screen turning darker

Hi,
When I start the TD, after 5-6 seconds the screen turns a bit darker...
I find this too fast... Can I change the value?
Thanks

Dude come on!! just go to settings-->system-->power-->advanced.
Now get the hell out a here before you get burned!

hey... no... this isn't correct...
values are set to 30 and 40 seconds..
My screen dimms a bit after 6 seconds already... to turn off after 30 seconds... so this can NOT be the place to change this setting.
Hope I don't get killed

could be the lightsensor that automatically fits the brightness of your device according to your environment.

Never tought about that... could be possible... Thanks

True, that's the way it works... It remembers your last environment, then adjusts to the new one.

Screen Dim (Solved)

Hey, is there ne way to change the screen dim time ? any app or ne way of prolonging it ? thnx (Im talkin about the screen diming, not turning off)
(Solved)...The screen dims approximately 5 seconds before ur screen timeout...so if ur screen timeout is 15 seconds then in preparation for tht it dims the screen at 10s after which it shuts of at 15. Thanx everyone.

Are you just wanting to change the brightness manually or by the time of day?

Display Doesnt Dim after screen timeout

Guys I have set Screen timeout to 30 Seconds now. After 30 seconds the display turns off without Dimming. Its very Annoying. How to fix it?? Also this Happens when changed to different time in screen timeout. Now I am using 4.4.4 KK

why n how is it annoying if the display turns off without dimming?
I have screen time out of 1 minute and display dims at 55 sec n turns off at 1 min.
I dont even notice the dimming.

Imagine you are reading a interesting article on a Website.. Suddenly the screen turns off without any sign(or dimming). I have to press power button to turn it on. If it dims I'll know that it's going to turn on and I'll touch the screen to extend the timer.

well in that case u can increase the time out.
there is a conf file which controls the dimming level of the screen but dont remember the path as I am also new to XZR.
I remember for my previous XSP but in XZR its not available at that location

That's the fix I'm using for now. But I want a permanent solution. Isn't that dimming defaultly present in Sony stock rom?

My clock on the always on screen is sometimes so dim that i can barley see it. Other times its off and other simes it if normal brightness. ANy ideas why this would be happening?

i think it may be to do with time of day. Mine does the same, it seems to be dimmer through the day time.

Mine does the same. It appears to be auto-dimming based on the ambient light sensor.

You have some many more options on that screen than I do.
Edit, figured it out. Face widgets option is not available with screen lock type being set to none.
OP. My aod dims according to light ambience in the room.

How do you adjust the time the screen stays 'awake'?

My screen timeout is at ten minutes but the screen dims and turns off after 10 seconds and it's incredibly bothersome when trying to read an ebook for example. Have you encountered this? Any suggestions?
Edit: not a Always on display problem

Place AOD on schedule? So, not always on

It still dims after 10 seconds with the always on display off. Do you know of any setting that could change this in thynote9?

Are you using some power saving mode?

Doesn't AOD dim after a while after awhile so as not make the pixels burn unevenly long term? Just use a clock if you want it to be on long.

The problem is the screen dimming after ten seconds not the AOD display. I turned off the AOD display and it still dims too fast.

No,

Does this setting possible have anything to do with it. It used to be default 5 seconds for most phones. Is this possibly interfering with the dimming?

This is the screen timeout setting.

GO to Settings, advanced features and select 'Smart Stay' to on position.
Your screen will time out to whatever you've set it in display settings, but smart stay will stop that happening if it know you're watching something

That is better than before but still not what I want. I basically want the phone screen to be on until I turn it off or the amount of time I put on the screen timeout elapses. Is this just impossible on this expensive device?

Hi,
I'm afraid the max is 10min in screen settings.
The only other way is in developer options, then 'stay awake always' but this only allows this during charging(plugged in)
To enable dev option, you need to go to settings/about phone/software information, then tap build number around 7-8 times

KinScreen is great app for that: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.teqtic.kinscreen

This app is incredibly useful though I am worried about the battery usage. I'm going to use this. Thanks a lot!
