Notices

i just want to ask, i didnt install any mod on brightness i just disabled the ALS but i notice the 1 bar is as bright as the 2 bars without ALS does this save more battery life?

yes it saves a little, but not as much as it would give you MEGA runtime more.

Can't remember the power consumption that i measured some months back, but i was asked if at really low light the N900 could stay lit all night an function as a Radio Clock, but just having the screen on at REALLY low or no light take some extra power.

yeah i cant really test how much it helps cause im so used to 2 bars brightness and going to 1 bar without ALS cant really judge if its helping me or not thats why i ask if somebody here knows... it feels my battery last longer without ALS or maybe its my new scud battery i dont know anymore...

didnt read the entire thread, so I'm not sure if this has been discussed yet.. but anyone having problems with the LED indicator being too bright after modding can just use LED Pattern Editor and lower the PWM value for each notification

Yep this has been said before

No light sensor then the LED system is on full power, and this can be ignoring, but a quick edit via the LED Pattern editor fixes this

You really notice the LED a night, if you get an sms, im, gmail etc....
Then it really lights up the room.

yup, its really bright.. pretty cool imo. hehe i just turn brightness down for some notifications.

Any way to change the default values of the "simple brightness"?
With the mod enabled, the screen IS more bright (even on 1 bar)
Wouldn't that drain the batter even more faster?

well power consumption will only increase about 1% max, if you want more levels and full control, this means going from 2 - 255 in brightness you can use my mod.
Using my mod you have to use widgets made in QBW, sins i don't have the skills to make a menu like the brightness applet.


So go to post #2, there you will find the install procedure, and the zip also includes the control mods by different maemo users

Tell me, how to reduce the brightness of the keyboard?
After this fashion, it became brighter.

OK, the opposite of whats been requested before, did you use my mod or the simple fix i stumbled on later in the progress?

But i have not looked into the keypad much
