Do any of you guys use full brightness, screen on time?

Im wondering if anybody else here always has their brightness to max and wondering what screen on time you guys get, i usually get like 2 hours max with full brightness..what about you guys?

I never really turn mine above 35% unless I'm outside in direct light.. 100% is too bright for me in normal circumstances.

I have mine set to about 80% brightness and it lasts approx from 7am to 10pm.

I keep mine at about 10-20% indoors. The thing is crazy bright. Outdoors it needs 50-75%. 100% is crazy bright.

I've been 100 percent the whole time. Normally get 2 hours of screen time and 7 hours total before I need a charge on the extended battery. I'm willing to sacrifice battery life for a gorgeous screen.

Same, full brightness hurts my eyes. Indoor I usually use 10-20%, outdoor maybe 50-60%.

Full brightness gives me about 2-3 hours screen on time. Stock 1730mah battery.

100% brightness majority of the time for me. I'm not a heavy user so I typically still get over 24 hours of charge with full brightness.

oh okay, thanks guys. reading your replies makes me feel that my phone is normal .

Full brightness all the time. Carry two extra batteries one reg and one extended. I'd rather enjoy it all the way than deprive.

I downloaded lux from the market to try to bump up the auto brightness. I'm not sure it works though, I miss cyanogenmod's auto brightness settings.

Full Brightness
I didn't spend all this money for such a beautiful screen to deprive it. I have both my galaxy tab and nexus both turned up to 100%. I get about 2.5 hours of screen time on the nexus. The tab stays at home and is plugged in most of the time anyway so I don't know.

Coming from the Droid with an LCD, I find the AMOLED to be better under all conditions. Even at 100%, the Droid was barely readable in direct sunlight, even worse than the GN @ 40%.
Doesn't 100% brightness hurt your eyes indoors? I only use that when watching Netflix.

GS3 display is dim??

I was checking out the Galaxy S3 at my local AT&T store and noticed the display seemed dim compared to my GS2 but just figured it was the store lighting but after reading this review from Cnet I guess it might have been the GS3..
i would think having to crank up the display brightness to higher levels then need be on a GS2 would cause some considerable battery drain.
What are you guys finding coming from the GS2?

I didn't like the auto-brightness so I just manually do it. Most of the time I leave it at 100% and I have excellent battery life. But you can install a toggle or widget to adjust brightness. Also, there's a battery save option that lowers screen brightness, which might also be coming into play.

You're right it is not as bright. Especially compared to a Vibrant. It is however very usable. Most of the time I have mine turned down to either 50-75%

Wow.. If I left my GS2 at 100% or even 75 I wouldn't make it through the day on a full charge.. Not even close.. Kind of worries me now..
I get over 3 hours of display time a day now, what are you guys getting with the GS3 set at 100% and Mike's 50-75%?

Screen at 75% 12 hours since charged. 2.5 hours of screen time. 30 minute phone call. 45% battery left.

Since the screen isn't as bright as the GS2, 50-75% is probably what the GS2 did at 30-50%.
I keep mine at around 65% and usually get around 4-5 hours of screen on time per day. The phone easily lasts the whole day with medium usage.
Even at 65% my phone can still be easily seen in sunlight.

Nice.... actually sounds like the GS3 has better battery life then the GS2!!! Even with the display cranked up more then I presently use on my GS2...

Is anyone else noticing that the screen flickers when it dims down after the 15/30 seconds? I'm barely noticing this on mine now and its somewhat irritating..

Screen drains battery

Hello,
my gf has Nexus 5X and has been complaining about her battery dying way too fast. I didnt find any apps draining the battery or anything that would unnecessarily keep the phone awake. The thing I found though was that the screen uses 60-70% of battery in a bit over 2 hours of screen on time. She has her brightness set as low as possible while being able to read what its on the screen actually.
This has been going on through multiple versions of android, I tried a clean install couple weeks ago but that didnt help either. The battery health is also good.
Does anyone have the same experience with it or a solution to this?

Hi! I've noticed that display brightness causes some heat in the phone, specially in the camera area. So I decided to control brightness and phone temperature with Velis Auto Brightness (https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.velis.auto.brightness&hl=es_419). This app helped me control temperature and thus battery. You can try and tell me! Good luck! :fingers-crossed:

auto brightness

Running your pixel 2 xl on auto brightness is good or bad? Does it use more or less battery?

It doesn't use much battery compared to Adaptive Brightness off unless you keep your screen at something low like 10% or less the whole time.

I've always, even with previous phones, used manual brightness. Partly because I am usually happy with brightness to be kept at, for this device, at 15% and if I need to adjust Ill use Brightness Control. I also feel that battery life must surely be better as the sensor isn't constantly being used to gauge how bright the screen should be and lastly always found autobrightness to increase/decrease the screen brightness randomly, e.g. Say in my living room and it'll just increase/decrease slightly.
So ultimately I'm very happy just to manually adjust

Mine is set to.20% with auto brightness enabled. At most times it hovers very close to 20%. I guess if i disabled auto brightness i will get better battery life. At the moment i average 7 hrs SOT.
So what do you achieve in terms of SOT at 15% brightness

Brightness

Anyone else think the brightness is not very bright? I have turned auto brightness of but slider is on around 75 to 80% in normal conditions?

Seems fine to me. Depends entirely on what you are comparing it to, though.
With the brightness dialed all the way up, it looks either brighter or dimmer than my P2XL depending on the angle, so...

I have come from iphone x and (work phone) huawei p20 pro.
Right way up or 80% is fine but say half way 50% is loads lower than most other phones

The display could be brighter, I feel 100% should have been what 90% would be. 50 and below is too dark to be used at all imo.

If it just flat doesn't get bright enough for you you're kinda screwed. If you're wondering about auto brightness you gotta keep on cranking it up for a week or so before it starts giving in and giving you what you asked for; at least this was the case with my 3 XL. Seems to be the case here, mine is still slowly but surely getting brighter as I keep on dutifully upping it to the desired setting in various conditions. It worked very well before, the best I've used so far and I'm hoping the same will go on here.
The auto-brightness is supposed to be fairly intelligent BTW: As an example it's supposed to recognize the middle of the night and that your sleeping and turn the brightness down more with the same brightness information available than it would in the early evening when it knows you're awake. As an FYI the adaptive battery feature also seemed to need some time to figure out what it wanted to do. I had my 3XL for about a week last fall and the battery situation was slowly but surely getting better every day just like the auto brightness. No idea if either would have continued to improve after I sent that one back but they both needed time, that was for sure.
