Automatic brightness resets - Huawei P20 Pro Questions & Answers

I prefer manual brightness setting. My CLT109 keeps reverting to automatic brightness. It appears to happen after a restart and maybe when opening a browser. I use Chrome.
Does a know of a workaround without routing?

install quickshortcut apps, in the apps type "battery" , choose setting, choose any shorrcut that has"Powerusagesummary", click "try"
you will be directed to the battery usage , in that area you will find ADAPTIVE BRIGHTNESS...turn it off
then go to automatic brightness in setting and untick it
remember you will need to do this everytime you reboot the phone
hit thanks if this help

Hi, can I ask you a question? If you set the manual brightness, for example to 70%, when opening chrome or Gmail or Facebook, note that it is lowered?

Hi. Yeah. I might have to change my OP. I notice it when I open an app. But I think it's only happening after a restart.

It always happens to me, if I set the manual brightness and open Facebook or Gmail after a while known a change of light, it goes down. If I return to the home, he gets up

Have you unchecked the box to the right of the slider in the display settings?

Yes, the brightness is set as manual but behaves as if it were automatic

Hopefully some clever people will help us in this thread soon.

do not know quickshortcut apps, where can I select? I tried to install lux to manage the brightness but I did not solve it.

So is it standard behaviour that on reboot it reverts to automatic?

But does this process also work using automatic brightness? Because I have the problem of brightness that goes down in some Apps like Facebook or Chrome

I have similar problem. I want to be automatic as I had with all my android phones before.
But mate 20 pro is a way to agressive. I allways have to correct brightness to +.

screen brightness program?

Does anyone else notice that even on the lowest setting the screen is still really bright? Does a program exist or can someone program one to dim the screen further for use in the dark? Thanks

There are a number of programs in the market that will allow fine tuning. Power Manager, Toggle Switch, etc.

Your answer was even less relevant than mine and I thought I was going on a tangent. At least my idea would in theory work.
Power Mgr won't make it any less bright than the phone currently allows and how would toggle switches do anything for the brightness? lol

Well... Toggle Settings (sorry I called it switch before...) shows %'s, and allows you to set it the brightness from the app. it doesn't let you set it below 0% though (might be a nice feature...)
Power Manager allows you to set the brightness and to save 'profiles' eg. "night time' with the settings you want.
At least my answer had two apps that allow you to change the display brightness... goof

I found a program called aSettings that will allow you to set maybe 5% lower than the stock Settings program. However, this screen is still way too bright when using in the dark.

I set the aSettings to "0" and checked in Toggle Settings (for reference). TS reports display brightness at -4%. Seems there may be hope if we get one of the programmers to tweak things a little more.

Hero's brightness control.....

So I'm so sick of going back into settings everytime to change the brightness
Whenever I try to use brightness widget or PowerManagerPro Freaking OS changes the brightness back to what it was right away.
So every time I go outside I have to go to settings to turn up brightness cuz I can't see shot especially with screen protector and other way around or especially at nigh when driving and trying to look at the GPS and its just too damn bright.
There got to be a way to get powermangerpro or brightness widget to work on hero, its a such a pain in the ass plus it will save the batt too.
So how can that b fixed?

[ROM oSerX] brightness problem.

HI,
I would like to set the display brightness permanently in oSerX ROM. When I move the slider it does not change anything. Brightness is the same, at a low level illumination.
I'm using Semaphore 2.5.0.
How to fix it.
Sorry for my english
not a huge problem, go in there semaphore.apk and tick the auto you want and then go to settings, display and then you check and uncheck the auto correct function. good luck
Great! It' works. Thanks a lot.

Anyone else missing gmail notifications unless screen is on?

I have no power saving settings on like aggressive doze or close high powered apps.
Ill just let my 3T's screen turn off and send an email to my gmail account from my work email. I will not get a notification unless I turn on the screen.
Yes, I have this issue only with Gmail, Oxygen 4.0.2.
Same here.
It happens with WhatsApp as well but I hadn't had time to troubleshoot it.

Gmail/Inbox use normal priority notifications as opposed to high priority, therefore will never bypass Doze. For some odd reason however, selecting Do Not Optimize makes no difference. This issue is not specific to the 3T.
I have noticed this too with whatsapp i can't remember if it started happening on 4.0.2 or when i flashed a different kernel, probably 4.0.2 related
I have exactly the same issue ... mostly with gmail and possibly with other apps like Whatsapp (I need to use my phone more to be sure) but surely and deeply with gmail.
Sometimes I receive push notifications on my OnePlus3T (running OOS 4.0.2 and unrooted) flawlessly, sometimes it takes a delay from one minutes to several, sometimes I need to wake up my phone (with the Jedi move of waving my hand over the proximity sensor) and sometimes I need to open the gmail app and force the update with a slide.
I think I also notice a random delay for the notification even if the screen is on and the phone in use, which seems to exculpate the doze mode but I'm not 100% sure and it is much more rare.
This is really annoying to me as I didn't have this issue with my old Nexus 5 and which I don't have on my work iPhone. I try to convince myself that it is not a big deal but it's not easy ^^.
I tried to contact Google on this but they weren't helpful on that matter.

There a 120 pages post on the OnePlus forum about this issue on the OnePlus 3, even before OOS 4.
Can you tell me where is the "Do Not Optimize" option you're talking about (despite it is not working, strangely) thanks !
if you are ready to sacrifice a little bit of battery life, you can turn off Doze. You would need to do that in 2 places.
1. Settings -> Battery -> Three dots top right -> Aggressive doze and app hibernation -> Turn off
2. Settings -> About Phone -> Keep taping Build Number until phone marks you as a developer -> Go back one screen -> Developer Options -> Doze mode -> Turn off
I hope this helps.

Thanks for the tip.
I will give it a try but read on the OnePlus forum that it was not really a game changer.
I hope people working on Android know about this "feature" and will correct it soon if it has an impact on all Android N users !
I have that same issue.
Everything was working for me perfectly then all of sudden. Notification for Gmail Google plus and WhatsApp stops working no matter I am on mobile network or WiFi.
It work only when I open the app
I am on RR Rom
The easiest fix I found for my work email (Nine), which wasn't getting timely push notifications... was to just turn off battery optimization for this app. That made it perfect and instant notifications again. Presumably it uses more battery in this mode, but I still need it.

How exactly does one turn off optimization? I can't find that option. Thanks

I guess this is issue with number of handsets, I am facing this issue in my leeco LE 2 as well. Thinking of upgrading to op3t just for this issue but found this thread, what a bummer.

It's kindof hidden:
Go to Settings-> Battery-> 3 dots in upper right
Then in Battery Optimization section, select 'All apps' from the pulldown selector at top.
Then find your app and change it to 'not optimized'

Yes it was kind of like an easter egg but I found it. Notifications are coming in on time so far I hope that's fixed the problem. Thank you

I dont find Gmail in the listed app?
In the Battery Menu/3 dots I don't have a Battery Optimisation Section but 2 settings (with my own translation from French to English, sorry about that) :
- apps hibernation & doze
- greedy application management
In the first option, there's a selector to activate or not the Apps hibernation & aggressive doze --> I disabled the option (and one can choose the app to optimize or not, but gmail is not on the list)
In the second option, I have a selector to allow to shutdown automatically "greedy" apps --> I disabled the option
However, in the Applications menu, while choosing the wheel then the Special Access Menu, there's an option for "Battery Optimisation" in which one can choose - one by one - the Apps that are optimised or not.
Anyway, for me, disabling the Doze mode in the Developper options seems to solve the problem with Gmail but i still have issues with delayed/lost notifications for other Apps (Twitter, Le Monde, ...).
And I'm running 4.0.3

That's weird, I do have Gmail listed in mine. Make sure you set it to show all apps.
Also, I haven't done anything unusual with Gmail, like converted it to a system app, for example. It was flashed as part of Gapps Micro.
FI, just posted a bug report on that issue : https://forums.oneplus.net/threads/random-delay-with-push-notificatio-ns.500958/
