Dark themes

[Abbers727]

Does anyone think having dark themes on your phone, really helps save battery? I know it might not help a lot. I don't know. I was wondering what other people's opinions were.

It 'should', simply because less of the screen uses battery. But it still depends on other things more.

Okay. For a few hours, I used the default theme and I was like, "Noo. I can't get use to this. It's too much white." I just downloaded 'High_contrast_theme_II' I think maybe, I just use my phone a lot. (Not for phone calls. Or even text very often. But I use apps a lot.) I always feel like it looses battery kind of quick. But that might be because I use the AOD. I still charge it about one time a day depending where the % of battery left is when I have to go somewhere.

I charge around 2-3x a day because I only charge up to 90% then plug it back in once it goes below 50%.

So yeah, I'll probably charge once a day if I let it go low. And I'm a pretty heavy user.

Yeah, I'm kind of heavy user. Most times, I charge to 100%. Sometimes, I let it go as low at 15% or sometimes, 30 or 40%. Then fully charge it to 100%. But if I did it the way you did it, I'd probably be charging my phone that often too. Or even charging it up to 95 or almost 100%. I'd probably be possibly charging it 2 times a day. I don't know if I should be letting it fully charge but sometimes, I'm charging it over night especially if I have work all day the next day.
