What brightness level do you leave your GS3 on?

[Jao Ozaki]

0% Is plenty bright for me. I guess i just got used to it. BUT, i bump it up to 40% when im watching any thing 720p or higher.

I use my phone heavily, so anything over 0% just hinders my battery.

just noticed QuickPic gallery app has an option to pump the brightness of a pic up to 100% brightness when viewing it in fullscreen.
its a nice touch but wish it was adjustable. 100% is a bit too bright...

40-50% all the time. If I am laying in bed playing with phone then I will slide it all the to lowest setting.

Auto brightness works fine for me so far.

 

[trucky]

I let Lux Free or Juice Defender manage my brightness levels most of the the time. They both seem to do well overall.

 

[cgardnervt]

Auto brightness for me! It works 90% of the time. At times when I am outside its not so good but its rare for me to be honest.

 

[mssca]

0% inside buildings
70% to 80% outside in the sunlight.

I don't use Auto because some apps cause flickering.

 

[evq.003]

100% almost all the time. If I'm using it at night, I'll flip the switch to Auto.

 

[Since9600]

I've always kept every device at 50%.. I never used auto.

 

[junglejunkie]

I stay on auto brightness.

Wow a lot of you use Auto Brightness with no battery kill?
Let me try!

Lol @ some of you doing 0-1%....can u even see it?

 

[xKrNMBoYx]

automatic...so I can still see the phone under bright sunlight without changing it manually. If I really want to save battery or plan to use it indoors with little lighting then I turn it down to minimum.

 

[worwig]

Auto work best for me. Though it has issues at times.

lol your eyes get used to it and if all youre doing is using this forum for example, its much nicer to read from, kinda like a kindle reader

p.s, theres an app "Screen Filter" if you want it even darker for reading in dark etc

100% auto off. My battery lasts an entire work day until I get home near a charger and it looks better at maximum brightness.

Along with not needing my phone to go past 0% most of the time, im wary of random Burn In. I know Super AMOLEDs rarely get them, i also know itll happen eventually.

So other than not needing to, and saving battery, i next to never up the brightness because of Burn In. My old phone which was regular AMOLED had it hardcore. Never Again.

Generally at 1/3 brightness. Outdoors at full brightness.

I keep it at the lowest normally. Auto for outdoor. And use screen filter app for night time. Though the app sometime closes randomly which shocks your eyes, a b**ch at 4am!

aparently samsung have admitted to a problem with burn-in on the s3 and suggest using lower brightness.
someone also said samsung said theyd replace affected screens but i find that hard to believe..
