Chrome screen dimming on adroid 7

Hey guys, I'm going to describe issue:
Since android 7 (c432b360) there is no "high performance battery mode" option on my eva-l09. While using Chrome browser, brightness of my display immediately dims (I have no power saving mode neither auto brightness enabled).
Is there any option to disable this "auto brightness" feature in Chrome browser?
Thank you in advance.

Not only in Chrome. Solid Explorer also and some other apps. (B361)

Does anyone have solution for this problem?
I have EVA-L09 and screen dims when accessing default messaging app, phone call def app, Chrome and Gmail.
This is extremely annoying .
Thanks!

Hi, its official nougat.

Happened to me when I did factory reset on N.
I solved this problem with flashing back to M and update to N without doing factory reset after.

for me many apps
like message,contacts,fb,chrome etc.

I'm having the same problem. My screen brightness autodims to zero randomly when I am using Google Chrome. I hope it can be fixed if it's a UI bug.
VTR-L29, EMUI 5.1

hello,
it seems that you need to disable any power saving settings
disable the power genius app if you have it
or use 3rd party app like lux lite
those are the solutions i found so far
if they would release an update soon, maybe they will fix this issue
good luck

Same problem here... Kinda retarded
Sent from my VTR-L29 using XDA-Developers Legacy app

It seems that I have found a solution.
I noticed that (im my case) the screen dims every time when the keyboard pops up, so I have uninstalled google and swift keyboard updates and installed a different keyboard.
No problems with brightness since I done that, so give it a try.
Also, the screen brightness was not reducing when it was on maximum (with auto brightness off ofcourse).

Widgets not updating - Oreo

Hi Guys,
I have the strange behaviour that my calendar widgets (doesn't matter which one, i prefer Business calendar 2 pro) freeze after a time. Don't know when it happens...sometime after an hour, sometimes after 15 minutes.
The widgets don't update then. But when toggling to lower resolution and back to fhd, they work again. Even if I use nova launcher and rotate display and rotate back, they work again.
Seems that it has to do with display...anybody an idea or similar problems and/or workarounds?
thx

Same with Mate 9 (Oreo)
Hi!
Same problem with my Mate 9 updated to Oreo. For example, with my phone, some widgets like BBC and SeriesGuide don't work. Other widgets seem to work (Spotify, Feedly, etc.)
I've tried your workaround (switching resolution) and indeed it temporarily fixes the problem. I suppose and hope we'll have a real fix with next updates by Huawei.
Regards.

For me too widgets not updating after a time. Switching resolution solves the problem temporarily.

To solve it:
- Go to battery option in the app and turn off 'manage automatically'
- Manage manually: all options turned on.

Honor Play screen dimming

Hello, I have disabled adaptive brightness and when I open some apps, the screen starts automatically dimm a bit. When i exit the app, the brightness returns to normal. For example it does in Chrome, messenger, stock message app, stock dialer, youtube and many more. It does not do in Gallery, weather, camera. It's absolutely useless when im going to type in messenger and screen dimms so i can see it worse. Also i am watching youtube and screen dimms. I cannot understand what is this supposed to mean such nonsense feature.
I want to ask you if somebody of you has faced with this and if he figured it out somehow.
Ive already written to honor support , they answered nothing to the piont.
I was figuring out that when i turn adaptive brightness on, this doesnt do, the screen doesnt dimm when i open any app, but adaptive brightnes randomly fades my brightness setting after switching off the screen.
All i would like is what attributes i have to set to some app that i dont want to dimm. I cannot find this out.
Any suggestions thankfull.

"Online videos and games consume a significant amount of power and may cause your phone to heat up. As a result, your phone automatically decreases the screen brightness to prevent your phone from overheating. The brightness will return to normal when your phone cools down.
Some apps automatically adjust the screen brightness for better readability. For example, when you open Contacts or Messaging, the screen brightness is adjusted automatically even when automatic brightness is disabled."
" This function cannot be disabled"
"The screen changes color in direct sunlight.
When the ambient brightness reaches a certain level (such as direct sunlight), the screen brightness and contrast are automatically increased for better readability. This feature cannot be disabled."

Yes and this is bad. Something like answer from honor support. But also messenger goes darker and it has nothing to do with overheating. When i switch on the adaptive brightness this dimming doesnt do with any app. Also with adaptive brightness off some apps do not dim as if they'd have an exception of this. It is very bad that it cant be disabled this makes this phone completely useless for everyday use because readability goes worse when it goes darker.

Same here
Yup, I have the same. I just keep the Automatic adjustment "on" so it stopes dimming. Which is anti-intuitive. You would expect this dimming beeing caused by that Automatic setting not the opposite. Let's hope they will sort it soon.

Unfortunately its the special feature implemented in firmware called "eye care" as they replied me from honor support. It needs to tell them to switch it off at [email protected]

It seems that Velis Auto Brightness app from Google Play Store does the trick (Honor 10 Stock Pie).
Settings:
Automatic brightness: ON
track light in graph: ON
SETTINGS: (advanced):
Automatic brightness: ON
Disable system handler: ON
Start when screen turns ON: ON
Interactive notification: ON
All other settings off/default.
When you turn off the screen and turn it on, go for the first time in notification area and set your desired value in Velis.
Turn off automatic handling of this app in battery section (app start).

Check in the developer settings for the current value of "Increase readability under sunlight".

Hello, that setting in notification area really worked for me, thanks. But the slider Is in steps 66% , 73%, 80% I cannot adjust it per one % but nevermind, at last this helped me.
edit: after one day testing I noticed that it doesnt work. It still dimms the apps.

Hi, it's a pitty that it does not work.. Maybe Velis app is killed by app manager? As i wrote, try to disable any battery management for Velis app. Do you see after that 1 day Velis slider in notification area? If not, it is likely killed by system app manager.
And yes, it is true that the screen can be adjusted only bys steps.
In my case more than a week for honor 10 (EMUI 9) with Velis and still no any screen dimming issues in any app.

Velis was running but the apps start to dimm anyway I dont know what happened. Even when I set brightness in notification area in Velis, apps dimmed.

Download Lower Brightness Filter :
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=nu.lower.brightness&hl=en_US
Enable the permission and set brightness to 100%.
Then select brightness in phone to auto and restart the phone.
Then select desired brightness.
edit : it doesnt work....

Turn on Advanced visual effect.
I used to have the same problem too. Simply just go to setting>smart accessibility>accessibility>Advanced visual effect>turn on.
If it doesn't work go to developer option and make sure the window animation, transition animation and animation duration are set to 1x.
To enable the developer option, go to setting>about phone>build number>tap until it shows u are now a developer.
Hope it does help u.

auto brightness bug?

Hello noticed many times my screen do auto brightness while i have it off.
How do i fix this?
Last official firmware thanks

Unfortunatelly I got the same problem since purchase, none update fixed that. ;/ A bit annoying.
Additionally, after latest update (.190), after every restart the default launcher is set to stock Huawei and I have to go to Settings and change it to Nova Launcher. :/

Its normal for Huawei P Series... it was since p9 or even before!
After Reboot the Settings for autobrightnes restored to default. so it not a bug, its a feature
