Hi guys
Which preference do you use? Is automatic brightness option best for battery saving?
i remember it was an official battery saving tip for iPhone and wondered if it's the case for N1.
eh, just keep it on the lowest brightness... thats the best bet
the problem with auto-brightness is that it fluctuates a bit too much if you're in a room with localised lights and shadows... even in a seemingly bright area to your eyes, the display will go to lowest brightness... i just found it personally annoying, as it would usually fluctuate when i wasn't expecting, and to a lower brightness than i could stand... i've since stopped using it... i set my brightness manually to about 25%... for me that's a good balance between a usuable brightness for all conditions, while still giving good battery life...
I use auto brightness with locale which toggles it on and off based on my location. But even before I did that I really didn't notice to much of a difference in battery levels at the end of the day.
I just wish there were min and max settings for auto brightness. Cause I am pretty sure I have never needed the brightness turned all the way up.
i prefer auto brightness if it works. my 1st N1 had a glitch where the screen brightness used to flicker. on my 2nd N1 the auto brightness does not adjust on full scale........(if you go into 100% dark room, the brightness setting must automatically drop to 0)
I too found that the auto-brightness flickered too much. I downloaded Brightness Level off the marketplace and never looked back...
Auto-brightness fluctuates too much for my liking. So, I just keep it set to middle brightness.
the light sensor is unstable, so manually 25% all the time..
Auto brightness too dark
In my Nexus autobrightness works ok outdoors, but indoors it sets the light too dark. I wish it`d work fine because it's a waste of time adjusting it manually every time you move into different light conditions.
I've read Nexus users report different behaviours of their light sensors, maybe it is a bad quality component of the phone. Is there an app which can modify the sensibility of the light sensor? Would be great to adjust this sensibility and set brightness always to auto with a little more brightness indoors in my case.
manual, 25% - the best balance of battery and light for me.
i use about 60%. I hated the automatic brightness because it was darker than I would like most of the time.
My position is, I bought a phone that has a high resolution, so why not give it the brightness to make the color "pop" like they should.
I often use the phone to read in bed with the lights off. The screen is still way to bright even set to 0%. Anyone know how to dim it further?

If you're using the Aldiko ebook reader, just set the background color to black and set the text color to grey or some other dull color.
on 1% mine is very dim even in pitch black darkness, you must have sensitive eyes
I wonder if mine is behaving normally. I have set it to Auto adjust off, and slider to 0%, and it is still readable in bright light (probably daylight).

Maybe you have the same problem described here?

Get the Dimmer app from the market, it drops the screen "0%" brightness from 18% default to 10% and I find it perfect.
I just tested 3 apps on the market. Dimmer is good, but quite simplistic. Varies the brightness between "10" and whatever you have it set at. Apparently Android's idea of 0% is "18".
I also tried "Brightness Level" which gives a bit more control and allows you to set 0%, 25%, 75%, 100% and Auto. 0% setting in Brightness Level appears to be the same as the level of "10" that Dimmer allows. The program gives a percentage indicator of brightness.
Brighterrific may be very marginally 'better' at dimming the screen. It allows you to set a minimum and maximum brightness. If I set it to 0% in the program and then compare, it says the brightness has been set to -3% (according to the brightness percentage indicator in "Brightness Level"). The difference between 0 and -3 isn't very visible to me, but maybe it'll save slightly more battery life. I also noticed that clicking on Dimmer won't work after setting it to a level of -3%; maybe because the program doesn't recognise a level lower than it's default lowest level of "10"?
Obviously lower levels must be possible if Dimmer indicates that it's lowest level has a value of 10; it must be possible to set it to 0 or 1 somehow. Needless to say, if anyone finds a program which can set -30% let me know
Thanks folks. I have installed Dimmer and I am happy with the screen brightness.

I've noticed that when AOD is on, and the room is dark the brightness level of the AOD is very low, and I'd like to keep it at that low level to minimize battery drain. But I can't figure out how to manually set AOD brightness control?
and before you ask, yes auto brightness is OFF on the phone settings.
Hello,
I've set the phone to auto brightness with brightness set a little above than the lowest level.
But the problem is, the brightness alert slider increases automatically.
At times it reaches more than half. Is it a bug or a hardware issue?
Hello guys, I installed 4.5.11, but auto-brightness is very agressive, many times i find it on the lowest setting. Any way to fix this? I just want it a bit higher.
Seems like Oneplus is having everything that saves battery on, from brightness to Doze. As some notifications didn't show untill i opened the app. Usually whatsapp. Personally, instead of 7h of screen on time, i prefer having "just" 6 and everything working good. Just got this phone, 6-7 hours of SOT on a 3300mah battery is insane!
This is very stupid. I have the same problem. I dont know why OnePlus don't make AutoBrightness ajustable like Samsung in Touchwiz for ex...
same with me, when autobrightness in darker room, display is always set to lowest brightness ever. really annoying.
On my side, I really love the way auto brightness behave on my OP5. Too much light is not good for the eyes.
Exactly, the user should be able to set a default level, then auto brightness goes from there.
For those who have sensitive eyes, you can always use night mode. It just block the blue light that is mostly responsible to keep is awake.
When the auto brightness is too low did you go into Settings / Display and move the Adaptive Brightness slider to your desired brightness? I am now in a very dark room and the slider isn't all the way down to the minimum. I can see my screen fine.

Yeah or i do it from the status bar. Still after a while it returns to a lower level. While i already want it on a low level, it's too agressive. I whish i could raise it by 10-20%.
Yeah, that slider doesn't adjust the adaptive brightness level like it would on a Nexus or Pixel device. It remains as a standard brightness level instead

Well, we could install xposed to fix the brightness. But then i don't know i want to install all of that just for brightness.
