Guys, today i successfully got root and first of all slightly changed the values in sysmon.cfg. Changed maximum brightness level (255) from first value till next four values, so there`s first five values set on maximum brightness, 255. And then the brightness gradually goes lower and lower till minimum (100) value. I did the same thing on my previous phone, Xperia T, and had no issues with this. What do you think, everyting will be OK with Z ? I don`t play games so much , more often surfing, music, movies. But when the screen is changing brightnes this is so annoying, so i`ve changed this values, but a little bit worry, because the screen is bigger and quad-core processor, so what do you think ?
Well, i guess noone knows exactly answer on this question, and in the meantime i changed the values, and set first 10 values to maximum (255) brightness level, and have no issues with this. Instead i have maximum brightness level of the screen when surfing and listening the music, but in games the screen still makes darker, when the temperature of the phone becomes too high, and in this condition i think the screen is better to be a darker indeed, to not to let the phone become too hot and not to damage it. But in the normal state i think that the screen in maximum brightness won`t damage the device. I hope so

I still own an HP iPAQ. Granted it's getting on a bit but I can do everything the Orange SPV M2000 (Blue Angel) can, except make phone calls. It was a great little device and one of the best things about it was the battery lasted ages.
Granted it doesn't have to keep polling the radio signal every few seconds but there is one way I think that battery performace could be improved and that's by making the screen less bright.
Right now I find the screen is way too bright at night. I play games and read on it in bed.
Is there any way of programatically making the brightness levels finer grained? WM5 has 10 graduations whereas the iPAQ has about 30.
Through this one change alone, I know I could get about another 2/4 hours usage out of my Blue Angel.
Anyone (Helmi?) know if this is possible by simply increasing the number of divisions in the brightness slider?
Isn't this just a change of a variable in the code or does the hardware fundamentally not allow it?
Looking though the registry there is a reg value for the brigtness levels at..
HKEY_CURRENT_USERS/ControlPanel/Backligh/
[ACBrightNess] and [BrightNess]
At default, the maximum value of the BrightNess settings can be 10, the lowest 1, with any other number higher or lower apparently turning off the brightness. You can adjust the scale of the brightness levels, so you can have 30 diffrent levels of controll by editing the [DefaultACBrightNess] and [DefaultBrightNess] values to 30, but this doesn't work too well on my device and value 1 is just as bright as it was before.
One extra little thing though, is that on the same registery folder is a value [QKeyLedTimeout] which controls the timeout of the blue lights behind the slide out keyboard, in seconds. I've set this to 30 which seems to be better then the mear 10 seconds you are normally given.
Thanks for that Percz
I'm going to download a registry editor from somewhere and give it a shot.
Did you work all this out by playing around with the registry?
I found in the same folder
HKEY_CURRENT_USERS/ControlPanel/Backligh/
the two keys MaxACBrightness and MaxBrightness. I set those to 30 and now I've got 30 graduations in the slider but only the first 10 work.
I guess there must be another two keys somewhere that set the actual low brightness and high brightness values.
I'll keep digging around and see if I can find something.
Well I have a HP Jornada 720 Handheld PC and it is 6 years old and still has the original battery in it and I find it lasts about 7 hours easy and I use it every week or so now but before I would be using for a couple of hours a day and it just keeps going a reset every few months but other than that it is fine. With the BA reset it 3 times a day, carry a extra battery just so it makes it through the day and then you still have other problems.
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.

You don't want to give your significant other yet another reason to yell at you while you're reading XDA in bed. Rate this thread to express what you think of the LG Nexus 5X's display minimum dimness. A higher rating indicates that the display can get extremely dim, ideal for reading in very dark environments.
Then, drop a comment if you have anything to add!
Not great. LCD has trouble with very low brightness
I've never seen an IPS display brightness get as low as this. Phone arena measured it at 2 nits.
Not many people need their screen to get that low but for those who do, it's there.
Screen can get really dim on manual setting
For me, the lowest brightness setting was never needed, but if there are users that want to take advantage of this then it is there.
Anyone have issues with the adaptive brightness feature lowering the screen brightness way too low? In a room where the light source is in front of me (behind the phone since it's pointing at me) the phone screen will dim and make it impossible to read. Increasing the brightness doesn't help as it will get way too bright when something bright comes on behind me for a few seconds.
Omg I LOVE how low the brightness gets, its perfect for waking up at 3 am and checking the time. I'm one of those people who keeps the screen on the lowest brightness possible, never use auto brightness. I've never seen a screen have as huge of a range of brightness as this. You can go from "I can't see wtf is on the screen" to "AHHHHHH! MY EYES, THEY ARE BURNING!" in half a second.
A month ago or so, i had this random period of time where perfZ started to show "-" for temperature ( i assume its gpu temperature because it doesnt match with battery or cpu temp from another app) and my phone was heating up much more in games but so was the performance was way better.
Normally after thermal throttling kicks in and device reaches heat equilibrium, my battery would sit around 38-39C, cpu at 42-43C. But in that time period where it showed "-", my equilibrium was battery sitting at 44C, cpu at 47-48C. Phone was considerably hotter to touch but you could still game on it. And performance was way better, it would fall to 50fps min instead of 40fps, which is very noticable. (Dont have exact numbers maybe a bit better)
Idk how this happened as it randomly happened one day but does anyone know how to make this work? My device isnt rooted. (s10+ exy)
(Small note: Using game plugins at max performance or custom doesnt help, maybe they arent optimised for dead by daylight, because thats the only game i play)
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?
