Can anyone also confirm this please? If you go to settings > Display > Uncheck "Auto" brightness setting > set the slider all the way to 100%. Then, go to Settings again > Battery > Optimize battery usage. Let it analyze and then read the first row. Does it also say "Screen brightness set to 96%, set it to auto to save power?".
On my previous P10 LITE, it says "Screen brightness set to 100%, set it to auto to save power". It's either a bug or some weird setting I don't know of that can let you select full brightness.
Show's 96% for me too.
Weird, but makes no difference to anything!
I was thinking that the phone never actually goes to 100% brightness and it might make a difference in very bright places. We can't find out for sure if this phone has a locked brightness for battery saving purposes or if it's some sort of bug. I've emailed them but I don't have high hopes of receiving an answer.
Ok, so I received an answer from Huawei. They said that if I turn off the Auto check box and turn the slider all the way up, it is at maximum brightness. I am not sure if they understood what I meant but that wouldn't be the first time .
Also, on a side note, they mentioned that if I use apps with white background, the brightness changes automatically in order to improve battery life. I thought it only did this when there was bright light outside. The strange thing is that this in-app brightness fluctuation happens even if I uncheck the auto setting, but only when I use a custom brightness setting and not full brightness.
Such a strange feature, I guess the "disable" option nowadays means only what they want it to mean...

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.

how to lower the brightness of gingerdx, even at lowest it is very high which is draining my battery.
Settings -> CyanogenMod Settings -> Display -> Automatic backlight
In there you will find everything you need to tinker around with it.
And I can't imagine that "even at lowestest settings it's draining the battery" - it looks more like you have a problem with either the hardware of your phone, or a dying battery or some other configuration problem as you seem to post around that each and every ROM you try has a battery problem for you.

you can install screen filter. download it from android market.
automatic brightness is working but so slowwww for me
When I set timeout screen to a specific time than approximately 10 seconds before timeout takes place the brightness of the screen gets dimmed.
Is it possible to set the brightness of this (I don't know how to call this)?
Is my question not clear? There must be a way to change this. Maybe by users, but probably by developers.
I found out where to change this pre lockscreen brightness dimmer settings.
Go to settings/power saver/brightness.
There you can change it in steps of 10%, 20%, 30%, 50%.
You can also change the starting time: 15, 30, 60 seconds.
I normally have my brightnes settings set to 20% (if you choose auto-settings, pre brightness settings don't work)
I rather have this pre lockscreen brightness settings set to 5% or 1% or screen off if possible.
Is there a way to make this happen?
It would be perfect to use because once the HDMI cable is attached the screen will never turn off.
Only by pressing the power button, but this will also terminate the external mirrored image.

Excellent! Just what I was looking for but didn't think it would exist. Thanks for helping!
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.
Title says it all, I want to set it up so I'll be able to see in the daylight without changing my brightness all the time but save on battery life
