Please specify what froyo rom you are using. 'froyo' is merely the coined name for Android 2.2...saying froyo doesn't specify which rom you're using. So, you saying froyo either means you are using cyanogenmod or you are using liberated froyo series.

That's normal if all you do is look at your phone with the display on! If you're using apps or making calls constantly then that figure will drop.

Has anyone seen a hack to change the default autobrightness for the fascinate? I am coming from the Droid X and this was an option offered by a user on this forum. I am asking this because I noticed that at the lower settings the screen is plenty bright enough to be usable and that the display alone consumes about 34% of my battery life. I am getting 8 hours on a full charge but more battery is always good. Any help or point inthe right direction would be awesome.
You dont need a hack to turn off auto brightness. Just go to sound and display settings and turn it off, then change brightness to whatever you want.

I turned off auto brightness on my fascinate and have the brightness set to max. I am a power user and my battery lasts about 10-12 hours easy... Then again I use a dark theme...
i don't think he's asking about turning off autobrightness, i think he's refering to the fact that if you have autobrightness set, the lowest it will go is about 33%. it could save battery life, and still have the advantage of automatically lightening when you need it if the autobrightness would go as low as 5-10%. if i'm understanding correctly. but no, i haven't seen a way to do that yet. sorry.

i dont know its just me or the screen is brighter than DI18 , bcz the screen even in the lowest brightness is killing the battery more than eclair .
I just got like 3 hours at screen usage , please let me know is a common "issue" or just me , or more tips to improve the battery performance bcz the phone can be like more than 5 days in standby like calibrate battery or something like that i dont know (i dont have the phone rooted)
Also the battery goes warmer than DI18 like 104 ºF i think is a normal temp for heave usage but i got less in DI18

Thought it was just me. I have brightness all the way down and it's STILL bright.
Will have to try out the app Top nurse recommended. If I have my phone hooked up to my PC and the brightness all the way down and i use it to send texts or surf, it actually drains my battery. Phone also gets really hot.
i´m going to try SyndicateROM - Frozen expecting it have the same brightness level of eclair DI18
What settings are you running with this app nurse?

For the time being I'm done with custom roms. I find that they introduce some quirk or the other that ends up annoying me. For now, stock and rooted, crap ware removed and getting decent battery life.

All it does is choose how bright the phones screen is, but it can go dimmer than the phones settings. Set t any number you want, just (caps lock for emphasis) DO NOT use zero.

Hi, I hope someone can help,
I flashed my Samsung Galaxy 3 I5800 with Kyrillos' ROM v6.0, NON-OC
Everything is working 100%, apart from one thing,
When I go to, Settings - About Phone - Battery Use
It is saying that my Display is using 86% of my battery???
Can someone help, I have the Display settings as follows,
Brightness = 10% / Auto-Rotate Screen ticked / No Animation /
Screen Timeout = 30 Secs, Power Saving mode Unticked.
My friends phone is only using 14% on the display.
Hi..
I'm sure this is a bug in all the froyo builds rolled out by samsung..
Even my phone displays about 90% on display all the time even though I keep the brightness to minimum..
But this thing is solved in the gingerbread builds.. I used CM7 Alpha 4 for over a month and the display battery use never got above 20%
Yup. Even mine shows a pretty high value.
clarkkov said:
This is not a bug, your display is actually using that much battery. Display is the biggest spender on this kind of devices.
Your friend is either:
1. not turning his display on that often
2. using the phones other peripheral hardware that much that the display is really at that percentage respectively to other hardware - this percentage of use is relative to absolute phone use
3. is lying to you

If you've noticed this happens only in froyo builds .. CM7 doesn't report display as the biggest battery hog

And you see the SG3 CM7 as the bug free OS?
That data is hypothetical anyway, and even if it works at least remotely accurate, it does so only on real genuine Android devices. SG3 is not a genuine Android device, you can't expect anything to work correctly on this device, tweaks, mods, advanced features etc. The whole OS is full with non standard and improvised features, remedies and solutions to work on this joke of a device (I'm now talking about both 2.2 and CM7).

CM7 is very well constructed if compared to froyo..
Talking about standards, we have to live with what we have got (even though its crap) or shell out huge amounts on high end phones..
Although cm7 isn't totally bugfree it displays a fairly correct report about battery use whereas all froyo reports is display and android os
Well it starts by 100% (duhhh).and your display is the thing where you press on so thats the thing you use alot xD

Anybody else experiencing this issue?
I looked everywhere but found no real solution.......
Tried flashing new rom no luck ...
This was quite common with the S2, what you can try is to power off your phone and remove the battery for 20-30mins, if the same issue occurs either the battery sensor is messed up or IDK.
Happened with my infuse in the summer out in the sunlight and i posted a topic in there about it. They say its normal
Well I tried this still not working .....

Same problem here. Even i charge my Note also is heating. Dun know why.
Screen bright again
I dont know what cause this problem, but I got the same thing on my phone. A temporarily solution is to install Brightness Level from Android Market. It does not fix the problem in the system settings but it makes your screen 100% bright again

Is there a way to remove this protection?
When I have the gps in the car I get that all the time, even if the phone is not hot at all, very annoying because with the sun and sunglasses -> cant see the screen very well.. stupid!
If you have one of those tpu softcases you will not know whether or not your note is hot just by the feel. Those cases are terrific insulators. I had overheating with the Note on GPS and charging. It actually shut down once and dropped out of the GPS signal a couple of times. Took the Nillikin case off and found that the whole phone was very hot.
After the case was removed I continued the trip with four days of continuous GPS and on charge with no problems. Even with the TPU naked, it still got pretty warm at the top half of the phone, but worked fine with brightness set pretty high. I think this is normal for the Note
[FiX] Galaxy Note ICS OVERHEATING PROBLEM SOLVED
[FiX] Galaxy Note ICS OVERHEATING PROBLEM SOLVED:
1 Go to settings- developer options - UNCHECK "Dont keep activities"
2 Use go launcher ex (or some other good launcher...) instead of default launcher
3 Instal from google play android assistant and use it to clean cache and stop most of background process
4 install from google play "cpu master free" (MUST HAVE ROOTED PHONE) and set 1000 MHz for MAXIMUM, and check box "set on boot"
P.S. DO NOT expect that your phone will be cold as ice after you do this...
ICS is build that you can use max. out of dual core, and galaxy note is pretty slim and back is made out of plastic...All that increase heating problem...
Hope i helped! =D
download the free version of "watchdog" and it will give you an alert if any software uses a lot of cpu power, you might have to go into setting and add system process to the watch list, you can also whitelist and blacklist program so they are killed as soon as they cpu usage goes above a certain level, though this might be pro version only.
Only use watchdog to find the problem and then remove it as it can use quite a bit of cpu power itself.

Having modded the framework for my rom to include lower brightness mod i can say that the values set in the decompiled framework are virtually the same as gb values infact brightness was increased at the lowest level from 32 in gb to 40 in ics with powersaving mode set to 32 in ics

I see no difference at 38 and below in LQ3. The lowest dim at 39. At 40 the brightness will then increase.

Hi legion =)
I most often use phone at 100% brightness simply just because I like it when the screen is bright and clear, colors appear nicely too on high brightness. And outdoors in sunlight its sometimes hard to see whats on the screen even though brightness is set to 100%. You were right about the burn-in. Can see some burn-in if looking very carefully, depending on what colors there are on the screen over the burn-int areas. But still they are so weak and hard to notice even when you know where to look for those areas that I will probably have bought a galaxy note 2 or maybe even 3 before they appear clearly visible and too annoying to endure

As you can read above i read about a mod for the htc one s wich improves battery-life by lowering the brightness of the screen when auto-brightness is on (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1638559)!
I was wondering if it was possible to port that to the nexus s? and if it is, is there somebody that could do that? ;D

+1 for this
Wtf ? You can set your own levels in CM9 or AOKP and that's exactly what this HTC mod does. Note: stock ICS lowest is 10 (11 on the HTC mod), so nothing's really changed lol. 10% battery save = fairy tale

Except CM9 custom levels aren't responsive for [email protected]?! on the Nexus S... Cannot say for AOKP. Takes way too long for the brightness to scale down compared to GB.
I tried it on aokp for a day now and my battery drained rly fast.. i didnt quite get it though how it worked!
I will just stay with constantly being on the lowest of brightness and only turn it up if i need it at a higher level.. probably the best for my battery!
