Hello, I'm looking for testers for High Brightness Mode Widget: mod edit: link removed
have promo codes for the first five people to post here and willing to report back to me.
It will make your screen extremely bright at the touch of a button. However, it requires root.
Works on other Samsung devices with AMOLED screens, so it will probably work on the s7, but I need confirmation.
can test it if u want
got a G935F , Exynos Version
I can test. Pm me
Sent from my Blackberry Bold
Can test also

App is working flawlessly, really did not know that the screen could be any brighter than max....
can test....
Thanks all, it's confirmed working.
I will send a promo code to @manager77 and one other lucky person tonight.
is there any way to use something like this if your not rooted. Verizon will never allow root on this device

Sorry, it's a hardware setting. The widget can't apply it without root.
Geez, too bright for me xD, probably perfect in summer, is this brighter than the auto brightness max?

Yes, it's really bright. I wouldn't use it indoors. It's for direct sun, or bright environments like beaches or snowy areas.
One promo code left, if anyone wants it.
made some test and it's really bright......but overall it's for direct sun.....good app...recommend it!!

What do you mean? I've heard that there is some issue with brightness on Samsung but I don't know what it is.
I'm pretty sure this widget does something different than you think. It kicks the screen into a different hardware mode that is extremely bright. Much brighter than turning the brightness slider up all the way.

Anyone else having issues with the capacitive buttons not lighting up? My back button works fine, but it's not lit at all.
Faulty Hardware
It may be you got a bad one, looks like your going to have to return it...
Looks like you have a defective unit, that sucks.
Mine doesn't light up either
All lights are working here.
all mine light up. i suggest you return ASAP
Yeah thats not right, please get it exchanged ASAP.

Turn your screen off and you'll see that there are no lights. When I turn my screen back on I'll see the buttoms. It's just the lights aren't bright enough. Can someone else post a screen shot of theirs?

Those lights look REALLY faint too.
I cann't understand how is possible some phones to be defective (either is the not lighted back button, either is GPS issue etc) and some to work properly....???
Aren't all from the same company (Samsung)??? Don't all phones manufactured in the same production line???
What the [email protected] is going on??? I cann;t believe what i am reading in all Nexus S threads...
Isn't supposed to be all phones exactly the same ones????

Double rainbow?! What does this MEEEAAAAN?
In seriousness, no two things are identical. Some phones could have been damaged in shipping, or slipped through the quality assurance program. Just because a company mass produces a product doesn't mean that each one of them are exactly the same.

On the 6.0 update?
For me...
1. Faster fingerprint reader/unlock animation
2. New keyboard layout
3. Finally having an option to switch to pin code for alternative option if fingerprint isnt working
4. Adjustments on touchwiz
5. Google now on tap
6. New emojis
7.Faster phone ?? (hopefully)
Is speed an issue? My Note5 is smooth and quick. *shrug* Now on Tap is actually pretty cool. I don't use a protective lock screen so I don't know about that. I'd like to be able to activate Samsung Pay with a swipe up from the S-View window, but that won't happen.

Speed is definitely not an issue lol, but there are somethings that need a speed improvement.. such as the fingerprint reader. I just hope i dont see any lag. Im assuming you use Find my mobile? if you dont use a protective lock screen. And i dont use samsung pay or NFC payment for that matter, but i understand your struggle haha.
I could root my device, but i choose not to. Reason being is it will possibly lose value once Knox has been tripped.

I do use Find my Mobile but I also use this https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.rickclephas.fingersecurity to lock certain apps. It only locks those apps when I am not connected to my WiFi or my cars Bluetooth. Maybe with the new fingerprint API I'll lock the whole phone up.
I also noticed when watching marshmallow beta for s6/s6 edge is that the capacitive buttons dont light up when touching the screen... which is a smart move from samsung. It saves battery and it makes sense. It only lights up when pressing them or when pressing the home button.

Thats looks like a really useful app! And yes, really looking forward to the new fingerprint API. We can finally make purchases with just our fingerprint reader on play store, amazon, ebay, etc... hopefully.
I hope they fix the keyboard lag I have with every keyboard.
New emojis?! What are the supposed to look like in 6.0? Also what is Google on tap?

Actually it makes no sense, whatsoever. The entire point of the capacitive buttons lighting up when you touch the screen is so you can see them in the dark in order to press them.. lighting up when you touch them makes zero sense, why would I need them to do THAT?

It only takes about an hour to learn which is which... Its unecessary for the lights to turn on everytime you touch the screen, its just pointless.

They didn't light up because it was a Beta and the rooted kernel broke it even more on some devices, but made them work better on other devices. There's also mods you can use to just turn them off if you don't like them. Xposed. Or just go into the settings!!!
Also, just because you don't like them being on, doesn't mean that they are pointless. Tests have also been done to see just how much battery life is affected by Capacitive buttons and you can't even tell how much they use.
By the way, a lot of people like myself, work in dark places and have to use our phones. Think about that for a minute.:good:
The only thing I'm looking forward to is a phone that doesn't get an update and have it cause the phone to be worse than before. Right now my stock Note 5 works just fine.

Well judging by the videos people post about MM update or s7 edge with MM, it doesn't light up when touching the screen. Lol.

Set Automatic Rules to stop after 5 minutes and enable Battery Save Mode, Works fine for me.
guys the point is that galaxy s7 goes to sleep while its on always-on screen but this app just give you a black screen and its like running an app, cpu is on and it drains battery like you are using you phone not like you are putting it aside

Nice. Will give it a try later.
apk. super, but consumption battery is big some other apk. with Always on?
I used this app, I think this app might be bugging my lockscreen out. I use the fingerprint sensor to unlock my device, when I do, I have a rare, once a day or so bug that "unlocks" to a black screen. I have to force reboot my phone to get around it. I have it disabled until I can figure out why.
Very good i will try

If you are playing indoors then turn off automatic brightness, that should help with the brightness problems.

Mine is less than 10days. Replacement is still available. My question is, whether everyone has this problem or only few. If everyone, there's no use in replacing.

I generally like the adaptive brightness setting on this phone, but I often find it sets itself to the absolute lowest brightness setting on occasions where it seems inappropriate. If there a way to change adaptive brightness so that it keeps the screen a little brighter?
