Auto brightnes failure after Android 10 update - Redmi Note 8 Pro Questions & Answers

Hi,
mine Redmi Note 8 PRO worked well until the Android 10 OTA upgrade.
After it autobrightnes does not work well anymore.
At some point it simply drops to very low level and wont change regardles the light density. Either being dark or very sunny it will simply be at level of about 10%.
If i reboo the fone autobrightnes will start work again. At some point idk wich it simply stops.
Anyone with same isue and posible fix?

I encounter the same problem sir. Been searching for a while. Hoping that there is a fix.

That sounds annoying, but I have not experienced it (Global version).
I hope somebody with an "inside" connection to Xiaomi is collecting and reporting this and other bugs.
I know there is a "Mi Community" forum, but the last time I looked at it, it seemed mostly like advertising.

Ok, after reeboot sensor works fine again. I can confirm nearly 100% that it got messed up with playing a game. Also Roaming data does the same. It switches OFF. Then i reebot and switch it back on it stays until sensor brakes. Then reboot again. Damn.

Same here

Hi,
thank you for the replay. I did what u said. Got into CIT menu and checked all sensor. Aperantly all including LIGHT sensor works fine. Under aditonal tol i did NOT found light sensor to calibrate.
However when i will get the light sensor problem ill go into menu and see if it stil works and report.
Thx

I too face same problem.
I too face similar problem, I'm using global version. I had updated to latest version. Now MIUI 11 with Android 10. Now i manually adjust screen brightness. Every time i restart the device its working, but once it goes to low brightness it won't auto adjust again.
I saw some post in reddit. It says it may be because of AI. Not sure, any MIUI insiders please take note, also fix it in next update.

My Global Version works fine.
In a dark area the brightness is low, pull down the status bar to check, Walk into a bright area and the screen gets brighter, check status bar, Then walk back into a dark are and the display goes dark, No Problems and it`s been a week since i last rebooted.

If you want to try..
Back up first data which is important..
Then wipe all data in recovery 3.0 menu
This metode will delete all apps you have installed and delete all data photo etc..
If its not fixed auto brightness sensor
You need to flash yor devices with mi flash tool but you must unlock bootloader first..

The solution is to delete the update of Themes app.
I reverted back to 1.5.3.6-global version and the auto brightness problem gone!
After reverting a phone restart also needed.

Indeed, i have a feeling playing games is the triger. I unisntaled Theme app,... so far so good,.. but didnt have much time to play with the phone.... Will report later. Since yesterdays uninstal no problem yet
EDIT:
Removing THEM APP does not help.

Same here, the auto brightness is no longer working. It defaults to either a very dim or very bright setting. Rebooting resolves the issue temporarily but the it reverts back.
Uninstalling the Themes app updates does not seem to resolve the issue but I'll keep an eye on that.

Indeed uninstaling theme app does not help for me neither. Error is stil present.

I don't game on the phone and have seen no problems with the brightness, The screen goes bright and dark normally as the environmental light level changes.

I don't game on the phone either. It used to work fine until the latest update I think (MIUI version 11.03.0 (QGGEUXM)).
Although, it could've started with update to Android 10 (11.02.0) and I didn't notice!
What version are you on?

That's strange, same build but different behaviour. I'll have a look at the ultra battery save patch to see if that helps.
One more thing I'd like to check. There was a mention of uninstalling the Themes app updaes. I tried that, and at first it didn't seem to make a difference. However, since I rebooted the auto brightness seems to have been working for nearly a week but not sure if it will last!
Can you please confirm the version of the Themes app on your phone.

Lightflow

Seen reports of people saying Lightflow messes with Ambient Display. Can anyone confirm this?
This should be in Q&A section. Anyway, I have both Ambient Display and Light Flow on. Light Flow does not mess with AD, and works quite well with it. Light flow colors work. I have the Pro version of Light Flow.

Sorry, the question is about an app so I thought goes here? Anyway. How does your AB work? Does it pulse randomly (like Moto X) or only when lifted or notification?
I used light flow pro and it forced screen wakes for a few minutes without a notification being present then it calms down. I uninstalled it and ambient display stays off unless there is a notification

Got it. Without Lightflow, there are only 3-4 pulses. With, it never ends.

Ah, I noticed that too but hadn't put that down to Light Flow.
I have a GWR, so disabled Ambient Display anyway.
Has anyone got the Sleep function to work?
No matter what Light Flow settings I use - at night, the LED continues to light up my room, so I have to leave the phone face-down at the moment...
I've been emailing the developer about it - but he's waiting for his 5X to turn up (as he's also ordered a 6P, he has to wait for that to turn up in the same delivery...)
I have enabled notification light through Settings and am able to generate a white light flash (repeating) when gmail receives. Has anyone noted fingerprint security have any negative impacts on notifications like this (more curiosity than anything)?
Admittedly its been some time since I have had to use lightflow pro; good app, just been awhile so I may be rusty on settings I am betting.

Lightflow is one of my standard apps. Unfortunately, it was draining my battery on the 5x regardless of the settings I had set. Looking forward to an update after the dev can optimize for MM/5X/6P.

Anyone else having an issue with lightflow and mms alerts needing to be cleared manually in the app?
To anyone who has Lightflow pro running well: would you mind posting your settings?
I've tried every combination I can think of: root mode on/off, run every command as root on/off, etc. The best the app can manage is a brief pulse on, then off, then a quick on/off before the LED stays off. Have tried direct mode, too. Tried the Legacy version, but it doesn't cover a lot of apps.
I can't seem to get any consistent results otherwise.

Just as a note: I looked at their website, and tried installing the Legacy version without uninstalling the paid version. All apps show. Legacy version works fine.

Yes! I just got the 5x and am settling down with stock Android for a while. Rooted and Xposed. It will be maybe 2-3 days before I start installing custom ROMs! Thanks for the headsup on this particular ROM!

I have only had it for one night but it seemed to work fine for me. I changed the sleep method to "time" (it defaults to NFC or something) and set the "start time" to 10:30pm and the "end time" to 6:00AM. I also have ambient display disabled. I am not sure what GWR is though. Also make sure in each app notification setting you do not have "exclude from sleep mode" checked.
I'm using paid version of LF. For now I'm not rooted.
I noticed behaviour you've already talked about.
1. If I'm using ambient screen I always have notifiction icon "Number of notifications". Can I hide that?
I know I can hide it if I disable app notification, but in that case Light flow don't work anymore ...
2. Is there any solution with messing ambient screen and LW led. After recieved notification ambient lights on few times and completely mess up LF ...
Is Legacy version solving those problems?
Thank you.
edit: I solved problem with legacy.
I have en issue with lighflow legacy that when I set my gmail notification to switch screen on, it won't play the notification sound correctly, the screen will light and notification sound is not completed when email is received, it is like once the screen switch on, the notification sound won't complete till the end. Anyone noticed that? disabling switch screen on, will make the notification sound fine.
I have this problem with a N5x and LightFlow.
It doesnt matter if I do use Lightflow normal or legacy, because on legacy I kept seeing a Lightflow notification and the screen turns on with ambient display continuously due to this :S

New Firmware 47.1.A.12.34

Out for a few markets, based on the build number alone I would say just a bump to the January security update.
Downloading now (233,4MB for customized DE)
Edit: Can confirm, it's security update 1.1.2018
Device feels a lot snapier (like scrolling etc.).
Didn't find anything new.
Can't see any difference except security updates from 1.1.2018.
BTW guys, do you use notifications "priorities" in drop-down notifications panel?
Since the start of using XZ1c I have put my monitoring app to low priority so the app's notification bar was very slim in the notifications panel.
I've done hard reset now when updating the phone and I can't see such feature any more. Did they move it somewhere or it's gone?
I'm not talking about configuring audio/vibrations - this feature it's there for apps created for Oreo - I'm talking about customizing notification bar size in drop-down notifications panel.

Try to long press mini button in notification panel, al appear a new hidden menu, should be what you are looking for
Anyone who got this update using Linux and would like to give USB-Tethering a try? I'm stuck on an old version (47.1.A.5.51) and on this one, USB tethering download speeds are terrible (lots of RX packet errors, <1Mbps download speed). This was also an issue with some OnePlus phones which was fixed with a software update, so I'm hopeful that Sony will also fix it (although seeing how the smart lock blank screen bug is still there, my hopes aren't very high)

This enables/disables UI Calibrator (addidtional submenu in System menu) but there are no options regarding notifications.
What I'm talking about is shown below. Earlier I was able to assign chosen apps (for example System Panel monitoring tool) to low priority notifications, in picture below these are Clipper+, Network Monitor and USB charging device. "Android System 2 apps are using battery" is a normal priority notification here:

This is getting really depressing; those of us using USA firmware are being treated as second-class citizens. We're still on 47.1.A.2.234 with the August 2017 security patch.
Hm I didn't get an OTA as well and I'm on the North Columbian build (I think).
Don't want to reflash everything just because of a security patch.

I went looking for a manual firmware update for the g8141 on the US version and don't see it. that sucks! I would suggest you consider flashing to CE1, not only will it enable your fingerprint scanner it's updated more frequently.

There's a workaround for that. In Security, go to Trusted Agents and turn off smart lock, then reboot and turn it back on and the problem is solved.

Is "CE1" an official stock firmware? I haven't done any firmware flashing since the days of Symbian; could you perhaps point me to a "Sony firmware flashing 101" tutorial that you would recommend? I want to make sure that I do it correctly. Thanks.

Customized DE and GEL seem to get updates even faster than CE1 from what I've seen. CE1 is still on 8.49 as of writing this, but DE and GEL are on 12.34. I'm currently running Customized UK and thinking of switching to one of those since I'm impatient.

Any other feedback on the new firmware? Still not availabe here in the UK.

Thaaaanks! I have been waiting for this since August
Hi I just installed this rom but had to uninstall it: The screen never goes off, after pressing the power button it goes off but a second after it shows a black screen with the time on it, it's not the lockscreen, the lockscreeen appears afterwards....
Another thing I noticed is the lack of "xiaomi options" like the ones in Havoc Os or Syberia OS. The system UI is not very smooth but the apps are really snappy. It's a shame because this rom had signature spoofing working and the others I mentioned have it but it doesn't work
Thanks, downloading now..
Clean flash advised or can I go straight from lineage 16?

Please don't be rude, in trying to find some information, i was polite.
Ambient display doesn't behave like that per se, ok? the screen staying on on this rom I think it's a bug and not only a matter of turning an option off, that's why I asked. do you understand it now? Ambient display doesn't leave your screen on ALL the time like it happens in this rom, do you understand it now?
Is it daily driver material? Battery backup and smoothness?

it's not clear whether the problem with the screen on
all the time is just a matter of turning ambient display off. I wouldn't install it until it's confirmed. There's a new build today, perhaps some bugs have been fixed. The system UI is not smooth. Sensors work out of the box and signature spoofing works. I didn't test anything else.
I'll disable ambient display default on next weekly !!
Hi there, I have been using this rom for a couple of days. I've noticed that some of the system settings don't stay after a reboot, you have to reapply them. At least it happens with the sim card settings, not sure about every single one of the others. Sound settings seem to stay as they were after a reboot.
I can't find an option to have the fingerprint sensor to wake up device like in other roms, perhaps this rom doesn't have this feature. Also I had to install a third party app to swap recents and back buttons. I couldn't find an option for this either.
The battery life seems good, similar or perhaps better than lineage 14.1.
Signature Spoofing works and the sensors work out of the box.
I can say it's good for a daily usage. I haven't found a reason to uninstall it
I have trouble with the gps lock times but this happens in every rom I try, nougat or pie... quite annoying. Maybe I should edit the gps.conf file
Thanks to the developer

Thanks for the new features in the last update
- fingerprint wakes device, swap buttons option, phone more responsive, etc...
I manage to fix the gps, it was a problem with microg, I installed more backends for location and it only takes 2 seconds for the first fix..
This is the only pie rom that has everything working out of the box.
Great!

Not receiving notifcations/Receiving them late - Note 10+/Exynos

Hey guys.
I have been using this phone for a number of days, and it seems like ever since I activated a battery saving option which I can't seem to single out, I stopped receiving notification when the phone is locked and/or I'm receiving them with a delay. receiving
I'm also having a problem with things that requires the phone to have an active data/wi-f- connection when locked, like WhatsApp Web or Google photos backup.
There is no data/wi-fi saving or limiting option enabled. I specifically added gmail, whatsapp and other app that I wish to receive lock notifications from to the "Not optimized" list.
I'm attaching my battery settings screenshots for reference.

I would really appreciate your help.
Thanks.
This issue is old for like 2 years now.
Happening in my note 8, 9 and now 10.
Not a single solution that will work.
I'm having the same problem. Never had it before
Follow these steps! I found my Zedge app that controls my custom notifications in the 'Sleeping Apps' container. Once I removed the app, all my notifications started working again.

I have Zedge installed but I didn't give it notification access. Your link is wrong :silly:
I had a similar issue with delayed notifications on my S10+ and turning off Adaptive battery helped. You can also try that and pls do post back if it helps. Thanks.

It looks like disabling Adaptive Battery helped a bit, but it is still not perfect. In addition, I don't understand why adding the specific apps to the "Not Optimized" list does not affect anything.

Sorry about that errant link to Fantasy Football.
Here is the link to follow to remove Apps that Adaptive Battery settings put in 'jail' so they won't ever run in the background.
Promise its not Fantasy Football but steps to help fix notifications/slowness
I don't think it's anything to do with adaptive battery.
If you go into the developer menu and down to the bottom there is an option standby apps. Once in there you'll see apps listed, if they're set to ACTIVE they are allowed to do what they like. Even with full battery optimisation set Gmail is always ACTIVE and is still having issues. I think it's actually an issue with the phone going into some kind of standby mode. Sometimes it does and therefore notifications are off and sometimes it doesn't and everything is fine.
I tried everything mentioned here and it seems to work for about one day and then the delay was back (especially in WhatsApp).

Further to this, it doesn't seem to be an issue when the device is charging so presumably thats keeping something alive.
This thread has been inactive for weeks but I think this problem still exists. A Google search for "lockscreen notification delay" brings up a number of reports from various Samsung, Oneplus and other Android users - but still no single solution.
For a while I did not even think I had the problem because it does not appear unless your phone is inactive for about 10-15 minutes.
The problem appears to have something to do with changes to Optimize Battery Settings not sticking.
I found a workaround but it has to be done everytime the phone is rebooted.
- Under Optimize Battery Usage make sure that Whatsapp,Gmail or whatever notification app is being delayed is NOT Optimized
- Use the ADB command "adb shell dumpsys deviceidle disable". This has to be done from a computer with the phone connected to it. Or if you have root you can run it directly from the phone using Terminal Emulator.
Somebody from the Oneplus forums has also created a Magisk Module that appears to work on Samsung phones. You can find it in post #65 here: https://forum.xda-developers.com/oneplus-6t/how-to/guide-notification-fix-100-t3865551/page7
Is this the only way to fix this or has somebody found a better way?
At first, when I downloaded, installed, put the accounts, and all pertinent stuff, I observed this problem, no mails and no whatsapps until waking the device, or worst, had to enter the apps, but, I found the above solutions/steps, and, everything is working fine since Sept 13th, no delays, all working fine, even battery life is really good
I've got the issue only when activating moderate power save.
I set none app in the optimise wishlist.

The moderate power save also caused issues with late notifications on my device. I've only turned it on to test it but even after putting back to optimised and/or high mode did not rectify the issue. Somehow, few days later, I've managed to correct it but I've done so many changes that I've no idea how or what fixed it.
I had this issue on my S10 + to particularly with whatsapp! Messages would come in delayed or i just wouldnt get the notification for some reason! I never figured it out unfortunately but thankfully it seems to be ok on my note 10 + which is strange because i literally have this device set up EXACTLY the same as my S10 + in terms of settings etc ! If i remember correctly however, My S10+ didnt have this issue at the beginning!

Question Experience any bugs on the Vivo X80 Pro? Let's share and help each other!

So the few of us that bought this phone so far probably encountered some bugs here and there.
Let's share them and try to help each other, or even make Vivo aware of it.
1) Not Vivo exclusive, but the LTPO 3.0 display never drops to 1hz for me.
I've read it happens on S22 as well, OPPO, ONP phones.
Will update more in the future.
My refresh rate is set at 120hz but why does it still go down to as low as 10? Shouldn't it remain 120 no matter what since that's where I set it?
That's how LTPO works, in order to save battery as well.
You barely notice it though, i also set 120hz and i don't feel when it gets down.
set light mode and brightness more than 70% and screen will go 1hz at still.
problems - a lot of apps crashes/not start. diablo immortal not working at all

From 10hz to 1hz probably won't make much difference anyway.
As for Diablo immortal, it works great here no crashes at all.
Have you tried clearing the cache out?

But isn't that what smart switch is for? Why have the option for smart switch, 60, 120 if it'll always switch anyway? I feel it's what's causing the stutters even when I'm just scrolling
you have global rom (funtouch) or CN Origin?
Diablo works fine when i got device (OriginOS) but after last update of firmware a lot of apps wont work now

You are right, the stutters are due to LPTO 3.0 and the way Vivo implanted it.
They might fix it, but we need to ask them.

Yeah I hope they do release a fix. Not that it's a deal breaker but I'm just used to smooth scrolling with my Pixel phone
Well let them know then.
I'll open a ticket.

Just curious, one question to the owners of funtouch os: do you have google lens integrated into your camera app enabling a barcode scan?
I do not find any possibility to do that with the global (origin os, Chinese) version. Apparently one needs an extra barcode scanning app...

You can scan barcodes in Jovi Vision.
Camera -> More -> Jovi Vision.
But I think only chinese barcodes are supported.
It didn't work for any euro barcode I tried.

I've noticed that after using the vivo 50W wireless charger to charge the phone to 100% then checking battery health in devcheck or any other app for that matter it will show "Overvoltage" in battery health. Sometimes it happens randomly during the day. It will return back to "Good" after rebooting the phone but then after a while it will show Overvoltage again. Is this because the phone has dual-cell battery? A software bug? Because I'm not having any battery issues whatsoever like overheating and battery backup has been great.
Whilst using night mode sometimes, the phone takes too long to process. Then ends up turning the picture into a fully green picture. So none of the original image is saved. Only green screen. Any ideas on how to fix this?
