I've noticed while outside, I'm having to turn my screen display all the way up to 100% to see my screen, while indoors I have it at about 30%. Talk about battery killer. If others are experiencing this same thing, what are others doing about it?
I have noticed the past couple sunny days (they are far and few between for spring ) but the only thing that I can recommend if it bothers you that much is set the brightness to to auto adjust.
How ofter are you going to be using your phone outside for prolong periods of time anyway?
On the occasional going to/coming from work, then going out some place. I wish the auto adjust would work better. When in darker areas it seems that it wont dim enough, and it could go a little more.
Just as an aside to this, someone in another post about a week back said they had talked to an HTC technician who said that their own internal tests showed that from about 75% brightness on down to 0, there was no discernible change in battery usage.
Whether or not that's true, since reading that post I've cranked my brightness level to about 70%, and I've noticed little or no difference in battery life from when I had it at about 20%.
I have mine set on Auto brightness. I actually see better battery with it then when I had it set to 20% and since it auto adjusts itself i can see the screen in the sun light!
Really? Thats something to consider, I'll try it out when I get home. Not going to take the risk of draining it at work. Where exactly are you reading 70%, under settings its just a slider bar.
Also I tried the auto adjust option, to me it doesn't auto adjust whether in dark or bright environments, is it just me?
