Hello,
I have been searching for an widget that will simply turn auto brightness to on or if I press it again will turn backlight completely off but I haven't found it.
There is already similar widget but it also sets backlight to max, which is really annoying to me!
Why I need this?
Whenever I turn on my Desire during night backlight is too strong for me when set to auto, so that is why I need this simple widget that will turn auto backlight on or on another press will simple turn backlight off
+1 for this.
I can't see a way to do it in AnyCut either. If anyone has been successful please let me know
Bump!
Anybody has little time to make this widget?
Now that the Power Control widget in Froyo includes auto-brightness in its cycle of brightnesses, is the apk floating around? Would be a nice addition for the po'folk who don't have (and probably won't get) Froyo.
Brightness Profiles
I got this app a couple of days ago... i think its just what you're looking for, its called Brightness Profiles.
you can either search it on android market or scan the QR code I've attached. hopefully it works:
Mippin Apps
Check out the Dimmer app from Mippin. They made a battery widget with quick toggles for gps/wifi/bt/display but this dimmer turns it down to 10(20 less than standard 0* of display settings). If you're looking for an automated time scheduler, check out timeriffic.

Thanks for suggesting Timeriffic. It doesn't do exactly what the OP requested but if the need is time based control of brightness it does a great job.
I have seen a huge battery savings with managing brightness carefully throughout the day. Is by far the number 1 cause of battery drain.
Hello guyz,
First of all, I am sorry for my English, it's not my native language.
*
I have some questions on saving my battery life time.* So first of all,* would you please give me some tips on how to keep my battery alive for some time. For example, the settings i should toggle off or on. The apps i should install as battery savers or that i shouldnt. Any advice would be really appreciated.
And another thing what is the best battery saver app and speed booster app or shouldn't i install any of them?
And what is the sleep mode and when does my phone enters in that mode.
And will i get the notifications when i am in sleep mode? And if i let the wifi to turn off during sleep (keep wifi during sleep, on when plugged) will i still get my notifications?
And btw i am using samsung s6 edge and am kinda a heavy user and my phone is full of apps. And i really donno is it normal or not, my phone drops 1% every 6mins? And at night before i sleep the mob is always fully charged, when i wake up it decreases to 90%* and can wifi drain battery more than the data?
Thank you a lot in advance and i am sorry again for my English.
Hey Guys,
I am trying to get as much battery life out of my S9+ Exynos (SM-G965f) as I can so I like to keep it in power saving mode. The only issue with this is using my phone for GPS navigation. While using google maps I like to just listen to the voice commands and keep the screen off to save a little battery. In power saving mode with the screen off it will kill the GPS location. The current fix for this is turning off the battery saving feature and then it will keep tracking the GPS location with the screen off. Problem being when turning on/off the battery saving feature it has an animation and goes through each of the setting when doing so.
Is there a way to edit the power saving settings so that Google Maps can still use the GPC location with screen off in power saving mode?
Also on a side note, my phones location keeps changing out from battery saving mode. How can I tell which app is changing the location type?
Hallo there,
in reference to How to Customize Battery Saver Mode in Android 8.0 Oreo, I'm wondering if it is possible to exclude apps from Android default Battery Saver Mode. I've experienced that it still allows App WakeLocks but in a much lower frequency. I tested it with some GPS tracking apps.
What I want is that the entire phone goes in saver mode but the GPS tracking app otherwise it pins a signal only every 5 to 10 minutes instead of what is in the app settings.
thx
Stefan
Sooner or later you will find yourself looking to save some battery life. here are a few ways.
5 Tricks to save battery life:
1: Change to a Dark screen or theme: 0:22
2: Put apps to sleep: 1:39
3: Turn-down display resolution and Screen timeout: 3:07
4: Turn off unnecessary features: 4:36
- Wifi
- GPS
- Bluetooth
5: Switch off Vibration and Animations: 5:25
6: Ultimate Battery saver: 7:00
The video shows how to do these if you're not familiar with the settings on the phone. Feel free to add to the list.
If you have anyways of saving battery ( not turning the phone off...) then share it.
Debloating could potentially save some battery. Turning off Wellbeing as well
agreed with other poster, you are crippling the phone with those features disable. Although, I have been testing dark theme and it does help with battery.
I also went into Settings and search for Usage data and disable most app usage data for apps and it gives a performance boost. I also scaled down animation from 1x to 0.5x in dev option.
#8. Do not your phone
I use Nap Time by Francisco Franco which helps especially when you're not using the phone, just need two adb commands to work. Have also debloated quite a bit and not having any troubles with battery life.
For me, an overnight charge gets me through a full day of normal usage, so I don't bother with many power-saving sacrifices. I use AOD and maximum screen resolution, with GPS, BT, & NFC enabled; I don't engage general power-saving, or debloat or disable apps or services. But I do avoid keeping the screen brighter than necessary, I use Night Mode (dark theme), and I enable automatic control of WiFi (turns on when I'm near a network I use, otherwise turns off).
If I'm traveling & sightseeing, constantly using the phone for navigation, photography, and web browsing, and running through a VPN when on WiFi, then the battery only lasts half a day, so I carry a charging brick to supplement it.
I work where I have a lot of free time but no way to charge my phone so haveing a few ways to save battery helps. I do have a battery pack but sometimes I just don't feel like carrying it and a wire.
When you are out of the house and will not be around wifi for a while, turn it off. It constantly searches.
It's not just a couple things... it's many.
Depending on the user and the variant, what works for some will not work for all. Dependencies... know what they are or learn.
If you're still on Pie DO NOT upgrade as it will make optimizing harder.
My SOT on my 10+ is 7-11% @hr 7% for web browsing and 11% for vid streaming. It rarely goes above that... if so I go looking for the cause.
Google play Services is disabled unless I need it running.
Wifi, always disabled.
Bluetooth as needed.
Manual brightness and syncing except for text.
All power management is disabled except fast charging is toggle off. CPU/display power mode set to optimize.
Google Backup Transport and Framework always disabled.
All cloud crap and carrier, Google, app, Samsung feedback disabled.
Google Firebase, Assistant and Quick Search always disabled.
All emergency services junk disabled.
As much of Knox as possible.
All MS crap.
All AT&T junk except texting.
Much of the Samsung bloatware is package blocked but some Samsung apks are useful.
Package Disabler and Karma Firewall lock it down along with a custom settings configuration. About 86 packages are always disabled with about 7 that are toggled on/off with the PD MDM widget.
