Screen use lots of battery - HTC Incredible S

As you can see in the SS, Is this normal? I'm using auto brightness and I didn't enabled the screen rotate. It seems really weird.
Adds;
I'm on the turkish RUU (official)
sense 3.0

Small notice: I'm tracking the phone with Cpu Spy and I'm sure phone can get into deep sleep.

Yes thats normal
I think its because of the LCD technology
And the backlight
I get around that on my phone too

My phone is 85% deep sleep using CPU spy and my screen takes 60% in battery stats.

I did not use auto brightness and instead I'm using *QBright* from Play Store to manually control my brightness. You can easily change the brightness by holding the search button. With auto brightness turn off, the sensor no longer drain your battery the moment you turn on the screen.

how much diffrence between Auto backlight&manual battery consuming ??

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.

[Q] Light Sensor disabled when display brightness too low?

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.

Brightness auto or man?

Question and/or discussion
What is better for battery?
Screen brightness automatic with basis 20% or brightness manuel on 20%

It depends where/when you use your phone most.
If its mainly outdoors then manual brightness will give a better battery life, but its going to be hard to see the screen. If indoors and/or lowlight then auto may be better.
I always use auto brightness so you have a balance of power saving and readability.

i think it's semi auto
whem i'm outdoor i'll set at 60% and auto option for let it swing around 60%
and at night i may be set at 30 % for soft light
Screen brightness automatic with basis 20%

[Q] Do you think using auto brightness is good??

I heard that auto brightness consumes more battery
But its also something exclusive to our phone comparing to the s3 mini
So, do you guys think its worth using??
No, if you want to save battery. Btw, I don't think you need to open a thread for question like this..
For a long time I used autobrightness, but now it seems to be better if I change turn the screen brighter when I need, or if the sun shines so bright, any other time my brightness is on minimum.
What i do is:
Brightness- lowest most of the time
outdoor- auto when i want
Btw, for dialling no.s quickly i used a tasker profile (when i launch phone/messaging b/w 8am-6pm it sets auto brightness on)

For those who don't know , tasker is an app which is used to automate your phone. (It uses an"if this then that" logic.
Search Google play for tasker.
Such a setting is called a profile.

I always have brightness at 100 and still a good battery life

Auto brightness is constantly using the sensors to gauge the brightness levels so is no good for battery life.
Use it only when needed like outside in sunlight.
Indoors minimum brightness is fine and is much better on battery.

Sensor should be shutdown when screen is turn off and active only when screen is active. The easiest way would be check interrupts in kernel
Code:
cat /proc/interrupts|grep sensor_name
. If it generate a lot of interrupts when screen if off it may cause battery eating, but then is fault in driver.
I turn off auto brightness first thing. It never goes dim enough when in a dark room or bright enough in daylight. I also see battery saved when I manually control it. Been doing this with all phones I have had... just sayin'

Yes i know its only when screen on.
Would be a bit pointless with screen off

Adaptive brightness question.

I searched and found no real answer. My question is does it use more battery life to have adaptive brightness on which allows my screen backlight to dim way more on default. I've read and been told leaving it off is best however with it off my screen can only din to what appears to be about 25 percent. Does the service running to adjust the brightness use more battery then just leaving it at its lowest with adaptive brightness off?

The problem for battery drainage with adaptive setup is when the brightness gets cranked up to high in a well lit surrounding even though at times its unnecessary. With it off you can simply apply a brightness percentage that is okay for you in most conditions like when you're mostly in the same office for hours.
