On the Magician you could set the screen brightness to whatever you wanted but when it was plugged into mains power the screen would go as bright as it could.
I can't seem to do this with the o2 mini s. I like to keep the brightness about halfway when on battery but want it to go to full brightness when it's on mains power (USB, car charger etc).
Is there a way to do this?
cheers

Can the screen go any dimmer besides the backlight control?
Acer C500 is too bright, my eyes hurt badly.
I too have wished to be able to dim the screen on my x51v more than the brightness control does. That way I can conserve battery power.
Does anybody know if backlight is LED or CCF? I am planing on leaving Streak's screen permanently ON (low brightness) overnight as an alarm clock, and that would eventually kill CCF lamp, but should be OK for LED.
Thanks!
Hey up. the clock app in 2.2 has a brightness button that seems to turn the backlight off, and its a pretty nice screen too. should be ok.
You have to leave the screen on to use it as an alarm clock?
Yes
Yes, I would prefer to see the time when I wake up (sometimes) in the middle of the night. LEDs have practically unlimited life, usually 50-100K hours, but cold cathode fluorescent lamps loose brightness with time.
I'm sure no modern phone uses a cold cathode.

Anyone else notice any certain conditions that cause their N7 to NOT allow the screen to be turned on? There was a situation where I had my N7 in my glove box in 30 degree weather for 30 minutes (while in a store) and when I got home the N7 wouldn't turn the screen on (full battery before going into the glove box). Then randomly while pressing or holding the power button the screen would come on and I can continue use of it (it doesn't reboot or power up, it just "responds").
Next is why does the N7s battery drain if watching a video (downloaded) with the brightness high or low while plugged into a charger? Both 2.1 Amp and 1 Amp ports have the same effect. I have also noticed that sometimes the N7 will charge faster on a 1 Amp port vs 2.1 Amp. It is the weirdest thing.
BTW I am on CM 10.1
I came from a Nexus 5 and had to always leave my screen brightness on about 1/3 in order to preserve battery. After playing with my 6P for over a month, I feel like the battery can handle a brighter setting (with my usage). But, I have concerns about burn-in if I put the setting too high since this is an AMOLED panel.
What brightness settings are you using and have you had any issues with burn-in?
I will get this started. I first started by activating the Adaptive Brightness under the display settings.
It makes the screen dimmer - to my eyes even though it sets the overall brightness to exactly half way.
I thought my whites looked somewhat grey at that setting so I turned it off and put my screen back down to 1/3 (LOL) and I am pleased with the results - especially at night as the whites look whiter.
anything past half at night burns in my retinas much less the screen.
I have not noticed any less Screen on time. I still get about 4.5 - 5 hours until it hits 15%. This is with location turned on and email push. I don't use twitter, facebook or any of those social apps the young people are using these days.
Is there an easy way to dim the screen to the point where you can't see the picture? I stream the phone in my car, which means it will get hot with charging, screen on, and high usage simultaneously. Since it is an AMOLED screen, it would not allow for screen off like other devices. Seems like without this, burn in would be a big problem for me.
I would think that you could just do the 2 finger swipe to bring it to the default menu. Then set the slider down as low as possible until you can barely see anything. I took a 5 hour drive today with my Nexus 6P with the girlfriend and had it plugged in for at least 2 hours at a time. My phone did not get really warm while either plugged or when running on battery.
Also I have enabled the System UI Tuner and now my phone screen only stays on when plugged into the power source if I select "stay on when plugged in"

No burn in issues? I would think there is a way to reduce brightness beyond stock but I don't know enough to do that at this point. Perhaps through Xposed it something.

I had a gnex that I kept on low brightness and refused to get another nexus until battery was straightened out. On my dmaxx, I kept the brightness high and no burn in on the amoled. The 6p isn't as good at battery, despite being huge, but it's good enough. I keep it on 60-100 brightness, using lux to adjust it as needed. No burn in so far
I have a wireless charging cradle that I put my G6 on overnight. It's allowed me to get rid of my old school alarm clock. The problem is that the time display is a little too dark for my tastes. I don't want it bright and blaring but a little bump would be nice.
For comparison, my wife has a Galaxay S8 with the same charger on her side of the bed and hers is brighter and easier to read without being obnoxious.
I do not use the always-on display during the day but have it set to come on between 10pm and 6am which is typically when I'm in bed and the phone would be charging.
I looked but do not see a way to adjust the brightness of the always on display nor do I see a setting to bump up the brightness while on charge. Am I missing it?
No specific option to increase brightness while charging. You can enable "brighter" AOD in the AOD options menu, but it basically prevents the AOD from dimming too much. You can use an app like Lux to adjust things like this.
