hi, The jury is out with regard to screen curtain and battery saving. The official position is: it doesn't save battery. my observation is: it probably does because when screen curtain is off and brightness is up the phone gets hotter! as heat is an expression of energy, this, probably, means that the phone is using more battery life. however, turning the brightness down as far as you comfortably can, definitely does save battery. these days, now that I can't see the screen at all, I have the brightness down to 0 and don't bother with the screen curtain.
