[Q] mmuzzy 4.2.1 and screen dimming

I installed mmuzzy 4.2.1 ROM on my phone and have been quite happy with it. The only problem I have is that the screen dims after about 30 seconds and I can't find a brightness setting that will allow me to disable this feature. Does anyone have a way to turn this off?

settings -> display -> sleep (not sure if that is what you want as you've probably seen it). I don't think there is a setting to stop it from dimming before turning off. Increasing the time to off keeps it from dimming as soon.

Sorry, not good enough

I want the dimming off completely.
I turned the developer options on and told to leave the screen on when charging. But it still dims. Once it dims, it's impossible to see the screen while in the car. 4.1 never dimmed. I may go back to the 4.1, since this seriously impacts my ability to use the phone in my car.

You might be able to set up a tasker profile to keep the screen on in the car. I've done that in the past for use in the car. I would guess that this feature is at the kernel level, so you could try a different kernel.

I'm just rolling back to 4.1. 4.2.1 didn't buy me anything feature-wise.

It seems someone has files a bug for this
http://code.google.com/p/android/is...im&colspec=ID Type Status Owner Summary Stars
If people could please star this issue, I would really appreicate it. I have a Nexus 10 now, and don't have an option to roll back to 4.1 and this is really annoying.

New question - can anyone help?

I just got a new Note 10.1 2014. I haven't yet rooted it though I plan to.
There must be a simple answer to this though I can't find it.* I have three Note 2s, a Note 3, and have been routing phones for many years going back to early HTC Windows phones. But alas I haven't found what must be a self evident to most.
How do I get rid of this persistent constant Samsung advertisement for the Note 10.1 features.* When I go into sleep (by this I mean push the power button briefly -- not power off) or close the lid so the screen goes dark, within a few seconds the screen starts up again with this never ending advertisement that begins with a helicopter flying and then proceeds with video of every feature of the device - at least from Samsung's perspective. So last night I put the device to sleep with a full battery charge and didn't realize the screen was reactivated by this b annoyance and was on all night even though the cover was closed. In the morning the device was off with zero battery.
I don't know if they consider this a screen saver or what but I can't find how to turn it off.
Can someone help?* Thank you very much.

Might be that you have daydream feature and it came with a small demo of the tablet's features. Check under display settings to see if that's the problem.

Thanks, I checked the daydream feature under display setting and it is off. So this is something else. Any other ideas?

It sounds like it's in some type of demo mode. I've never seen what you're describing including the first time I turned it on out-of-the-box. Did you buy it open-box or as a former floor model? You might want to try a hard reset and see if it's still there afterward.

It is using it as a screen saver. Set wallpaper. lock screen - and change/stop it...

Check under device administrators too

I think changing screen saver might have been the way to go and would probably have fixed it (though I don't know). But I did a hard reset and all is now right with the world. Thanks for all of your help guys. I appreciate it

Keep Watch dimmed?

So I just got the Moto 360 for christmas and I wondered, if there is something to keep the screen dimmed?
I already found out that you can keep the screen always-on with a launcher and it's also possible to have the brightness the same as when it's in dim mode.
But it's pretty annoying, that you then have to change the brightness everytime you actually want to use it.
It would be awesome if there was something to keep it dimmed, and e.g. when pressing the button it goes back to normal mode..
greetings and happy holidays!

You would be better off turning the ambient screen mode off, using automatic brightness, and just pressing the hardware button on the side (or tapping the screen) to turn the screen on.
Unless you want to be constantly carrying a charger around, that is.

Okay, thanks for the advice!

@3m7ecc actually the new version of android wear (1.4) made this. If you turn on ambient mode, your watch will be dimmed, and when you tap on button or screen, the normal mode is activated. But don't expect a full day without charging. All that I want is 5.1.1 root and something like kernel auditor, slowing the cpu frequencies and lasts 3-4 days with dimm mode

There is a topic that explains how to force firmware update, try to follow those steps

I tried that, but there's no update available..
Is the update even available for the 1st gen?

Ambient Mode?

I see a few posts here (and other places) mentioning an Ambient Mode.
I cannot find anything in the User Guide about it and I do not see any settings for it.
I am on: Android 6.0.1 - android Wear 1.4.0.2621048
(On a Zenwatch MSQWI500Q Build # MEC23S)
There is an Always on Screen, but it does not do anything.
I just noticed in the Asus Zenwatch Manager - the Face Settings - Dim Screen after - Never; does work.

It has always worked okay on mine. It does turn off after a while if you set it down or put it in to charge, but it stays on while wearing it.

Both of those are old. Are you able to update to the latest versions?

When I try to update on my Zenwatch (Settings - about - system updates - it says it is up to date
My Note 4 has AndroidWear 1.5.0.2951640.gms on it
I will try searching to see any way to force this
Maybe unpair - then reset my zenwatch?
It is only a week old (for me - I bought it "refurb")

Hmm. Resetting is worth a try, since there's not really a downside. I also found this, which might help: http://forum.xda-developers.com/zen...-zenwatch-manager-facer-t3334255#post65815338

Thanks - I will give that idea a try
I have no setting anywhere for a reset <-- Ahh I just found it!
It is called Unpair with phone in settings
It says "unpair & factory reset" when I tap on Unpair

I did manage to get it to update after a good bit of tinkering (unpairing - old versions of Android Wear <-- That did not work for me)
Anyway I now have:
Android Wear 1.5.0.2884951
Build Number MWD48B
I still have no Setting about ambient mode - but at least I am updated Thank You!
It seems to be just a bit smoother now too.

I have searched all over and cannot find ANYTHING that tells how to get ambient mode "on".
I tried a few of the Watch Faces in Asus's Zenwatch app also to see if any had some settings
I wonder if it is something that Google Dropped in 6.0.1 ?

I think maybe the term "ambient mode" is specific to the Moto 360, but I think it's sometimes also used by people to refer to the dim mode of the "Screen always on" option. Will your screen still not stay on all the time with that option on?

If I just set Screen Always on - on my Zenwatch - it goes off in a few seconds (actually to the time set in the Zenwatch Manager App on my Phone)
If I set "Dim screen after" on my phone in Zenwatch Manager App to never, it seems like it will just stay on all the time (My guess is battery would not last long that way)!
I am at almost 20 minutes now and still in full color.
I just layed the Zenwatch on dy desk so I did not wake it up by moving around.
I set it to 30 secound and in apx 30 seconds it goes black/off

With screen always on, the normal behavior is that it's full-color for 8 seconds (I think), then it goes to dim mode, which is just pure black and white on most faces. Using WatchMaker, I have mine set to 10 seconds. The battery on my ZenWatch still lasts about 2 days with screen always on, though I still charge it every night anyway. Try uninstalling ZenWatch Manager. It's not really necessary. I don't have it installed.

Well I uninstalled Zenwatch Manager - installed Watchmaker - picked the first face Steel Blue - Just Digits
Set "Keep Watch Awake" to 10 seconds
And it still goes off in the 10 seconds.
I even rebooted my Phone and my Zenwatch same
What about some setting in Android Wear?
Only one I see is Always On Screen slide switch it is set to on - but setting it to off does not change the way it works

Yeah, the only thing I have is "Always-on screen," too. I have it, and "Tilt to wake screen" both set to on. I'm at a loss at this point. It seems likely it's a software problem of some kind, but I don't know where to look next.

Well thank you for trying to Help!
I appreciate it!
I just noticed something interesting:
If I set Always On Screen on my Zenwatch: When it goes to sleep (so to say): It first goes dim then it goes black and white. - But then it goes off.
If I have Always On Screen off: It just Goes DIm then off
So my take on mine is it is a glitch of a defect.
I will probably live with it as I bought it as Refurbished

Hi!
I have exactly the same problem ! But it came after updating my zenwatch to 6.0.1 (M1D63K) .
Have you found a solution?

I'm on the same boat. Always On Display is activated, tried doing it on the watch, on the Wear App and the ZenWatch manager. No luck. I've received OTA updates regularly, but none have worked.
I'm posting in the hopes of finding a solution. I've had this watch way beyond the warranty period, so there's no way I'll be able to return it to Asus.

Was a solution ever found? i am now experiencing this problem after owning the watch for 2 years. It has never happen before.

screen sleep issue

So let me know if you have the same issue... No matter how long I set my screen off time for, it always goes go sleep after 10 seconds!

Don't have that issue here. ATT version

I do not have that issue either (AT&T). Perhaps there is an email account or other "administrator" that requires a short screen timeout? I have seen that before.

Are you talking about the main screen or the active display when the actual screen goes off?

The main screen. I turned moto display off and it still happens

I ever tried rebooting into safe mode and same problem.. Going to try a factory reset later

My motoz2 is doing this same thing. And it is frustrating. (Verizon). Have you figured out how to fix this?

Do you have adaptive brightness turned on?

So I did a master reset and didn't connect my tumi battery until the play store updated the moto mod app to the newest version.. No more screen issue! I highly recommend anyone who gets this phone, update the app first before you attach any type of mod.
