Hello.
I have the Amazfit Pace A1612 with standard ROM 2.8.0.5 that got installed OTA.
I've noticed a problem with my watch, even after factory resetting that activate on raise setting keeps turning itself on think randomly. I don't like this feature and I keep turning it off but after a while it just resets itself to on. Any ideas how can I fix this? Thanks in advance!
Is Auto Backlight Off? It's sets Auto Raise to be turned on or off automatically.
That seems to work so far... Seems illogical since maybe I want the screen to set brightness depending on the current light situation but not raise feature...
I have the same problem on Amazfit Stratos 2.
If auto backlight is enabled, 'activate on raise' turns on by itself.
Very stupid and annoying "feature".

'Backlight' is set independently of this option. The 'Auto backlight' is perhaps clumsily named. It just a scheduler for 'Auto raise to light up' option, not the 'Backlight'. Backlight can not be scheduled but it's easily accessible in quick options swipe down..

Huh?
Did you mean the screen where you can also set silense, airplane mode and go to settings?

can someone please tell me how to disable auto brightness on
x10i eternity rom build 003
i tried using every brightness app/widget possible to turn it off but as soon as i turn it off and put the phone under different light setting i can see that the auto brightness is still on
i tried using adjbrightness but it keeps telling me that my phone isnt rooted; anyone get this app to work on x10??
please help n sorry if this questions been asked and answered before. this forum is getting too big and broad sometimes to find anything
thx in advance
Have you tried Sparepart? (That's the name)
Strange, i can't seem to turn on my autobrightness. It used to work perfectly in android 1.6. And i haven't noticed it untill recently. When auto brightness is checked, it just stays the same, even when i hold it directly under a lamp. Maby there is a bug in the software that prevents switching it on or off?
I'd also like an answer to this problem, because with auto brightness on the telephone is a battery eater.. you have to keep it to the minimum level to disable it, but when you are under a strong light, like outdoor with a sunny weather, it's difficult to see your screen's details. as you select a brightness level different from zero, the autobrightness turns on and eats the battery.
I hope I'm missing the solution to this, and somebody will help, because all the applications i've tried (spareparts included) didn't worked.
I'm quite confuse now.....
What actually do we need......
Turn it on...
or
Turn it off...
LOL
heh, so some people want a way to turn it off and others, like me, want to find a way to turn it on?
what a crazy phone..
I'm sure there used to be a tick box in the display settings to turn on/off the auto brightness. Anyway, i've tried various applications myself to get it on but nothing does it. I think the best solution is for us all to swap phones .
Spare Parts doesn't work for me, i tried enabling it, restarting the phone and jumping under my duvet.. but it didn't change
Did you update to 2.1? It was disabled in 2.1 as far as I know.
So the easiest solution, upgrade to 2.1! Else, I don't remember the menu but it's somewhere in the settings under 1.6.
I think we've all updated to 2.1 here =)
and yes, in 1.6 there was a box to tick to unable/disable autobrightness.
But, in 2.1, this feature has disappeared, leaving a seekbar and a damned widget which doesn't allow you to set or no autobrightness.
Hi,
The autobrightness is still there. It can be turned on/of from a stock SE connection widget. The different state for brightness is "minimum" -> "auto" -> "maximum"

Thats pretty much, exactly, what dpk0875 said, if i'm not mistaken.

I can get, either 0%, or 100% brightness, with the ambient sensor disabled. Anything in-between, fades constantly.
No fix for this, i presume?
Reading websites while the screen fades in/out every couple of seconds drives me mad.
Ive never had any problem with it as long as you dont lean in front of it all the time lol.

Hello All,
Is there an app that can dim the screen of my Archos 101, and return the screen to predefined brightness with the touch of the screen?
My device is mounted on a wall and the power button is hard to get too, so having a screen dimmer that can return the screen to normal use seems like the way to go.
Or what about the screen never going to sleep, but have it do an auto dim down after a set amount of time and with the touch of the screen it returns to normal usage?
At this point I would settle for work around.
T.I.A.
u may try the app "tasker" wich has a function for brightness level...
so u can at set an idle time to turn it down,.. and hopefully also one to "unidle" or screen tap. Sadly im not sure about that exactly as i dont use takser frequently... just try it out
I also remeber an app wich was able to set a little overlay area to the screen on wich u could slide to turn up/down brightness - so u can slide down to turn it off - and up to turn it on (or left/right,...).
Will search if i can find its name... cant remember atm.
Both methods would require to disable auto turn off on idle function...
As u can WAKE UP the device with the screen while it's in sleep.
Hello FrEcP!
Thanks for the reply.
Will look at Tasker now, seems to be many options so I will need to sit down and have tea to figure this out
Screen Filter
Allows you to even set the level to dim screen to. Simple tap on it to dim, and another tap to make it normal.
Hello diablo009,
Thanks, that may be what I need!
I bought Tasker cause it is important to support our developer
Tasker did make and is still causing my brain to tingle!
Will give Screen Filter a try too.

Screen filter is more like a manual one. You got to click on it to enable or disable it.
O.K. so I tried Screen filter and it is a 50/50 solution. Yes it does dim the screen but it is manual whereas I ned something more automatic.
As for Tasker, I have drunk two pots of tea, and energy drink, and gone through two days and still this powerful app is a bit of a challenge to setup.
Anyone with experience setting up Tasker?
OBJECTIVE:
1. After 10 minutes of idle have display dimm to 50% brightness, and never shut-off.
2. With the tap of the screen have display return to 100% brightness.
In exchange for help I would be willing to baking you homemade cupcakes!

yes another problem with screen filter is - it just sets an over lay in gey color - wich means actualy your screen still is at fully brightness (wich is annoying at night /u still got an ugly high glow of the backlight + doesn't save power [k is minor for a wallmount - but still should be considered] )
Well if you would have told that (objectives) more early - your solution would have been more easy
I thought u wanted to completely turn off the screen while being idle....
Anyway:
Settings->Display->Display Timeout->10min
Settings->Display->Brightness->full
Settings->Applications->Development->Always stay on/Stay active...->true
Does exactly what u want - after the timeout (10min) the screen dims (to about 50% or lower) - sadly i can't tell how to affect this value (but it seems its the lowest value the default brightness controll, let u set)
On touch - u got the full brightness... till timeout is reached again.
Device wont ever go to sleep.
Hello FrEcP,
Your instructions worked!
50% auto dim is more on target than before, and I return to baking
Apologies for not being more clear in the beginning.
This is from the Taker Forum:
"Unfortunately you can't do this, Android doesn't provide APIs for apps
to test idle time or respond to screen taps (unless it's in their own
UI)."
Thank you again FrEcP, and diablo009!
You help to make this forum rock solid with your sharing.
workaround with screen filter works fine
I use Screen Standby on my Xoom tablet for this exact same feature. It allows you to set at what time the tablet automatically dims. I have it set for 5 minutes. And then I just tap the screen with my finger and it wakes up. It is also nice to note that tapping the screen does not push any buttons but rather just wakes the device.

Lo
Is there any way to turn it off?
MIUI don't have this option like CM7 or Samsung based.
Thanks
I also use Miui & the softkey leds being constantly on was also driving me mad. The workaround I found goes like this:-
Go into settings/display & make sure auto brightness is checked. Then go into advanced mode/edit other levels. Underneath the first two settings for "buttons" you'll have the values 255. Change these both to 0, then hit save settings at the top of that screen.
Once you've done that, if you're someone who uses auto brightness this should kill the soft leds for good. If you're like me & have your brightness on the lowest possible setting most of the time to save battery, you need to uncheck auto brightness. Then reboot your phone.
Once you reboot, the softkey leds should be gone, and will only return if you turn auto brightness on. If you do that & they reappear, go thru the steps again to get rid of them.
Let me know if this works for you.

Hi all,
This is my first Huawei phone. I noticed that brightness of the screen will reduce (darken) for some apps, eg fb, chrome, dialer, even the auto brightness is unchecked. Do you experience the same?
It's a feature to prolong battery, all Huawei phones has it.

Yeah ok, thanks.
How do I get rid of the "feature"?
It's making the phone completely rubbish to use.
If I turn "Auto brightness" ON, the phone adjusts the brightness according to the lighting conditions around it (the screen does NOT go dim when launching apps).
If I turn "Auto brightness" OFF, the phone DIMS the screen when launching apps.
Come on HUAWEI!!! If I want the screen to auto adjust, I will set it to auto adjust.
I turned off auto brightness, toggled brightness to max and used the chrome browser. The brightness remains constant. No issues for me.

After update today to Oreo:
Same Problem with Huawei Mate 9 Update MHA-L29 8.0.0.361(C431)
It's A BUG not a feature.
After rebooting it`s okay and after standby and on again same problem again!
With Android 7 no problem!!!
Hi,
I had the same problem. In developer options I had "Force GPU rendering" enabled and that caused the issue.
Just disable it. Reboot the phone and it should be ok. When it does not help, "Restore default settings" in the developer options and reboot again.

No it's not working. I hqven't this option enabled, and if I open chrome it will dim a little.
I enabled GPU rendering and that sorted it thanks
Scrap that it's still doing it
Automatic Brightness Issues..
I have similar issue with the one wrote here in xda - https://forum.xda-developers.com/mate-10/help/brightness-automatically-reduced-apps-t3697589
That is even with the auto brightness ticked-off and smart screen feature also off, the screen will automatically dim after few seconds I opened the Facebook app for example.
I tried opening the Hi-Care app but it doesn't has this problem.
Can Huawei fix this very annoying bug soon?
I believe majority of users would not affected by this because they set their brightness less than 50%. But for those who prefer bright screen like me, this is extremely annoying feature even it said to help prolong battery life!
Thank you.
Would a custom ROM fix this issue ? Only reason I would root this phone ! Hopefully get one soon now that we have a custom recovery.
Can you try exempting from battery optimization? Search for "Configure Apps" in settings, go to special access, and then "Exempt from battery optimization"
I personally don't notice this issue, so I can't test it.
Try to disable "Increase Readability in Sunlight" at developer options
Same exact problem here on my Mate 10 Pro - first noticed it a couple days ago, after i had the phone for a day or two. It's a very slight change - I mainly notice it in Chrome and Facebook. Some apps do it, but not all. Basically, when you launch the app, the whites are normal brightness according to your set brightness, then within half a second, it dims just slightly - like 10-20%. Then if you press the home button, you can see a slight change again to normal brightness as the app fades out. Not the end of the world but still a bit annoying. I never noticed this with my Mate 9 (which didn't get Oreo yet). Would be nice to have a fix for this.

Did you restart your phone or do anything after? i changed the setting and don't see a difference - seems like it still does it.
Just compared to my son's mate 10 Pro and his screen is actually brighter on the Facebook app and all our settings are the same so must be different panel.

Bro, Switch off everything in Setting>>Smart Assistance.
Make everything to off, surely it will help you.
The "adaptive brightness" is bugged and dims the screen on certain applications, regardless of what options you have turned on or off. Huawei confirmed it is an EMUI issue. Who knows if they'll actually resolve it as they don't see it as a major issue.
It was major enough for me that I sold my Huawei Mate 10 after a few days.
i dont have it in 8.0.0.137. bug was present in 8.0.0.128. atleast for me. there is maybe sligt dim for like 5% in music sometimes and thats it as far as i can tell
Same issue here, tried many different fixes and attempts to disable it, still happens in all apps/games. It is noticeable immediately once the app/game has been launched.
It feels like a 10-15% decrease in brightness. Hopefully this is fixed in the next update.
Ps. I previously had the Mate 9, had the very same problem!!!
I am getting woken up by the watch. I have auto DND set to the correct times & DND selected on my phone. I also have Disable when DND is ON selected on Amazfit.
Any idea please ?
Amazfit doesn't have this option... It only has "disable when screen is on", and only on Android. If you meant AmazMod, some phones activate the screen to display notifications and this may break this setting, you have to find a configuration setting that works for you. And make sure you have notifications disabled in Amazfit if you are using AmazMod.

The problem seems to be in the watch. If I manually select DND on the watch, I don't get disturbed. But the auto DND setting doesn't set the DND.
did not want to create new thread, so i ask here.
is there a way to set up auto dnd when i sleep? i have had amazfit bip before and there was auto dnd working like a charm. now i have bought stratos +, but found only how to set up scheduled dnd.is there a way to set auto dnd when i sleep? thank you

Only schedule it for a fixed schedule, as you already found out. You can also simply put it in airplane mode or dnd from the drop down menu before you sleep, then disable it when you wake up.
What a shame on amazfit... bip is 3 times cheaper and has smart dnd, stratos does not...
