    If you keep the brightness at 50% or less, are you finding that your battery life is greatly improved or just somewhat? This is what I keep mine set to on my 4S with the auto brightness feature turned on. Keeping it set to this level does give me at least a few extra hours of standby time.

    I keep my Photon on Auto Brightness. But with the Samsungs I had with SAMOLED screens I would keep them on the lowest setting. It worked for almost all situations, and with a simple swipe left or right on the notification bar I could adjust it if needed. :)

    This was another reason I jailbreak all of my iPhones. I also have the ability as seen in my screenshot, to adjust the brightness level from any screen or application with as simple swipe of the notification bar. IMO, all phones should come with this feature out of the box. :)

    I am too lazy when it comes to screen brightness, so it is set at auto with 30 sec time out. :)

    The default, which by replies in this thread I'm guessing are auto-brightness, 30 seconds timeout :D

    I would agree, one of the best features on Samsung Android phones.

    I keep it in auto brightness. But in my ex-phones, it was between lowest and %40.
