Auto-brightness or manual brightness? Which one

[tu3218]

Do you guys have your brightness set up to be auto adjusted to the lighting around or do you have it set at a certain brightness?

Max brightness all day, lowest setting for use as an alarm clock.

That auto brightness drives me bananas, personally.

I have mine set at 20% and use the Beautiful Widgets Brightness Widget to bump it up to 100% when outdoors. Works well for me.

Auto always works for me.

I might try this set up. I imagine brightness of the screen really effects battery life. An having it set to a low setting while indoors, when I do the most playing around with my phone would probably really help my battery life.

I get better battery life having it set to a lower brightness most of the time, but living in Florida, it's hard to see the screen when outside if the brightness is anything less than 100%. This allows me to quickly switch between the two settings without going through the Settings screen.

I hope this answers what you were asking?

I'm sorry....can I ask where this widget may be found as I learn my way around my Droid.

TIA

It came with Beautiful Widgets, which is on the Market. I think you can do something similar with the stock Power Widget.

I like the auto brightness. I go from indoors to outdoors quite a bit and it got annoying to manually adjust it all the time.

i personally use the power control widget to adjust brightness. Unless i'm outside, i'm at lowest settings.

 

[jrod1990]

14% normal, with the BW widget to bump up to 100% when outside.

By default, I'm at lowest brightness. When I need a brightness boost I turn up the brightness to 100% by pressing the camera button. All you have to do to do this is download this app: Button Shortcut - Android app on AppBrain and this app: FastBright - Android app on AppBrain then assign the FastBright app to the Camera Button using the Button Shortcut app.

Auto works just great for me. Hassle free and works great.
