And I really just adjust it to whatever my needs are for the day. If i'm in the office all day near a charger or at home I have no problem turning it up.

If i'm away from a charger for a long time i'm more conservative.

can definitely understand that

did my post get deleted?

i use really low "high" light settings
i like my screen bright whenever they is any light
maybe this is a double thread?

heres my settings.txt, it looks like im the only one whos changed the BL minimum below to 1, this sets my device to the dimmest possible in a no light situation (in bed in complete dark) i like it like that cuz its easier on my eyes in the dark and not so bright to bother my wife or baby when i'm laying next to them, if any light shows up then it goes to my minimum of 3 (i thought i had this set to 2)

// Unlike other applicatios, this program doesn't use current light values but interpolates between 4 last reads, keep this on mind while setting up, last 4 reads are averaged to eliminate luminosity spikes and thus save power.

// Delay between sensor reads in ms (default 1500), more saves battery power but provides slower response on light change. Less means smoother and faster backlight changes but may require excessive amout of CPU time and battery.

POLLING_INTERVAL = 1000

// How many polls to wait before display brighntess is set? 0 means on every poll, 1 means on every second poll, 2 means on every 3rd poll. (default 1). Higher values conserve battery power but increase the delay between backlight changes.

// Display backlight tolerance means the brighntess will not change until a change higher than this value is required. Example: brightness is 4 and tolerance 1, new brightness is 5 (5-4=1 -> discarted),new brightness is 6 (6-4=2 -> set). This conserves battery power on only mild light condition changes.

Hmm..that's interesting to set it to 1. I may try that tonight

u can set it now and notice it tonight as it wont affect your settings during the day

Yeah I changed it already
