Screen gets darker in some apps - Huawei Ascend P7

I've got p7 l10 with emui 3.0 b609. And I'm experiencing 2 issues:
1. In some apps (Firefox, chrome, sms bulit in app) screen goes darker when app is opened and goes back when its closed or just minimalized. I've got auto brightness off.
2. Bluetooth is turning on by itself. I'm not sure if it's happening everywhere but it happens very often while using chrome.
Help!

Hi. For the first issue with the screen: in phone manager in power saving what power plan you have selected? Normal or Smart ?
In Mate 7, I have the same issue with the new firmware b125 when the selection is on Smart when browsing the internet. But if I change to Normal, the brightness of the screen remains the same all the time, so the.issue is gone. You can test it, maybe it's the same for you.
In the previous firmware b120 this issue it's not present under Smart selection, so it's the new firmware with the problem.

This is it. I was using 'Smart'. Now on 'Normal' that is not happening. That solves the first issue.
However bluetooth is still turning on by itself

Nice . I'm glad that this 'fix' it's working for you also. It's from the firmware and I don't know why huawei did this change, it's annoying.

I don't have this issue with bluetooth. Some quoestions/possible solutions:
1. Did you try to reinstall Chrome?
2. Did you try to restart your phone?
3. Did you try an factory reset?
4. Maybe you have an app/game installed that could turn bluetooth on automatic?
Beside the brightness turning darker on browsing, b125 firmware for my mate 7 had another issues and I made an downgrade to an previous version which is more stable ( the one that came with the phone b120). Maybe you can try an downgrade to a previous version for your phone.

1. Only reinstalled updates cuz no root.
2. Yup
3. Nope
4. I don't think so. As I remember problem appeared pretty soon after installing b609.
Today also bluetooth turned on by itself outside chrome, so I don't know anything now. But it's very rare outside chrome and very often inside.
I don't want to downgrade. Previous version is previous emui and I love emui 3.0.

A little update: from some longer time problem no longer appear. Maybe some of chrome updates fixed something. I have no idea. It may be a mistke, but recently my wifi turned off (happened two times in few days). It could be a missclicking while using options panel, but who knows

L09 Nougat - auto screen dimming in Chrome or dialer

Hi guys, does any of you know how to disable auto screen dimming in chrome or dialer or email on nougat? MM had different power profiles that allowed user to pick whichever they prefer. Such option is not available in Nougat. This is quite annoying I have to say as screen in web browser is constantly much dimmer than elsewhere.
I understand battery life consideration at all but above is not a good experience really.
I'm on 378 (just got OTA today). Stock.
Thanks
This is due to the OTA. Had the same issue and fixed it with the following procedure:
Downgrade to B182 FULL rom by using the official Huwaei downgrade package (from Nougat to C300 and than using dload to install the full B182 package).
After that is installed and the phone boots you go to hicare and enable 'pioneer' os package. After a few minutes check the updater app in setting and you will get the upgrade package to B378.
Install it and gone are the issues.
Well it appears that auto dimming is a feature of nougat on P9. Officially updated phone also exhibits this issue -brightness change depending on the app. quite annoying to say the least.

When coming from B182 and updating to B378 via the updater (official update) I do not have this problem. Once I do a factory reset then the problem arises...
Annoying 'feature' to say the least
Totally agree.
As a side note: a friend of mine owns Honor 8. Guess what? He did update his device to N and it exhibits exactly the same annoying issue: screen auto dims once dialer or chrome are launched.
Someone at Huawei should literally be kicked in the b for this. No choice to disable this annoying feature, nothing.
It's not the Nougat! I have the same problems with B166 and B182!
laboratik, how do I "enable 'pioneer' os package"

in the hicare app you should have an entry/button that marks 'os pioneer' clicking on that immediately gave the option to upgrade to the latest b378 from the updater app. as long as you do not factory reset your device you wont have the screen dimming!

On b182 you can go to power settings and enable performance power plan - this will fix the problem. No such option in N unfortunately :/

Huawei P9 screen flickers when trying to unlock

Help please!!
I got the Huawei P9, when phone is near strong sunlight the screen illumination is very weak, but at low light it worked fine.
But now it got worse, I can't even use my phone (in any light condition), when I unlock it the screen is showing for 1 sec and then the lights goes weak (can barely see the screen) while the touch works fine.
When I start phone in safe mode - it works great with out any issue, might be software issue.
I have disconnected battery and restarted - didn't solved it
I tried formatting and restoring to factory but it doesn't fix it - restoring to factory I get android 5.1, when I bought the phone it used en older version, so I think that the factory version in my phone is also messed up.
It search for new ROM but couldn't find the right one for EVA-l09c576b386
I also suspect it may be a sensor issue, can I calibrate the light sensor?
I found a youtube video of the screen flicker issue just like mine (sorry, I can't send here links yet).
You can see it searching "Huawei P9 screen issue (Automatically blackout)" in Youtube
Any ideas please?

That is correct friend, my only explanation for that is that online phone upgrading also updated the factory ROM image.

Phone frequently hangs or touch screen unresponsive

I'm experiencing hangs or touch screen unresponsive, I think its the touch that stops responding unless you lock and unlock the phone.
I have three weeks with the phone and started yesterday right after a Factory Reset. Before that, it never happenes.
Today its better but still happen
Attach an image with the touch's firmware version
Has it happened to you?

same thing happens to me from time to time, i have the phone for 8 days now, it started maybe 3 days ago, screen unresponsiveness happened maybe 4 times to this date
temp fix for me was downloading Google GO files and using it to delete cache, it works for now, no screen freeze up to this point
I think is not the same issue, I refer to touch issue thats come unresponsive some times until you lock and unlock screen. Now I'm testing android P which have another firmware for the touch panel. I will report later if dont presents the issue.
I installed the preview of the Android P developer and used it for two days and after a day of use I had the same problem, very disappointing, I went back to version 8.1, I do not understand why this happened, I never hit it, threw it, nor nothing. I was very carefully with it.
Has this issue been fixed yet?
We have a few of these phones in our family and one of them is doing this sporadically, several times in a row and then it's fine for days.
I can't see a pattern as to when it happens though.
Short Question : any of you using the Nova Launcher? Ive got same problem but using the Nova Launcher since years. Yesterday i did a clean Nova Launcher (stable) install and not taking my Backup file... And my Problem with hanging (Touch panel not recognized often my Touch) seems gone. Dont know why but after testing a whole of things im trying the standard Launcher and it works better.. So i did a clean install of Nova.

Hi guys, do you guys Enable or Disable "Tap to wake" function? If not, try enable that function, maybe that help.
Same problem in my Nokia 5.1 Plus. automatically touched at top of time side and battery indicated area. and i cant open notification bar.
I turned ''Tap to Wake'' on and my screen has worked perfectly since then. So i think this is definetely bug, not HW problen.
has anyone managed to solve this? its diving me nuts since the past few weeks and i dont know what to do with it. I would try to fresh install the OS but if that does not fix it, ill loose everything (game saves and such) but dont fix it.
i noticed sometimes the screen does some kind of refresh and then it starts working again. But mostly i have to lock and unlock to get it working again.

The only thing that worked for me was returning the phone untill the screen was replaced.

Nokia 8 Sudden Restart occurred Randomly

To all Nokia 8 users, have you ever had any issues that sometimes your Nokia 8 starts to freeze seconds and then restart by itself? It doesn't happen once but multiple times. It happens sometimes when you are trying to do something like playing game or opening Google play app. However, since booting to OS and if you leave it be until like many hours later, it won't go sudden restart. Only when you do activities, will it suddenly restart.
Why is this happening? The ROM and app are the same as it be and didn't happen long ago. It only happens like two days ago.
I hope users of Nokia 8 experts have solution to this issue. Thank you
EDITED: I found out the real cause. Although this is hypothesis, it seems GOOGLE PLAY SERVICES is the culprit. I noticed it just force closes and then whenever I launched any apps that have something to do with play services, it just goes into bootloop.
Can anyone confirm this?

Did that. Didn't work. Only by freezing this Google play services, does the Bootloop stop happening. The consequences are the any app that uses Google play services like YouTube will not run well.
Also, I tried installing Gapps using TWRP flashing via zip. But that doesn't solve the problem. Why.....
I've came from a Nexus 5x and a Nexus 6p and the word bootloop gives me goosebumps
Does your phone reboot when you open the stock camera ?

I got the same problem. When my phone's battery drops to 60% or lower it restarts whenever I spend some time surfing the net or opening up the stock camera, with the addition of removing my fingerprint scan every time it restarts that way. However, these issues immediately stop when I plug my phone to its charger. I thought the security update fixed these but sadly it didn't.
I have the exact same issue.
I got my Nokia 8 (ta-1012) one month ago and it occurred about 10 times.
It occurs frequently when I'm using the UI too much, for example, lower volume and hiring it too fast, touching many UI elements and swapping quickly between apps etc..
It freezes for like 10seconds and it restarts quickly, that is, just the UI.
I'm on Oreo BTW. Can anyone confirm having that issue on nougat ?
This happens with me..on camera and games

I solved my problem, i brought my phone to Nokia care center and they replaced my battery with the new one. Thats battery problem, thats all.
May I ask what was the cost of battery?
I just downgraded to Nougat 7.1.1 and for now, the issue of restarting is gone !
Please confirm that if someone is on Nougat.
Even i have the same problem for my nokia 8. Is there any solution to rectify it.

I was on Pie, from where I downgraded to Oreo the problem persisted, then I downgraded to Nougat and the issue is the same, I play a game or video it starts to stutter, even if the video is streaming online or downloaded and being played from memory/rom. I initially thought it was software issue but it seems that I was wrong, I wasted too many hours and bandwidth just downgrading. Now the issue is that I have voided my warranty by unlocking the bootloader, what are my options? as someone said they have gotten the battery replaced. How much does it costs? I am 100% convinced that its battery related issue as when I plug my phone in the charger then all goes fine.
Using Nokia 8 (TA-1004)
My phone started having the same trouble a couple of months ago, it all started with the camera app. Now things are so bad that as sOon as I enter security pin and the home screen appears, the phone restaerts...and it keeps happening until I plug in the charger. This happens even when the battery is 95%. Can't even touch it!!!
I was so excited to get this phone, although everyone told me not to... but I was in love with it... and "Grief is the Price we pay for Love", right?
How could the battery get so weak with average use in just 9-10 months? And how could so many users start experiencing the same problem all at once?
Any help shall be appreciated!
To be sure about your battery , First put your mobile on safe mode for 7 days and notice if restart will happen again or not? also notice battey consumption and charging rapidly mode.-
I was having same problem for last few months , when I put my nokia 8 on safe mode (Restart while pressing down volume button) ,the Restarting problem did not happen even once for 7 days, So I discovered that it is software problem that cause system to hang and restart and consume battery.. Then I discover that " many months ago on android Oreo" I was making changes in Devoloper mode To stop and prevent application from running in background , This was nice on oreo but on Android Pie it cause conflect and system hang with some application that refuse to stop causing system restart.. All problem had gone after allowing application to work again in background normally .. Till now for about one month no single restart >> Also , Rapidly charging mode working nice but unfournatly battery consumption Still high.
I have the same problem with Nokia 8 . Sudden restart and issue with sound at times. Anyone knows the reason, and the fix for it would be appreciated

i have the same problem and after having knowledege about it,i came to a point that this is a software issue as it contains bugs. .
I have the same problem too .
I noticed it a couple of months ago but It could've start long before and I just didn't noticed it.
With Oreo I'm quite sure it never happened.
Reboots randomly once a day (more or less) it happened just 10 min. ago,the phone was on the desk close to me so I had the opportunity to observe it "live"...it was in standby and no app was apparently running .
Quite strange anyway,I'm pretty sure it's a software issue;the battery seems still in health (no unmotivated drain).
Nothing dramatically serious anyway,just strange...there must be a way to fix it...

Question OnePlus Nord CE 5G has received OxygenOS 12 based on Android 12, has anyone installed it? Is it worth the upgrade?

I didn't had any issue with any of the previous updates (btw what update caused bootloop on your device? any problems with update could be caused by installed apps). Anyway, OOS12 has some quirks here and there but nothing serious. It's quite stable and suitable for daily usage.
I have installed it yesterday (version EB2103_11.C.05). After testing I can confirm that it is working very well, including 5G network. Also wifi networking is working without any problems.

It's because there are two slots A and B for this kind of thing, your actual OS boots from slot A, you download update & install it on slot B and if something goes wrong, device returns to boot from slot A.

Hi, I have a model EB2103, and I want to know if this update is also for this model, if so, where can I download it?
I have the EB2103 version here and upgraded to Oos12. I deeply regret to have done it. The system is slow, ugly, and keeps resetting from nowhere. The fingerprint lock just fails much more and I miss a lot of features. The one a miss most is the hidden apps that I could easily access from apps, by swiping to right. This is gone and now I need to open the telephone app and type a PIN to see a little window will the hidden apps. Looking for a downgrade of my phone right now.
As I wrote here

everything is fine with me, the system is running as like a Swiss watch.

I can definitely confirm that the update broke a lot of settings. For me it reset the battery and notification settings for several apps, for example AccuBattery. The apps notification icon does not show up in the top anymore and I think this is the case for every non-system app right now. I am using Nova Launcher and had to do quite a rework of my theming. Colors of the clock widget changed to a cyan, which looked awefull and the google calendar app widget went pale. I also had to remove apps that I previously deactivated.
All in all a horrible update that destroyed my theming and installed a bunch of stuff I did not ask for.
Looking forward to the end of warranty next year to root and remove the OS for something cleaner. Guess this will be the only OnePlus in my posession.
EDIT: I figured out why in my case the notification icons disappeared. I've set "don't disturb" and all the notification icons disappeared, as is with the notification icon of AccuBattery, which is a silent notification. So not only does the system not display a notification in silent mode (which is ok) it also disables the icon in the top banner for some reason. Does anybody know how to disable that behaviour and have it like before, where notifications are silent, but their icons appear in the top banner?
EDIT2: Got the AccuBattery icon working by holding the finger onto the silent notification in the pull-down and then set the notification to "important".

I didn't find out the best way to do it. It looks like MSM Download Tool is the way, but my drivers are still not working as should recognize the phone... I almost bricked the phone 'cause I started flashing it and the phone just reset in the middle of the process.
After a few days, I also noticed that the fingerprint sensor reacts really slow.
Today I printed a document and the print job just crashed after successfully sending the document to the printer.
To top it off, my Moto 360 3rd Gen battery life went from 1.5 days to just under 6 hours.

Try to re-register your fingerprints, this should work.
Did you try to print another document to reproduce the error?
To avoid battery problems on your smartwatch, you could try to allow only apps sending notification, that you need (i.e. Whatsapp, Instagram, Telegram etc.). I assume, that every app send notifications to your smartwatch atm

Thanks for the suggestions, I will try to look at the app rights management again, but I already restricted a lot of stuff and the point is, that before the update, everything just worked a lot better. It is a disappointing update overall that causes a lot of unnecessary problems.
I could not get root to work after the update since the TWRP image was not bootable anymore (flashing it caused the phone only to boot to fastboot). I got the phone working again by factory reset. If anyone knows a solution it would be highly appreciated.
By far the best update to Android on this phone. 11 was just abysmal compared to this.
It runs extremely smooth with no stutters. Everything opens up very quickly etc.
The battery time is, at the same time, clearly better.
It looks much cleaner.
And the functionality is mostly for the better too!
It's been a long time since I have been this positivley surprised by an android update!
No problems when updating, everything worked and missed nothing important after the update.
It's a 100% worth it!
Installed recently and breaks termux with phantom process 32. If you use termux and any of its plugins, this will certainly break it.
