Hi, i am kind of fedup when my Low Batt warning keep on popping up when the battery level hit 40%.Can the low Batt alarm setting be adjusted to sound at lower level of low battery, like about 20%.
Thanks
try Low Battery Notification Fix at http://www.yorch.net/apps.htm :wink:
Thank you very much for the information thread.
You are most welcome, Intruder
But for me, I like the low batt warning to be at 40%, but i only use the sound & vibration notifications, without the popup message on screen 8)
hello.... i have my new Galaxy Tab on my hands 2 hours now and i use it.....! i recognize that when the battery is low and and the screen light go low, when i unlock it or press a button the screen light stays low! do you know if this is a problem or i can do something for this?
When the tab hits 10% battery level the screen dims substantially from whatever brightness level you have it at. Then even if you press a button it will remain at this low setting so there's nothing to worry about,the tab is just trying to conserve the little power it has left until you can charge it.

Some tabs including mine are having battery issues. All of the sudden the battery indicator will go to zero. I have tryed all of the remedies here on xda to no avail. It seems to be a problem with the android system.
Evo screen is brighter than most phones with AUTO light sensor on = more battery drain.
Just found app "screen adjuster". It works along with LIGHT SENSOR. I'm setting it to 50%. So it's half the brightness and you keep the auto sensor on.

Going to try it out. I've thought the same thing for a long time. Thanks for the suggestion!
Tried this app out not sure how much battery it would save replacing the brightness with an app constantly running in the background considering it has to run 24/7 to maintain the brightness level I doubt it would save any battery if not kill it faster than the brightness level since 1. Brightness is off when screen is off but this is still running while screen is off and 2. The brightness only goes all the way up when you are in bright light so you can see the screen setting the app at 50% is really pointless since on auto the screen is at 50 - 70% when you are indoors

I think your points are valid, but just wanna throw out that I think the OP is saying the baseline screen brightness is too high. At all levels.

It only sets Max at whatever level u set it to then autos from there, and it runs ~5mb ram constantly so it really doesn't do a whole lot it just sets, as an example, u set it to 80% with the app then on auto ur brightness goes from min to 80% and back to min or in between the two it doesn't dim all levels, and runs constantly so I would say its more trouble than its worth it would be nice if u could just set a lower Max and not need the app running 24/7

There MANY processes constantly running in the background, the OS is smart enough to pause most of these processes when in sleep mode (display off). For example, if you use the light sensor and your phone is off the sensor is not being polled anymore.
Setting 50% means if the brightness is normally at 100 it would be 50, if it was normally 50-70 indoors it would be really be 25-35 with the app.
Or a lower baseline, which I believe is the OPs point. But yes, running an extra ap is an inefficient way to do that.

The app doesn't pause it runs as a notification task killers don't touch it, and it doesn't work the way u think in lower light it will stay at 50% it just prevents the screen from going past where u set it it doesn't change the values of anything in the sensor just stops the screen from going above x% so if ur in a bright room where ur screen would be at 50% and u have it set to 50% it would still be at 50% not 25%, what I'm trying to say is the app doesn't work the way its advertised

This was on my list of things to be fixed nearly from the start but nobody, especially devs, seemed to care.

Display brightness
Based on experience what are the optimal display settings for the best battery life?
lol 0% is the optimum setting. really, the more its off, the more you save. the less its off, the more you save. its really up to your eyes and what you can tolerate. i just have a widget, at night i flip it to 0, and during the day if i'm out doors and in doors i leave it on auto, and if i'm indoors like at work, i leave it at 25%. what sucks is i don't smoke in my apt, so when i wake up i go outside for a cig and my screen's at 0, and i'm trying to read it in the sunlight to turn it back on lol... buuuuuut, i'm sure my way saves more battery than using an app that is constantly running
Huge annoyance.. Anyonr know how to turn off the feature that lowers phone brightness to unusable levels once under 5%?
Was wondering if anyone has found a way to force the brightness back to normal once the phone hits sub 5% battery.
On my Note2 and S2 i was able to use Root Dim, which was fantastic btw since it comes with a widget to just hit max brightness with one touch. However on the s5 i's a no go. I grant it root access, use the presets or move the slider but the brightness still won't exceed the automatic dim settings.
I use the extended batteries on all my phones, so that last 5% really lasts a long time and the super dim screen just makes the phone range from annoying to unusable.
anyone have any other *bright* ideas?!
(see what i did there?)
