I haven't had any visibility problems with a Galaxy Note 2. However, before flying, I go to settings and change the brightness, from automatic to manual, and set it at full brightness.

Last weekend I lost the gps signal 3 or 4 times for a minute or two, and I think it was related to overheating. Warm and blue day.


I am going to try to make a small plastic tunnel for mine and see if I can reduce the heat - also going to take it out of the rubber protective cover - it over heated twice when the sun was coming from behind me and once before I had a reflective canopy cover and had the canopy open, there by cooking the poor tablet.
