[Q] Auto-Brightness or non-Auto?

[stitch01]

Just wanna ask, which is more battery friendly. To set your screen brightness to auto or not? :cyclops:

For me , auto brightness eats more battery...

I set brightness to 20-30% for indoor , 70% for outdoor ..

Auto brightness uses the sensors and the cpu as far as I know. That means it consumes more power. I also set brightness around 20-30% indoor and also outdoor... No sunshine in Scotland...

Auto brightness also sets the values way too high in most circumstances, doing it manually is much better for battery life

If you don't have the status bar brightness mod (or cm brightness mod) this is a great app. I use it to replace auto brightness, and I set an almost invisible slider on the left side of my screen to leave brightness as a manual setting and be able to bump it up on the fly without leaving an app.

It's called Display Brightness by bigrubberpepper
