dimming

is there a dimming option on this phone?
sometimes after a real short period, the screen will go dim
but as soon as you touch any part of the screen it will go back to normal brightness
where is the dim setting for this?(to set the amount of time to wait before dimming screen)

When it dims, check under Settings > Brightness and see if it warns you about Overheating.
If it does, check my thread.
If not, it may be the power saving options also in Settings > Display.

While not a timer, you can make manual adjustments. Turn off auto brightness in display settings. Then, to increase or decrease brightness, place your finger on the status bar and slide it left or right.

[Q] Auto Adjust Screen Tone setting missing.

My Xperia ZL keeps dimming its screen automatically every time when the phone gets warm, it's very annoying since it happens on my previous Xperia S as well, I can't find "Auto Adjust Screen Tone" setting or check box in display settings.
How can or can I disable the Auto Adjust Screen Tone on my ZL?

As far I'm aware, It's in the Display>Brightness setting, and turn off "Adapt to lightning conditions".

There should be two different settings on android, Adapt to lightning conditions n Auto adjust screen tone.

There are two factors that automatically adjust screen brightness.
First is based on ambient light. It will set backlight brighter if you are in brighter place, and dim it if you move to dark. It could be controlled or even disabled in "display" settings menu.
Second one is "dynamic contrast". It sets brightness of backlight based on currently displayed image. For example "dull", low contrast image will have backlight reduced to save power, while image with more contrast will have brighter backlight. This can't be switched off or controlled by any apps, from what I know even custom ROMs still have it on, probably it's hardware-controlled.

I can't disable screen wake for notifications.

No matter what I do the screen always turns on when I get a text or email. I have tried different texting apps and I have also disabled screen wake in those apps but the screen still turned on. I think that it must be some phone setting that I haven't found. How can I turn this setting off?

In settings - display there's a setting there, have you turned that off? Ambient Display it is

Thanks! I feel stupid...

Blue light filter permanently enabled

Hello,
Starting a couple days ago my Fiance's s8+ began enabling the blue light filter at sundown, problem is that we have her blue light filter disabled. If we turn on the blue light filter, it will become a little stronger, but remains enabled when toggled off. I have attempted to set a schedule that runs it for a minute at like 0400, but the filter remains on. If we reboot the phone, the Tmobile boot screen is pure cool glorious white and remains that way until the login screen appears, then it slides into blue light filter
Phone: Galaxy s8+
Software: R16NW.G955USQU2CRB9
Symptoms
* Blue light filter is on, even after being disabled or tricked into shutting off
* Blue light filter is enabling at sundown and disabling at sunrise
Settings:
* Blue light filter is disabled from the settings menu
* Blue light filter is not on a schedule
Trouble shooting and info:
* Disabled all apps permission to draw over the screen
* Wiped Blue light filter system app storage
* Rebooted
* Searched for suspicious apps
* toggled location and rebooted
* Blue light filter remains enabled even when color settings are modified
* Blue light filter remains on even when accessibility color settings are modified.
* Blue light filter appears to disable when Negative colors is enabled.
* Blue light filter does not appear in screen shots
This is driving us bonkers and we would like to avoid factory resetting the phone, so any advise from experience is appreciated.
Yes, I searched the forum, but could not find what I needed.

This is a result of having night light set to automatic in Google Play books.It seems to toggle the Android OS implementation of a similar feature.

Moto G6 [17.1/ali] idle time/date/battery screen is always on

I installed LineageOS 17.1 on my Moto G6 "ali". Its working fantastically except there seems to be no way to turn off the 'idle' screen that shows the Time/Date, and the battery percentage at the bottom.
Lock Screen is set to none, Screen Saver is set to none, Moto -> Ambient Display is set to off. I've turn off everything I can find, but the screen is still there. I believe it is killing my battery because an LCD screen cannot turn on just a few pixels the way an OLED screen can and I think thats what this page was made for. Anyone know whats going on and how to turn it off?

Strange. What GApps have you installed? Can you try without for evaluation?

After a lot of trial and error and asking around, the problem has been found. Display -> Lock Screen -> Always show Time is the setting, but Display -> Lock Screen is not available when the Lock Screen is set to None in Security. I added a PIN lock, got to the menu to turn off Always show Time, then removed the PIN lock, and its fixed now!
