I don't understand what your asking.
Was it happened after exit camera? Stock HTC camera app will set brightness to 100%. When you exit the app, it should restore the brightness you set. But sometimes it stuck at 100%. You have to manual set it again.

Try this - using power control widget turn the brightness down to the lowest level. Then drag the notification bar down, and then without releasing your finger drag it all the way up. Brightness goes up. Weird huh? (LauncherPro, not rooted_yet)

Put your finger on the top edge of the screen. Drag your finger to the left and right... Oh... the screen goes from dark to brighter and back again... Not so weird, it's made that way.

Ha, so that's why my brightness mysteriously keeps going up from time to time.
Is there a way to turn this "feature" off?

Set your brightness to automatic in the settings.

Yeah, but then the brightness is higher than I want it.
I am trying to extend my battery life, so I'd rather the brightness stays at the lowest setting.
The problem is, I am not sure it's helping so much. Right now, it has been just short of 8 hours since the phone was plugged in. The battery is at about 50%.
Voice Calls account for 52%.
Display for 19%
Standby for 10%
Phone Idle for 7%
Skyfire for 5%
The problem is, voice calls show total time of 26 minutes 19 seconds.
Display shows 54 minutes 47 seconds.
Skyfire shows 23 minutes 47 seconds.
That's pretty light usage, IMO.

In the settings menu, right under screen timeout, there's a powersaver mode or something similar. If you read the subtext on it, it says something about examining the display and adjusting brightness based on what's being displayed. If you haven't already, try turning that feature off; but you may end up hurting battery life, which is opposite of your ultimate goal, I believe.
This is on firmware JG1 for European phones...
Thanks!
Classic "it's not a bug, it's a feature" situation
As to the battery life I find it very underwhelming.. This morning before leaving for work I had 33%. On my way(which is literally 15 minutes) I was listening to a podcast and by the time I got here it dropped do 15% :/ GPS, 3g, WiFi off...

Battery life always suck on all the phones. I think the app BeyondPod, that I use, is especially hard on the battery for some reason. On my N1, I expect 8-12% battery drop per hour when listening to podcasts for some reason.

Dunno.... My battery died yesterday after less than 13 hours, with fairly light use: the biggest drain was voice calls, which accounted for less than 30 minutes in total
I've had the phone for only a few days, so I sure hope it's just battery conditioning. My old iPhone would last 2 days with similar use.
O.K. Fully discharged yesterday, charged overnight.
Now, 8h29m since plugged, the phone shows 35% battery.
41% use by voice calls (20 minutes!)
Display 30% (1h8m at the lowest brightness)
Cell standby 11%
It's not going to last through the day, again With barely any use).
I sure hope this gets better over the next few days.
dam tahts crazy! didnt know it could do that lol
This is not a glitch, if you drag your finger from the left top corner to the right it will higher the brightness and same goes ford the other way

so how do people get 3-5 ma battery drain?
mine always shows around 60ma and around 300 in home screen.
does that depend on the build or the apps installed and settings?
i cant figure out
It depends on all kinds of things. You do know you will only get a low current draw with the screen off right? Here are some things you might like to consider for longer battery life...
1. GPS on all the time?
2. Wifi on all the time?
3. Email sync frequency?
4. Screen brightness setting?
5. Install SET Cpu and create a profile for 'screen off' and set it to just above the minimum
6. Leaving processes and Apps running in the background
7. Time of day ;p
8. Number of widgets
9. Live wallpaper
10. Other stuff I haven't listed.
Usually it works after some resets and sometimes using another build can work. But if you've never had a low drain you might wanna try an other sd card. Borrow one from a friend and see if t that fixes anything.

yes thats what im looking at is standby drain of 60ma with screen off.
i have a regular wallpapaper some low res pattern.
wifi off, gps on 3g on
email sync every 30 min
im not really sure what counts as widgets(google search bar power panel?)

i make sure the keypad lights are on before clicking haret and i get <10ma standby on the first boot every time
I had the same problem, constant drain of 60-80ma even in airplane mode. I flashed to different radio and now i get 5-9ma all the time, how you boot or what you do in win-mo doesn't mater some builds just work with a specific radio. I use 2.14.50.04 for my t-mobile HD2, works great with desire builds.
Guys, can anyone tell me what does "ma" mean? And how to check it on the phone?
Thanks

It stands for milliamp hours and install 'current widget' from the Market to check it. Once installed, turn your screen off, leave for at least two minutes and then the widget will tell you.
PS lower is better.

Never thought "ma" is "mA"
Thank you so much
how does a phone go from 70ma to 6-7ma standby consumption overnight?
today my battery was at 90% after 8 hours.
yesterday it was at 46% after similar standby time

I haven't used setcpu in ages and I still get 4/5 ma in standby. It's kernel dependant, not cpu dependant. the ONLY thing SetCPU is good for now is overclocking for pointless benchmarks.

Could be you were having reception issues the night you were having high drain and it was searching for signal a lot, or if you have it switching to a roaming service. Had it happen to me a few times.
Hi Guys,
Since I have BroodRomRC2 with Cranium v6 Kernel my battery stats are weird. It sais my display is using a lot of battery, but I have set the lowest brightness there is. I already tried to fix it by resetting Battery Stats in Recovery... What can I do?
Sent from my GT-I9001 using xda premium
It's normal having display usage around 50%, the only way to make it last longer is displaying dark images, since super amoled screens waste more battery with bright images than dark ones, 'cause we have not retroillumination but each pixel is emitting his own light. Dark/Black backgrounds, dark themed apps etc improve battery time.
Mine with heavy use is around 40%. Dark background, black themed GOsms, black gReader, and so on..
BTW, wrong section
One thing i have realised since i have switched off automatic brightness and set screen to lowest brightness. Androids own browser is using more brightness than other programs. That is one of the reasons i have started to use other browsers.
brightness setting

Press the menu u'll see brightness setting. Change it. The default browser is the best
If your screen is the biggest consumer of energy it means you have a very batterysaving rom be happy with it !
Anybody else got battery drain while listening to music? (mediaserver drains about 40% when only music is on)
After I set my brightness level to lowest (non auto), about 4 hours later it displays medium bright. When I try to adjust the level, the meter has no affect to actual brightness. This starting occurring after I updated to 4.2.1. I've switched to the stock deoxed 4.2.1 also to the nightly and the same occurs. Is any one else getting this?
Sent from my Nexus 4 using xda app-developers app
I'm getting the same behavior. This just started happening maybe a week ago. My phone just stops responding to changes in the brightness settings, and it doesn't matter if I try to change it in the power control widget or the actual manual brightness setting. A reboot corrects this, but it's pretty annoying. I'm still totally stock btw. (no root, unlocked bootloader)
Anyone know how to reset Adaptive Brightness?
Normally it's in the Device Health app but seems that we don't have it on the 8 Pro.
I was looking for it also. Cant find it
You can grab the apk from ApkMirror

I just turn adaptive off. I never knew there was another option other than on or off
Same here, I have mine turned off...
