Auto bright
Battery killer or good for battery?
Turn it off and leave at lowest brightness.

Unless you go outside.
Juice Defender Ultimate has some brightness settings that let you tune the auto brightness. You can get it a lot darker than you normally can, and change the way it ramps up and down.
I mainly use it as a way to keep the phone from blinding me in the car or desk dock at night and still letting itself ramp to full brightness in sunlight.
As long as you live under a rock, minimum brightness should work. If you do go outside, either use the power widget to quickly change settings or just use auto. i personally like auto.

And don't forget on manual brightness you can change brightness just by sliding your finger across the top.

Lol,I forgot about that handy little tool. I been chewing my kids out cuz they kept turning it up when i let em play on it.ot so I thought.
I had much more luck just long pressing the notification bar where I want the brightness. Swiping it gave mixed results.

That's a nice trick! Thanks. I had problems with the brightness not changing reliably when swiping. (User error no doubt)

Is anyone else having issues with the auto screen brightness? I'm in bed now with all the lights off and my screen is at it's brightest. As far as I can remember, the screen has never gone dim for me. I have always had to do it manually.

Mine seems to work. I always thought it worked based on where the bar is set prior to the checkmark.

I use Quick Settings to adjust the brightness. The auto on this phone definitely isn't working correctly.
Mine works just fine. Dim when it's bright around me, bright when it's dark around me.

I feel like mine does change some, but it never seems like it's a really accurate change to the condition... or maybe I just think it does, hmm.

That's backwards. You want the brightness down when it's dark, because less light is needed to see the screen, and up when it's light, because more brightness is needed to see the screen.
I as well have had issues with the auto brightness. It never seems to change. I manually set it, or leverage a widget.
Mine works but it adjusts too frequently. It was annoying to see it going brighter and dimmer every minute or two so I tuned it off and use a widget.
Thanks, Robrecht

I have always disliked auto-brightness. At night when I'm reading a book in bed, it is just way too bright at the lowest auto-bright setting. Though it was nice to automatically brighten up when I'm outside. Now days, I just stick an Android power control on the home screen and manage it myself. 0% for when I'm in bed reading books, 30% for normal every day use, 100% for when I'm outside. It seems to help the battery quite a bit too.
Its best to adjust it manually anyways... Just add a widget on your home screen lolz
What's best is not always whats preferred. It's little things like auto not working that make me miss my cyanogen'd droid 1

Same, but I came from a CM Eris
It allows you to decrease the brightness below the lowest stock setting. I use it constantly. My battery does seem to last longer with it. By how much? I couldn't tell ya. It's worth a shot though.

It's a great app, I used it all the time on my DX but the TB screen is so dim already I have no need for it anymore
Same as the guy above me. The TB minimum brightness is way lower than the DX. If you can see the screen while using it, I'll be impressed, more power to you!

So I'm using the factory camera and gallery, has anyone noticed how the display turns to crap when you view pictures? The color tone completely drops and makes the photos look dark and terrible. Is there a setting I may have turned on (or off)? Or is there something third party I should use perhaps?
Because when I view the photos on the PC using my nice HD display, its really not as bad as it looks on the phone.

I think it could be just the app itself and how it was written. But also adjusting the brightness can usually help. One reason I hate the pentile display. > <

I think it is being caused by 2 things.
1. Automatic brightness.
2. Settings -> Display -> Auto adjust screen power. (Although I thought this setting never worked, it sounds like the exact problem you're having)
I just use a brightness widget and a scroll of the top status bar to adjust my brightness all the time. The automatic brightness is pretty much unusable because I find it too dark most of the time.

The Skyrocket doesn't have a pentile display.
I wouldn't have purchased it if it did.

i've turned off the auto adjust, but i still have general auto brightness turned on. Still dims when in the gallery. i've noticed this on every skyrocket phone i've ran into, the pictures just look dark and dull when being viewed in the gallery.

Turn auto brightness off, this is the main reason I turned mine off. It will usually turn it to the lowest brightness in galleries and looks like ****. Auto brightness is garbage from the factory. There's suppose to be a better mod that checks nearly 100 times a sec and uses less power but I been too lazy to ask my friend for the name of it lol.

There's a post in q& a somewhere that explains the iso settings in different lighting environments. I usually just keep mine set to 200 and makes it alot better. Still darkens a little bit but not near as bad as it did before. I also noticed a difference turning the flash off.

The topic more or less was on the gallery view, not the actual camera quality. It takes pretty decent photos compared to what else is available.

Anyone having issues with auto brightness not functioning correctly? Many times ill notice it seems pretty bright for such a dark room. Fiddle with the brightness slider and then click auto and it's back to correct auto brightness. Happens on all jb roms I've used. Forget if I had this issue with gb and ics

Default values are too bright for me, adjusted them down to a reasonable level. (on CM10)
Hey guys again, I found a bit more information on this problem. Noticed while I was in bed with phone and it on auto brightness, when I turn screen on, it "recalculates" and even though it's a pitch black room, gives me maybe 30% more light? When I toggle brightness in my power widget through and back to auto it corrects and goes to lowest brightness. Any thoughts?

Mine works, but I had to tweak the default settings. By default, it only checks the ambient light sensor when you unlock the screen. I changed it to periodically sample so that it dims/brightens as the screen is on but ambient lights changes (e.g. Turning off bedside lamp).

Where exactly did you go to do that?

Don't remember everything, but here's my Settings/Display/AutomaticBacklight that I think are involved:
Enabled: checked
Window: 5s
Reset threshold: disabled
Sample interval: 1s
...
Allow light decrease: checked

What do you use for brightness. Auto? Full? 50%? Share!
Full looks best but image burn could be an issue with IPS displays..
Auto I feel like it jumps around too much depending on your lighting situation

Seems as though this thread should be in General Discussion.
At any rate, I usually steer towards Auto Brightness. On my Nexus 5, auto works just fine. Roughly 65% looks good to me and that's where mine usually stays with auto.
Why not add a Poll?
I never use Auto. Currently set to ~50%
Most of the time I'm almost at the minimum (indoors) and use Lux to adjust the brightness to a fixed level when I'm outside.
Can't add a poll :/ idk how to be honest. I tried editing the post on the website. Still nothing.
