Is it possible to set the watch to never dim? I am aware that it will drain my battery faster. I have a watchface that I like, but when it is dimmed it becomes very ugly.
I would like to be able to set my screen to Always on without dimming and set it at the lowest brightness. The only options I found are "Always On" with automatic dimming and "Always off" that turns the screen off and wakes it up when tilting your wrist. Are there more options?

Most of faces from Smartwatch Bureaux have an option to set dim time to "never" but active mode drain at minimun 12% by hour. Some other face like A36 has an "Dim mode same active" wich keep color on dim mode.
On other face apps like Facer or Watchmaker you choose what is displayed in dim mode, so you can keep dim mode same as active mode.

So I just got Tasker and I've been playing around with the light sensor and I've noticed something strange. If I set the display brightness is below 12% (12% is the lowest brightness setting in display settings), the light sensor stops working. Has anyone else noticed this?
It would be nice to be able to set the display brightness to 0% to save battery and still be able to use the light sensor. I'm running Perception 10.1 with glitterballs OC/UV kernel.
(I'm using Extended Controls to set and see the brightness %)

The lowest I could go is 8% using brightness level widget. If I am not wrong, 0% would be screen off. U could use "screen filter" app to further reduce brightness at night so it does not strain eyes. This lets u go as dark as u want, even upto literally where u cannot see anything on screen.
I've noticed the LED brightness varies. I like my brightness to the max. I did notice one day that once the Power Saving is enabled, the LED gets dimmer. I have the Power Saving feature to turn on only when it reaches 20%. Anyways, most of the time I barely hit that mark before I charge it up again. I notice that sometimes I will have a very bright LED notification and other times it's not as bright. Is there any way to force it to be bright all the times (except when Power Saving kicks in of course)? Auto brightness on the screen is off by the way. Not sure if that would affect the LED brightness but it's off.
I am pretty sure the notification LED is also controlled by screen brightness. That way you don't get blinded at night by it. Also just so you know with auto turned off, even at full brightness you will have issues in sunlight. If you set it to auto, in sunlight you will get about 30% more brightness then you would just set at max.

I could understand that if the auto brightness was enabled, but it's not and the LED brightness fluctuates.
This annoys me a lot. Once you hit 5% battery, it auto dims to below regular minimum brightness and removes your ability to adjust it.
Any way I can disable this "feature"?
Can anyone also confirm this please? If you go to settings > Display > Uncheck "Auto" brightness setting > set the slider all the way to 100%. Then, go to Settings again > Battery > Optimize battery usage. Let it analyze and then read the first row. Does it also say "Screen brightness set to 96%, set it to auto to save power?".
On my previous P10 LITE, it says "Screen brightness set to 100%, set it to auto to save power". It's either a bug or some weird setting I don't know of that can let you select full brightness.
Show's 96% for me too.
Weird, but makes no difference to anything!
I was thinking that the phone never actually goes to 100% brightness and it might make a difference in very bright places. We can't find out for sure if this phone has a locked brightness for battery saving purposes or if it's some sort of bug. I've emailed them but I don't have high hopes of receiving an answer.
Ok, so I received an answer from Huawei. They said that if I turn off the Auto check box and turn the slider all the way up, it is at maximum brightness. I am not sure if they understood what I meant but that wouldn't be the first time .
Also, on a side note, they mentioned that if I use apps with white background, the brightness changes automatically in order to improve battery life. I thought it only did this when there was bright light outside. The strange thing is that this in-app brightness fluctuation happens even if I uncheck the auto setting, but only when I use a custom brightness setting and not full brightness.
Such a strange feature, I guess the "disable" option nowadays means only what they want it to mean...
I've seen a lot of talk about adaptive brightness turning itself off but my problem is the opposite, it won't go off. When I go outside it's almost impossible to see the screen because it's adjusting when I have adaptive brightness turned off. I like a very bright screen and keep my brightness set the to the max but it refuses to stay that bright outside. And for what it's worth it always shows that brightness at max but again you can tell it's adjusted on its own. Any ideas?
