You'll know if the screen curtain is on or off because when it's on, iPhone says screen curtain on. When it's off, iPhone says, screen curtain off. The toggle is a 3 finger triple tap. ----- Original Message ----- From: Rose Combs To: [email protected] Sent: Thursday, April 11, 2013 4:58 PM Subject: RE: a battery saver, but effective?
You know, the other day my husband told me his screen was all black and he could not fix it, I suggested he reset the phone and that worked but I bet somehow he turned on the screen curtain, I don't use it and I don't know if he even knows it exists, I do know when he was telling me he could not see anything it was talking. That is pretty funny now that I think about it. Since he managed to mess up a droid in the past hear and lose the iPhone 4, I just figured it was something else we would have to deal with.

While I agree with most of these battery saving tips, I should point out something the guides don't take into account. Audio-brightness should be switched to off, not on. Common sense dictates that while it would save battery life on the brightness, that savings would be eaten up by the power the light sensor is using up in order to operate. Granted, I don't know exactly how much power that particular sensor uses up, as it would have to function constantly in order to be able to deduce what setting the brightness needs to be at in order to operate at a comfortable level in any particular instance, whatever it is, you wouldn't gain in battery savings as you would setting auto-brightness to off. In any case, if your vision doesn't require brightness, as in you're a totally blind person, keep the screen curtain on, and regardless of what the brightness is set at, be it 0% or 100%, the screen curtain shuts down any foreground and background colours, making the screen essentially blank, and, as I said in my previous post, I have confirmed this with my brother who is sighted. The great thing is that the screen curtain doesn't have to be turned off manually when you need sighted assistance with the phone, as turning off Voiceover automatically shuts off the screen curtain, then re-enables it when you turn Voiceover back on. Talk about efficiency. Smiles.
