Additionally, what do people feel is the best way to run Collins battery tweak
I am running cm 6 rc1

Something else is killing your battery, that's just telling you the % of it while the phone is turned on. Download spare parts and see what it is.... as far as collins batt tweak I used 768mhz and get 90+ hours

I have spare parts...what kinds of things should I be looking for

Anything showing a high % under "partial wake usage?"
Also, I use "Dimmer" form the market to keep my screen brightness down. I set it all the way down (using quick settings shortcut) for when I am inside and when I go outside or into a bright room I have it set to increase to 25% when I toggle the dimmer shortcut on my home screen. I thought the auto-brightness was making it higher than it needs to be in most cases.

Everything seems low under partial wake usage...

Here, check out this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=762139
Seems like many others are reporting bad battery loss from CM6 -- looks like it has something to do with the display...it might not be properly "sleeping" even if the screen is off. Don't know if there's a fix yet but that other thread at least has some useful information in it.

Screen brightness

When someone develops a rom for this phone, can you boost screen brightness in auto? My screen seems so dim next to other android phones I put it next to..

I agree 100%. The automatic brightness is way dimmer than my OG Droid, I finally had to set the screen around 75% but now it's not quite bright enough for sunlight and too bright for nighttime.

Probably intentionally dim out of the box w/auto-brightness to save battery.
Would be cool if you could choose your auto-brightness settings (dim, medium and bright presets?)

agreed... im greatful for how dim it gets because I know it helps with battery, but being able to configure this would be nice as well.

Just used my friend's atrix.. Someone please hack the brightness!

When i go settings my brightness become dim and rebrighten slowly than my brother's HTC One(his htc one rebrighten like normal). Is this hardware issues or software issues? :crying:

Hmm interesting I noticed this today when opening a folder on my homescreen. At first I thought it was auto brightness but nope, checked it with power saver off but still had the issue. It seems to be when the brightness is set a little bit under 50% or below. The screen fluctuates a bit and slowy redims. Glad to see I am not the only one, I'd like to see more on this.

Btw any solutions?

App - Adiust contrast and back light

By The app on the or rather the settings availble in XZ basically only increases the brightness along with the back light , therefoer loosing the clarity and rich colors when in maximum ,
Here is an app which can controll it individually , indoors i like the setting 50 % on both levels to get that dark deep colors along with minimal brightness
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=mobi.omegacentauri.ScreenDim.Full&hl=en
test ur settings and post your likings and settings config below is something intresting , the samples with the viewing angles after I have set the app to 50 - 50
Before the app with 100 % brightness check the head on screen and the side view
and then after the app enable with 50% setting and additional deep viewing angle
Edit 1 i can 100% confirm viewing angles are great than ever with 50% on both... and derpest colors.. love xz more than ever...

guess more tweaking and adjustments give better vibrancy .. share your settings...

I agree, viewing angles have increased incredibly!
My system settings are
Brightness: 100%
White balance: saturation 9.5%
colortone 0%
Screen dim settings
BRIGHTNESS:70.2%
Contrast: 94.2%

I bet that you had screen on for like 3,5h while that graph was taken.
Normal thing it is taking that much
Sent from my SGS Adv. using xda-developers app.

Well, it is screen, i dont see anything wrong with the usage, actually i think its kinda good usage for the screen, but you have to tell us the screen use time, and the brightness, otherwise its looking fine with me.

thanks friends ...screen usage is 3h 48min and i have brightness low ...but i think screen 70-80% is too much ...or is normal???

You are clearly not using heavy usage apps, like facebook, whats app, viber, twitter, and so on, apps with internet usage drain more battery, browsing internet will drain battery faster, so i you used ONLY screen you will end up only 70% on screen, but with more apps to drain you'll drain the battery faster and you'll find screen usage lower, however i still find the battery graph normal.

You may be right ...thanks :good:

Enable adaptive backlight in screen settings if u are on cm
