I am wanting to adjust my brightness on my phone even more than what my settings will let me. I can see the lowest brightness setting really well. ...and for battery saving purposes i want to know if there is any way to get it even lower than that. or anyway to keep the screen from hogging up so much battery.
thanks so much
Depends on the ROM you're using. AOKP and I believe CM10 let you set custom values for backlight levels.

I apologize in advance if this is the most noob question ever, but I'm coming from a DX and the mod options are slim.
I've been reading that many people set cpu and underclock to get better battery life. I've been trying to figure out how to do that and haven't been successful.
Can someone point me in the right direction?? Anything I can do to squeeze out more battery life would be great.

Looks like a good link.
I'd also recommend looking at the help that comes with set cpu. Iirc, it was pretty helpful when I was using it.

Is there a true battery savings for the hassle of setting all that up??

The savings seem to diminish as the number of profiles grow. If you keep it simple (say with just a screen off profile), then you'll probably realize some savings.

So I'm running a 2100 m a h extended life battery and I know I should be getting better life than this. I'm running 4.1 jelly bean on cdma phone, stock kernel. I also have the app killer checked on, and my screen brightness is pretty low. I've been having my wifi at home but still for 4 hours in 40 percent screen time that's really bad numbers. just wondering if anybody has any input

Uninstall your task killer, those do more harm than good. And download BetterBatteryStats to see what is draining your battery.
More likely it's your apps that are causing it to drain very badly. Any shady looking apps I would uninstall. And like above me, do those both as well.

What setting is this? And don't use it.
You may want to use the Better Battery stats application to check for wake locks.
Trying a different kernel may also help. The Faux kernel works well for myself.
Lastly, the standby time doesn't give as much insight into your battery life as well as screen on time does. What kind of screen on time are you getting?
Note: don't use task killers, and don't manually kill applications.

Wow your right. First for some reason I couldn't even click back on x d a developers app kept force closing and after I check that I can finally go back didn't think that would effect so much

Turn off any app killing, as you've done.
In your screenshot, you had a lot of calls, that'll do it too, so battery life can vary.
Here is today's. I don't get it. 2100 math battery low brightness display

Why is task killing worse than good?

I am not sure about the stock app killer but any 3rd party app killer is constantly scanning your phone looking for apps running even if there is none so it's constantly using battery power

Just a bit. Of course that depends on screen brightness and how long you leave the screen on for.

My brightness is always at the lowest setting and usually about a minute or so for texts.

You won't notice the difference then. Maybe a single percent at the end of the day with a lot of texts.

Yes, white backgrounds would consume more power then their black counter parts... but it is also a matter of how high you set the screen's brightness for how much power the display will consume. I would suggest that you Play around with your settings and lower your brightness as low as possible so you can read it. You could also purchase an extended battery like myself... so you do not have to worry about those issues as much!
I got a 1800 meh battery. Not really extended but an hour or two more juice. And the white, really doesn't take up battery life. Maybe (for my phone) 1-4% thru the whole day, but not bad

I find myself transferring and using the NFC/S beam a lot with my friends. I don't like to keep it on all the time to save battery.
Do you guys know of any toggle or widget to make the on/off process faster?
What do you use?
Sent from my SGH-T999
I think Switch pro widget allows you to make a an NFC on/off toggle widget. Check it out:

What do you mean by that? There is no such thing as settings/s beam without going through "more settings", at least on Touchwiz. Please elaborate.

Thanks for the suggestion, I have downloaded the app and it does have an NFC toggle that takes you straight to the NFC/S beam setting. It would have been nice for the switch to turn it on.

I'm completely stock as well, when you choose the settings Widget, it would give you the option to choose s beam, a lot easier than going under settings, and more settings...

Is your question, can you leave this off? Or on?
You're taking about the setting in the Hidden Menu?
Someone else posted something about this, their name started with a"C" I believe.
Anyway, mine is turned off and has been since that other post. I don't really think it did much for my battery life.

So here's the thread it was originally brought up on. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2328478
I remember my issues with it. I'm outside a lot and the phone will autodim down to 67% making it unreadable in sunlight. When I used this setting, I worked great outside but the screen would do some weird things when I left it on all the time. But I think it was conflicting with the autobrightness. It probably does make your phone run hotter as the cpu and the display won't be using any temperature regulation. And the Display has always been an issue on stock.
Yea i readthat one allready i just need some to giv reassurance that its beeb thoroughly tested
