Been using lux for almost a year now but I don't have my G3 yet. I'll post my settings when I get it.
Been using lux since the day the app was released. Not sure I have mine tuned on the g3 yet (had d855 since release day)

Stock auto brightness can be too dim/bright at times. This allows you to tweak the auto brightness to your liking.
Thanks for this app. It's awesome! Stock auto brightness was way too dim. This is perfection!

You can customize what brightness levels your screen automatically sets for a given ambient light level (for example by default my screen is too bright at night or too dim during the day). But there are a lot more features than that there's a "Night Mode" which will adjust your screen color temperature to a warmer color temp at night (studies have shown exposure to blue light at night can mess with your circadian rhythm and ruin your sleep. There's also an "Astronomer mode" that puts a red overlay on your screen to preserve your night vision.

It also allows you to go lower than the lowest stock brightness (might require root?). I've found on many phones that the lowest brightness is still way too bright for certain environments.
Here are my current settings, it's going to take a while before I have then perfected but this is a start.

It won't break it? It will just mean that it won't adjust brightness properly when you are using the QuickCircle mode, it should start to work the second you open the case.

Its pretty broken.. Quickcircle becomes 100% useless and when you open the case it takes a second or two for brightness to adapt. its annoying and unnecessary. Not worth having the app if you have the case.

You can adjust the time that it responds to change, by default its set pretty high, I have lowered mine right down - its in the "brightness" setting.
Does this app impact battery life much?
Any bugs as reviews on Play store aren't great
just got paid version very nice app thanks
I bought this app but have since uninstalled it cause I find that the stock auto brightness does a pretty good job.

The broke part is not the time to live again, it is the simple fact that the clock or whatever widget is in the circle is black. To be specific the circle information needs to be on/displayed when the case is closed. I have had paid Lux across 3 phones and love it. Smart Window on Oppo works fine with Lux. Hope it can be fixed on G3.

I now have the case and see the issue, a workaround is to quickly open the case and close it again brightening it up.
I cannot see how it can be fixed though, the issue is the light sensor is being covered so it's keeping the display dark.
I suppose via a special setting we could set a default value for 0 lux?
Edit: I just emailed the Dev to see if there is anything he can do to help us.

Hi, so ever since ICS, or at least SCv7 (not sure if it did it stock, I switched right away), my screen has bee completely killing my battery
I still get perfectly fine life with the screen off, but it just drops right down with it on even not doing anything to heavy. Definitely a problem not normal.
Anyone have any ideas? Is this happening to anyone else?
P.S. Thanks for the new Q and A section by the way.

What are your screen settings at (levels, auto on/off, etc)? Screen is by far the biggest drain on battery. Check my Battery Guide, last Page for an app mentioned to lower brightness more than the stock settings will allow for- maybe that would help in certain instances. I haven't tried it myself, but will be doing so over the weekend, and if beneficial I will update the OP with it.
My SGS3 is the same as my A2 being that the screen gobbled up battery like crazy. So, I suppose you're not alone, at least with what I've experienced.
Not sure if any of this is helpful, but thought I'd share my thoughts...

I keep it on auto or low all the time. this is definitely a real problem, because it was nowhere near as bad on GB. now I know they fixed the cell standby issue, but I can literally see the battery go right on down when I turn it on. 3-4 hours on would kill it.
Maybe try with auto off for a while, see if you notice any difference.

Looking at your battery's discharge rate graph, looks pretty normal. There's no drastic drops in battery, it's fairly linear in discharge, and even if the screen is using most of that. However, there could be other culprits. What about sync, or haptic, or any of the other things I outlined in my guide? WiFi is off, from what I saw, but might not just be the screen. Have you tried editing build prop for "deeper" deep sleep or edits to other things? I'm going to update my OP with a few more things I thought of for improving overall battery life this weekend. Maybe some of the new ones will help...

I'm sure that the display is eatin more than GB ....
i didn't see display going >50% in GB ..... now on ICS its like always >=70%
i have 2nd system as MIUI from "rdavisct" when i switch to it & come back to ICS
then my battery calibration scrambles ... i did switchin yesterday & it showed me
30% far early than expected
Same problem here..my screen draining 57%
Why don't you try the app betterbatterystats it's here in xda:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=15869868
This may help to see the real problem of the fast battery drain you said, also you can install the app rootDim from the playstore to custom your screen brightness.
I hope this helps.

The brightness doesn't return back to the User's set preference after snapping a photo despite what the level says, once you move it, it readjusts back to what the value would be if you had done so before.
I plan on logging the bug and posting it back here for you all - I've already sent it to liquid.

Also, Liquid thinks that the bug is related to either a Camera Wrapper Hal Limitation or a bug in CM.

Correct, it will show the same level in the brightness adjustment bar, but the brightness itself will be brighter until I move the brightness adjustment bar from left to right then it readjusts to what that brightness level was originally.
Do you follow me?
Say I set the brightness bar at 25% okay, then I take a photo and the brightness gets brighter than the originally set 25%, but the brightness bar is still set at 25%, so I have a false display of what my real brightness level is, it could be really set at 40%, so I move the brightness bar a bit to calibrate it, and then the screen dims back down to what was originally the 25%.

Light sensors detect the surrounding light levels through a sensor on your phone. For example: if your outside it will detect bright levels and will automatically raise your backlight levels making visibility better. You can tweak these settings by hitting : System settings, display, automatic backlight , check Use custom, then edit other levels. ....
And no, there not associated with camera brightness. Camera has its own settings for that.

Who's Keith?? Haha Just compare mine to default settings on yours. I only changed the first 5 down under screen. That's how I learned . Its great once you gain control. You'll see a massive difference in screen brightness. And its great because this is one of the main factors in battery life.And although I changed those settings, I still keep auto brightness checked under brightness, under display. Their just tweaked.

I'm confused as to why people are treating this as a bad thing.
Go buy an iPhone if you want your hardware limited.
I suspected as much. Doesn't give the text on mine, but the throttle is most certainly there. It's bloody annoying.
On, off, on, off, on off... This thing should come with an epilepsy warning. Fine, I'll just keep it at 99.9%, then. Marvellous solution there Samsung/Google.
It is incredibly annoying!

Thermal throttling is an amazing thing. It allows you to have as much performance as possible without damaging the hardware.
Apple sets their maximum performance very low so as to never need to throttle. If you want your N3 never to need to throttle, turn the settings down.
And this is a bad thing... because? It's to avoid hardware damage

for me the problem is that the thermal throttling kicks in (or, better described: on off on off on off) even at
minimum brightness levels, so i doubt it has any thermal impact on these low levels. there it's only annoying, nothing more!
it would make more sense if the thermal throttling of the display only activates over some brightness level, where the reduction HAS an impact on the thermal situation!
but this are just my 2 cents...
I really don't think these measures are put in for sh*ts and giggles but yeah you only paid $700+ who cares if by preventing this it'll cut down the life span of the phone or help reduce screen burnin

Tapatalk is retarded when it comes to attachments.
Thermal throttling is good to avoid damage to hardware.
And for your own health, is advise don't use 100% brightness, this is way too bright, it will eventually slowly damage your eye.
I had no idea how could you stand 100% brightness, don't you think it is over kill bright?

The only complaint I have seen so far is that you can now activate the Google Now arc by dragging up from any of the capacitive buttons. It used to be just the home button. Many people apparently are hitting the back or recent apps buttons and accidentally dragging up, causing the phone to do the Google Now arc rather than back or show recent apps.
I have noticed that about the Google arc... Its annoying to me that I have to be more precise with my button pounding
Also my screen has randomly been shutting off as if the timeout is set at 15-20 sec (actually set at 5min.) Turns on with no lag once I hit the power button. Like I said it seems random to me. Anyone else see this?

The camera is consistently good which was my biggest complaint before. In addition my data seems to have improved at my desk. I had been getting around 5 mpbs now I am getting close to 14 consistently. Thats about all I have really noticed. I miss 4.3 and its better location services from my gnex, but hopefully kitkat will be here soon.
PS the google now arc appears more often. until I read this thread i didnt realize it was because of the update. Have not noticed the capacitive lights either, but it sounds like a plus.
Everything seems fine to me. I havent really noticed any changes. My 4G was always pretty good. I havent used the camera enough to say anything about that yet. I havent noticed the google now arc at all.
My only complaint is the google arc everything else is positive. I don't think the arc will be in 4.4 anyway google now is on the left screen when you swipe on the stock launcher I believe.

I have noticed more time without signal with the latest update.
Also, the bigger problem is that the car mount no longer charges the phone. All other chargers work just fine, but for whatever reason, the car mount doesn't charge anymore. It senses it still and knows it's in the car, but uses battery instead of charges.

I'm not real happy with the "improved" wireless charging. It won't connect to my Tylt charger as consistently as it did before, so it's randomly disconnecting/reconnecting. This is especially annoying since I charge my phone on my nightstand at night. That coupled with there being no discernible way to turn off the WirelessChargingStarted sound, I have had to take my phone off the charger in the middle of the night every night since the update as it keeps waking me up.

Can you post a screenshot of how much battery is used when an active notification is left on for an hour or more?

I believe that IPS are using 100-150% more battery than AMOLED
this is like 23 hours screen time

@Cameron581 what ROM are you using and if you use pocket mode with active display does the screen stay off ?

is that even legit? Hahaha afaik, only amoled can do this type of work efficiently because only the individual pixels that is used in that notification font is using power and each pixels act as an individual LED, while the other remain in "off" state. Other display tech implement a row/column of light from the lcd periphery to shine throughout the whole display. Requiring more power and shining through all those unused black pixels making it less efficient.

confused as to why you are focusing so much on battery efficiency. the question was if we had it. We have that. Either in app form with Dynamic Notification, or baked into a ROM with Beanstalk.

Just so that the OP would be clear of the drawback if the feature were baked into a rom or app. I never try it honestly, but if it does it, wonder will it ever come close to battery life like on moto x which the display tech support natively.

I haven't had any noticeable battery decrease while using Dynamic Notification.
I think about it more like this. If you have one blinking notification light, you have to turn the screen on to check it. that means your screen has to turn on the back light + light up all the pixels with color depending on the wallpaper. with Dynamic Notification. I only see a small number pixels and a black background for maybe 3 seconds before I dismiss the notification. Read it. done with it. that saves both time and battery life. I haven't done any real comparisons between turning on the screen to see messages or using this app, but I can still get 2-3 days of use out of the phone with it, so I'd say get it.

You are talking about the moto x's amoled display rite? Cause it doesn't work that way with moto G's LCD display.
here there is a good project in progress for this moto x apps.

I don't think anyone really even said it wasn't possible, so this patting-own-back stuff comes off a little forced.
