I' ve got a strange problem: regardless of any brightness settings, my phone dims down the brightness after 30 seconds. When I touch the screen it goes back to normal, but after 30 seconds it dims down again. It's annoying. Anyone got a solution for that ???
TIA

This is normal behavior when autobrightnes is disabled.
o.k. - but I got this behavior with auto-brightness on !

settings - display - sleep is "never go to sleep"
and still I got this annoying dim-down ...
That is also normal HTC behaviour.
The screen will stay on, but it will dim regardless of your time-out setting.

thx for the info.
Is there any workaround you are aware of ?

No, not that I'm aware off.
Even with Tasker, the screen will stay on, but it will dim...

You might want to try Screebl from the play store.

My old Nexus 7 2012 flicker as hell when the brightness is totally dark with low wifi signal active. I wonder if the new one has the same problem???
My tablet flicker when:
1. Weak WiFi signal.
2. Backlight dimmed to under 30%.
3. A program that constantly accesses the net. Such as Google Maps.
Thanks
Mine does, oddly I think I'm the only one experiencing it.
Turn off auto-brightness if its on.

I tried that, put brightness to about 30%, then bam, my backlight shut off! Took me forever to turn the brightness above 30% to get it to come back on again.
On the new 2013 Nexus brightness at the completely lowest setting is never completely off! It should just barely be lit but in a dark room you can clearly see the screen even at the very lowest setting. I keep mine at way under 25 percent, or much less than a quarter of the way and its comfortable enough to read indoors. I also keep Auto Brightness turned off and don't get any flicker.

It is my understanding that the display is supposed to dim, but never shutoff when ambient mode is selected. Is this true? if so, since mine does shutoff, could the fact that I have a screen protector be impacting this?

No it will still shut off after a certain amount of time. It's normal from what I heard.

Also, if you want to turn it off....
There is an Ambient setting in the Android Wear application on your phone/tablet.
If you wait for the watch to dim, and then uncheck the Ambient setting box the screen will turn off.
Good luck!
It has to do with orientation and motion. It dims most of the time but is able to turn off if not in use or held down at your side.

Thanks all. All the reviews online indicate that when ambient screen is enabled,the face would never shutoff, but enter a dimmed state. This clears it up. so the only difference between ambient and ambient mode off is that it would shutoff immedietely instead of entering a dimmed state prior to fully shutting off?

Basically. Ambient mode is on and dimmed quite a bit. Not always. Just a lot.
Ambient mode off basically dims the screen briefly before turning it off completely.
While ambient mode off seems like it would be bad, it's not. The gesture to turn it on is pretty sensitive and responsive. Also, you can just touch the screen or the button to turn it on as well.
?
Anyone know if you can turn off the gesture motion and only turn it on by pushing button. I believe this would save a ton of battery.
Just driving into work this morning the screen turned on 20+ times on a 45min commute.

Yeah just about everyone wants that feature so I would expect it to be included in a future update sometime, it's mentioned on basically every page of this thread:

My Moto G6 play was a great phone until a few mins ago the screen was nice and bright then all of a sudden my screen wouldn't turn on, or anything for that matter. So I plugged it in to see if it had died, the only thing I got it to do was blink a white led at me.then all of a sudden the screen came on but the only way I can see it is too take it into a pitch black room and the brightness is set at 100%. What can I do?

Sounds like you have auto brightness on. Just go into the settings and display and look for the option to turn of autobrighness then set the brightness to your desired one

It also sounds like your phone died.... And if you haven't turned auto brightness off it might possibly will automatically set your screens brightness depending on your lighting...

Hmmmm. Is your device bootloader still locked? honestly if it is just do a warranty replacement tbh
Yes it's still locked, and that definitely sounds like a winner, because she's only had the phone a week and a half.

Yea I would just take it back if its that new lol
Anyone else have this issue? Whenever I disable it, it turns back on as soon as screen times out. Only thing I can do as a temporary fix is set it to schedule for 7:00am-7:01 am
Even with the tap to show option on?
I have mine set to tap to show and it stays off.

It's switching to show always on it's own. And when I turn it off completely, it will switch it self back on. The only setting that sticks is when I set it to a schedule.

Just check that you do not have a Bixby routine, running in the background, that turns it on.

Do you use AOD notify?

I do
AOD notify relies Precisely on AOD, I think that is the cause of the behaviour you describe

That seems to be it, thanks! It's funny though. I changed a setting in AOD notify and now my stock aod keeps turning off, the opposite of what is was doing.
I set the Screen timeout to 30 mins and then if I turn off the screen manually or reboot, it reverts back to 1 min, the same for adaptive brightness, (Adaptive brightness keeps toggling itself off. Is there something I'm missing or an ADB command I can use to default the timeout to 30 mins? It's beyond frustrating!!!
Just a guess, but is adaptive battery turned on?

Also, if this issue still plagues you, i found battery saver and extreme battery saver today, maybe one of those is on and you carry your phone at a low battery often, just a thought
I've been playing with both Adaptive battery options and the screen timeout will sometimes keep it's setting and then will revert back to default the next reboot. My Adaptive display will keep turning itself off sporadically as well. I'm stumped. Battery saver and extreme are both off. I do use the app 'hibernator'. Maybe that is causing the problem?
