Did you tweak the settings?

My guess is that somebody else played with the screen settings beforehands

[TheMACHINE]

Yah...full brightness. horrible.

[lefty]

im check out another verizon for the DNA...i feel its impossible for a phone to be that dim with max brightess on. Might just be thaty specific phone.

YEah probably the screen saving settings

Do you remember the battery level on the 1st one yo tried?

[TheMACHINE]

It was probably at 50%

Makes sense

It is fine for regular users. , I would even go so far as to say it could be tops for a regular user. Unfortunately for me the locking of the bootloaders is an annoyance that has caused a precipitous drop in development for my evo 3d (we don't have an official CM9 or 10 yet). The process for achieving S-off is ever more complicated as well. If I choose a non-nexus device it will be a Samsung or Sony because these are the two (in reverse order) which Cyanogen has said are the most dev friendly.

Now, if HTC makes another Nexus, all bets are off and I will buy that with no second thought. I WANT an HTC device, but I don't WANT to deal with all of the bull that this entails.

HTC phones seem to be more complicated to root than Samsung phones

I just compared the easiest HTC root method (the All-in-One toolkit) to the regular S3 root method

And , Samsung phones are much easier to root
