Every time it crashes! :-)
When using the Nokia at night, while watching TV in a dark room, the
nokia can be absurdly bright during its reboot process. So bright, I
have to face the nokia down on the couch while it reboots. So, the
bright light is over whelming when you have the nokia set to its dimmest
level because your eyes have adjusted to the dark.
Exactly. That is my second (and maybe bigger) concern. Reboot or crash
at night is not a pleasant thing. While it is supposed to happen very
seldom in reality it is not such rare event. And the backligh really
does not consume significant power? I thought it can be half of power
consumption on such devices. It was like that on ipaq 3870 I had. I
remeber something like 80mA when display off ~130mA minimum brightness
~200mA full brightness, ~300mA full brightness + 100%CPU (not sure about
exact values, it is long time ago, it was available as file in /proc in
Familiar linux). On N770 I cannot check easily since some parts of power
management is ... guess what? There is this myth about hidden power
management ;-)
But anyway is there some real reason while the default cannot be much
lower until device boots to the point where user specified setting is
honored?
