I was just wandering what level most of you set your backlight to and how it affects battery life. Also, do you have auto-backlight set to 'on'?
Just trying to find a good balance between brightness and battery and so thought your experience would really help.
Thanks,
S.
Set to Auto here. No problems with battery life so haven't tried adjusting manually. I personally like the way it manages the back-light depending on ambient light

how much diffrence between Auto backlight&manual in battery consuming
is there any experience ???
nobody knows?
One week ago, I changed the option for backlight to 5 min instead of normal 30sec. I even changed the backlight on while making calls (tweak cabfile). I don't notice any more batteryconsumption. This is a overall experience.
I think more brightness on the display will be more battery consuming than backlight settings.

Thanks! I think you are right
What ever option you choose that cuts Electricity flow saves Batts.
So yes turning the screen all the way down when only doing calls and at night helps a lot!
Note also that the auto-dim function doesn't ever dim the light right down (no matter how dark it gets) - the lowest it reaches is equivalent to the manual brightness level 3.

So I just got Tasker and I've been playing around with the light sensor and I've noticed something strange. If I set the display brightness is below 12% (12% is the lowest brightness setting in display settings), the light sensor stops working. Has anyone else noticed this?
It would be nice to be able to set the display brightness to 0% to save battery and still be able to use the light sensor. I'm running Perception 10.1 with glitterballs OC/UV kernel.
(I'm using Extended Controls to set and see the brightness %)

The lowest I could go is 8% using brightness level widget. If I am not wrong, 0% would be screen off. U could use "screen filter" app to further reduce brightness at night so it does not strain eyes. This lets u go as dark as u want, even upto literally where u cannot see anything on screen.
what is the main use of this in CM settings? does it saves battery when activated??
These are options that allows you to set the automatic brightness. Phone will set the brightness according to ambient light.
Becouse of max brightness consume much electricity, allow the phone to decrease it when it's dark grant energy saving, then it saves battery.
Does anyone use this phone on full brightness and if so what is the battery life like? just curious because i'm thinking about using it on 100%
Thanks
Dude I'm sure using it at 100% brightness will kill your retina before it kills your battery.
Seriously though, I think they made some changes to the brightness setting in one of the more recent firmwares, because it shines with the intensity of a thousand suns now at 100%, compared to what I remember it's like originally. I used to set it at 50% brightness, now it's at 25% or so but with the same perceived luminosity level (non-scientific of course).
Do you really need it at 100% constantly?
Hello again.
Does anyone else find that the maximum brightness of the screen tends to dim from a "normal" maximum heat to an overexposed one? It happens that I am using my mobile very frequently on the street and despite having the brightness at maximum, the screen is usually dark. But from time to time as the Operating System detects that there is a lot of sunlight and increases the brightness much more (that's precisely what I'm looking for, use that maximum brightness manually, not automatically). I can't find a way to adjust that brightness value, I thought "Dark Aware" would help me but nothing to do with it. Any way to turn up that brightness?
