Anyone else notice that the screen brightness is ALWAYS at 100% when auto-brightness is on? The only thing that changes is the keyboard backlight. It will either be on or off, depending on the lighting I'm in. The screen, on the other hand, always seems to be at 100%.
That's not true for mine. Granted, it doesn't change much, but it is definitely not full brightness most of the time unless I'm in bright sunlight. I'd be happy if I could set the range. It's usually brighter than I need it to be.
Mine is also always at 100%. I just use a widget to toggle 2%, 50%, and 100% without Auto as a setting. The screen is actually efficient enough that you I've gone all day at 100% without really draining my battery too much. Right now my phone has been unplugged for 14 hours and the battery is at 55%.
Yea mine is like that. I see no difference between auto and high. It doesn't even go down at all.

just curious what is everyone brightness setting and how is your battery life
i like mine at 30%
battery life good, as you can see in the big battery life topic
30% seems to perfect for me too
just enough to hide the lines, and gets around 15 hours with a ton of use.

you forgot to mention at that setting it makes the images more vivid
while you can save more power by having it at 20% or even 15%
but then the images looks like any other regular SLCD display, or even pale if you set it lower than that
I love in Arizona where the sun can be very bright so most of the time i'm at near full brightness

55% brightness is perfect for me. I found it's the correct setting if you use the stock browser at manual brightness also. Meaning if you turn off auto brightness in the stock browser you can't match the brightness setting with the screen. If you ever tried it you can get exactly 50% on the screen, but the browser only goes slightly below or slightly above 50%. It's a minor detail, but it urked me every time I opened the browser, and the brightness changed.
Anyway, at 55% brightness I get about 18 hours of battery life, and within that my "screen on" time is anywhere from 3 and half, to 4 and a half hours. Depending on what I'm doing. Basic browsing last longer. Games shorter.
I always keep mine at 100% to really use the Super AMOLED screen to its greatest capacity. My battery life varies, with consistent usage, I get a good 4 - 6 hours. I'm currently using the Juggernaut ROM
In a bright room I just leave brightness off. It seems sufficient enough as it is. Outside in sunlight I use 30%.
I always notice my Galaxy Nexus gets quite warm when the screen is on. I was unsure whether this was due to CPU/data usage or something else. Then I noticed that if I leave the screen on while charging, the phone is warm near the top. (Even after fully charged overnight.) With screen off, a fully charged phone is totally cool.
Overall the batter life seems quite short on this phone. Even with just light usage like reading articles, the batter seems to drain quite quickly.... and I have a feeling it is the screen that is doing this.
So I did a very unscientific test: 10 Minutes screen timeout, both set to auto brightness indoors, screens look about the same brightness level.
Galaxy Nexus LTE: Started 68% and ended up at 63% .. had been 63% for a little while so I bet it was about to tick over to 62%. Top of the phone and screen was quite warm. That ends up being 30% battery per hour just to have the screen on and at low-moderate brightness.
Droid X: Started at 94% and just ticked over to 93% right before turning off. Phone totally cold to the touch. Comes out to about 6% per hour.
On my Droid X, I could sometimes get 4 hours of screen-on time on one battery charge -- this would usually happen with light usage like just reading wikipedia articles, etc. Not data intensive stuff. I haven't had the Galaxy Nexus long, but it seems getting over 2 hours is tough. (Both phone I keep on auto-brightness, and it actually seems like Droid X keeps the screen brighter in general.) This is with the same usage patterns and I have the same software configured on both .. syncing the same way, etc. (Touchdown Email and full Google syncing, plus weather app and a few other things.)
In airplane mode on the Droid X, like on an airplane, I used to be able to watch videos for like 5 hours using MX Player easily and have batter to spare. (Hardware acceleration.)
At the battery drain I'm seeing on the Galaxy Nexus, a full charge battery would be dead in about 3h 20m just by having the screen on and the phone totally idle! That can't be right. The screen brightness is pretty low on auto brightness and that's just abysmal.
Anyone else seeing this on their Galaxy Nexus?
Just another test -- all phones on airplane mode. (All radios off) Brightness matched as closely as possible. (Fascinate was slightly brighter than other two but it has a smaller 4" AMOLED screen so I figured it was ok.) All phones on battery status screen.
Droid X Started at 89% ended at 88%. Phone totally cold.
Galaxy Nexus SCH-i515 Started at 56% ended at 52%. Phone warm at top.
Samsung Fascinate SCH-i500 - Started at 93% ended at 92%. Phone totally cold.
Fascinate is running ICS 4.0.1 with a gingerbread kernel. Forgot which build of ICS.
Anyway, this can't be right -- only 24% per hour at this rate with all radios off for Galaxy Nexus but even with that, just sitting there idle at the battery status screen would kill the battery in a little over 4 hours.
And I had the Galaxy Nexus on auto brightness but the when I unchecked it, the equivalent manual brightness was about 10% from the left on the slider. (Very dim as I'm inside my apartment right now.)
I will try again with the slider at max brightness....
*SIGH*
OK, WTF! I set my Galaxy Nexus to maximum brightness and did the test again.
Start 52% and after 10 minutes 49%. I don't understand how the usage is less with the screen at maximum brightness! Phone is only very slightly warm at the top too. Much cooler than previous tests. I wonder if this is the auto-brightness feature causing excessive CPU cycles?
Will try again with brightness set to 10% (similar to auto brightness) but with auto brightness unchecked....
Start 49%, end 47%. Only 2% drop in 10 minutes. Phone feels cold at the top.
One more try with auto brightness enabled again:
Start 47%, end 45%. Phone feels cold at top now.
I don't know what is going on... anyone else seeing similar things?
(PS I have LTE disabled since I get a very weak signal in my apartment as it is and I didn't need it hunting back and forth.)
I can kill the phone in about 2 1/2 hours at full brightness as well.
I have had my Galaxy Tab S 10.5 for about a month. My battery seems to deplete very fast, about 10% every 30 minutes. I only use the tablet for reading books on Kindle, looking at my emails, and reading the news. The battery settings show that 57% is being used by the screen, 29% by Touchwiz, 5% by the Android System, and lesser amounts by other sources. I have my display settings set to Automatic Brightness and Adaptive Display.
I understood that I could expect about 8 hours battery life but I am lucky to get 5 hours. I have not watched videos or played games on the tablet as yet. I was wondering if this battery life is normal or should I be expecting more.
I usually start recharging once the battery shows around 30% and it then takes about 4 hours to charge to 100% again.
Auto Brightness and Adaptive Display take up power constantly checking ambient light and making adjustments. Better off disabling both and setting the brightness manually, I have mine set on Amoled Cinema and a brighness of about %20 - %25, it's pretty easy to read indoors at those settings.
Another thing, the more light colours on the screen the more current the display uses, amoled displays are like that, so your better off having a dark background and light text than the reverse, I always use the dark or black theme options in apps that give you the choice.
Thank you for your reply. I have turned off auto brightness and adaptive display. I agree the Cinema setting looks fine. Thanks again for your help.

Typically, it takes about 4-5 hours to charge. To me I think lollipop charges a bit faster.

Annoyingly I have not got lollipop. I have tried to update the system manually but it says the tablet is up to date. Why is it some have it and other do not?
I found this battery calibration guide, it says it`s for phones but it will work for tablets too.
John.
You can calibrate the battery like this before you decide to buy a new one
Fully charge the battery with the phone on and when the phone is fully charged, unplug the charger and turn it off
When your phone is off, plug it into the charger and let it charge to 100% again. The green LED light will indicate when this is done.
Next unplug the charger, turn on your phone and set the option to ensure that your screen doesn’t turn off, if you have this option. Then reconnect to the charger and wait for it to charge again to 100%.
Once charged to 100%, unplug the charger again and do not charge until the smartphone turns itself off after reaching a 0% battery level. Once off, fully charge it again and it should work properly. The screen setting can put back to normal again (meaning turn off after a certain amount of time).

Thank you, I will try that. Thanks again.
I am daily driving the 6 pro, and the battery is not as good as the 5, is there a way to downscale the resolution to 1080p or make the phone to run at 90hz?
60hz would save more battery... found this.
Remove unecessary notifications for one, disable 5G aka put it in LTE, lower the brightness less taxing on your battery, you can restrict apps so they don't wakeup your phone.
I am using the 6 pro about a month now, here is what I did and my battery life is now lasting the full day with about 20/30% at evening time
1) changed refresh rate from 120hz to 60hz
2) switch off music identifier on lock screen
3) switch off always on display (clock on lock screen)
Wake up at 5am with 100%
Now 6pm 64% of the battery
I like it
