    Hey

    I installed the easy battery manager on my x360, and it gave me a few hours of extra time while browsing the web casually, so it's all good. The problem is that it dims the screen after a short while, maybe 90 seconds or so, if you're not giving the laptop any input, this is good, but not while watching movies..

    It does this even when I change my curreny power scheme to high performance, instead of Samsung optimized, resulting in that it dims my screen while watching movies, so I have to keep pressing buttons every now and then to get the brightness back up.

    Google didn't supply any solutions, any1 familiar with this?

    If you right-click on the Battery Manager icon in the system tray, do you get an LCD Auto-Dimming option?

    If so, change it to off. If not, check if there is a newer version of the Battery manager on the Samsung download site.
