4.0.4 battery corrected?

---

Have upgraded my 9023 to 4.0.4 after rooting. The UI and animation are visibly faster but the battery life seems to be the same. I read some people say the battery life is better... Is there an optimized settling for the same? Also what is a better setting for the brightness? Minimum or Auto?

Thanks

Doubt the battery life is going to be noticeably better or worse. The main change regarding the battery is that they fixed the battery stats, it calculated the AndroidOS usage wrong which skewed all of the results. This has no effect on battery life.

Thank You. Could you also suggest what is the optimal brightness setting to save battery? Minimum or auto? Common sense would suggest minimum but I have seen a lot of people say auto brightness works best?

Minimum saves the most battery. Auto uses a tiny (negligible amount) bit more as it powers the photodetector (light sensor) while the screen is on, however it will scale up the brightness when there is excessive light in the room, and lower it eventually when it's dark (this takes longer than i'd like, some ROMs allow adjustments). Generally, it's best to keep it on auto unless you know the conditions you will be in for most of the day.

Thanks Harbb for your contribution ...

Honestly 4.0.3 was fast for me (and faster by the way from GB)...I never noticed 4.0.4 is faster than 4.0.3 in anything but maybe a bit in browser ...

Thanks Harbb. Will try on auto.
