[Q] How much display (screen-on) time are you getting? - Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi guys i would like to ask what is your best/average display time on a full single charge? Please vote on the poll above. It would also be good if you can state your display brightness / using auto brightness and post a screen shot of your display time, graph and percentage. For those who have no idea how to get there simple follow these steps: Settings > About Phone > Battery Usage > Display
Here's my best:
Set 1
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",
"lightbox_stop_slideshow": "Stop slideshow",
"lightbox_full_screen": "Full screen",
"lightbox_thumbnails": "Thumbnails",
"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
Set 2
However my average is around 3 to 4.5 hours and my brightness is just slightly above the min brightness (i dont use auto brightness). I'm on stock ROM by the way for those wondering.

Sorry mods please close this thread as i accidentally submit twice.

How to minimize display screen timeout time to 1 second

Presently Settings => display => screen timeout now allows minimum 10 seconds timeout. What a ridiculous usability: I use gesture/motion to wake up the clock and while screen is on the jacket's sleeve swipes the menus. Why the f..k we need 10 seconds to stare at the watch? Can we have a custom choice to set the timeout, are all users such idiots that the menus have to be made so stupid to satisfy "pleasant stupid f..g user experience"? I am mad, Samsung is worse than Apple.
Anyone knows how can I set the display time out to 0.5 or 1 second only? How to change this, is there an app? Or maybe I could use developer's mode to modify the kernel or main code? Where should I start?
Not in Gear setting but the face "WatchPlus" is made to timeout the screen in 1 or 2s and gain battery life

Ambient Display setting has no effect

Hi,
as per thread's title, I can't see any difference when switching this setting on. Is it just me?
Thanks for any info.
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",
"lightbox_stop_slideshow": "Stop slideshow",
"lightbox_full_screen": "Full screen",
"lightbox_thumbnails": "Thumbnails",
"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",

"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
I does work for me.
If the Display is turned off and you receive a message or whatsapp or email and so on, the display activates and is showing the lockscreen.
If this option is turned off and a msg comes in there is no reaction at all, so the display remains dark. (Other than the sound / vibrate / light etc.)
Well, in this case I can confirm it doesn't work for me.
(Mmmh... now it's more than one thing that's not working...)
Any suggestion? The feature looks quite nice.
OK, it works when setting one lock method at least, I.e. swipe to unlock. I had nothing set before.
Not sure it makes sense, but at least it works.

Click to expand...
Click to collapse
I can't see the image, but is it like this:
If yes then turn off show cpu usage.
Sorry about the image, I fixed it already. But no it has nothing to do with the CPU usage setting.
Found out that it's factory mode. Fixed with http://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-s3/help/fixed-exit-factory-mode-t2424015

How to turn off some options in battery optimization

Hi guys. I have a problem, I cant figure out. In settings - battery ., there is ability to go inside to fix some issues. I have chose some options there, but now I can "uncheck" them - or disable them. Here are pictures:
Here are the battery settings:
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",
"lightbox_stop_slideshow": "Stop slideshow",
"lightbox_full_screen": "Full screen",
"lightbox_thumbnails": "Thumbnails",
"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
Now I go inside, and below are optimizations that I have chosen:
I want to take back the "clear memory 10 minutes after locked device" and "Lower screen refresh rate to 60 Hz" , but I just cant find how to do it. Thank you for any help.
You can change refresh rate anytime in settings>display>refresh rate 60 & 90 hz
And 2nd to disable clear cache after 10 min
Goto gear showing in battery optimization screen shot ....and select any option you want
Yes, this is it. after clearing it disappeared in the optimized list. Thank you

Question Adaptive brightness = screen too dark

Hi,
I have a s23 ultra since a few months.
Everything were fine, but since 1 week, screen is a bit too dark with adaptive brightness on.
I don't why but when I'm at home, the phone is usable but too dark.
Outside, I have to manually increase luminosity.
Do you have any idea?
Do you use a screen protector? If yes is it one of those privacy ones? Those are darker
Have you run Diagnostics in Maintenance menu?
There's a proximity recognition there. Try that.
There are android apps, example, DevCheck, that lets you check sensor data like this one called Light.
Check if everything is normal there.

Hi,
I use the same tpu screen protection since the first day, it's not a privacy one .
I've launched "sensors" and "proximity" diagnostic with no problem
