E3d in the sun?

---

hey all, I am just wondering if there is a setting, or a trick to be able to see the screen in the Sun? I work outside and anytime someone calls, or i need to use the phone, I have to cup my hands over it and turn away from the sun, and do everything I can to just be able to see the screen? Do the anti-glare screen protectors work? Is it my otterbox case?

Wondering if there are any tricks of the trade?

I use a matte screen protector. Works good enough, but you're only gonna get so much result. It's not really designed for the outdoors.

Yes go to you Display Properties and crank your brightness to the max. I use mine in the sun and see it perfectly. In fact I use a Powerbar that has Wifi/Bluetooth/GPS and the brightness function on it so its all at the fingertips. One push and the screen is medium bright another push and its full on bright and one more push and its at its lowest setting.. But youd be amazed how incredible the display is when the brightness is full blast.

Ok, I have been keeping it on "auto brightness" I was assuming when it senses the sun? it maxes itself out?

Auto brightness is garbage...well for me it is. I like having my brightness the lowest when im in doors and highest when im out doors. I have to do it manually but i dont mind.

Install my kernel, it increases the max brightness for your screen. The maximum brightness for 3D mode is 255, but the max brightness for standard mode is 232. I bumped standard mode to 255, so it is still within factory specs.

I read here that polarized sunglasses really help to see the screen in the sun;

But I also read here that polarized sunglasses, in fact, make it harder to see;

Go figure

Everyone's eyes work differently, so I suppose it's worth a try!
