RE: Screen brightness.

[Christopher Chaltain]

Ah, yes, I did mean LCD. Sorry about that. You're right, brightness will impact 
battery life when using an LCD display. I should have said that a dark screen 
or VoiceOver's screen curtain wouldn't impact battery life on an older iPhone, 
but brightness would.

Hi Christopher,

You probably meant to say "with LCD displays" since as far as I know iPhones 
went from LCD to OLED, I am not aware there was ever an iPhone with a regular 
LED display.
Also, it apparently does make a difference with LCD screen iPhones how bright 
your screen is because as you say the brightness of an LCD screen is determined 
by the amount of backlighting and if you were to set it manually to be 100% 
then I do believe you may in fact notice a difference as opposed to having it 
set to 0%.

With LED displays, setting the screen to dark or changing it's brightness won't 
impact the battery since they're backlit. With OLED displays it should take 
less energy to power a dark display, but I haven't looked for any benchmarks on 
this.

Am I remembering someone on here says that it Hass to be set to dark so the 
battery doesn't drain as fast and I do have it set to 0% for some reason it was 
on light so I had to switch it back over again too dark. And I also the phone

RE: Screen brightness.

[Richard Turner]

I have no issues with Bluetooth draining my battery.

I get through an entire day and sometimes a bit longer with my 13 pro and I use 
it a lot and Bluetooth is never off.

RE: Screen brightness.

[Sieghard Weitzel]

Actually I have Bluetooth on all the time because I have an Apple Watch and 
also because I find it inconvenient to turn it on each time I want to use a 
Bluetooth headset or speaker or maybe my keyboard. It may depend a bit on what 
type of Bluetooth device you have connected, but for the most part Bluetooth 
being on should only use up a very small amount of extra power.
By now my iPhone 11 which I have had for 2 years is down to 85% battery 
capacity, but if my phone is fully charged in the morning I still easily get 
through the day and I use my phone quite a bit. Maybe if I had to use a GPS app 
for a couple of hours each day I would have problems getting all the way to 9 
or 10 PM, but I honestly couldn't care less if my battery in the evening is 
still at 40% or at 20% or 15% because I have a smart phone because I want its 
convenience features and this includes having Bluetooth  and Wi-Fi on, it means 
having location services turned on for most apps and also to use background app 
refresh at least for some of the apps I use a lot. It also means that I set my 
two email accounts to Push which definitely takes up more battery than if I 
checked them only once an hour or manually, in fact it probably uses up more 
power than having Bluetooth on does.

RE: Screen brightness.

[Sieghard Weitzel]

Hi Richard,

I think your statement that battery life goes down "much faster" without screen 
curtain is relative. I highly doubt you could show that say in a two hour time 
period it would go down by 6% without screen curtain and only by 4% with screen 
curtain. You also would have to replicate exactly the same conditions, say you 
turn on airplane mode so nothing else may use more power during one test as 
opposed to the other test, then maybe play a downloaded movie of about a 2 hour 
length on your iPhone, first with screen curtain turned off and then with 
screen curtain on. I would also make sure the phone is fully charged to 100% 
before you start and then see what your percentage is after the 2-hour movie 
for both scenarios.

Well, my experience is that if I set my phone to use auto brightness under 
settings, accessibility, display and text size; and use the screen curtain, the 
brightness is always at zero unless I turn off the screen curtain.
I seem to get better battery life than many, and I notice the battery life 
going down when my screen curtain is off for an extended time.  Often because 
my wife wanted to see something on my phone and I forgot to turn the screen 
curtain back on.
During those times, the battery drain is much faster than when I have the 
screen curtain on and using the phone the same way.

Can I prove it? no. Can anyone convince me it doesn’t make a difference having 
the screen brightness at zero when using the screen curtain? No.

RE: Screen brightness.

[Sieghard Weitzel]

Hi Christopher,

You probably meant to say "with LCD displays" since as far as I know iPhones 
went from LCD to OLED, I am not aware there was ever an iPhone with a regular 
LED display.
Also, it apparently does make a difference with LCD screen iPhones how bright 
your screen is because as you say the brightness of an LCD screen is determined 
by the amount of backlighting and if you were to set it manually to be 100% 
then I do believe you may in fact notice a difference as opposed to having it 
set to 0%.

RE: Screen brightness.

[Sieghard Weitzel]

I don't think you will notice a huge difference whether you have it set to dark 
mode or light mode. If you have a phone with OLED screen there might be a very 
small difference since apparently dark pixels use up less power, but it would 
be quite minimal. Of course you may as well set it to dark mode.

As for screen brightness I would recommend you set it to auto and then if you 
want to make the most of it you can turn on screen curtain by tapping 3 times 
with 3 fingers.
As soon as iOS detects that screen curtain is on brightness will be 
automatically set to 0%, but if you ever need help with the phone then as soon 
as you turn off screen curtain with a 3-finger triple tap the screen brightness 
will be at a level which should make it easy for a sighted person to see it.
You can of course also turn off Voiceover which will then automatically remove 
the screen curtain since that is a Voiceover feature so if Voiceover is not 
running screen curtain is also not there to black out the screen.

RE: Screen brightness.

[Richard Turner]

Well, my experience is that if I set my phone to use auto brightness under 
settings, accessibility, display and text size; and use the screen curtain, the 
brightness is always at zero unless I turn off the screen curtain.

I seem to get better battery life than many, and I notice the battery life 
going down when my screen curtain is off for an extended time.  Often because 
my wife wanted to see something on my phone and I forgot to turn the screen 
curtain back on.

During those times, the battery drain is much faster than when I have the 
screen curtain on and using the phone the same way.

 

Can I prove it? no. Can anyone convince me it doesn’t make a difference having 
the screen brightness at zero when using the screen curtain? No.

RE: Screen Brightness

[Carolyn Arnold]

The three-finger triple-tap is a toggle that turns Screen Curtain off and on. 

The Power Button turns Screen Saver on. Screen Saver also comes on, unless you 
have it set to never, if you've had to put your phone down to answer the door 
or something, and after 2 minutes, or whatever time you have set, will power 
the screen off. 

Best regards,

Carolyn

Question about screen curtain: is that what happens when you click the power 
button? You get a click sound, and when you put the phone into a bag or a 
pocket, you don’t accidentally activate a bunch of stuff. Then if you want to 
take it off you hold the power button again, for just a sec. Is that what’s 
referred to as the screen curtain? Sorry about the rookie-ness of this, but I 
like to use the right names for things if I can.

Susie, a word or two more about screen brightness vs. screen curtain 
on/off.  The quickest, simplest way to change brightneess is, indeed,  with 
SIRI. You may also want to know that setting brightness to zero saves battery 
power, while having brightness raised to 50% or 75% and turning on your screen 
curtain does not save battery. The screen curtain is a voice over feature whose

On my iPhone 7S, I have my screen brightness set to zero, as I 
don’t look at the screen at all. However, my sighted daughter sometimes would

This isn’t entirely reliable though. I’ve had many instances where

Not always, but enough to where it’s not just some every blue moon outlier type

If you are a user of the screen curtain, and you have auto brightness on, and

increase, so a sighted person can see the screen.

 

Then when you turn on the screen curtain again, it should set it back to zero.

 

The only time this may change, is if you are someone who turns off their phone 
over night. Then you may need to check your brightness, after turning your 
phone back on.

Question about screen curtain: is that what happens when you click the power 
button? You get a click sound, and when you put the phone into a bag or a 
pocket, you don’t accidentally activate a bunch of stuff. Then if you want to 
take it off you hold the power button again, for just a sec. Is that what’s 
referred to as the screen curtain? Sorry about the rookie-ness of this, but I 
like to use the right names for things if I can.

The quickest, simplest way to change brightneess is, indeed,  with SIRI. You 
may also want to know that setting brightness to zero saves battery power, 
while having brightness raised to 50% or 75% and turning on your screen curtain 
does not save battery. The screen curtain is a voice over feature whose

Hi all.

 

On my iPhone 7S, I have my screen brightness set to zero, as I don’t look 
at the screen at all. However, my sighted daughter sometimes would like to use 
my phone, to take a picture or some such. Of course my screen brightness 
setting makes her nuts. I have gone into  Settings and changed the brightness 
to 70 or 80%, but the next time she looks at the phone, she says “the screen’s 
not working.”

 

What am I missing? I realize sighted people are Muggles, but sometimes we

Re: Screen Brightness

[Dave]

If you are a user of the screen curtain, and you have auto brightness on, and 
set to zero. Then when you turn off the screen curtain, the brightness will 
increase, so a sighted person can see the screen.

Then when you turn on the screen curtain again, it should set it back to zero.

The only time this may change, is if you are someone who turns off their phone 
over night. Then you may need to check your brightness, after turning your 
phone back on.

Dave.

turning on your screen curtain does not save battery. The screen 
curtain is a voice over feature whose purpose, I think, is to provide 
privacy for the VO user who will not know if someone is looking over 
her shoulder when using her phone in a public place.

Hi all.

On my iPhone 7S, I have my screen brightness set to zero, as I don’t 
look at the screen at all. However, my sighted daughter sometimes 
would like to use my phone, to take a picture or some such. Of course 
my screen brightness setting makes her nuts. I have gone into  
Settings and changed the brightness to 70 or 80%, but the next time 
she looks at the phone, she says “the screen’s not working.”


What am I missing? I realize sighted people are Muggles, but 
sometimes we need to share the phone with one. LOL

But if you have auto brightness turned on, and your screen curtain on, it

80%, but the next time she looks at the phone, she says “the screen’s not 
working.”

 

What am I missing? I realize sighted people are Muggles, but sometimes we need 
to share the phone with one. LOL

Hi Susie. Turn on auto brightness, and when your daughter wishes to use it, 
just turn off your screen curtain, and the brightness should increase.

RE: Screen Brightness Annoyance When Rebooting iPhone 8 Plus

[Cristobal Muñoz]

I had autobrightness turned on, but founda  few times where it was still going 
anywhere from 40% to 60% or whatever even with screen curtain on. 
Didn't feel like dealing with the hassle of always checking to make sure the 
feature worked as it should and simply went back to disabling autobrightness 
all together.

That is exactly what auto brightness is supposed to do, but at some point Apple 
did make it so that when screencurtain was turned on brightness would get set 
to 0% regardless whether auto brightness was turned on or not. This makes 
complete sense, Apple has full control over their hardware and software and 
obviously if somebody turns on screencurtain they couldn't care less if 
brightness was kept up at 30% or whatever, it only uses more battery and just 
as certain behaviours are triggered when Voiceover is turned on I am sure Apple 
can trigger certain behaviours when screen curtain is turned on such as setting 
brightness to 0% and overwriting the auto brightness setting.
If of course this doesn't work as it should then Apple needs to figure out why.

Hi Chris,
It seems to me that if you have auto brightness turned on, it’s not going to 
stay at zero, because the whole point of auto brightness is to adjust the 
brightness depending on the surrounding like conditions. At least, that’s my 
understanding. I always have it off, and I turn it up if I need sighted 
assistance with something.

Hello Mary,

I do the same as you, but a few people had their screen curtain on, and this 
seem to keep their brightness at zero for them.  So I gave it a try, and as I 
previously stated, it did not work out for me.

Re: Screen Brightness Annoyance When Rebooting iPhone 8 Plus

[Chris Chaffin]

Hello Mark,

I am running the latest ios on an iPhone 8, and I have seen many brightness 
issues ever since I have updated to ios 12.  And I have tested it, it does not 
matter whether screen curtain is on or off.
Here is what I have seen:

*  Ever time I restart my phone, and I just tested this again, my phone 
brightness is set to 100%.  And this happens whether screen curtain is on or 
off and if auto brightness is on or off.
* If I have auto brightness on, my brightness will increase from time to time, 
even if I have screen curtain on.  For example, I would turn it down to 0, and 
check later on, sometimes it would still be at 0, and sometimes I found it at 
35%.  If I turned it back down to 0, things would just repeat itself after some 
time.  So I was forced to turn auto brightness off.

I understand that not everybody and all phones see this behavior, but it is 
happening.  I do not understand why, and even though I would guess that Apple 
would have a hard time reproducing it, I have submitted the problem to them in 
hopes that it might be resolved in a future update.

Chris

RE: Screen Brightness Annoyance When Rebooting iPhone 8 Plus

[M. Taylor]

Hello Mary, 

Since posting my original message on this, I have restarted my phone 3 times 
and cannot get the problem to reoccur.  Mind you, it's been automatically 
dimming at start-up for about the past 5 days.  

Now, it restarts with the correct brightness level.  

Wow!

Re: Screen brightness.

[Christopher Chaltain]

If you're going to set it to 32%, I think you might as well just let it 
adjust itself automatically. If I were going to lock it in at a specific 
value, I'd go with around 10%. I find people I show it to occasionally 
don't have any trouble reading it.

Hi, make sure that the auto brightness is off.
Go into settings, and swipe right until you get to display, and brightness.
Double tap on this option, and swipe to the slide, you can adjusted to what you 
want it to be, swipe to the right, and make sure that auto brightness is off.
You will also be able to change the brightness anytime you want from the 
control center too.

Re: Screen brightness setting not sticking? Has anyone else seen this?

[Harry Bell]

Yes, I have also noticed this inn my iPhone 5s iOS 8. 0. 2. When I have reduced 
the brightness I sometimes randomly discover it has gone to full brightness 
without me doing anything consciously.

 updating to iOS8.0.2 I have noticed that the brightness setting frequently

I had that there to account for Siri mistakes, but since iOS 8 I always use the

to zero.

Re: Screen brightness setting not sticking? Has anyone else seen this?

[Charles Rivard]

Set the screen brightness to z percent in the settings, under visual.  That 
should clear the problem.  It's been a while since I looked, but it seems like 
there is also a setting to automatically adjust the screen brightness.  If 
there is, turn it off.  HTH.

Here's the clincher, unless I'm missing something, I'm not finding an auto

 That's interesting. I haven't experienced this, as far as I know. My battery 
 is behaving as it has for a long time, and every time I check brightness, 
 it's set to zero.

 Hi, make sure that the auto brightness is off.
 Go into settings, and swipe right until you get to display, and

 Double tap on this option, and swipe to the slide, you can adjusted to

 You will also be able to change the brightness anytime you want from the

RE: Screen brightness setting not sticking? Has anyone else seen this?

[Sieghard Weitzel]

Hi Teresa,

 

You are missing something, it’s right there where you said, Settings, Display 
and Brightness. Top left is the back button, Swipe right once and you are on 
the heading “Display and Brightness”. Swipe right again and you are on the 
heading “Brightnejss”. Swipe right once more and you are on the Screen 
brightness slider and another swipe right takes you to “Auto brightness” which 
will be announced as either on or off.

 

Regards,

Sieghard

Ok, one swipe right from the brightness slider takes me to Text Size. Very odd. 
I'm not going to reset and fix what ain't broke, but that is very strange. 
Maybe on a reboot it'll fix itself.

Well, after a reboot, it still doesn't show for me. Maybe something weird 
happened when I did a couple of complete resets. I don't think I'll worry about

That is definitely strange. Is Auto brightness also not there if you move your 
finger down the screen from the brightness slider? I wonder if the swipe 
somehow skips across it and I also wonder if you have a chance to ask a sighted 
person to check what they see visually. What iPhone do you have?

Here's the clincher, unless I'm missing something, I'm not finding an auto 
brightness setting in iOS 8.0.2,  Settings, Display and Brightness. 
Interesting. I wonder if it still exists.

That's interesting. I haven't experienced this, as far as I know. My battery is 
behaving as it has for a long time, and every time I check brightness, it's set 
to zero.

Thanks for reminding me, I forgot that was even in my signature.

I had that there to account for Siri mistakes, but since iOS 8 I always use the 
braille keyboard. Probably should take that out :-)

Just for kicks though, this message was dictated with Siri and not corrected.

I have an iPod Touch 5G.  My husband says the auto brightness setting does not 
appear.

 That is definitely strange. Is Auto brightness also not there if you move 
 your finger down the screen from the brightness slider? I wonder if the swipe 
 somehow skips across it and I also wonder if you have a chance to ask a 
 sighted person to check what they see visually. What iPhone do you have?

 Well, after a reboot, it still doesn't show for me. Maybe something weird 
 happened when I did a couple of complete resets. I don't think I'll worry 
 about it for now, as everything seems ok and battery is fine.

 Hi Teresa,
  
 You are missing something, it’s right there where you said, Settings, Display 
 and Brightness. Top left is the back button, Swipe right once and you are on 
 the heading “Display and Brightness”. Swipe right again and you are on the 
 heading “Brightnejss”. Swipe right once more and you are on the Screen 
 brightness slider and another swipe right takes you to “Auto brightness” 
 which will be announced as either on or off.

Teresa,

 

That would explain it, the iPod Touch does not offer auto brightness.
