I was at 50% but it just looked too dark and made the whites look gray. Now I'm at 70% and it looks much better, but I don't want to lose too much battery life. What say you bros?

70% is my personal sweetspot. It does however take a toll on battery life but doesn't really matter if im near a charger. Away from home I'll set it at 50%. I would spend $100 on a battery charger case if it were available. But maybe soon we will see one.

Without wishing to state the bleeding obvious, the one most appropriate to the ambient or incident light level. Auto based on 55% for me, but it's so subjective (and dependent on the panel) that you won't get a single objective "answer", just loads of different answers.
Honestly, since I'm usually at work which is a dimly lit restaurant, I always have mine set to 0%. If I go out at night, even at 0 it's still super bright. Anything above 30 at night legitimately hurts my eyes.

I'm photophobic (my eyes take in more light than they're supposed to), so I keep mine set to 0 indoors and about 50% outdoors.

I don't know anything about photophobia, but I'm with this guy. 0% inside and whatever I need to use outside to see it 30%-50%

I debating on just leaving my screen brightness in high. When I had my hd2 it was always set to high and I really liked the way it looked with my background pics which is full of color.

I noticed that as well, even in the dark it is ultra bright. When I had a Cliq it let you set the brightness and it worked auto from there. Does anyone know if there is a way to adjust the range brightness/dim that the auto uses?
I use auto because tge screen looks nice an it does save battery. I had my g1 in 10% because of battery life

Iirc the n1 has a teal blue led as well as a dark blue one. What seems to be the issue?

Its the camera flash LED. It used to be pure white. The one day I noticed it had turned blue. Pictures taken with the flash on a blue washed if you will. That's the only minor issue. It doesn't bother me much. Just curious to see if anyone else's had done the same.

oohhh the camera flash LED i though you were talking about the led ball on the front side of the phone haha.
so when the flash activates for a picture, instead of flashing white it flashes a blue-ish light now? i havent experienced that issue personally myself, sorry
Yeah it flashes blue and in a darkish area when taking pictures it causes the pictures to come out bluish. Like I said, just curious if I'm the only one or if it is something others are experiencing. Doesn't bother me too much.

My Desire is the same now. I blame it on me using the flashlight on Death ray mode too often. I assume its half burned out.

Rarely use it as a flashlight; instead I use a bright screen via 'Color Flashlight' app. Mine is still white.
Sent from my Nexus One using XDA
Well I found it hard not to use it since it is better than any flashlight I have owned and didn't drain the battery much for the amount I was using it. Better than worrying if your flashlight battery is going to die (no gauge on them)

Abuse the led and it will start dying, big surprise. I suspect walmart has better flashlights than the N1's led, but any decent flashlight will kill it on both flexibility (low to full output), battery life, and of course output.
Look up Fenix. Cheap, work well. Get a 10 pack of 123 batteries online for $15 and it'll last you 5 years or more.
I find the camera always worked better in well lit areas without use of the flash anyways so I don't blame the phone for the led burning out and it doesn't bother me that much. At least it still works.

Lol yeah same here. I got me a surefire 1000 lumen led flashlight now. Brighter than anything I've ever seen. But the blue led looks cool on my Nexus lol.
Sent from my Nexus One using xda premium
After using it for a while and after the LED gets hot, its color will distort. It is a problem with the bulb itself and not any other hardware, such as the plastic piece that covers it. It is a result of age; therefore, there is no way to 'fix' the issue other than just to finally upgrade to a new device or replace the bulb if even possible.
I use my LED flash as a flashlight at max brightness and mine still is not blue yet, wonder why mines seems to be more durable...
Can someone please explain how the auto-brightness works on this phone it seems to act a lot weirder than my galaxy nexus did. What does it mean when it talks about setting the baseline brightness and in what context? Do you use it? If so what brightness do you have it set to?
This phone has the worst auto-brightness of any device I've used.
I need to read the manual. I'm assuming the baseline is the minimum brightness, but it never seems to change when expected.
I chose to use a 3rd party app to manage it. Lux auto brightness works really well, and you can calibrate it any way you'd like.

I have mine set to 40% on auto. I found the best way to decide the minimum brightness was to set it at a comfortable level in a dark environment.
To test this, set up your minimum brightness, then point the screen (ambient light sensor) at a light source, keep your eye on the screen and it'll gradually brighten. I've found mine to work pretty well and rarely have to manually override it, but the change is a lot slower than my note 2.

Get lux lite from the play store. It works great
Sent from my VS980 4G using Tapatalk 4
Comfortable in a dark room for me is about 5%, unfortunately even in the brightest of sun it seems like the phone never turns its brightness up at all when on auto like this. Anything less than 50% seems to break auto brightness for my device and that is just sad. Even when it works when set above 50%, it takes 5 seconds or so to adjust which is just terrible and the brightness seems to still act funny about how and when it decides to change. It really is the worst auto brightness ever.
Whoops!

Thanks for the recommendation guys that app seems to work sooooo much better than the stock auto brightness so far. The stock auto-brightness is garbage on this phone. Seems like the stock setting either doesn't get bright enough or doesn't get dark enough.
I don't agree, either I have a working phone or others are broke, but this is the best autobright performing phone I've every used, after the hd2, galaxy nexus, note 1 and note 2. Its perfect according to the ambient light situation and is really fast acting

Yeah that's crazy. My friend uses full brightness since launch day and doesn't have an issue either. And uses it for at least 3-4 hrs a day. But maybe he rotated his screen more often or didn't leave it on as long

Haha yeah I work in an EXTREMELY WELL LIT medical device manufacturing plant. Its like being outside in the sun, which ironically, you'd think would need less brightness but just the opposite is true.
Using Nova Launcher, I turned Status Bar to transparent. Dont have to worry about a bar at the top and it just plain looks better being transparent.

Check out the screen burn in tool in the app store. Not a lot of downloads but good reviews after letting it run on low brightness over night.
Are you finding consistent performance with this app when set to dynamic? I'm running Malladus on my Verizon G2 and find that it's perfect like 95% off the time, but it sometimes gets stuck on a brightness level and I've got to open the dashboard for it to auto-adjust.
Just curious. Thanks.

I've noticed this as well, only happens on occasion.
I have since changed my settings to only set the brightness when I turn the screen on. I figure I don't really need it set to dynamic since I'm not moving around much between brightly lit and dimly lit places.
