Seems like a lot of users like to keep their brightness set at around 25%. I've noticed my battery fuselage with my display set at 25% uses up about 50% to 65% of my battery useage, compared to when I had autobrightness turned on, the display was using around 80% of the battery. EgniX, I like how you included what phone you came from. I came from a Droid X, I like how the layout of the Rezound is much like the X, USB, volume keys, power button, and headphone Jack all in the similar place.

I like my Rezound naked...running desensed ICS everything at full on the stock battery...and it's beautiful.

Using extended battery,no case,halo shield,Sense with all seven screens in use. Haven't found a launcher that doesn't lag with 5 screens. Nemus has been the closest. I think moving all those pixels is posing a challenge to the cpu and OS.

Sent from my HTC Rezound.

For me, its a personal preference. I don't like having too many screens and plus, I only use 3 for the main things that I'm always using. I did notice that since I have cut down the number of widgets, it feels like my battery life lasts a little longer.
