Hey guys,
Just got my Mate 10 pro (BLA-29) Dual sim a few days ago and I am loving it!
Have updated it to the latest Android 8.0 and EMUI 8.0.
However instantly within the first hour of using the phone I noticed a strange issue or bug? Where you can be on the homescreen and the screen will be nice and bright, jump into any app it can be Chrome, whats app, Firefox even Youtube or Google Maps and instantly within 2 seconds or so the screen will dim a little, go back to homescreen or switch between apps and the screen will brighten, but then dim again after 2 or so seconds.
Have looked all over for any adaptive brightness, turned off auto brightness and any battery saver and nada, still dims.
The only difference is it doesn't happen if you whack the brightness up full, then the brightness level doesn't dim. So what gives??
Also while I have your attention, will Huawei ever allow us to Lock the phone to 4G/LTE only mode? Or do we need root for this?
Thanks for reading, I hope someone has an answer for me as I love this phone!

Known issue with brightness auto.
It's an IA thing which change brightness depending on your environment
I agree... I posted a topic about this a while ago... dims slightly with chrome, facebook etc.. isn't much that can be done about it.
I'm guessing it's to prolong the screen life (?), because these apps use predominantly white backgrounds ... but don't really know for sure...
Huawei claims this is a bug affecting every device running EMUI 5.1 and above. The standard Mate 10 also does this and so does the Honor View 10. Highly annoying. I actually sold my Mate 10 after three days largely due to this issue.
I was really excited for the Honor View 10 until I saw it also suffers from it. A fix should be simple but clearly isn't a priority.
Looks like i'll be switching to the Galaxy S9+ because of this - it's super annoying especially in sunlight - very noticeable then.
My screen does not change brightness level when using Chrome...I do not use Facebook. Non-pro version here with LCD.
mine also doing this as well for me its fine but some games it also does this not only my screen dim a little fps also drops!! and its very annoying
I confirm this behaviour on my Mate 10 Pro. Very annoying.
I have a P20 Pro and it does the same (all Huawei with Amoled does this I belive). If I enable auto brightness it seems to stop doing it. Only at manual brightness it keept doing it in certain apps.
I lurked around different sites about this problem and found this to work for me on my Mate 10 Pro. You can test it out yourself and see if it helps
1. Turn-off Power Saving Mode
2. Go to System > Developer Options > Increase Readability Under Sunlight> Toggle Off
3. Then make sure to restart your phone and open your apps (like Chrome) to see if it's still auto-dimming
Hi,
I returned my mate 10 pro because of the dimming issues as was very annoying.
I am planning to get p20 pro instead. Does p20 pro have the exact same issue despite EMUI 8.1?

I have heard of it on youtube.
this is no bug though. this "feature" has been around for years and huawei does not admit it. they alwas say its a bug and they gonna fix it but the p9 had this issure already.
Some argue that this is some sneaky way to cheat better battery life and less heating. We all know that the Kirin processor lags behind the others, it can only provide high performance for a short period after 5 min it overheats and gets thermothrottled

Can confirm my Huawei Mate 10 Pro, with BLA-L29 8.0.0.145 (C432) also dims the display when using different apps, among them the SMS/MMS app, WhatsApp, Chrome Browser and the built in Notepad app.
As well as dimming the display when »Auto Brightness« is disabled, »Auto Brightness« is automaticly enabled every time the phone is turned on and off, so not possible to permanently disable »Auto Brightness«.
Sent my phone to be repaired or fixed, and was told that the automatic enabling of »Auto Brightness« is a battery saving feature ...
Regarding the problem with dimming in certain apps, it's supposed to be fixed in a later update ... Just wonder when will that actually be ...

Previous owner of P9 with this screen-dimming feature. I own Mate 10 right now (C636 134noxloader build) and Mate 10 doesn't have this screen dimming at all, I tried chrome, youtube, and all my other apps, it never dims.

Just an update.
Wrote to Huawei Norway, and yesterday got an email telling me that Huawai is aware of the issue and it's on their list, and is to be fixed, as far as they know, in late July or August.

No, its november and nothing changed, now a huawei mate 20 pro have that bug too.
This is common amongst all EMUI devices (I think) and it is fixed by freezing or otherwise disabling the Power Genius app. If rooted, you can use Titanium Backup or Service Disabler to do this. If you're not rooted, you might or might not be able to do it via adb.
This is a battery optimization feature, and not an auto brightness bug.

Hello guys!
I have a friend that has a Redme note 4X
Android version is 6.0 MRA58K
MIUI version 9.5.1.0 (MBFMIFA)
Kernel version 3.18.22+
The issue is that once the phone reaches a certain percentage it keeps popping up a push notification that states the following:
Connect charger
18% remaining
Then you can either press OK or "Turn on Battery saver"
After you press OK you cant even count "One Mississippi" and that annoying pop up comes up back again.. and again... and again.. All the while showing the same percentage...
Until you either charge the phone or shoot your head in the temple..
Is that a way to either turn it off completely or minimize the quantity of these pop ups( Meaning pop again once it reach a lower percentage like from 15 to 10 to 5 instead of every second)?
Thanks in advanced!
Anyone?
Has the battery in your friend's Redmi Note 4X gone bad? Anyway, I don't think there's a way to disable this without root. There's an Xposed module for this, I think, but you'll have to search for it.
Or just switch to a custom ROM like LineageOS.
Have you tried using a different usb cable to charge the device?
Hi hi,
Do other people have the same problem or solution?
Apps will not auto start after i enable it in autostart.
After a reboot the icon is back to disable.
So no app do autostart.
I have mi max 2, mi max 3, and mi max 3 pro. And there it work good. Only my black shark 3 pro it will not work.
Is something not good or must i turn something on or off.
The phone disable all auto start icons and no apps will start.
Great,,, and hope you have a solution for me and i do something wrong.
In developer options you need to disable miui optimization. No idea why but I guess it is really aggressive in ram management
Oke it works but strange you need the developer option to let work the phone normal.
It a fix for now but not for the long way.
I will report this to the black shark team to fix this.
Thx for your help.
If some one know a other solution. ( I think a normal setting )
Hey, hope everyone is doing well,
So recently got the MIUI 12.5.1 as an OTA update and I was like, why not update? I immediately regretted it, the new version has way too many bugs.
Bugs and issues that I could find:
- Dark theme somehow got EVEN worse than last version. Messenger on dark theme is utterly broken: some messages white, others dark, others just completely vanish.
- Sharing a Discord image to Discord causes an infinite loop of sharing showing "Android System" (This whole personal/work sharing looks so stupid btw)
- Pop-up applications like Twitch can sometimes completely break and the only way to close them is to restart the device (My Twitch window got stuck on Force stop button so I couldn't even force stop it)
- Soft-key navigator buttons sometimes get stuck in their animation
I'll report if I get any more issues. I really don't recommend updating your Redmi 9 Prime.
Now I am thinking about either downgrading or just totally installing a new custom ROM (I'm kinda fed up with MIUI). Do you recommend I remain patient until they push a new update, downgrade, or install a custom ROM?
Thanks for your time reading
Same here,my solution was to wipe data in recovery!!Cheers!!!

Same here mate. Tried factory reset. Fixed some of emm. Bt still no hope. Planning to downgrade my redmi 9 prime to 12.0.1 or sumtin were i was happy using it.
Bluetooth auto reconnects while playback (checked my bt earphones with other brand device, working fine once paired), app auto closes, phone hangs sometimes even when no heavy task is on background or foreground, auto skips to the next video on youtube while watching and countless other issues.
Am happy to try custom roms bt cant find any stable rom. Sugest me if there is any. Thank you.
My list of bugs in latest update :
- phone vibrate continuosly when powering on.
- auto brightness automatically sets the phone to 100% brightness when finishing calls.
- sometimes vibrate doesn't work in navigation bar.
I think Xiaomi software team won't even bother fixing all these bugs. Will all these be fixed in custom roms?
Tried factory reset. Didn't do any good. Planning to downgrade miui version.
Kimdly check anti rollbacK ban and rollback index if u r planning to downgrade ur miui versiOn.
wierd.. i don't have issues with brightness or vibrating
some issues of mine..
mobile data going off ( related to power plan change ? )
at 7 am change power plan / screen going on shows lock screen 2sec
-today however..the screen was blanco black for 5 min
--i did a forced reboot..the boot animation changed..and home navigation bar now shows : ■ Home < ( before there where 3 icons )
"random number.muigalary" files on root of sdcard there are like 200+ files
note..i use netguard and don't allow any updating on mobile data sim
I'm in 12.5.0.1 RJCEUXM.
I've face BT disconnect issue.sometimes app from app drawer vanishes & come back after sometime.Battery backup is also terrible.
For me MIUI 11.0.9.0 QJCEUXM was the perfect version.I will go back to MIUI 11 ASAP.
my unit got updated to 12.5.3 yesterday...
Let's see.. what it brings
I don't know if this happens also on redmi 9 prime, because my redmi 9 after updating to 12.5.4 wifi sometimes there is no connection so I have to turn off and turn on wifi again and I agree with your opinion that Dark theme is getting worse, I hope xiaomi soon to fix this
Hello, I recently bought Redmi Note 11s to upgrade from my old Blackview which is running Android 7. After turning the phone on I updated to MIUI 13.0.1 and debloated the phone using UAD. As a side note I don't think debloating is related to this at all.
Now my issue with the phone is that I don't get proper notifications, it's really easy to miss phone calls or messages because there is no blinking notification. My phone usually is in silent mode and often I just leave my phone on my desk. AOD also doesn't work as it should, what I mean by that is that it should stay on when call is missed or if there is a message that is unseen. It doesn't do that.
I can have AOD working if I disable MIUI optimizations but that is not ideal, nor I actually want my screen to always be turned on and draining battery. I did try using black background with everything disabled, so it would only show white thingy on the screen when there are notifications. Which worked alright, but battery seems to be draining quite a bit faster with MIUI optimizations disabled.
Also I don't like the idea of using third party apps to be able to get some sort of better notifications, on top of that third party apps really want to collect a lot of your data which is silly. I am not a dev or anything but I would assume such apps should only be allowed to add notifications based on information what is given by notifications service in the phone. And it shouldn't have access to individual apps that receive messages or phone calls.
As for pop up / floating window notifications, these don't seem to work at all with MIUI 13.0.1.
Any ideas and suggestions are welcome.
How did you figure it out. I also need notifications on the lock screen, but I haven't found a workable and reliable solution yet
I had the same problem, it's strange that since there is an option to turn on the Notification Effect in the settings, it will only work once (it's some software junk)
So I installed LED Blinker Notification - and even that works, I tested NotifyBuddy but the first one suited me better.
