What about inverting the colors on the screen? -----Original Message----- From: viphone@googlegroups.com [mailto:viphone@googlegroups.com] On Behalf Of Neil Barnfather - TalkNav Sent: Sunday, November 04, 2012 8:27 AM To: viphone@googlegroups.com Subject: Re: Battery life with iPad 3/4 gen with screen curtain on?
one thing you can do is disable auto brightness, turn it down to 0% and enable screen curtain, this gives the best result. On my MacBook Air running like this, the battery life is rated at 7 hours, however, I get 13+ out of it by doing this.
