I don’t prefer Samsung Galaxy S III HD Super AMOLED screen due to PenTile display. And Samsung decided to save battery life by lower Samsung Galaxy S3 display automatic brightness values. Yes, Samsung Galaxy S3 display auto brightness is much lower compare to HTC One X. And have poor outdoor viewing due to low maximum brightness too. How to increase Samsung Galaxy S3 display auto brightness? Simple, just install auto brightness mod which available for stock XXALE8 and XXALF2 firmware (at the time of writing this).
This Samsung Galaxy S3 display auto brightness mod does increase the default values. So display looks brighter at indoor. But don’t expect outdoor display performance will improve as stock value is already at maximum.

Hi Jayce,
After i updated my S3 with latest firmwave from Samsung using kies, and i rooted again after the firmwave updates, i re-appy “auto brightness” again using CW. when the handset reboot, it prompt error using boot up and caused entire phone unable to boot.
half way boot and stop with error message “boot error process %1 $s….”
Please help
Restore back to your previous backup then.
Yes, i restored previous backup using CW recovery. the firmwave back to old, when i plug S3 to PC using kies trying to update new firmwave from Kies, the Kies say my handset is “not supported” for firmwave upgrade, how to obtain new firmwave from Kies? caused, after rooted, S3 not able to obtain firmwave from OTA.
Please help.
thanks
What is your current firmware detail displayed out from Samsung Kies?
When i connect S3 to PC via USB.
Firmwave information:
Your device does not support software upgrading via Kies.
current firmwave version: PDA:LE8/PHONE:LF3/CSC:LE5 (SIN)
The above all show in kies…
Your PHONE needs to be LE8 too. Else can’t upgrade with Samsung Kies. That’s one of the weakness of CWM. It does not restore back phone/modem.
Try the manual way ~ install with Odin. Get latest firmware from SamMobile.

by doing the manual way update the formwave, will my S3 apps and S3 desktop wallpaper gone?
No, if no problem occurs. But no harm to make a backup first.
I am sorry, there is so many files inside the url link,
Is this file i need only? XXALE8 Kernel
sorry, the file name: Kernel_I9300XXALE8.7z
@chee: Download the latest whole firmware for your country. Easier. No need to upgrade with Samsung Kies again.

after following this step https://www.jayceooi.com/2012/06/12/how-to-install-update-zip-with-clockworkmod-recovery-on-samsung-galaxy-s3-video/
Revert to your previous CWM backup then.

I have no idea then. Restore to previous CWM backup should fix all errors (unless you already have error before backup).
is’t possible if i using my friend phone backup?
Yes if same model. But what is the point? Better install a new firmware easier…

Hi Jayce, does this auto brightness mod compatible with JB Malaysian firmware
I don’t think so, IvanC. But new firmware like Jelly Bean should have brighter auto brightness settings already.
Thx Jayce
