Display settings

Use the Display settings to configure brightness and other screen settings.

Brightness

Opens a dialog for adjusting the brightness of the screen. You can

check Automatic brightness to set the phone to adjust the brightness
automatically, using the phone’s built-in light sensor. Or uncheck that option to use the
slider to set a brightness level you want at all times when using the phone. For the
longest battery life between charges, use the dimmest comfortable brightness.

Auto-rotate screen

Check to automatically switch the orientation of the screen

as you turn the phone sideways or upright.

Animation

Opens a dialog where you can set whether you want to enjoy animated

transitions for some effects (such as opening menus), for all supported effects
(including when navigating from screen to screen), or to enjoy a phone without any
optional animation effects (this setting does not control animation in all applications).

Screen timeout

Opens a dialog where you can set how long to wait after you

touch the screen or press a button before the screen darkens. For the longest battery
life between charges, use the shortest convenient timeout.
