Automatic brightness - Huawei Mate 20 Pro Questions & Answers

I usually don't use automatic brightness and have it turned off in the settings, but if I turn off the phone and power it back on or restart it, the automatic brightness seems to always turn on again without me enabling it. It isn't a major issue or anything but I am wondering why it does that

Its the same on my device and 2 of my brothers (all mate 20 pro) Also a friend has the p30 pro and this device does exactly the same. Dont know why huawei change this, so the device save the settings...

[Q] brightness is stuck

i tried the star hash 0 star hash on dial pad, to bring up the test centre. I clicked on every box including dimmer and sleepmode to test it.
Now since then, every time i lock and unlock my phone, the brightness reverts back to some minumum setting. I can still change brightness when i long press the notification bar but it will always change back to the low setting. And i also cannot get into settings/display/brightness...its greyed out.
I have tried turning my phone on and off again
Help what did i do wrong
If your battery level is below 15% i think, the phone will disable the brightness control in the settings, greyed out, and will run at lowest brightness, until you charge the phone.
You can use the power control widget to adjust the brightness, but as soon as the phone goes to standby and you wake it up it will be back to minimum brightness again.
ok thanks, coincidence in timing when doing the lcd test and low battery..got me in a panic because I didn't have power saving mode enabled.
Yeah, it got me worried when it happened to me, as i was not using power saving as well, it`s a bit of a cheek to force low brightness when the battery is below 15% , the camera also does not work as well, great.

[Q] Huawei Ascend G510 - Backlight issue

Hello, i got an issue with my Huawei Ascend G510 (rooted, using cyanogenmod 10.1 i think or idnknw but i know I am using ROM optimalised for Huawei Ascend Y300 so here might be the problem). I were doing some stuff on my phone like checking fb etc. and I locked my phone. After few seconds I wake it up, button backlight come on but display seems to be "dead". The phone works because when I "blind" do my unlock gesture I got the vibration feedback right. I know there was issue with my old phone (HTC Wildfire S) and when I set lowest level of display brightness in settings and then I locked the phone, when I pressed the power button to wake it up the backlight wont turn on and I had to restart the phone and then change the brightness and everything was OK. But on my huawei now I tried fastboot and recovery too but the backlight seems to be dead, i dont think its a HW error because when this happened I had my phone in my hand and I have not dropped it or shaked it so I really dont know whats going on. Had somebody teh same issue or I am the only one?

[TASKER] Help with proximity sensor conditionals and wifi profiles

Hi
Tasker begginer here.
I'm having some minor issues with Tasker that I was hoping you could help me sort out:
I use Greenify and I was having a little problem with autohibernation feature in my unrooted Nexus 5: The screen has to turn on in order to automatically greenify something. This is a problem when the phone is in my pocket or facing down on the table because it conflicts with Gravity Screen (this app turns the screen off -and keeps it off- when the proximity sensor is active and the device is in a particular orientation), so when the phone is in my pocket or laying face down on a surface, Greenify can't finish its job because Gravity Screen will quickly turn the screen off.
In light of this, I disabled the autohibernation feature in Greenify and made a rather simple group of profiles to control it from Tasker. The main profile, the one that calls the "Hibernate now" shortcut from Greenify, is triggered when the screen turns off and has and If condition. This is the logic of that if:
- If
Proximity sensor: Not active
AND
Screen off
- Then
Run task
I do this to make sure that the hibernate action is not triggered while the screen is on or while the proximity sensor is active. Since Tasker doesn't have a variable for monitoring the proximity sensor, I made a profile that sets a variable (%PROX) to 1 when it's covered and 0 when its uncovered. So the if conditional uses the value of %PROX.
The problem is that if I turn the screen on WHILE the proximity sensor is active, Tasker skips the if statement (as it should), but if I turn the screen off with the proximity sensor uncovered and then cover it, it'll run the task. It's as if the profile that sets the variable %PROX to 1 does not work while the screen is off. Is this normal behaviour? How can I make this work better?
I managed to sort this out by deactivating Gravity Screen at the beggining of the task and reactivating it at the end (with a little waiting to give Greeenify time to finish), but I still want to keep my screen off while the phone is in my pocket.
My other doubt is regarding a group of profiles (that I got from here) that turn Wi-Fi on whenever I'm near two locations using the cell tower and Wifi near state in Tasker. I made some minor adjustments to these profiles, but they're still basically the same. The problem I'm having is that, most of the times, these profiles won't do anything if the screen is off. For example, I have it set to recognize cell towers near my house (and of course my Wifi connects automatically). Let's say I get home and I haven't used my phone in a while (screen off), I'd expect to see my Wi-Fi on and connected some time after I arrived, but this is not the case. It is not until I turn the screen on AND unlock the phone that I see the profiles doing their thing. I see wifi connecting, flash alerts and so on. This probably have something to do with the fact that, for some reason, my phone will not connect to a network while the screen is off. Same example, I get home with wifi on and the screen off, and I'll only see the wifi connecting after I turn the screen on (this happens with or without Tasker and with any wifi) regardless of how long I've been home.
Could it be that the near wifi profile cannot toggle wifi or can't recognize any network while the screen is off due to this bug I have with Wifi connections in my phone (Which I haven't been able to sort out)?
Thanks in advance and sorry for the long post!
Help with wifi profile
Hi, i saw your post in here and i think i can help, do you still have that problem or you managed to fix it? I think I might be able to help you

How do I turn off the screen lock wake that happens when the phone is moved?

It's my friend's mate 10 but I have the mate 9. I think my phone used to do the same thing before I put a different ROM. With the screen locked when you handle the phone the clock appears. He doesn't like that so is there is setting to shut it off.
It's under the motion control, flip setting

Increasing what the Maximum Brightness Level is

Good Day Everyone,
I have early stage Age-related macular degeneration. Right now, it is in the early stage, but I'm running into an issue with my OnePlus Nord N10 5G.
The center field of my eyesight is getting darker. For example of your phone is at the maximum brightness level, it would appears around something like 60% brightness to me.
So see a beautiful photo of an evening skyline, but I see a post sunset view. It's still there, I just see it darker.
Anyway, I really need to make my screen brighter then the factory set maximum level. Yes, I know that will effect my battery life l, but I simply need it.
The Google Store does have some Apps that "claim" that to do that, but the reviews always are always very mixed. Alot of the reviewers saying they don't work and they believe the app developers just want access to their phone data.
I have already gone to the "accessibility" section of "Settings". "High Contrast" and "Color Correction" have helped some, but not enough.
So after all that, my question is, dose anyone know of an app for the OnePlus Nord N10 5G that can legitimately increase the maximum screen brightness? In the alternative dose anyone know how trick the Android 11 (Red Velvet Cake) into increasing what the maximum brightness level is set at?

Hey @ARTEST4ECHO,
You maybe encountering the screen brightness/dimming problem that the OnePlus Nord N10 5G has. If you have noticed that occasionally the screen seems dimmer than usual, but the brightness control is turned all the way up then this might be the problem.
Unfortunately this is a super common issue with this phone. I'm very surprised no one else has replied yet. The Forum on Oneplus's website there is multiple threads about this issue with hundreds of people complaining. Unfortunately it seems that OnePlus either refuses or is unable to fix the issue!
There is one "workaround" that I have found that seems to work. At first it seemed to work every time but lately it's hit or miss. Which is very strange though because I never update my device, so I'm not sure why it used to work all the time and now it doesn't.
Here is that solution that someone posted on the OnePlus website forum. (Again it used to work every time until lately so your mileage may vary. Unfortunately this seems to be the only option that helps/resolves the issue temporarily, besides rebooting the phone. Oh in case you did not know if you turn the phone off and back on the issue goes away until it happens again... )
Temporary Fix How To:
How to temporarily readjust screen brightness when dimming issue occurs:
1. Swipe down from the top of the screen to bring up the notification bar and turn on automatic ambient lighting (the small sun icon with the letter "A" next to the brightness slider)
2. After turning on automatic ambient lighting, manually slide the brightness control up. (increase the brightness - it will still be low brightness even after doing that)
3. Then finally power down the phone screen and power it back up. (just short press the power button to power off the screen, then press it again to turn the screen back on)
4. The screen brightness should be back to normal. Then be sure to "disable" ambient brightness as mentioned in the first step.
Hopefully this solution will work for you. Unfortunately if it doesn't there's no other method that I'm aware of to resolve the issue. I've had the phone for now going on 2 years and have been searching for a solution to this problem ever since.
