Umm I've been wondering if auto brightness improves or kills the battery ... By auto brightness , I mean the constant auto-detection of brightness to set the brightness of the screen . Not the brightness of the screen shown.

if you don't use ur phone at lowest brightness then autobrightness doe help a lot in saving battery
I mean ... =0= Not the brightness shown on the screen but the detection of surrounding lights
Autobrightness kills battery....for example if u r staying in the sun most of the time then it wont dim and hence u'll have a considerable battery drainage....auto brightness basically does what u cn do manually....toggle between brightness....i suggest u to do it manually....good luck

Don't forget that your cpu uses power to take readings from the sensor.

Thanks to this thread: click!, I've played a bit with the brightness settings.
You first need to enable automatic brightness. If not, your settings will only effect the touch buttons.
Then you go to cyanogenmod settings - display - automatic backlight - edit other levels.
Picture below is just a test, don't now if these are the best settings. Need to test it further. I can say 1024 is the highest for light sensor, tested under my desk lamp. If you don't need lighted touch buttons, set right column all to zero.
What I can say, the screen is the greatest user of battery, so tweaking these settings to optimal numbers will possibly help.

Do you use brightness levels shown in Guide for Desire?
Umm, I don't understand what to do here. Sorry I ain't that good with all this

I use my own values, based on testing. Light sensor is different on desire.
Edit values by clicking on it, after you changed all, press right top button.
Before modding values, hit button at bottom and enter 6.

thought this was worth a plug here.
as if my rom didn't have max brightness tweaked already..
if your brightness isn't low enough on those latenight face in your phone sessions..
saves my eyes, and without any official testing, i would have to say that it dramatically increases battery drainage for a heavy user like me.
with that said, i got this thing on at all times ..

Try Screen Filter. Same thing. Free. Should save battery on an OLED screen.
https://market.android.com/details?id=com.haxor#?t=W251bGwsMSwxLDIxMiwiY29tLmhheG9yIl0.
Both of you should try RootDim. It uses super user rights to take brightness below android defaults.
As a new user I can't link to it.

Quick question. How well does the auto-brightness work and when indoors, about what percentage brightness does it stay on?

imo the stock autobrighntess settings from HTC are FAR too high.
independent if its dark or bright outside.
even when you are in a dark room the stock autobrightness settings wont got to the lowest screen brightness. Really dont know why HTC is doing it like that.
if you unlocked your device you can flash a custom rom though.
With them it is possible to lower that values.
in my rom for example I included an interface which alows you to set each step of teh autobrighntness setting:
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",

"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
Can I just root it and alter the brightness settings, or do I need a custom rom?

Just rooting doesn't give option to set autobrightness alter option you need charmeleon rom to do that
Download the rom from here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1625816 - Best rom ever seen!

Turning off bravia doesnt save much battery.
My S has most percentage of system use.
Did u eake the display often? Or just screen off standby?

But screen brightness does. I read many forums But all I found is most percentage use for system.
Hi,
Is there way to disable the notifications of the battery charging when screen is off.
Don't like this option at night.
I attached a picture of the text I am talking. But when the screen is all black.
Best regards

None yet, as far as I know. Hopefully Sam will either remove it or give you the option of turning the freakin' display off with the next update.
It's crazy that turning off AOD doesn't disable that.

My workaround is using this app

You just need to disable AOD service and that's it.
Enable it after charging is completed and thats it.
Its like 10 seconds of work before putting the phone on charger.
Little power
It uses little power and it's not static so not an issue of any consequence.
I use the Goodlock apps to change it's color and clock style.
Normally it always is running; it's very useful for me.
About a 1% per hour battery drain when running with clock.
You can also manually set it's brightness to the lowest level but it won't be visible except at night.
Turning off AOC should leave you with a completely blank off screen (no screen lock is set on my phone though).
