hardware and you'll get a new device. I went to my Telekom shop and gave it back and two days later i had a new one.
