You're talking about the 'Brightness' setting under 'Sound and Display' in the settings menu, right? It seems to have only a on/off option.....nevermind *headslap* I scrolled down and found the slider bar.

 

There is another app you can download, I think it was called quick settings, which will let you push that a bit more. Works great.

 

I agree with original poster. You would be surprised how little you need more than low light. Except for direct sunlight, it is always more than bright enough for me. I can play with my phone pretty much all day (crosswords, youtube, texting, Pandora) and only charge when I go to bed if I so choose with the screen turned down.

 

I added the Power Control widget to one of my screens and this lets you control the brightness. Also noticed improved battery life.

 

I use mine at 0% or 25% ... then use the "Brightness Level" widget to change easily on the fly. The auto-dimming feature is goofy.

 

What am I missing? Where do I turn off auto dim.?

 

yeah i hated it. turned it off the first day.

settings --> sound and display --> brightness

Ditto. The Power Control widget is NOT an option.

That is my favorite. most productive widget so far.
