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.

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.

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.
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've noticed the LED brightness varies. I like my brightness to the max. I did notice one day that once the Power Saving is enabled, the LED gets dimmer. I have the Power Saving feature to turn on only when it reaches 20%. Anyways, most of the time I barely hit that mark before I charge it up again. I notice that sometimes I will have a very bright LED notification and other times it's not as bright. Is there any way to force it to be bright all the times (except when Power Saving kicks in of course)? Auto brightness on the screen is off by the way. Not sure if that would affect the LED brightness but it's off.
I am pretty sure the notification LED is also controlled by screen brightness. That way you don't get blinded at night by it. Also just so you know with auto turned off, even at full brightness you will have issues in sunlight. If you set it to auto, in sunlight you will get about 30% more brightness then you would just set at max.

I could understand that if the auto brightness was enabled, but it's not and the LED brightness fluctuates.
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?
I've seen a lot of talk about adaptive brightness turning itself off but my problem is the opposite, it won't go off. When I go outside it's almost impossible to see the screen because it's adjusting when I have adaptive brightness turned off. I like a very bright screen and keep my brightness set the to the max but it refuses to stay that bright outside. And for what it's worth it always shows that brightness at max but again you can tell it's adjusted on its own. Any ideas?
